This works really well for us because we are able to move it around depending on where we are in the house...upstairs, downstairs, etc.  It doesn't need to be installed with tools like other gates so it is easy to quickly put in a doorway and then take it down.  Additionally, one of the reasons I really like this gate is because it looks great in our house!  The mesh and gray fabric match our home colors, which is definitely a plus.
