This is useful if you're not going to move it around much.  But we switched to folding pet gates when we realized that this one is quite cumbersome to move around.  It also takes tools and time to expand and contract it, unlike the folding style gates.  My guests keep tripping over the very large stabilizers, which stick out almost a foot on each end.  The folding style gates don't have those, which is a relief.
We now use this as one wall of a pen for some of our rescued foster bunnies, and it works very well for that.
