I was really disappointed in this gate by Petmaker; it was roughly finished and snagged our clothes and hands.  I communicated this to Wayfair and they replaced it at no additional charge to me.  The replacement gate was the same poor quality, but it didn't seem fair to try another; I think the quality in this particular manufacturer's gate is just lacking ... and certainly not up to Wayfair's standards.  It is an expensive gate and absolutely not worth the money it costs.  I have donated them both to a dog rescue with the warning that they will have to refinish and repaint them to avoid splinters and snags.  I would have given no stars, based on the quality, but it does stand up if both ends are propped (not actually "free" standing) ... and Wayfair was responsive in trying to replace the first one.
