We got this so that we could allow our son to play in the living room and not crawl onto the hardwood floor of the kitchen as we cooked. 

This gate expands to about 4ft wide which was just enough! It’s extremely durable yet light weight and easy to use. 

Highly recommend if you have a doorway/hallway/stairs to block off. It holds tightly into the walls, and doesn’t damage the walls. 

Highly recommended!!
