I purchased this gate to go in the extra-large archway to my living room.  This gate is both functional and stylish.  It successfully keeps my baby in the living room and the dogs out.  The gate can be opened with one hand, and it will swing closed behind.  It is tall, but my husband and I can still step over the gate if our hands are full.

The only downside is the button you press to unlock the gate is sticky and can be hard to press.  This means that my 3-year-old is unable to open the gate by herself.  My 80 year old grandmother, who lives with me, needs help opening the gate most of the time as well.

I still recommend this gate.  It is attractive, functional, my husband and I have no trouble operating the gate.  Even though it's mounted to the wall, it easily unhooks from the mounts and can be folded flat against the wall if need be.
