This is a nicely-sized wide gate for spaces which most gates won't fit. The door does tend to close on its own, and only opens on one side, which I wasn't aware of prior to purchase. It also seems a bit shorter than I expected, and if not for the wall mounts (which were quite difficult to secure to the walls), it would not stand up at all. It isn't quite the quality I'm used to in gates and was disappointed. Still, it is a nice-looking gate.
