The first gate was damaged, but Wayfair quickly replaced it.  This is exactly what I was looking for and just like the picture.  I took the middle hinge off so that I can gate off the two stairwells when my nephew was visiting.  For my primary use, I have the four sections lined across my kitchen opening.  They are sturdy.  I do worry a bit about scratching the wood floors because they do not easily slide around.
