I have two large Dobermans and they love to get into everything the shouldn't.  I have tried numerous gates, some wood, some metal, but they are very smart and have figured out how to get around them.
This particular gate is different.  First all of the construction is better than other wooden gates.  The design allows for more flexibility in closing off areas, it is heavier and taller than other gates I have tried, but most of all , it looks good.  So far so good...they have not tried gnawing at it yet though.....
I would highly recommend it.

Cons: floor stands need to be a bit more secure
