What can I say? This gate has been fantastic, both for corralling our little guy and our little Schnauzer. The gate can be mounted where it swings open or as a standard "pressure barrier" that presses against both sides of the doorway/opening. The wood that the gate is made of is gorgeous and the handle/release to open the gate is simple to use. Much easier than your a-typical gates with the bar across the center that you lift. The included instructions are clear and detailed with great descriptions and large illustrations. All hardware for either type of installation is included and there are full-size templates to put against your wall for precise hardware installation. So you have a gorgeous wooden gate that anybody with even rudimentary do-it-yourself skills can install in short order with great results. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
