This pet gate is just what we ordered. True to another review I had read, it is a little darker than the picture,  which I was happy about. It is completely assembled when you take it out of the box except for the latch which was easily attached. The gate is very nice looking and is perfect to block my living room off from the 2 dogs. They can see you through the rungs so they are happy! It is super positional for whatever kind of entrance way you have.  because it is 36 inches high, the dogs are not able to jump it like they do with other plastic gates we have. It was not inexpensive but it is definitely what we were looking for and I would recommend it to anyone.
