I had to put a dog down, in February. In March, my boxer/Australian shepherd mix, decided to start jumping the baby gate, that keeps her in back room (at night and while we are gone). My couches will never be the same. I couldn't scold her because I never caught her in the act. I needed a solution to keep her in the back room, with our other 2 dogs. After searching, literally, everywhere, I found this gate. I was skeptical. It is TALL, taller than the "tall", other places had. It screws in wall, no more paint coming off when I need to get through. The door is so convenient, could be a little wider, I have to turn sideways to walk through. It is sturdy, well built, looks GREAT with my room colors!
