Poor quality. We’ve only had this retractable mesh gate for a few months. It’s only used to preclude our cat from entering our foyer, so she isn’t constantly trying to make a quick escape out the door. There aren’t any small children here, hanging and pulling on it at all.

A few of the plastic ribs have poked through the black mesh, and are sticking up, and the black mesh has been separated at the seam where it’s supposed to keep the plastic ribs, exposing them. The plastic ribs are sharp, and I can’t imagine a small child actually touching them, and getting pricked on their fingers, or hands.

I’ve included a few pictures for your perusal.

This mesh gate aesthetically looks great, but the bottom line is that it doesn’t hold up well, under normal everyday use.

I do not recommend it, and I’ll go as far to caution anyone with small children from buying it completely. I wouldn’t want any small child, hurting themselves by touching it, in the wrong place.
