Very pleased with this gate. Sturdy and attractive, fits in great with my decor. I’ve been using it at the bottom of our main staircase. There are double hinges between each panel so you can fold it in either direction, and the base has rubber pads on the corners so your floors won’t get scratched when you move the gate around. I haven’t needed to attach the feet, either. Like all gates of this type, this is more of a visual deterrent. A strong dog or child could knock it over if so compelled. One of the panels arrived with a small paint scuff. I decided it wasn’t worth the effort to replace it.
