This is a pet or child gate. Ive had other gates that were missing parts or impossible to assemble --this one is well made, comes with all the parts, and more instructions than you could ever want--even telling you to consider future users of your pet gate and howwhere to store your parts. It almost is ridiculous, but I suppose helpful. Its an entire booklet that someone dedicated their life to creating, it seems. Anyway, the gate is pretty great and a step up from bad gates and cardboard walls. Note It comes with extensions and extra parts to make the install permanent --I didnt use those at all and (per options in the instruction manual...) it still works just as well I went for the dark as Id rather have a gate than something that looks like a baby gate. Its tall enough unless you own a German Shep. or a Great Dane (I just saw a Ger Shep. jump a 6 foot wall.)
