Does its job. It can span a very wide opening and when it is attached it is secure. (be sure to check the minimum opening size as it is still pretty wide at its smallest setting)
- Can retract/swing to allow people to walk through.

Cons:
- the description says it "swings". I was expecting some kind of door in them middle, but really you just unlatch one of the sides and the whole thing pivots side that is still attached. Not elegant, but it works.
- It is not easy to attach and remove from the iscrews. I find myself stepping over it to avoid having to "swing" the gate open.
- Even when installed the gate is "rattley". It is not going to come apart, but it does not have a solid feel to it.
