I bought this gate to keep our dogs from eating our cats' food in another room. This gate has been a PERFECT solution to the problem. It still allows us to go in and out of the room without having to mess around with a baby gate but it also has the cat door so the kitties can come and go.This is an extremely sturdy gate an made out of metal and not cheap plastic. Wayfair has very fast delivery and I am a very happy customer.
