I wanted a gate that could cover many different size areas.  I use the end piece like a gate.  It moves easily without having to mess with the rest of the gate.  It is high enough, that I don't have to bend over to adjust it.  The only issue I have is that when it is located in a much smaller place the "V" section of the gates sticks out fairly far.  Next time I will look into an slide version of a gate.  I am happy with the gate and its flexibility.
