Pet gates are usually not very attractive. These are an exception.  So many of my friends have pets and, after seeing these gates, want to purchase them for their own pets.  I use them downstairs and constantly reconfigure them dependent upon where I want my dog to be -- either upstairs, or downstairs, in the den, or just in the kitchen. I love that they look great, are portable, and can be configured to fit so many different ways in a hallway.  Great buy!
