I just love this adapta-gate. I can tell you that I have had many baby/pet gates and this one is by far the best. It works great for children and pets, and the adaptability is perfect for my house. I have a unique opening in my livingroom/ bar area and this gate fits it perfectly. The best surprise i got when i received my gate is it came fully assembled, all I had to do was bolt it to the wall's. I would absolutely buy this gate and recommend it to all my friends and family. The only bad thing I can say about it is once you have it set up you have to lift the door up slightly to open it and it will lift off the floor, but it's a very small lift and every great thing about this gate far out ways this slight inconvenience.
