I have not fully removed this item from the box because I could tell before even opening it that it will not serve the purpose I purchased it for. It is not nearly tall enough of heavy enough to keep my dogs contained to an area. This would be much more of a decorative item in our house... not at all a "pet gate". I went to return and see that they are going to charge me a $9 return shipping fee. Highly annoyed so I may try to resale it privately first. I only give two stars because, sure, it looks nice and might work for a teacup dog.
