This gate looks nice at first glance, but it's deceptive. It's high enough to keep critters in, but low enough to step over, if we have to, but it's not very sturdy. Our mid-sized puppy, who is still learning how to respect a gate, can push through it fairly easily. If we double one panel back on itself, it's heavy enough to stay put, but then it's not long enough.  It's also made with lower-grade wood, as you can see the flaws and slivers through the paint. All in all, it's okay, but if you can get a bigger, heavier gate, opt for the upgrade, instead.
