This is the perfect solution for us!  We just purchased new furniture for our living room, and needed a way to keep our two fur babies out of that room unless we are with them to make sure they stay on the floor. Ordinary pet gates wouldn’t work because we needed something that was freestanding and could span at least twelve feet. This was the answer. Comes ready to set up, the only assembly required is to slip the feet on the bottom rail. Couldn’t be any easier!  Easy to put into place.  It is sturdy, and has contained our rambunctious Weimaraner and large Basset Hound/Labrador mix.  I don’t believe we could have found anything that works better. Very pleased with this purchase!!
