Works great! Easy set up. Our Am. bulldog can now push against it all she wants and it doesn't budge. Also she can no longer put her front legs on the top rail either. With the old plastic babygate we had we were always concerned she would push the gate out of the doorway as she had already done so on several occasions. Fortunately the sound of the gate slamming on the floor scared her back into the room so we were able to get it back up before she got out. Now, no way, no worry. Very sturdy and strong. Doorway is a bit narrow but I'm a large woman. Hubby has no problem going thru.  Also, he doesn't trip over it either since he doesn't have to climb over it anymore! Another great buy!!!
