This was very easy to install. I did it by myself in less than 10 minutes. It is sturdy. I love that I did not have to put holes in the wall. It does comes with wall cups that you can screw in if you would like extra support. I purchased this to use as a dog gate for my 80 lb Husky. It's been a few days and I am loving this purchase! The price was also really good compared to other gates.
