Love this gate! The color is a greenish gray and the cutouts are not finished on the inside edges, but that’s okay because it is a light wood finish inside the cuts. It’s a nice, minimal contrast. It’s heavy, can stand on its own and appears more like decor than a pet gate. We wanted something that didn’t have legs that stuck out for balance, this does not, and it folds easily. The only issue I see is that a larger animal could push it over if they wanted to...a smaller animal wouldn’t be able to do so.
