Bought 2 of these gates to keep my BIG Newfoundland puppy from going up and down our 2 sets of stairs until he is older and can be trusted to have the run of the house.  Based on the price I thought they might be poorly made or may not function well, but they have proven to work well and be of good quality.  Great thing, too, that you don't need to put screws or nails in the walls to install this gate.  I definitely recommend this gate if you are looking for an inexpensive way to keep toddlers or pets confined to certain parts of your house.
