This Chelsea gate combination kit with the extensions was a great purchase. First of all, purchasing as a kit saved money over shopping around for gates and extenders to fit my large doorway. Secondly, with the included extensions, this gate can be used in other areas of the house if I need to move it. I don't have any kids but wanted a gate to keep the dogs out of my bedroom until doggy 'bedtime'. This way they are not tracking mud into my bedroom or chewing treats and toys apart on my bed - messy! The gate shuts automatically so I don't have to worry about them sneaking in! The gate was pretty easy to put up as it doesn't require any tools. It really looks nice in either my modern bedroom dÃ©cor on one side or the natural hues and woodsy living room vibe on the other. Although my big dogs 'respect' this gate and don't try to knock it down, it is a very sturdy metal gate.
