It’s light but works for us. We only use this to separate a space for our cat and dog when we are not at home. Our cat is still very sensitive about her space. We have a 50lbs American Bully. He doesn’t knock it down or tip over. If he see the gate is up. He knows and walk away. It works for us. But if u have a dog that jumps or over excited temperament this will not work for you.
