I got this gate to use in the hallway for my pets and my kids. It’s incredible.  It’s so easy to put up and easy to retract as well and I like the gray color keeps it very neutral. My cats can’t jump over it and the kids don’t know how to open it either and so far none of the mesh has ripped! It’s easy to install antique down if you needed to move it to different parts of the house as well.
