I bought this gate a month ago and it was working fine. It's not the sturdiest but it did the trick of keeping my 11 month old out of the kitchen. Today, I realized the wood was cracked on the right hand bar but before I could reach my son, he stood up against it and the entire gate collapsed, leaving him to fall on his head. He is okay but did get a mark on his head. I'm hoping for a replacement, if not, I will junk this one and go for a more expensive steel gate.
