Regalo Home Accents® Extra Wide Walk Thru Baby Safety Gate

This gate is truly an accent to any home décor. It's extra wide and it was very easy to assemble. The gate and opening are easy to open and it's wide enough for a large person to walk through. It's super sturdy so I don't have to worry about little people pushing it down. The only concern is that the bottom piece fits flat against the floor and I'm concerned about cleaning under it. I don't know if you have to take the gate completely down just to clean it. So far, I just vacuumed around it and it seemed to be clean. I would recommend this gate to anyone who need to block off an area for children or pets. The slats are small enough that my dog and cat cannot get through it.

I love the look of this gate. It blends beautifully with just about any décor. The dark color and hardwood accents are really lovely and blend beautifully with hardwood flooring and furniture. The gate is relatively simple to install and it took me only 5 or 10 minutes to get set up. I used this at the bottom of my staircase to corral the grandkids. I think I would have to think twice about using it at the top, mainly because I have it stretched to it's max width. Gravity, in this case, is not necessarily your friend. My staircase is 44" wide, the maximum for this gate so it is necessary to extend the mounting screws just about all the way so it is not as secure as it is in a smaller opening. The instructions were clear and simple. The lock system is very good. You need to pinch both sides simultaneously and slide the mechanism to the left. No toddler would be able to open it easily and it would take them quite a long time (if ever) to figure out the mechanism. The height of the gate is quite tall which is perfect for homes with toddlers or large dogs. The extensions for the gate were really helpful since I needed both to use where I needed it. I wish they sold additional extensions but the parts list that came with the gate does not list them so I'm not sure they are available. It is nice to be able to swing it open and walk through rather than climbing over the old wooden gate I had. This gate is great for the limited use of a Grandma but looks every bit tough enough for daily toddler or pet use. Overall, I am quite impressed.
