It's hard to find a pet gate to span my very wide entrance to the living room, where I do NOT want my dogs hanging out. I also didn't want to permanently attach anything to the walls, or have to dismantle the gate to let people through into the room. This gate is extra wide, and I was attracted to the 'slide' feature.
The quality is very nice; it looks good in the house - like furniture, not like a utility gate. It is very stable (at least for my Chihuahua & Cairn terrier). The only drawback is that the 'slide' action is difficult to manage. It does not move smoothly at all & needs to be wiggled & fiddled with every time; kind of frustrating. I will try lubricating with PAM & see if it helps. It might work better when not extended to full length, as mine is."..." Read more
