β€” Gavin

"Flimsy gate. Can’t tighten hardware enough to stay in place. Gate was bowed vertically so bottom and top clasps don’t line up, have to mess with it each time you open and close. Buy a different gate"

Bottom Line

Given the cost issues and usability problems, more cautious users might seek other options, benefit from returns policy.
