Highlighted Reviews
"These gates are wide enough for my large openings and keeps both of of my dogs ( a large Golden and tiny Maltipoo) out of rooms they don't belong in."
"My gate lasted 1 1\/2 weeks. Unfortunately, I had ordered a second because it fit perfectly but my 6 lb. Chihuahua was able to lean against it and the center wooden pegs cracked and that is what holds the entire gate. Not to mention this item cost $49! Very sad."
