The LARGE OPENING is what distinguishes this pet gate from so many others. The size of the opening is a very important feature if you'll be going back and forth through the gate frequently. With some other gates, even a small person has to turn sideways in order to pass through the gate and that becomes very annoying. (I don't know why product descriptions and specifications of pet gates never identify the size of the gate opening because it's a very important feature). This gate is well constructed and doesn't look cheap, but I wouldn't recommend relying on the foot lever to open the gate.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My daughter has hit the age where she loves to sneak into the kitchen and empty the cabinets. We live in an old (nearly 100 years old) home, with an open floor plan, so gating off the kitchen is necessary (other rooms can be shut off by doors). We had previously been using a small, plain tension gate that we simply stepped over. But as our daughter grew, she began trying to climb it, and we knew it was only a matter of time. Also, we were tired of having to adjust it and tripping over it all the time--especially when we needed to let the dog in the kitchen. The extra tall arched decor safety gate installed in five minutes, including opening the box. It looks great in our home, and what I love so much is that it does not require any invasive installation, unlike a lot of the other nicer-looking gates we had looked into. It fills the space easily and is very sturdy, without causing any damage to our antique door frame! I really wish we had had this months ago!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I previously had a shorter gate the my kids liked to hang on when it was opened. I love how tall this one is. I have 3 children ages 14, 4, and 1. Its so easy to put together I let my 14 year old do it. My previous gate my 4 year old could open himself but this one he can not.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Regalo Baby gate looks very nice. Installation was very easy and all the pieces are of really good quality. This is by far the best baby gate I have ever had. I highly recommend the Regalo Baby gate.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this gate. It was super easy to put together and install. I did mount it to wall, and it works great. I really like that it is taller and comes with an extra extension. The overall look is also very nice and makes my home look better than a traditional gate would. I will definitely buy another one for a different opening.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is is very easy to install. Its extremely sturdy and a very good height to keep toddlers protected. I love the arch because its a modern twist to what gates use to look like, very cute and can connect to any doorway.
