I absolutely love this gate. It is very easy to install and unlike many baby gates the stay open feature this gate provides is awesome. We have to use a bungie cord to keep the living room baby gate open. We have a very small house and don't have a bedroom door. This gate is the door. We shut it during the day to keep the dogs out but leave it open at night so the dogs can go out if they need to. I bought a 2nd one to put across our front door so we can open the door without fear of the dogs getting out. Again, the stay open feature is great when we're bringing groceries in. We can shut the baby gate that closes off the living room, bring in all the groceries and then shut the gate so the dogs can't go out. The gate is attractive too so it doesn't even look bad at the front door.
