I have a reactive dog and an overactive young dog. Which at times has caused fights between them. This ensures that they see each other in a calmer state while protecting them from injury to each other.It looks nicer then I thought. I didn't want to look tacky but surprisingly gives my 200 year old home a midevil feel. I love that it has a choose of color.I am disabled and unable to do much but all though heavy duty bars not as heavy to lift. I installed it in about 20 minutes. The pictures in the instructions were helpful but they aren't clear on how to install it. I have had a smaller similar gate years ago so I understand some on how the pressure locks it in. I will be securing it with wood in place.I did use the larger insert to make the width I needed but love the options!I will be buying more in the future at least one so I can move it around the house to fit our pups needs. The hight is really what I need with my one jumper! The price is high but well worth it for peace in my home.
