Overall, this is a decent gate. As I said in sizing, it is too tight to use the swing feature with the feet provided, but that is the size of our doorway. It is sturdy. My son leans against it and it holds tight.
The only major issue is that it pinches pretty hard. When baby is grabbing at the top of it, the two pieces flex enough that baby can get fingers caught in there. Just don't set it up and ignore baby. If he/she is crying, it could be because of pinched fingers. We use it to keep baby out of the kitchen, and only when I'm near him, so it's ok.
If you are looking to get something you can leave the room, you might want to get something wood.
- How accurate was the sizing? Ok. If you use the swing feature, it is a little too tight, to the point where I could not use the feet where the gate closes. Otherwise, not bad.
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. This is a sturdy gate. Holds even when baby is leaning on it.
- Was the product free of any manufacturer defects? yes
