“Perfect gate! #ReceivedFreeProduct This is an absolute must if you have crittters! It’s sturdy solid and reliable! It’s made extremely well. All you have to do is turn the legs where it stands it’s already put together for you to use! It’s super easy to put up and put away. It fold up easily and can be used just about anywhere! I love it!”

“Works great! #ReceivedFreeProduct We’ve been trying to get away from the crate while we’re at work. Before we would just put a bunch of stuff infront of the kitchen doorway so the dog couldn’t get to the rest of the house. These panels are pretty cool and nonslip. However, it is huge! It has 4 folding panels and I really only needed 2 of them but regardless it’s still working great and it’s cute.”

“Just what we were looking for! This gate is solid wood, and does not require additional feet to be purchased. The feet swivel out from the bottom, making it easy to use. It is tall, sturdy, and looks nice.”

“So Many Helpful Configurations! We lost our beloved dog and now are finally planning to adopt a puppy. We just moved to a new house that has lots of nooks and crannies for a rambunctious puppy to find trouble. Our floors are tile, so we thought a playpen configuration during the day while we are here would work in our large entry way with a soft bed until we can get her potty and obedience trained. Then as she grows we can change the configuration of this 8 panel pen to an operating gate with a latch door to direct her travels. The surfaces of this playpen are so smooth and so stylish with the white wood and metal combination. You just wipe it down with a mild detergent to clean it. The instructions are clear and the installation was easy. It balanced and formed a nice seal on our tile floor. The locking/latching mechanism is secure. The instructions say not to use as a pool barrier or at the top of stairs. It is perfect for our use on our first floor. We often sit for our daughter's dog and we have used this with her until she got used to our house as she would go scouting and have accidents. It is tall and sturdy and I'm sure it will last a long time because of the quality and the creative design. Now we just need to get the puppy!”

“Easy to install! I got this gate because my dog sheds so bad so I need to put her in certain areas of the house when we leave! The gate was super easy to install, she can’t barrel through it like others so it’s sturdy as well! The gate is easy to use and I like that my toddler can’t open it like she can baby gates! It’s high enough that my dog can’t jump over so an all over win!”

“Great Divider/Gate. We’ve had lots of dogs and lots of wire, plastic, wood and bamboo gates and indoor fences. This is the best solution we’ve ever encountered. The gate, that can be placed anywhere in the six pc. fence, is really easy to use and incredibly versatile in configuration. The product is well engineered, high quality and well designed. And attractive to look at.”
By Lily on Jun 12, 2022
“Easy, Convenient, Sturdy. I love this gate because it easily changes shape and is so versatile. We use it with my little Puppy, including folding up to take to my mother-in-laws to create a little pen in her guest room for a party and then brought it home. When it’s up, it’s sturdy and the gate works well. It isn’t hands free, but that’s fine for us.”
By Stephanie on Apr 7, 2018
“Love all the different configurations! Very pleased with quality and its ability to keep our 3 large dogs (2 mastiffs and a boxer) contained to a specific are of the house. Color is true to picture and goes well with our darker hardwood floors. Very easy to assemble and move as needed by pulling the pins and moving in a couple of sections (I'm over 50 and very easy to move even by myself). Gate mechanism is easy to operate with one hand yet strong enough to hold firm when 50+ lb puppy jumps on it. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars was it did come damaged. One of the connector spindles was broken at the base. We glued and put a screw up through the bottom for reinforcement and it works as if nothing had ever happened. The box wasn't damaged in any way and the wrapping was intact on the piece when we unpacked it. Our assumption was that it was packed that way at the factory which is disappointing for quality control. Still even with that I'd strongly recommend it - well worth the price!”

“Best gate out there!. We purchased this for our puppy and I love the structure of the gate and how versatile it is. It’s high quality hardwood yet easy to move around. Sturdy and looks nice too. I just purchased another one.”
By Sassyrassy6 on Oct 21, 2019
“Great Gate. This gate was just what I needed. Needed a gate that was sturdy, had some weight and did not attach to the wall. Our 13 year old standard poodle is not to climb the stairs any more and this gate works great at the bottom of the stairs. Plus, it is easy to move when we need to go upstairs. Attractive too. The whole family Loves the gate.”
By Chloe on Nov 21, 2020
“Best for use and looks. I've had so many gates etc over the years. This is just perfect height for small dogs and looks fantastic. It's easy to use and easy to adjust as needed for wider hallways.”

“Sturdy. #ReceivedFreeProduct This gate is high-quality and definitely comes in handy with my mischievous little pooch. It holds up steadily and easily.”
By Ccb123 on Jan 27, 2023
“Great gate, easy nice functional. This is a great gate. Everything just as described. Actually looks even better then in images. Blends well with our staircase and furniture. Comes ready to use. Super easy and functional.”
By Rina on Jul 5, 2022
“LOVE IT. #ReceivedFreeProduct I love this 3-panel gate even more than I thought I would. It's so much better than the ones that lock in doorways because it's easier to move around and easier to adjust. We have steps that we like to block when we have company over that won't accommodate a standard pet gate and this works perfectly for them. It keeps the pup in the other room while we have guests. It's also very nice looking vs some of the other gates on the market. Blends right in with some of our other white kitchen furniture.”

“Best gate ever! We have had this gate for a couple of years to contain our elderly pugs in the kitchen. They have become less reliable in their house training in old age. We tried so many before, but this one is by far the best. It has held up beautifully for all these years and is by far the most convenient. Easy to step over and easy to just move a corner to let the dogs out when needed. At first, we did need to weigh down the ends as our pugs learned to push it open, but that was a minor issue and they have stopped even trying so we no longer need to do this. Love that it can fit in odd size openings. So worth the money!”

“Bought for baby gates around hot tub. Although I think they are overpriced, I love these panels. They look great and fold up easily and the handles are awesome. My only complaint is 2 of the panels were broken upon receiving them...Disappointing when you spend over 2k.”
By Hannah on Nov 15, 2022
“The clear choice. This sturdy little partition is perfect to keep our 15 pound dog in the kitchen without obstructing the doorway. We easily move one section to pass through and nothing touches our walls. The look is modern.”
By Annie on Jan 25, 2023
“Kitten Blocker. I Foster kitties and this works really well when I need to block them out of the room. Pretty pricey but worth it.”
