Internet's Best Traditional Arch Pet Gate, Espresso

I got this gate to set up on our back porch so my elderly kitty would not wander down the steps to explore the back yard unsupervised when he is lounging on the couch glider. We have black vintage metal porch railings and I wanted something that would closely match. I find the skate to be very attractive, tall, and stable. I have had no problems whatsoever.

I needed a taller gate to keep my Sheltie from sailing over the shorter gate that we had in our living room. This one worked great. She no longer can clear its height.

This gate is very handy due to its sturdiness and portability. Plus it can block off a wider than standard doorway. Please note: Our hound is older and will not knock this over. However, an aggressive, large dog could knock this down.

We used to have a number of these gates around our home. We loved how it was movable, configurable to suit the dimensions of the space, and the wood finish was more tasteful than some other available options. Unfortunately, one of our cats jumped and got her front paw stuck at one of the connector/hinges and was hanging from her paw and welping in pain. After helping her down, we immediately removed all of these gates from our home and wanted to warn other cat households about this risk. Fortunately our cat was feeling okay but we were all traumatized for a while and it also could have been much worse so please take care when using!!

I bought this gate to keep my cat and my daughter’s cat separated. It worked well for them and would work for small dogs but I don’t think it would work for larger dogs as I’m sure they would be able to knock it over.

This gate is worth every penny I was charged! It’s sturdy and weighs enough to prevent it from falling over. It also has a beautiful appearance

I ordered 3 of these gates, 2 of the smaller opening sizes and 1 large. We just bought a house and had a few rooms recarpeted recently that we don't wish to have our dogs in 24/7. Although they look very nice, these just do not have the weight to be sturdy enough to deter our curious dogs that like to be in the same room as us at all times. My 2 mini goldendoodles are smart and can easily stick their nose between the openings in the gate and slide the one end open just enough so they can get in the room. We also have a 3 month old bernedoodle puppy and if she gets excited and tries to jump on the gate, it will fall down.

Luckily if we are home and aren't in a room that is gated off, the dogs will leave them alone and not try to break through them, so they work as a deterent in that sense. Would be nice if you could actually order feet for the bottom of these gates as I feel that would add a much needed extra support for them so they'd stand up a little sturdier... but low and behold of course this brand of pet gate doesn't have feet available for purchase anywhere that I have researched online. Afraid to order feet that are available for other brands of pet gates similar to this one for fear they won't fit since they all say the feet are designed for their specific brand of gate. Will continue to use them since I spent just about $200 on them, but I wouldn't recommend them unless the company offers the feet for the extra support these gates really could use. Or if your dog doesn't want to be by your side all the time and will just leave them be, then they might be a decent option for you. … more

Very disappointed in the quality of this gate it didn’t last more than two days before all the slots started falling out of the gate.. was a complete waste of money!

This gate is absolute perfect. Extremely well made and attractive for any décor. I have a Balinese cat who discovered he could push my sliding screen Pella door at the bottom and sneak out! I love to sit in my livingroom and have the screen doors wide open while I watch TV or work on the computer etc. However I found myself outside searching for my cat more often than not! Thankfully I live on a dead end and it's a very quiet street and he never got very far. My point is I was getting very frustrating not being able to open my doors and enjoy the fresh air. I searched for a perfect gate for quite some time! I found this one and in less than 24 hours it's already out of the box and standing This gate is absolute perfect.

No installation what so ever!.. it is very sturdy and all I have to do is move the hinged section a couple of inches to go in-and-out of the door. My escapist cat can not fit through the rails. I am extremely pleased with this purchase and I cannot believe it came in less than one day! Excellent service and product! … more

We got this for our lab puppy to block off the stairs and other doorways. It is well made and sturdy.
