 Great Looking Gate! This is the Taller version. Jun 16, 2007
By ESVK
"SVK"
Pros:
-- Great looking gate compliments our hardwoods much more so than a white plastic gate (ugh).
-- The HL and HS are almost 8" taller than the other Richell gates. The extra height is definitely needed if your dog(s) is larger than a tea-cup breed. The Freestanding design is fairly sturdy although I would be concerned if it could really hold up against very large dogs.
Cons:
-- Definitely expensive. But worth it if looks are important and you forsee using it for a long period of time.
-- The gate folds nice and slim - but the freestanding legs stick out from the unit making it wider than I had hoped. But still easy to carry.
-- Not easy to adjust the width on the fly because there are four screws that secure the two pieces of gate together.
-- I would suggest coating the unit with a coat or two of polyurethane so that your dogs will not scratch the finish on top with their nails if they jump up or "hang" over the top of the gate.

Free-Standing Dog Gate Aug 04, 2007
By M. Korth
I am quite pleased with the dog gate. It's very attractive. It looks much more like a piece of furniture than a typical dog gate. My only disappointment with the product is that it is rather heavy, making it somewhat difficult to move easily, which is something we need to do whenever we open the front door. (Our gate is intended to block our dog from entering the foyer.) I think I'll add felt strips over the rubber pieces on the feet to make it slide more easily.
I am less satisfied with the supplier. Delivery took a month rather than a week, and there was no notification of the delay from the supplier. However, it did eventually arrive, and it was not damaged. I will probably try to avoid this supplier for any other products, if I can, although I will use them if they are the only source of a product I want.

Nice Product but. . . Feb 11, 2008
By Murphy
This is a beautiful gate and does what we need to corral the Basset Hounds but for the price - couldn't they have made a latch or quick release of some sort?! We put it up over night and while we're at work but in the evening I have to use a screwdriver to let us all in the TV room!

 Excellent for baby-proofing, too! Jul 17, 2007
By Savvy Mom
After looking at many different products, I purchased this gate to prevent our toddler from getting into the fireplace. It's the perfect solution for our needs!
Things I like about it:
* Adjustable size -- allowed us to fit it perfectly around the fireplace
* Stable -- the legs are sturdy and large enough so it won't tip over, even when the baby pulls herself up on it
* Freestanding -- didn't require us to drill holes to secure it to the wall
* Good looking -- the wood frame and black bars blend into our decor (not an eyesore like those white baby-proofing fences)
* Ease-of-use -- installed in minutes, and easily folded to store when not needed

 This product cannot completely prevent pets from passing through. Nov 03, 2008
By Roger Carey
"This product cannot completely prevent pets from passing through." This is not only my opinion, but a quote directly from the instruction manual. My 20# dog pushed it out of his way in a short time. It was mounted on a tile floor.
I tried adjusting the length so the dog could not move it but as long as the dog had access to the sides, he could move it. The only way that I could contain my dog with this gate would be to anchor it to the woodwork.
Amazon and the manufacturer need to make this ("This product cannot completely prevent pets from passing through") known on the product description page BEFORE you order it.
