Pet Store Wooden Paw Decor Pet Gate (Black)

I really like this gate. It is freestanding so there is an inherent unsturdiness that comes with that, but as compared to any other freestanding gate I find this to be perfectly fine if placed properly. I have bigger dogs and this gate is VERY short, however my dogs pretty much won't cross a piece of string if it is being used as a barrier so this was perfect for us. Short enough to step over and not have to open and close all the time, but an attractive reminder to the dogs not to come into the laundry room (someone loves to eat socks) or my office (no thank you, I don't want your dog hair all over my technology). I think they are very attractive and the color looks great with my black/brown furnature from IKEA.

I really like this gate - especially for about $35 - the quality seems good; mine came packaged well and not damaged at all. It certainly won't keep a dog in/out if he jumps or pushes it, but it is a good barrier that works for my two Westies to keep them in or out of a room - good to set up on stairs too. The only complaint would be the hinges seem a bit rickety or thin - but that's an easy fix if/when they break to just replace with nicer quality hinges. Shipping 2-day Prime right on time.

This gate came in a box inside the box used for delivery and it was in a protective wrap with protection on 3 of the 4 corners. There was no damage to the gate when I received it and I was pleased when I opened & saw the gate. It really is very cute. I measured it and it is true to the specifications listed in the description. It is exactly 19 inches tall and 4 feet long. The 'center piece' of the gate is 2 feet and the 'folding side pieces' of the gate are each 1 foot long. As such, the gate folds to 2 feet long for storage. It is also black as described. I have posted pics that show the packaging, how I store the gate, and how I use the gate when restricting my dog to the kitchen. *Edit: 12/21/13, I'm no longer seeing my customer images here and now another customer has posted about how the Collie pictured was misleading! I agree that the image with the Collie could make the gate look taller than it is. I'm not sure why my images aren't here anymore, but they can still be viewed at my profile. If you aren't sure about the size, my pics show my small dog next to it. He's a Lhasa Apso.The gate I received is not completely flush with the ground all the way across when the sides are extended all the way out. This causes no problem at all for me - it just means that one side will swing a bit when pushed while extended. Also, it will not stand up on its own with the sides completely extended. However, that is to be expected as it has no feet. The sides must be folded a bit as you can see in the pics for it to stand on its own.It is a bit heavier than I thought it would be from the other reviews. It is not going to fall over because my dog bumps into it, but it seems that it will fall pretty easily if a dog is trying to knock it over. My dog will not attempt to move an obstacle or jump over a gate (at least not while I am home) so this is not a problem for me. Also, it is formidable enough that he won't start now. He made no moves to try to escape and looked at the new gate as if he understood that it was, indeed, the new gate.Overall, I am happy with this gate because it serves its purpose, stores nicely, and is very cute in my apartment. If you have a dog who will seek to escape or who is tall at all, this probably is not the gate for you. If, like me, you have a dog who is short and not very athletic - you likely could have a good experience as I did. I use the gate to separate my dogs while they eat. If I needed something to really keep them restricted if I left the house, I don't think I would use this gate for that purpose.

I bought one of these 3 years ago and I loved it! It was just what I needed to keep my pupper from roaming. Nice sturdy and it looked great. Plus, you can move it anywhere you need it. I still have it and it's great! I got a new pupper and needed another one and figured I would get another one that was the same because it was a great gate. I bought the same one. Same style. Same size. I didn't open it right away but when I did it looked the same with nothing wrong. I started using it and within 3 weeks it fell apart. I mean, crash in the other room fell apart. All 4 hinge pins broke. My 2 small dogs are well trained and don't jump on these or knock them down. They run to them and look and bark through them. My other gate is fine after all this time. Real sturdy and going strong. I have been running back and forth with the broken pins to the local hardware store to try to get ones to fit but after 3 times I quit. I don't have the time to keep running back. I do have 3 nice pieces of wood with dog prints on them that look nice. Sorry for the long life story but I am very disappointed and I don't have the strength or the effort to load this up and package it to send it back. I just wish I would have had some salad dressing to go with the $40 I just ate. It might have gone down a little easier. Hope this helped some one.

Works perfect for my 2 big breed dogs, 1 a 65# Pitbull mix other a 8 to now 25 week old Pitbull puppy. I prefer this in my area where guests come it doesn't cause damage to my walls, we can block off area into kitchen AND step over it. That was important to us.Stylish designHas fallen not from dogs but us and hadn't caused damage to my wood floorI like how it fold up easy to put off to side when not in useMy dogs won't push or touch it - if you have an insistent dog or not trained they will push this down. Not meant for young children. They could get hurt or fingers caught in sides, we don't have children under 10 here so it's perfect for usShips on time and as expectedNo damageSturdy and no having to put togetherComes right out of box and to useFolds up off to side when I don't need it
