Let me simply start off by saying that I wanted the best of the best when it came time to buy our first baby gate for our son, and so, I did the research! After reading numerous reviews on the pros and cons of what felt like hundreds of baby gates I finally settled on my top five! My idea was to buy them all, inspect in person the quality and safety of each gate and then make my decision accordingly. The top 5 options were: 1. Regalo Easy Step Arched Décor Walk Thru Baby Gate (this one!) 2. Summer Infant Multi-Use Decorative Extra Tall Walk-Thru Gate 3. Regalo Easy-Open Wide Baby Gate 4. Evenflo Soft and Wide Gate 5. Regalo Super Wide Adjustable Gate and Play Yard I wanted to make sure to take multiple things into account such as security, safety, various wall attachments and extensions (if any), pressure mounted baby gates versus free standing, the ability for my little one to see me, the ease and functionality of the gate and the ability for it to work safely and securely with my staircase. I did decide to get a longer baby gate to get a wide variety of options as well! Overall, my experience can tell you that this is definitely one of my favorite baby gates, hands down - so if you want to ignore the rest, go ahead and do so and just buy this gate already!! If not, keep reading :). (Each baby gate has its own blurb so you can always skip the rest and just read that too!) The Summer Infant Multi-Use Decorative Extra Tall Walk-Thru Gate was very pretty in person, a lovely bronze color and had a beautiful arch. It installs easy, comes with all necessary pieces to pressure mount or screw it in to your wall etc. This baby gate felt very safe initially. Only downfall, the mechanism at the bottom that prevents the baby gate from swinging in the wrong direction broke off easily and not long after purchasing it! Also, my roommates felt it was one of the most difficult to open and because of the tension from what I can only assume is a self closing feature, it seemed somewhat dangerous when it quickly swung back at us with intense pressure! After using this one for months I would definitely say it was my least favorite and came in the #5 spot. The Regalo Easy-Open Wide Baby Gate was a solid, sturdy and well built baby gate that again came with every imaginable piece to safely install it depending on your needs. I felt as though it lasted a decently long time before the handle mechanism broke - even after this is still worked just with it's quirks. This was a simple white baby gate and did a great job but I'd rate it #4. The Evenflo Soft and Wide Gate in Emery was the perfect median of all of the baby gates. It adjusts to fit a large variety of spaces easily and felt impressively secure considering this bonus feature. (Most baby gates are not wide enough for certain doorways hence the extender bars which can sometimes make them too wide so this was an awesome choice for fitting those pain in the butt spaces!) I really enjoyed that my son could see me through this gate and I ended up using it to separate his play area from our living room. This one gets my #3 rating! The Regalo Super Wide Adjustable Gate and Play Yard is simply a beast of a baby gate. This thing is awesome!!! It self stands and can be configured in so many ways and is so sturdy and secure. I could go on and on - I LOVE this baby gate. We ended up using this baby gate to keep our little dude away from the fire place. Literally not one negative about it - but keep in mind, my search for a baby gate was for the top of the staircase, which is why this one came in the #2 spot! The Regalo Easy Step Arched Décor Walk Thru Baby Gate (this one!) trumped all and came in first place for me! (Although I did enjoy various features of the other gates for different purposes!) This gate is extremely well made, so sturdy and safe, connected beautifully to my wall and provided my little guy with the safest option for the tip of our stairs! My husband couldn't push this thing down if he tried! It's THAT secure. (That being said we did purchase stair rail adapters that worked the absolute best with this gate! Also highly recommend!) This gate is both functional, easy to use, absolutely beautiful and has withstood the test of a now 2 and 4 year old in addition to multiple roommates when others continued to break. This thing is awesome - stop your research and just buy it!!!

I have had dogs for years and my wife owned a groom shop so I have experience with trying to keep dogs in or out. This gate does the job. It was very easy to assemble and install (but keep in mind that I have dealt with pet gates for years). Based on how its constructed, its pretty much fool proof when putting it inside the door frame. It has a "stopper" tab on both sides of the gate so you can install it to swing in either direction which I thought was pretty smart. If I could give it a 4 1/2 stars, thats probably where it truly ranks for me because of 2 things. The handle/locking mechanism is a bit wonky. "Unlocking" the gate using the top handle mechanism takes some dexterity and concentration. There are two different things that have to be done at the same time to get the gate lock to open - one is like a trigger on the underside of the handle and the other is a sliding piece on the top. It doesnt take two hands to open, but it isnt all that easy with just one hand if you are not in the right position - its just weird and a bit of a pain. The second thing is the height. I bought the 36 inch gate which is what I needed, but that puts the gate almost exactly at the height of the door handle. The door still closes but I have to somewhat work it closed to get the handle to clear the gate and then work it back to open the door. If door handles are all at a standard height in homes, this could be an issue for some if they want to close the door. Overall, I do love the gate, its exactly what I needed. It looks great, its sturdy, and even better, the dog can now see down the hallway. I feel that it safely closes and secures so he doesnt have the run of the house if I'm gone. For the price, I havent found anything better and highly recommend!

Gate is pretty good, only issue I have is always having to bend down to drop or lift the locking pins on the bottom when opening/closing the gate. Otherwise, looks great and quite sturdy.

This gate feels of great quality and was pretty easy to install. I am using it outside (which I know it’s not intended for outdoor use) and so far it has held without any issues. It has a little tab that you can move to make the gate open inward or outward or make it swing freely so It will work regardless of your needs. The lock is pretty good and easy to open. It comes with rubber to protect the wall and also helps with grip. This was pretty easy to set up and it looks great. I was able to install it inside in a regular sized door without any issues. It has some extra parts that are needed to extend the width. Overall it’s pretty easy to adjust and set up.

I really can't find anything to detract from the quality, function and appearance of these gates. We have 3 English Mastiffs and prior to this purchase we have been using the traditional lattice style wooden gates to control their access in the house. The lattice style gates were effective, as our dogs do not lean on or push against the gates. They were however, not very attractive and passing through meant completely removing the gate and then replacing it. These gates allow us to pass through much quicker and don't require coordination of movement if more than one person is moving through. They feel very sturdy in place (even without the including mounting cups) and latching has a positive solid feel as well. I could not find any defects in construction and installation was simple, straightforward and done in under 5 minutes. The top latch is much improved over the other Regalo model (a vertical latch with a locking mechanism) in appearance and function and feels solid when installed. I am confident these gates will withstand the pressure of a small child pushing against them with one caveat. Be sure to install the gate with the stop (located at the bottom of the gate) facing towards the room in which you wish to contain your child or pet. This provides 2 points of contact to distribute the weight. Aesthetically they are really quite attractive and fit our decor quite well and while they are temporary and removable I find it unlikely we will remove them as long as we have pets and company. OK... Almost 2 months of use. Still very happy. Very solid and much easier access than the removable lattice style. So... Now the puppies DO push against the gate and at 120 pounds they can dislodge it (especially the top, which is NOT defective, you just need to tighten the screws until the latch makes contact) so I added the mountable cups which increases stability 100%. I always appreciate reviews that are written after some use rather than after opening the box, so I made it a point to add this note. If you do not see an update that means I am still happy with this product. So, I will update anyways... six years later and still the very best gate I have ever seen. Attractive and durable. These gates are essentially as solid as the day they arrived and the Mastiffs are still on the side they're supposed to be on.

We have these all over the house. It was tricky to find a gate that would extend to large opening and look sleek. These are strong and easy to use.

I bought two. The first one went in easily and adjusted right up. The second one (built 4 months earlier according to the tag) had different colored hardware, and when adjusted the same as the first, did not latch as easily, presumably a different spring in the latch. And it took a good 10 minutes each with a heat gun and Goof Gone to remove the stickers.
