Author's Review
I was really happy to have found this gate. All the other gates that I had looked at gave me the feeling like I was imprisoning my kid. And quite honesty I always felt like the bar-style gates look tacky and cheap. I wanted something that I wouldn't mind having up for a while. The clear panels are nice to be able to see my daughter, but let's be honest, the clear panels are also a lot nicer to look at. They blend in with the walls a lot better too. Plus since they're smooth panels it makes it nearly impossible for kids to climb on. I have 2 dogs as well, and the clear panels make it easier for me to see whether it's a kid or a dog wanting my attention. Overall, the solid panels contain better.
The lock mechanism is great, and is easy from either direction. The fact that it's a 2-step process (hold the button in and then raise the lever) is a nice added feature of childproofing.
The panels are easy to adjust, but the only downside I could find in this product is that the panels don't separate completely from one another, so hair, dust, toys, whatever you wish, gets stuck in the small amount of panel that overlaps the other even at the most open point.
Otherwise, this is still the best gate I've found, and I highly recommend it.
