I have used the Large, Wood Freestanding Pet Gate for about a month and it works great for keeping my two mini-dachshunds in the kitchen or other areas. I got the wide one to accommodate a 71-inch opening between living areas. The low height allows us to easily step over, and, visually, does not 'overpower' the room. The padded base extensions keep the gate stable. The gate assembles quickly, but once the frame is attached you have to remove and reinsert the screws to change the width. I also like how light it is to pick up and move around. Overall, the gate is well made and and the dark finish looks good, too. I would recommend for small dogs.
