We bought two different kinds of Gates for our living room area. We bought the Kidco Configure gate and the Kidco Elongate.
The elongate was to cover an area of 84". The elongate can only go straight across and opening. It's extension are screwed together and have an overlap. So the gate is not actually straight across. We are very disappointed in this purchase and wished we had bought two Configure gates. Took us some time to screw the extension in and then to screw the supports in and then to mark it on the wall. Took us over an hour.
The Configure gate is on the pricey side. We almost did not buy it. But it has two different size extension pieces and you can bend and configure it to the space you need. We use it at the bottom of our stairs and it bows out to give you an area so that the gate is not up against the stairs.
It was so easy to add the extension piece on. You just snap out the pole and add the extension piece. You can bend the gate different ways to fit in the opening.
To Mount on the wall you just mark the screw holes and screw in the plate then snap the gate on. It was mounted on the wall in less then 20 minutes. It was very sturdy.
I highly recommend this gate.

I have this gate set up in two different parts of my house... one part as-is, and one part with two extensions. The gate that that has no extensions is very durable, and easy to open, however there is a bar that goes across the bottom of the "door", and myself and my guests are always bumping bare toes on it...ouch!
In the other part of my house, I have this gate with two extensions. It's such a LONG gate, that there is no stability... the whole thing kind of sways, and my toddler finally was able to pull it out of the wall. There aren't many gates out there that will let you cover such a wide room, though, and for that it was nice while it lasted.

We knew we needed a REALLY STURDY gate when I found out I was pregnant with our second child. I found this one here online and after reading the other reviews I knew we had to have it. We have an english bull terrier and a pit bull terrier who both are very strong dogs and have either busted down or chewed up other gates we have had in the past. So far this gate is still standing and hasn't been chewed up. We love it!! Highly recommended!! Very Sturdy!

This product is expensive but the gate is very sturdy and the flexibility is helpful in creating custom shapes suited to differnt parts of the house. Pretty easy to assemble....

This gate is great if you want to section off a large opening or area. We have triplets and they have been kept out of harms way for quite a while with this gate.
They are 17 mos. now and one of my daughters has figured out how to open the gate. I don't know how she has the strength but she has watched us open and close the gate enough to try it herself. Well, she figured it out and now I have to try and figure out a secondary way to keep the gate closed.
There should be some other type of lock that can be used in addition to the pressure lock that it comes with.
All in all, if your kids don't learn to open the gate - it is very good.
