We got it around Christms. Used it for the Christmas tree (at the time, children ages 5, 3, and 10 month old twins). Since then, we leave it in the den (collapsed, according style) and move it to wherever is needed (like the huge opening between our den and kitchen that no other affordable child gate can cover).
What I don't like:
-It feels like I'm forcing the joints to open/close to adjust.
-With little movement it held up fine, but it now has a crack in it near one of the hinges(probably due to opening and closing it too quickly once?).
-It's a little difficult to connect the ends together.
-Moves when pushed (even by a scrawny 10 month old) unless ends are anchored in corners of something.
What I do like:
-Enough room: My friends and I had four 12 month olds in it at the park the other day with toys and snacks.
-Good for outside. Good for large/oddly shaped openings.
I recommend it for:
light use (not put up and taken down a lot) and outdoor places.
Might recommend it for:
heavy use (up and down a lot - like we do). It's 'good enough', but expect some wear and 'tear' (and then watch little fingers if it does)!
I would NOT recommend it for:
destructive children or strong children (or pets), this is NOT the gate for you! Too easy to move or crack.

I got a new puppy. A Shorkie - 1/2 Shih Tzu and 1/2 Yorkshire Terrier. This pen works great for containing her indoors and outdoors as well as keeping her from rooms we don't want her to be able to access. The only complaint I have is that it is more difficult to open up than the metal kind. But it is much better looking and I'm sure more stable.

We just got a new puppy Chihuahua and he loves it! We keep it in our kitchen for when we can't watch him or have to leave the house. It's big enough for us to keep his crate, bed, puppy pad and toys for when we're not home and still has prenty of room for him to play. We don't have to worry about him tearing up the house. It's pretty easy to open and close once you get used to how it works. Would definitely recommend.

Great to create playpen- but I recommend getting the extensions at the same time you buy the gate, otherwise, it's too small. Make sure to make the angles, otherwise, it is not steady. I also recommend putting the interlocking pads under this gate.

We originally bought this gate to protect our Christmas tree from our little one... but ended up using it as a floating gate around our entertainment center- we love it! Everyone that comes over thinks its such a clever gate to use to keep the kiddos from constantly turning on and off the tv....
