Great Looking Gate! This is the Taller version.
Pros:
-- Great looking gate compliments our hardwoods much more so than a white plastic gate (ugh).
-- The HL and HS are almost 8" taller than the other Richell gates. The extra height is definitely needed if your dog(s) is larger than a tea-cup breed. The Freestanding design is fairly sturdy although I would be concerned if it could really hold up against very large dogs.
Cons:
-- Definitely expensive. But worth it if looks are important and you forsee using it for a long period of time.
-- The gate folds nice and slim - but the freestanding legs stick out from the unit making it wider than I had hoped. But still easy to carry.
-- Not easy to adjust the width on the fly because there are four screws that secure the two pieces of gate together.
-- I would suggest coating the unit with a coat or two of polyurethane so that your dogs will not scratch the finish on top with their nails if they jump up or "hang" over the top of the gate.
Excellent for baby-proofing, too!
After looking at many different products, I purchased this gate to prevent our toddler from getting into the fireplace. It's the perfect solution for our needs!
Things I like about it:
* Adjustable size -- allowed us to fit it perfectly around the fireplace
* Stable -- the legs are sturdy and large enough so it won't tip over, even when the baby pulls herself up on it
* Freestanding -- didn't require us to drill holes to secure it to the wall
* Good looking -- the wood frame and black bars blend into our decor (not an eyesore like those white baby-proofing fences)
* Ease-of-use -- installed in minutes, and easily folded to store when not needed
Nice Product but. . .
This is a beautiful gate and does what we need to corral the Basset Hounds but for the price - couldn't they have made a latch or quick release of some sort?! We put it up over night and while we're at work but in the evening I have to use a screwdriver to let us all in the TV room!
