"After purchasing three of these gates, I can confidently say I love them! They are sturdy and when locked, they definitely keep my strong dog contained. The high version prevents any jumping over, and the ease of assembly is a huge plus!"

"I bought two of these gates; one at full price and another on sale. They are well-designed and easy to install, even though I had to make a few adjustments. I appreciate the versatility of being able to move them around and the fact that they don’t harm my walls. Overall, I highly recommend this gate!"

"This gate is a lifesaver for my five dogs! Getting in and out without them escaping was a hassle. Now, I can easily keep them confined while cooking, and cleaning it is a breeze. The installation took less than five minutes, and it's so sturdy! I can't recommend it enough!"

"I bought this gate to keep my dog out of the kitchen and away from the trash. At 4'11", the ability to open it both ways is fantastic. For just $30, it looks great and was very easy to set up. I’m confident it will last us a long time!"

"The quality of this gate is impressive. It fits perfectly in the space I needed it for, keeping my dogs contained. The installation was simple, and I didn't have any difficulties. It's a solid product at a great price!"

"I found this gate super easy to use. Once I set it up, it worked absolutely great. Just ensure you use the provided pieces to keep it from slipping off the wall. It’s the perfect size if you measure the space correctly. It’s super sturdy; even my strong boy couldn’t pull it off. I wish it came in more colors, though, as I’m not a fan of the cream."

"This gate is a big improvement over the previous one we got from a big box store. The locking mechanism is larger and easier to operate. The pale beige color looks nice and is less commercial than white. We don’t need a high-security gate for our 7 lb Maltese, but it works perfectly for what we need."

"I bought this gate for my two border collie pups. It’s very durable and well-made. The handle locks into place once it's set in the doorway. I love it, but it’s a bit low; my pups managed to jump over it in just a few weeks. Nevertheless, it was a great first gate for us."

“I recently purchased this gate for my grandson, and it does exactly what it's supposed to do. Sturdy, secure, and easy to lock and unlock, it’s also much less expensive than other models. I'm very satisfied with this purchase.”

“This baby gate exceeded my expectations! Affordable and well-made, I found it incredibly easy to understand and install. The pressure-mounted design means no drilling or damage to my walls, and it feels very sturdy. The only minor downside is the bottom bar, which can be a bit awkward to step over, but it's a small trade-off for such a reliable gate.”

“I love how easy it was to install this gate without any tools. It’s sturdy enough to block my rambunctious puppy from getting into the kitchen, and I was able to open it easily with one hand. I was so satisfied that I just bought another one!”

"The Cumbor Baby Gate has been a game-changer for my home! I needed a way to keep my baby safe from the stairs and limit my dog's access to certain areas. This gate has exceeded my expectations. The auto-close feature is fantastic; it securely shuts behind me, ensuring the gate is always locked. Installation was super easy since it's pressure-mounted, and I had it set up in just a few minutes!"

"I have to say, this is the best child gate I've ever purchased! It features a brace on the floor that makes it very sturdy. The gate automatically swings shut unless opened all the way on one side, and its height is just right. I'm very pleased with this product as I needed it to keep inquisitive three-year-olds out of my personal space."

"We decided to buy this gate after getting a new puppy, and I'm so glad we did! My husband installed it quickly at the bottom of the stairs, and it fits perfectly. The Y pressure mount was a huge plus for us, and it doesn't budge at all. I love the one-hand operation to open it, and the automatic close feature is a lifesaver since some family members forget to close doors. I'm beyond satisfied with our choice of the Cumbor gate!"

"I wouldn't suggest this gate for frequent use since it feels flimsy, but it's definitely a good value if stationary."

"I appreciate that this gate looks nicer than standard options. My 18-month-old tried to climb it but has since given up. It's very sturdy when notched down, and I'd absolutely buy it again!"

"I found this gate visually appealing, but it's not the sturdiest. It often loses its length setting when moved, and it's quite short for toddlers. It works for my small chihuahua, but I wouldn't rely on it for larger pets."

"I received it a week early and I absolutely love it! I was worried about the size compared to the pictures, but it is just as shown. It’s perfect for my small dog, giving her plenty of room to move around. I wouldn’t recommend it for larger dogs that jump, though, as the material might not hold up. Overall, it’s exactly what I needed and I would definitely recommend it."

"This barrier was a lifesaver during weekends with my grandson! It also kept my dog out of areas I wanted to protect. The quality is impressive, and while folding it requires a bit more strength than I anticipated, it shows just how secure it is. I appreciate the thoughtful design!"

"I bought this to keep my 15-pound Jack Russell mix in the same room while keeping him away from certain parts. Setting it up and putting it away is quite easy since it folds. It’s very sturdy and tall enough to prevent my dog from jumping over. The initial folding might be a bit tricky, but it’s not too hard. I would highly recommend this for dogs of similar size!"

"I love this gate. It's easy to tighten to the wall and hasn't left any damage. It keeps my baby safe from falling down the stairs. Very functional and sturdy... I'm very pleased with this purchase."

"The Regalo Easy Fit Plastic Adjustable Extra Wide Baby Gate is an excellent choice for anyone looking to keep their little one safe and secure. The adjustable width makes it easy to fit in various doorways, and the sturdy plastic construction ensures durability. I love how simple it is to install, and it's very easy to use—just a simple latch opens and closes the gate with minimal effort. This gate is a must-have for anyone looking for a reliable, easy-to-install, and space-saving option. Highly recommend!"

"I use this to block an area my dog isn't allowed. It stands up to his weight when he puts his paws on the gate trying to pull it down. It's been working great and seems durable as well. The lock is definitely a new thing for me, but once you get the hang of it, it's very straightforward."

"I purchased two of these gates for my Yorkie during potty training. After extensive searching, I found this gate had the widest opening among pressure-mounted options. It fits perfectly in my 36-inch wide hallway and is incredibly sturdy. I love that it auto-closes and is easy to open with one hand. My 7-year-old can manage it, but it may be tough for toddlers. Overall, I'm thrilled with its performance!"

"The Cumbor Retractable Baby Gate has been a game-changer for us! Its 34-inch height provides a secure barrier for our kids and pets. The retractable design allows for easy access, and installation was a breeze with no drilling needed. It fits a variety of openings, making it perfect for our home. I'm confident in its durability and functionality!"

"This gate is perfect for keeping my toddler safe in the living room and my dog out during meals. It's sturdy and the right height for both. I appreciate how easy it is to retract and expand, and it blends well with our decor. It’s definitely better than permanent gates!"

"I liked it so much that I bought two more to replace our other gates. Installation was easy, and I appreciate the threshold under the gate which prevents tripping. The pressure fit option is also a great feature. This gate is solid and holds the line against my dogs."

"Out of the box, I installed it in about 15 minutes without reading the instructions. It's sturdy and keeps my dog out of the living room. The door is a bit challenging for my dog to open, but it's quick for me."

"This gate is perfect for our needs. I used both screws and adhesive cups for installation, and the latching mechanism feels reliable. My only suggestion would be to improve the auto-close feature, as it can slam a bit."
