My wife and I bought this gate recently and are very pleased with the look and build quality. Functionally it seems to work fine, it was quick and easy to assemble, and simple enough to use. Unfortunately, the only drawback is that the walk-through opening is only 18" wide doable, but considering a 30-32" average doorway you've lost well over a third of the width for walking through. This seems to be fairly common with these gates (though that dimension is hardly ever mentioned on the box or description) and I'm sure there is some structural engineering reason why it's the case, but it's simply not comfortable to walk through. This is especially true if it has to be raised slightly off the floor as it would have to be where we wanted it, because you have to step over, and a bit sideways. Doable, but not comfortable. With a little extra engineering, it seems that the walk-through section itself could have been expandable, not just the overall width.

After an endless search for an EXTRA WIDE/TALL gate, a friend sent this link. Our lab puppy is growing by leaps and bounds and is already close to 25 lbs at 4 months old! We needed something sturdy and high enough that she would not be able to scale. Also, finding a gate to fit a 46' opening between rooms was a challenge. This gate is perfect in everyway! She has slammed into it numerous times and it hasn't budged. Additionally, there is NO damage to the 4 spots on the wall where the gate is secured. Installation was a breeze and it looks beautiful. One last thing, I know a few reviewers have commented on the 18' gate door opening. My husband, who is a larger man, moves through it without any difficulty. Overall, we are completely satisfied with our purchase.

We bought this gate after our old one broke and I really wanted a walk through gate because it is used between the kitchen and living room so we are going back and forth quite a bit with our twins so we spent a little more and bought this one. The height is nice and tall and the metal is quite sturdy and attractive. It is pretty easy to install and you can choose to use tension mounting or secure it with screws. It also comes with 2 extensions for larger doorways. The opening mechanism isn't hard to use and because of the swing gate we can leave it installed and don't have to take it down anytime we need to get in and out (ie. bringing in groceries). This would also be a very nice gate to use with pets if you want to keep them out of a frequently used area or in our case two fat cats. Great gate and worth the money.

Honest reviews on The First Years Extra Tall Decor Gate

This gate is by far the most attactive and functional gate I have ever owned. It is easy to use and very sturdy. The installation is a little tricky; however, if you follow the directions, it is not that difficult. I would order another one of these gates without hesitation.

My husband and I have two dogs (one still a puppy although she is a Newfie and weights 80 pounds!) and we use these gates to keep them out of certain areas when we are not home.

We bought our first one at Target. When we needed a second gate, Target no longer carried the same color gate, so we ordered from Amazon.

The gates look nice and doesn't detract from our house like the white plastic ones. The gate doors are easy to open and walk through. Our only issue is the bottom of the gate tends to loosen itself this could be due to the fact our gates are in 46" doorways, we use all the extensions, and our doorways are fluted moulding so the surface for the tensions is not flat. That being said, the gates have never slipped out of position, even when the 80 pound puppy has laid against it.

We are very happy with the gates and would recommend the gate.
