My video shows why I am returning this product. I couldn't record the product in actual use because I never got that far, it broke before I even got it out of the box. It didn't match our wood color either, I may go with the cherry version though. Hope this helps.

Pros:
-Solid wood
-Fairly sturdy design

Cons:
-The foot spacer is a tripping hazard
-The wall support bars may damage wall board
-The wall supports need to be tightened often

Although I have more cons than pros listed, I would still purchase this item as a pet gate. I do not think it is sturdy enough to be a child proof gate on stairs.
