Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

This is an absolutely lovely gate. However, it is advertised as fitting openings up to 72". My space is exactly 72". When we received the gate, the box says 72". When you open the box and look at the instructions, it says 71.3". That is not 72". We tried to install it anyway, hoping that the instructions might be misprinted, but nope ... it is just a smidge TOO SHORT. I am not happy b/c this will be a pain to ship back. I contacted the manufacturer to see if they have a solution, and if I am happy with the result I will amend my review. We still need a gate, so we are considering getting a piece of wood to make our opening smaller, but this would be a major project (for us) and adds something unattractive. I didn't spend money on a really nice gate to have it look crappy b/c I had to add something to my WALL.
