looks beautiful, matches my stairs, adjustable and my teens sons can step over it ....safely. (they cannot take the time to open a gate)
Because it's so adjustable, I can put it snugly in place and my yorkies cannot paw at it until they've moved it.
Wish I had gotten it sooner. Looks like it was custom made.

I love this gate! it's soo beautiful and it's solid with high quality. We use to use 12" closet shelving with the lip on the floor so it would stand at the entrances by itself, altho closet shelving was cleaner looking then the taller dog gates from other companies it was still not as pretty as Richell gates. My dogs are trained not to jump anything in doorways, rather it be 5" tall or 20". We only like step over gates. It's so much more easier and cleaner looking. Richell gate are beautiful.

We wanted to confine our pets to one half of our living room without having to make our home seem disjointed and this product does the trick!
No more tripping over baby gates that are too high or having to deal with unsightly metal pens... it was a bit pricey, but well worth the money - in my opinion.
We're actually contemplating on getting a second one, we love it so much.

This pet gate is a little pricey but worth every penny! I have 4 adult westies and was skeptical about getting a freestanding design because I thought they would knock it over. I was also concerned with the "step-over" height of the gate being one that they could just jump over. All of these concerns vanished as soon as I received this beautifully designed wood and metal gate by Richell. It is very attractive and very sturdy in design and materials! It does not detract from the home/furniture and fits in beautifully. The black metal rungs virtually disappear and don't stand out like the light plastic built-in child gate I had for them prior to getting this beautiful gate. They are unable to knock it over and cannot jump over...it's perfect! I highly recommend this Richell Gate and it's well worth the money!

I have nothing negative to say about this gate! It looks beautiful and was easy to assemble. It's short enough for me to easily step over, but even my big dogs (Shepard/husky mix) won't jump it. A great buy for the price!

Excellent gate for keeping little ones where you want them. The gate is very attractive heavy oak and easy to step over. The 70 inches long was just what we needed. Buy with confidence.

We ended up purchasing four of these gates...2 small and 2 large. They look great in our house which is very important to us. And they block the room access perfectly! They are made well and easy to assemble too!

I love this pet gate. It's attractive and sturdy and keeps my yorkie puppies from wandering into areas of the house that I'm not ready for them to be in as they're not fully housetrained yet. I use it for an opening that is 60" wide and it fits perfectly. In spite of the puppies jumping on it, it doesn't move at all. It's easy to walk over and is much more attractive than the plain white baby gates. I would definitely buy this again.

This gate is so versatile and fit a large space that we were having a hard time finding something for and that didn't need to attach on the sides because we have a bannister on the opposite side. It also looks nice since it is more than just a temporary fix. It was well worth it, and the price was reasonable compared to all the other gates we looked at.

My husband was tired of the walls losing paint with the other 'pressure' babygates. This gate is ideal and doesn't damage the walls AND it looks really good!

The design is very nice. I like that the bars are made of metal, so the fence does not look heavy in design; It actually is very stylish and steady. I ended up buying 3 more: 2 long and 2 short in total.

Puppy proofer for wide open entries

We're acquiring a pup shortly and needed something to block off the family room - which will be the puppy room - from the rest of the house. Entry is 6 feet wide, beyond the width of other gates. Could have done a DITY with a piece of plywood but this is much better. Looks great, fits great, won't wreck the floor or carpeting, is sturdy, and easy to step over or move aside. Assembly was a snap and looks like break-down will be easy as well. My other dogs don't think much of it, though.

We recently acquired an English bulldog puppy. She annoys our older dog, so the gate was necessary to keep her from pouncing on him nonstop! The gate is sturdy and the wire inset is great (she chewed up the plastic mesh on a baby gate). She may eventually be heavy enough she will be able to push the gate around, but for now it is an excellent way to let her get acquainted with our other dog safely. A great investment - I am very pleased.

I have several gates to keep small dogs out of living and dining rooms. These gates are sturdy, and look nice, They are heavy enough that the little ones cannot push them out of the way and the free-standing design means they do not need to be attached to anything and can be moved.

The quality of this gate is great, BUT they don't tell you that once it is assembled, it can't be collapsed into a smaller version for storage. Only planned to have it in place occasionally and no place to store it out of the way. Sorry had to send back, and now the other one I liked is no longer on sale.
