not functional Date: December 26, 2008
"contrary to what the other reviewers think, i think this gate is actually sturdy. the problem is that it doesn't mount properly no matter how many times my husband and i have tried to rig it. and my 10 lb maltese can easily jump it. i'm returning it to buy a taller gate."

Do NOT buy Date: October 20, 2008
"This gate is the cheapest for a reason....do NOT buy. It's really hard to use and does not fit right....I have a 10 week old puppy who can easily knock it down. I'm bringing it back to Petco after I submit this review!"

DO NOT BUY Date: July 31, 2008
"I bought this for my 10 lb pup and she just tapped it and fell over. It's not sturdy and doesn't lock into place very well. I thought I wasn't adjusting it right but my boyfriend who is an engineer tried it and he also agreed this product was very poorly made."

It's GARBAGE!!! Date: January 29, 2008
"I just bought this gate Saturday for my 7 month old German Shepard puppy and it's Tuesday and she's able to scale it and jump over with NO problem...this totally defeats the purpose of buying the gate! I'm exchanging this TONIGHT for a bigger and better gate. It was also a pain to setup...I mean a real pain!"

Worst Purchase This Year Date: December 27, 2007
"This product isn't not worth the price. It is difficult to adjust and it doesn't lock into place. My 2.5 lb Bichon Frise pup has figured out a way to knock it over."

Our first gate Date: November 29, 2007
"My puppy: 5.5 month Rat Terrier and about 7 lbs. The first time she was left alone on the other side it took her 30 minutes or so to get past it. It was exactly as I had left it. Smart dog. So now I've raised it about 2 inches off the ground so she can't get under it and she hasn't gotten past it again. I hope that it holds up. The next gate I get I'll be sure is only vertical bars and tall with a swinging door."

Top Notch Gate Date: August 28, 2007
"This gate is awesome! It works great is and is definelty worth the money. Anyone who needs an easily removeable gate or temporary containment doorway gate, this is the product to buy. I have used cheap wood gates in the past. I think this is a much better value, and will last longer than the wood gates."

I'm taking it back today Date: June 2, 2007
"This product isn't even worth the sale price. It is hard to adjust to the door, and it doesn't lock into place. I read the directions from first word to last word...my 5 pound pup can still knock it over. Sometimes all you have to do is breathe on it and it will fall over."

Piece of Junk Date: October 18, 2006
"Got the gate and it won't even suction to my walls. If you're looking for a gate that actually stands up in your doorway, buy something else. This item does not stay up and do the job it's built to do. This product is a waste of money."

North States Top-Notch Pet Gate Review Date: December 11, 2005
"I have used this gate for about a month now and it's a good gate. I like this one better than the wood ones because it seems sturdier. The wood adjustments tend to break or crack when you are moving it around a lot, but this plastic one is tougher and it has a sliding lock piece that is good as well."
