"The first description listed it as: "Beautiful Varnished Wood" -- hardly so, it was sanded wood but not varnished. "Mounts easily in doorways, hallways, or larger openings as a barrier for your pet." -- Once again, not really. The gate has these two pinching mechanisms that are not as easy to open as it might be suggested, not convenient for my elderly grandmother to open or remove. Also the gate is not as structurally solid. I understand that the gate is large and there will be some movement or giggle- but the gates own securing mechanisms that allow it to slide are also at fault for making it not sturdy. The Image also appears misleading; as it is not a large enough picture to view it is too tiny to really decipher the quality of the product."
