Summary: 4 Stars

My husband and I purchased one of these First Years decor gates recently for two reasons: 1) we're having a baby in May, gotta get going on this stuff sometime, and 2) we were babysitting my 1-year-old nephew this weekend. Like most little boys, he doesn't just walk, he runs, and he can and does get into everything. We placed this gate at the top of our basement stairs to keep him safely on the first floor and it worked perfectly.
It was easy to install with its pressure mounting, and it comes with hardware to actually mount it to the door frame, so it's nice to have that option for the future. I'd like to get another for the 2nd floor stairwell too, but we have wrought iron banisters that I'm not sure it'll mount to very easily, so I'll have to find some kind of way to adapt it there safely. That wrought iron issue is the only reason I'm giving this four stars instead of five.
As the previous reviewer stated, it also serves as a great dog gate. My 2 cats were able to jump over it (but not slip through it), while my 35-lb. pooch and my brother's 70-lb. behemoth sat on the other side and whined.
The door isn't easy to open if you don't know how it works, which is great, because if it was too easy, my nephew would have wasted no time exploiting its weakness. You do have to make sure it latches behind you, but I didn't know it was self latching in the first place, so I don't really mind closing the door behind myself (as my mom would say, I wasn't raised in a barn...). I don't like to step over it, but it's not totally impossible (I'm also 5'6" but I do have long legs for my size).
What's most important to me is that it's proved to be quite safe AND it still looks good. Seems sad that so many of these baby gates are bulky and blerg and bright white. Just because I'm having a baby doesn't mean I want to give up my hopes at having a chic vintage house :)
