Munchkin® Easy Close XL™ Pressure Mounted Baby Gate for Stairs, Hallways and Doors - Walk Through Design with Auto-Close Door, 29.5" to 51.6" Adjustable Width, Durable Metal Construction in Bronze Finish - Perfect for Childproofing Staircases, Doorways and Openings in Homes with Toddlers

We have 3 staircases and bought 3 different kinds of baby gates. Sadly, the product description by Munchkin is wrong but the Amazon description was right...if this gate could have worked in all our staircases, we would have kept it. It's awesome. But alas, it was too wide for the servant stairs.We're tall (6 feet and over) and it's the perfect height and it's easy to open for us. It's sturdy--it definitely doesn't feel like it's going anywhere. I originally bought a few different gates because this didn't come in white. I could get over that after seeing other gates!We also purchased the First Steps gate that opens with a foot control. It's a piece of garbage. I wonder how long it will be before I throw it in the garbage. We've used left over optional cups from our Dreambaby gates to more secure it to the wall but we need two more. It's flimsy and it's cheap. I've knocked this down myself twice now. And it's at the base of our stairs and is NOT easy to operate a foot pedal either one step up at the bottom of the stairs or coming down with a fraction of stair depth to make the step and push.We purchased two Dreambaby gates--the two pack. For the price, it's a much better gate than the First Steps and luckily, they are narrow enough to fit in our servant staircase. But they don't compare to the ease, quality and sturdiness of this gate.The Munchkin name may not signal quality in toys (don't get me started about the star bath toy that Houdini would have to get batteries in that never worked from day 1 after we threw out the packaging assuming it was just the batteries. Now we can't return the batteries or the broken toy!) but don't hesitate in buying this gate. It's made the foray into a fortress of baby gates in our home much less painful.Now make the same gate narrower and I'll love you forever, Munchkin!
