Very good but not as listed,
June 11, 2013
By: RobinR
from Lake Geneva, WI
"The catalog states that 4 24" panels covers 6ft. Well 4x24=96" or 8ft. So it was way too big and way too heavy. We reordered the 3 panel with a gate opening on center and it is perfect for blocking our wet Goldens in the kitchen. Also much easier than having to haul 4 dining room chairs to do the job!"

Great Gates,
June 7, 2013
By: CBT5
"Other gates I tried were not very good looking and were too low. My dog would jump right over the top of them. This gate is very high quality and is tall enough to keep my dog from jumping over it. The high quality blends with the rest of the furniture in the house and I don;t have to hide it when I have guests."

Nice Dog Gate,
June 7, 2013
By: 3bassets
"This dog gate is very nice - looks great and works very well for my dogs, who do not try to get around gates. I can leave enough room for the cats to go around it and the dogs stay on their side. I liked the first one I ordered so much that I ordered another one. They are a nice improvement over the ugly baby gates I had before."

Great option for dog gates,
May 14, 2013
By: pjtx
"Just as advertised: nice wood, nice finish, even made in USA. A little heavier and darker than I anticipated. The 2 panel spans my 40" stairway entrance with no trouble, but wouldn't span much more without being easy to tip over."

By: Scoobster

"The quality of this item is excellent, I will be definitely suggesting it to my friends! I like the idea that the gate doesn't need to be fixed, you can lift it and place it anywhere you want!!! I'm thinking to buy one more gate for the other part of the house, so I don't need to move the one have already. Thank you Orvis for another wonderful product!!"

Better Than Expected,
April 12, 2013
By: petdiva
"The shipping was extremely fast and the packing was impressive. These pet gates are like furniture. The finish is just beautiful and I like the way the four panel gate can be moved into different shapes. The hinges work both ways and the rubber feet on the bottom allow easy movement. The gates are heavy enough that a small dog isn't able to move them and if they are set up properly they are extremely sturdy and balanced. Since they aren't attached to anything, the two panel gate may require two hands to remove from the doorway. I really wish I found these gates sooner and I will only buy these products if I ever need more gates.."

Dog gates to be proud of,
April 11, 2013
By: Jaxter
from Minnesota
"We ordered three of these. They are lovely and add to the homes decor...not distract. Very heavy and a little hard to move as we ordered one of the four panels. Highly recommend but would get the one with the door opening next time."

Versatile and handy -a life saver,
April 8, 2013
By: pugmom
from Ann Arbor, Mi.
"I bought similar ones from you a couple years ago and wrote a bad review as my dogs were able to move these if they really try. So, here I am buying two more!!!!! It has turned out that these things are absolute lifesavers. They are very portable so i move them around the house when i need to segregate the dogs (i have three pugs) like when someone comes to the door or when a dog unfriendly person visits. I use them now at the top and bottom of my stairs as one of my pugs is having back issues and is not supposed to climb stairs. They are easy to move for people to get by but the dogs do not move them and they work great.
I couldn't live without them!!!!

Can't get this to work....,
March 16, 2013
By: Connie1987
from Massachusetts
"After reading all these great reviews, I went and ordered two of the 36" gates, with the goal of trying to contain my 10-month-old Labradoodle puppy. The gates are exactly as advertised - solid, well-constructed, attractive, etc. However, my pup seems to be able to get past them no matter how I set them up. Granted, he is deviously clever, but it does seem like it's too easy for him. Maybe these work for normal, well-behaved dogs!"

Fantastic product,
March 12, 2013
By: Rubble
from Scottish highlands
"We have two young dogs and live in the country by a river. Our living area is open plan and the cream carpet was constantly muddy from the dogs. This gate means that we can section off the carpeted area, and the gate looks really good, a lovely piece of furniture in it's own right.
We are delighted, well worth the money

Practical!,
March 6, 2013
By: MCKS
from Vail, CO
"This gate is perfect for a doorway. I can set it up so the dogs don't enter a room but the kitty can get past. It keeps everyone happy! The gate is light and can be moved around the house as needed. The finish is beautiful and truly can work with any decor. The item is a bit pricey but I think it's well worth it and plan to use it for years to come. I have purchased cheaper items in the past that have not stood up to the challenge... poor kitty who has to run for cover!"

Beautiful & Effective Gate!,
March 5, 2013
By: Teneo
from Northern NJ
"The 36" 2 Panel Zig-Zag Dog Gate exceeds our expectations. We have used other, similar gates that served us well for years, but this gate is sturdier, better made with higher quality materials and better looking. It could be a piece of furniture! It does a great job of keeping even our cats where they belong. We will definitely order more as we need to replace the older ones."

"Great gate, but the description that says it's for up to a 6 foot opening is incorrect. This gate will fit a 7 foot opening easy. We had to swop ours for a 3 door for our 5 and half foot opening."

Exceptional Dog Gate,
February 19, 2013
By: Birchy
from Norfolk
"Bought this gate as we are getting a puppy in a couple of weeks but have an open plan house. This was the only gate I could find that was wide enough to keep the pup in the kitchen area at night. Heavy and good quality and I do not envisage the pup being able to knock it over."
