I have to say that I do feel the gate isn’t as sturdy as metal but with a wood gate you are going to have some give and flexibilty.(I bought this to replace a metal pressure mount that my son shook til it fell on him) But once installed it is extremely stable and definitely not going to be ripped out of the wall. My son and the boy I watch both 16 months shake it and I have good faith in it. I have it at the bottom of the stairs but if I needed to I would put it at the top.
As for putting it up I chose to make a trip to the hardware store as opposed to buying a kit, which I would’ve needed two of since it is installed into drywall on one side and against a bannister on the other. I bought a 2×3 stud board, 2 toggler bolts(metal anchors that pop open behind the wall) and some wood stain. I also used some paint and cable ties, which I already had. I chose the 2×3 instead of a 1×2 so that I wouldnt have extra holes in the wall from the gate screws going through the board.
I cut the board into two 36″ in pieces. Painted one to match my wall and stained to other to match the bannister. I used the template to put the gate hinges on the wall board. Then I drilled the holes for the bolts. I put the board to the wall where I wanted it and drilled through again to make the holes for the anchors. I took the board away to make the holes in the wall larger to fit the anchors. I put the bolts and anchors on and bolted it to the wall. I put the other board up to the banister and marked where I wanted the ties to go. Then I drilled holes through the board so that the ties could go through the board and tied it to the bannister. Then I put the gate onto the wall brackets and lined it up to install the latch brackets and that was it.

My husband installed this gate in less than 10 minutes, and it is super easy to open with one hand. I would recommend this product to anyone, it would be great for doorways or stairs. We just swing it against the wall when not in use.

I have had this gate at the top of my stairs for 7 years and it is still as effective as the day I bought it. Orignally I used it to protect my little babies and now I use it to keep my dogs where they should be. This gate is the most stury gate I have ever seen. I had to tell my 9 year old to stop using it as a swing – my 70lb 9 year old was swinging on it and it didn’t come out of the wall or break in any way!!! this gate is amazing.

My husband installed this (with easy) on the first day. That alone is worth 4 stars. It is easies enough to open and keeps my little one from going down the stairs. I wish I had gotten this when we had our first son.

Get rid of that old heavy plastic (not attractive, either) and buy a couple of these wooden gates. Sturdy enough to give you confidence and they are even an attractive addition to my staircase (top and bottom). Love the weight and the the look. Excellent value. Hardware is useful and adapts to different needs. Excellent value and product.
