 Picture not accurate of contentsMay 06, 2009
By Tempus
Buyer be aware. The description and picture of contents in the box are not accurate. The picture shown includes 2 extensions that are not part of this product. The description states it reaches 60", which it does not unless you buy those two extension.
I paid $69.99 plus $10.00 shipping from Revival Animal Health to learn this. I returned and was charged a 20% restocking fee and had to pay $20.00 shipping to return direct to manufacture (Carlson Pet Products). Rip off. Revival told me that I should have bought direct from them instead of using Amazon... then they could help me out more.
I should have just bought the extensions from them, but I was so mad at being treated so poorly - that I paid to return and be penalized.
This is the last time I will purchase anything from an Amazon Seller. Might as well deal with EBay. Only Amazon direct from here.

 Works fine but very hard to installApr 24, 2010
By P. Adelman
This is my second Carlson gate. We have a household with a baby, dog and cat, and we needed a gate that would contain the baby and dog, but let the cats go freely back and forth. This gate, with the built-in pet door, works fine for this -- if you can get it installed right.
I'm a pretty handy guy, have a full home workshop, and have built furniture from scratch and have been fixing and building things around the house for 20+ years. I found the installation on the Maxi to be a major pain, and nearly impossible to get right, and the way it is designed there is no tolerance for error. There are two main problems: First, they provide a paper template for locating the screw holes for the 4 mounting brackets, and the template was inaccurate by an amazing 8 inches (if I had followed the template the lower edge of the gate would have ended up 8 inches above the floor). That's unbelievably poor quality control. Second, once you get the template right, the 4 mounting points must each be in perfect relationship to one another vertically and horizontally. If one of the 4 mounts is off by an eighth of an inch, the gate won't mount correctly. On the first Carlson gate I bought, I probably had to re-drill the mounting bracket holes 6 or 8 times to get them in exactly the right spot. On this one, being uber-careful, I got 3 out of 4 of them right the first time (after triple-checking everything).
The directions were poor as well. They don't tell you, for example, that the walk-through door only swings one-way, which has implications if you are installing the gate at top or bottom of stairs.
So, if you love an installation challenge, this is a fine gate.

 good gateDec 17, 2007
By Dudley's mom
The only gate that I found that could cover the span of our kitchen opening. However, the distance between bars is a bit too wide and my puppy could squeeze right through. Now that he's a bit bigger there's no problem.

 Love this gate for children and petsMay 20, 2011
By Debsddd
Really like this gate. Attractive, easy to install, great height, fits our extra wide doorways and easy to open and lock with one hand.
We use this for our grandson but our cats have used the handy pet door.
Would definitely recommend this to people with both small children and animals.

Does its jobJul 04, 2010
By ddsreview
This is a budget gate that does its job. It is basiccally a bunch of metal tubing spot welded together and painted. So if you are looking for a budget gate and looks are not that important this would be a good choice. If you are lookings for a gate to compliment your trim/woodwork, you willl probably want to spend more money and get something that is a little higher quality. It was easy to assemble and is keeping the kids out of the area that we have blocked off. I For what I am using it for I would buy this again.
