This is actually the 5th one I bought of the same thing - 2 for my sister and 3 for my Mom. The assembly is super easy, just 12 screws to put together. The wood finish and color are nice, the metal grill appears to be attached well to the wood. I knew it before I bought them that the legs would be protruding a bit and depending on your wall, there might be a bit of a gap between the wall and this pet gate. My family's dogs are small, no more than 20 lbs and they are not jumpers so it works for our purpose. I picked this gate because it is a perfect height, 20" - no problem stepping over to the other side of the gate without tripping. I also like it that you can adjust the length up to 68" by unlocking the 4 latches instead of unscrewing screws.
