Amazon.com Product Reviews
The Sumer Infant Custom-Fit gate lets you tackle the dilemma of cordoning off unusual openings and areas in your house. Being as much as 12 feet wide or as little as six feet, the Custom-Fit gives you the freedom of blocking staircases or for use in extended openings--think living room. The gate comes with hardware to mount to the walls and a template; all you need is a screwdriver. The locking door swings both directions for easy passage without removing the entire gate-- no more hurdling to save time. The fabric is soft and durable, and the panes are pretty much transparent, so the little ones won't miss any of the action when behind the gate. No bars or metal and wood also reduce the likelihood of injury. --Scott Teal

 Too expensive for the time useful August 21, 2008
J. Sergio (Illinios USA)
It is great for a very short amount of time. It was helpful when my daughter was crawling, and kept her in her own space. I was able to block off an entire room with it. But when she was about 17 months, she realized how easy it was to rip off the "breathable" gate, because it is only attached with velcro. It is very frusterating, that we spent so much on it, and went to the great extent of installing it and re arranging our house, for it to work only a few short months. I wouldn't really reccommend anything with velcro!!
A good value August 18, 2008
2 cuties mom (Raiford, Florida)
I read a bunch of the 1 star reviews and I just don't understand their problems. I have had this gate for 2 years and have next to zero complaints. My one wish would be that the plastic parts were metal instead, but that is a minor complaint. I have not had a problem with my kids pushing through the velcro and they know not to hang on it, so that problem is a discipline problem, not the gate design. And why would an adult climb over it?? The locking mechanisim is such that kids don't have the coordination to work it. If you climb over it, you are an accident waiting to happen. And to top off my good experience, the gate section recently broke (the plastic part). I called the manufacture (Summer) and they are sending me a new gate section. No questions asked, only what part was broken. It didn't matter that it was probably my dog jumping over it that broke it. I'm not even paying shipping. I would definately buy this gate again. The only reason I'm not giving it 5 stars is because of the plastic, but the customer service more than makes up for it.
 I love this gate! August 11, 2008
Andrea Yunger-walter
It is not easy to find a gate that fits large openings. I have a home with an open floor plan, this was the most reasonably priced gate that extended at least 100" long. It blends in well with the decor of our house too! I have this gate standing on its on for now, but as soon as my child starts walking we will connect it to the wall. The gate is also easy enough for my 6 year old to open and lock. I am very happy I purchased this.
I'm happy with it so far, velcro door and all... July 28, 2008

After reading the review by Mrs Egers about the velcro door, I immediately had to look at our gate that we bought to see if it did, in fact, have a velcroed door. It does.
However, our gate has a couple small stitches, like french knots over the velcro in the corners to keep it from just peeling off as described. Until I got down on my knees to look, I couldn't tell that it was velcroed on. Even with all the daily use, it was firmly in place. I tried peeling it off, as described, and could only get a small section apart - and it wasn't easy. I think if you had a very resourceful and dexterous toddler, they could get it apart with some persistance and unsupervised time if they were shown how to. I think most kids would not even notice it. It looks like it was just sewn together. I don't plan to bring this little design flaw to the attention of any of my kids! And, fortunately, we are blocking a hallway, not a stairway.
The main reason I chose this gate was for the support in the center, on either side of the door, keeping it from tipping. It spans a 90-inch hallway in our home. Many of the other gates I reviewed had the problem of falling over in the middle when spanning only about 70 inches, because of inadequate floor support in the center. A favorite toddler pasttime is shaking the gate that is holding them in - I didn't want something that was going to just collapse. Ours came with screws for mounting right into a stud or a wooden post, as well plastic anchors for mounting into sheetrock. I was lucky enough to be able to mount it into wood on both sides. If you can't mount into a stud beam, I recommend using toggle bolts instead of the little plastic thingies.
Again, so far, so good. It has managed to bungle the 1-yr old and the cats, but not the 4-yr old, 7-yr old or 9-yr old (nor the adults!).
Nice Nice Nice.... July 27, 2008

So...yes this gate is a $100, but it is great. We needed two as we have two wide openings that needed attention. What worked out great is that the pieces of the gates can be "shared." What I mean here is that we have 4 solid panels + 1 door in one spot and 1 solid panel and 1 door in another spot. Worked out great. The fabric is no longer attached by velcro. The gate is sturdy and has a open/close mechanism that is easy to navigate, but the baby can't even see it unless standing.
