Latching mechanism. Product review: I bought this gate (and the KidCo Safeway Gate) after reading good reviews. Both had major design flaws in my view. I would not recommend either to anyone.This gate's latching mechanism is too complicated and made of cheap plastic. There is a small button that you need to press every time you open the gate. If you don't, the latch breaks. Without fail, everyone who tries to open the gate for the first time doesn't press the button. Just a matter of time before it breaks. It's also difficult to open with one hand.The Safeway gate claims that it only opens in one direction to prevent it from opening over the stairs. The mechanism used to do this is two little plastic nubs that are insufficient for the job. It was very easy to push the gate over the stairs, with only minor resistance.I am an engineer and installed both gates absolutely correctly.Do not buy these gates. And, KidCo, improve your designs.

Review title: Look but don't touch (or buy!). Fell apart. Product review: We operate a small unfinished furniture store and thought we would try out this product through Amazon before committing to a minimum order with the wholesaler. This might be a better product for someone who specializes in Garden Decoration, since it is completely not functional. This bench fell apart after just two months of use. The seat collapsed with one of our customers on it. While it *is* made out of red cedar which gives the impression of durability, the slats are quite thin, and the construction is flimsy. This bench comes ready to assemble - have you got a few hours? The finish does not hold up beyond maybe 30 days, and it is now sitting in a heap behind our store, waiting to be thrown out or repaired. Amazon may have sent a replacement if we had taken the time to call - we just got too busy. You would be better off with somthing else, even aluminum construction from Wallyworld is going to be better than this.

Review title: Two pregnancies no stretch marks Product review: I used this product through both of my pregnancies and I am happy to say that I have no stretch marks. I know they say that stretch marks are genetic and there is little that you can do to prevent them, but my mother has large stretch marks from her pregnancies. I don't think that it hurts to try this!The only thing that I didn't like about this product was the scent. I was nauseous for all 9 months each time I was pregnant and I wish an unscented version were available. The scent isn't too bad, but when you're not feeling well to begin with it's just one more thing that flares the nausea.
