Negative Positive
Title: Not safe
Review: The base is a tripping hazard - both I and my wife have tripped over it.The way it is mounted to the wall is unstable - the plastic cups that bolt to the wall are too shallow to prevent the gate from dislodging from them (especially on the top - see below).The friction system using the adjusting screws is solid enough on the bottom of the gate where, thanks to the (extra tall) base, the screws push against an uninterrupted piece of metal(the base). On the other hand the top is a lot looser, especially on the side where the extension is not used, causing the tall thin set of rods to flex and dislodge from the cup. If you try to tighten it, the gate is impossible to close. On top of it my 2 year old son managed to loosen the adjusting screws on both sides of the gate causing it to open even without the safety latch.
Is the review positive or negative?
