Finding a stair barrier that effectively protects and blocks kids and animals from danger yet remains stylish enough to blend in with the décor of a home can be challenging. Some testers told us that they had been searching for something that answered these needs and Voila! They loved the modern design of the gate as well as the interchangeable canvas. (You can order a canvas with your last name, a monogram, etc.) Testers felt that the quality of the fabric and the construction of the stair barrier were superb. Simple to install (just 3 clips on each side) and when not in use you can just unclip one side and roll the fabric up against the other side. Alternatively, if you want to remove the entire barrier for a party or something similar, you simply unclip the other side and store it away, there is no evidence that a gate ever existed, unlike many screw or pressure-held gates. The barrier is slightly taller than standard gates which makes it harder for toddlers to hang on. The bottom line from parents is that this barrier is practical and looks nice in your home.
