But, I had to return, because the wall we mounted the gate on was hollow

I even tried very heavy-duty hollow wall anchors, bigger/heavier screws (and bolts), but, it just wouldn't stay

Damage my brand new wall

So, if you aren't putting this into a solid wall or stud, trust me, it's just not going to work, no matter how hard you try

I learned this the hard way and now have several mis-drilled holes in my pretty wall

I had to add some wooden spacers between my top hinge and the wall so that the gate would reach.

It scuffed up my wall

" off.-If installing against a wall like I was find a stud and put the hinge side on that stud.-Attach the hinges to the gate and have someone hold them and the gate upright along the stud at the height you want.-Look at where the lower rail on the latch side meets the wall.

You should NOT have the only the top touching the wall and the bottom one hanging in the air or visa versa.8

Incredibly flimsy, terrible plastic wall mounts, broke after 4 days of use, baby never even went near it thankfully

So my dry wall is messed up as well

Also, if you have wooden/metal railing on the bottom of your staircase instead of wall you'll need to construct a slab of wood or metal in the railing so the hardware can be mounted properly

We tried a few and they were disastrous and damaged the walls.

Not a bad product, but not as good as I was hoping.

I received no hardware to install the gate and I am shocked as to how that managed to happen

The pieces attaching to the wall broke as soon as it was secured to the wall
