Good points
Activity panel on one side section.
Sections can be assembled and disassembled without the use of a tool.
Bad points
Minor safety failures: 1. Lock on gate does not engage automatically when closed. 2. Too easy for a child to lift. 3. Manufacturer's label can be removed without a tool which poses an ingestion hazard.
Gate latch is situated low and very fiddly to operate.
The manufacturer says this model has been out of stock for a while.
