Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I rarely post product reviews but frequently read them and in this case am glad I did. I purchased this product after reading several reviews and was aware some folks found the product to be fractionally less than the advertised 72” in length. However, several reviewers also mentioned that they were able to fashion spacers to address the issue. Upon receipt of the product I determined it to about 1/8” too short for the intended location. However, thanks to a product review by T. Hughes posted January 30, 2016, I was able to secure perfectly engineered spacers for the gate. In his review, Mr. Hughes noted that as a project for middle school students in Kokomo, IN, he had them use a 3D printer to produce spacers necessary to fill the gap. He graciously invited others to contact him about producing similar spacers. I sent Mr. Hughes an email with pictures of the space and the measurement and within a few days I received two pairs of perfectly engineered spacers to solve the problem. Many thanks to Mr. Hughes and his students. I am very pleased with the results and especially pleased to see dedicated teachers and students apply modern technology to solve practical problems. Well done!!
