Since there's the 20% off BRU F&F coupon right now, I want to buy our baby gates for the new place we're moving to in April (first place with stairs in my adult life- since the SORORITY HOUSE!)

I've seen a few posts about gates but none where people really say WHY they like the one they have. MIL's old house they had a gate on the stairs that went to the basement and I found the handle part frustrating, and it would often almost close, but then float back open. Important things to know with gates!

So... what do you have? Why do you like it? I'm interested in one that has tension and hardware mounts (plan to try tension first but ultimately probably hardware mount when the landlord clears the drilling of holes.) Since it's all light wood/carpet/white I'm looking for ones in light colors/white.

Thanks for the suggestions! I love hearing about WHY people love their gear!
