Features
A 3 in 1 pet gate that can function as a regular pet gate, a room divider and a pet exercise pen

The panels can stand up in a straight line, or they can bend to 90 degrees – giving you a Z shape configuration gate
If you decide to make the gate into the exercise pen configuration, you can buy a cover for the pen
You can also buy a floor tray for the pen so that your pets don’t scratch your floor and so any mess is caught
There are caps that go between the panels. When you remove them, you can fold down the panels and store them away

The door doesn’t latch super strong, but it does enough to provide a clear close
There are lighter pet gates out there, but the weight makes the gate more sturdy when freestanding
Overall
If you have small to medium sized pets, and you want a pet gate 3 in 1 that will look nice inside, the Richell 3 in 1 Convertible is worth the money.

Drawbacks
Not as easy to assemble as other pet gates
The pressure mounts aren’t very strong – will have to mount with the mounting hardware if you want a solid and sturdy gate
The gate really only work up to a certain width. Once you start getting up to 50 inches, the gate lacks the length in the gate and the screws to be installed properly.
Overall
Overall there are some design flaws in this gate that prevent it from being worth the money. Instead you can check out other similar height and width gates on the market such as the Dreambaby Chelsea Extra Tall and Wide Gate (on Amazon) for example. There are others too.

The pressure mounts aren’t anywhere near as secure as the hardware mounts included in the kit
Overall
The gate is OK. To have it super secure and prevent it slipping around you may have to use the hardware mounts and fix it to a wall. Apart from that, there’s not a whole heap wrong with the gate
