I've owned two variations of a Safety 1st bedrail that doesn't seem to exist anymore and recently purchased this Dex. Overall the Dex is made well. It's strong, sturdy and the neutral colors are a big improvement over my older bedrails. We use it on a king sized bed and the anchor strap really does fit a king as advertised. I also really like that it is extra tall (though it doesn't fold all the way over into the lowered position because it hits the floor before it gets flat against he bed frame). Even though our mattress is pretty thick, I found I got a more secure fit by removing the mattress protector rail.
The downside compared to my older rails are that it's the kind of thing you install and leave. My Safety 1st rails installed securely without the anchor strap design and came pre-assembled in one piece that could expand and collapse without sacrificing strength. We've even been able to stick it in a standard sized suitcase and take it on a plane. That won't be happening with the Dex. And good luck releasing both hinges at the same time to lower the rail if you have average to short arms. The assembly wouldn't deter me from buying it again, but it's definitely not the easy breezy install of my other models (definitely not as simple as advertised).
