Quality
Horrible instructions and poor quality. Put it together after 3 hours and looks like garbage. Debating to send it back but now have holes in my wall from hanging the rail system up. I paid $235 for it and now I see that the price has gone up to $508. I wouldnât pay a $1 for this junk.

Terrible directions
The diagram and directions provided suck!My husband is a carpenter, and he struggled. Instructions were unclear and lacked correct measurements.Hardware provided was good quality. However for the price I feel like this is cheaply made and kind of labor intensive. Had to build the door from provided materials with lousy directions.

Quality is subpar
I’ll echo what everyone else has said. The door portion didn’t come with any instructions. Lay it all out to make sure you get the fit you’re expecting. Only 3 boards came with finished sides so one board will be exposed with a slit meant for another piece. Not sure if this was normal or a quality control thing. Speaking of quality control, I get the door is the way it is to be light but I’ll have some touch up to do once it’s up. One small chuck broke off. Luckily I can fix this with some wood glue and marching stain. Doesn’t seem horrible for what it is but with just a little effort it could have been better.

Not a good value
Item arrived damaged. There were also two pieces that were incorrect. I really like the door so I contacted the manufacturer who sent me the correct pieces supposedly. One of them was cracked, one of them was correct and the other piece was not the right width. Therefore the cross pieces on one of the doors would have had to have all been cut and painted to match. They sent me an extra piece and that was the one that was cracked so that may have been just to fill the box. I returned the whole thing. For that kind of money I’m not going to make major adjustments and repainting to match. If I wanted to do that I would make my own which is I think but I’ll end up doing. I really like the doors and the way they look but there was just too much inconsistency. The seller was absolutely amazing and jumped right on sending me the correct pieces. Unfortunately they were not all the correct pieces.

Defective and crooked
I just received the door and upon opening the box I found some panels that are completely crooked just like in the photo. It is going to be impossible to put this door together no matter what I do.. bad experienceUpdates. I received a replacement door. Itâs not any better than the first one. Too many cracks. Too many unnecessary holes and all the panels are different sizes. I built a beautiful frame for it but the doors material is really bad.

Wood was warped, poor quality
The hardware was good in the kit but the wood slats were warped. Very difficult to put together with wood that isnât straight. Also the directions were wrong for the wood pieces and so it took a lot of time to figure out. The screws will not work in drywallâyou will need to have a stud if you want to hang this door. In the directions, the drill bits are all in mm and not in inches so good luck finding the exact bits. There are no predrilled holes in the main panels so fitting it exactly together was near impossible. Not a good buy.

Fragile but nice
Using this for a very small behind the door pantry. This was the perfect small size for the job. It looks great and came with all the pieces. My only complaint is that it knicked very easy. Lost a sizeable chunk while putting it together. It didn’t take much to to ding it. A little stain hid the dent, but still didn’t think it should have broken so easily. For its purposes, and because it is tucked away in the laundry room, I just restained and won’t worry about it.

Really nice.
Iâm so happy with these doors! It did take a little bit of elbow grease to build them. One of the boards was a little warped so it took some brain power and strength to make the other planks work but the end result is really beautiful!! Definitely recommend this product!
