This door is a fantastic buy! We are in the process of a small bathroom remodel. To gain some space, we removed the cased door which opened into the bathroom taking up valuable floor space. We plan to hang this barn door on a track outside the bathroom. Instant character! We had originally ordered a pre-made door at nearly four times the cost. However, that door was going to take weeks to receive. I could not risk it not arriving in time for our contractor or risk it arriving damaged and then having to wait even longer for a replacement. So, on to Amazon Prime I went to look for something that could arrive faster. I never even considered a DIY door until I read the reviews and kept hearing how easy it was to assemble. Soooo.....I ordered one and boy am I glad I did! Not only was it easy (I did it by myself without my husband's help) but it is gorgeous! I bought the espresso stained finish. Excellent quality and I saved almost $500 doing this myself in about 30 minutes.
Here are a couple of important things that no one really mentions....at least not that I could find.
- On both sides of the door, there will be three visible gold screws inset into a predrilled hole (at top, center, and bottom). There are no caps included to cover this. Easy fix though. Just use some stainable wood filler to fill the holes. Once dry, stain it using the small bottle of touch up stain that is included in the box.
- The diagonal slats of wood used to create the arrow design is installed using 6 black screws per slat. So 12 black screws on the face of the door and 12 on the back. I personally did not want to use the screws at all because I felt it cheapened the finished look of the door. So I used Flex Seal (it's what I had on hand and from personal use know it is strong and quick to grab hold) and I simply glued the slats in place. To make sure all slats were completely flush and laying flat while adhering, I placed some weights (dumbbells) on top for about an hour.
I almost never write reviews but I was so impressed with the value of this door I had to! Don't hesitate to buy this. You won't regret it. I will try to upload a picture once the door is installed.
