this is the real deal. It's heavy; it's real wood; it looks authentically like a barn door. Fancy that! I'm glad it didn't come with hardware since I have a challenging setup with a sloping ceiling. My savvy carpenter made it work using actual barn door hardware he found at a tractor supply store or some such. I still need to buy finger-pulls or grab bars for each side of it. The hardware is crucial; you won't be happy with the door if you're not happy with the hardware you use. I had thought I might partially re-finish the door... ash it up or something, to make it pop against my brown walls, but I'm liking it as is.

Im a big fan of Wayfair and have been generally happy or satisfied with my WF purchases...but was quite disappointed with these doors. For the price, these should have arrived in better shape... parts. Aside from a split on one of the support panels, there are scuff marks throughout all panels. Then you have to put together yourself, and will need some specialty clamps to construct properly. The biggest downfall...no hardware...just the wood. I could have built a nice deck for the price of 2 doors. However, WF customer care stepped up and took quick care of the situation. Alls good wWF but still wont endorse this product.

Extremly messy stain work with fingerprints and brush strokes throughout 2 separate doors, wood was warped to the point where I had to try and clamp and strap to get it remotely tight. Then we get to the scuffs and chips right out of the box. Over 800 down the drain and its not looking like customer service is doing much since I have yet to receive a response from them. If you order these doors plan on stripping and restaining as they look nothing like the picture
