I didn't realize this would require assembly, but then I didn't read the production description fully. I just checked for size and look. I had hardware already and it worked out fine. Assembling the door was pretty easy. The instructions called for a bunch of tools I don't have, but I managed fine. The panels were not protected in any way from the adhesive and one another and came out of the package all scuffed and a couple of them had tape glue on them. The screws were tossed in and not placed in any additional packaging. Therefore, the stain has several places where it is almost rubbed off. All that being said, the door adds a lot of charm to our entry way, and really makes it seem taller. It looks really nice, and matched a stained wood beam we already have very well.
