What a great product. Received last week and put them together this past weekend. The instructions were easy to follow. I can't comment on durability yet or if the color will fade over time, but considering the material they should last much longer than those made of wood or MDF. The reason I went this direction is because I'm tired of replacing them every other year. We have saltwater and the salt in the air can be brutal paints etc. If anything changes, I'll update this review. So far, I would certainly recommend them.
