I like this door for the price, and I was able to assemble it myself. It is solid pine, but not too heavy. I deducted a star because it was not easy to get each slat level when assembling. I ended up taking it apart 3 times, and had to use a makeshift shive to get the spacing correct. I also felt the need to use a thin bead of caulk between each slat because I didn’t like the way the paint was settling in when I began priming and painting it. It also took a fair amount of sanding to get the surface smooth and ready to be primed and painted. Basically, if you’re willing to put in a little work, this is a good door for the price.
