It was not clear to me at the time of purchase that assembly of the door was required. It was not difficult to assemble but I did not like having to put stickers over bolt  holes to hide them. One of the panels was also damaged out of the box which required some surgery and touch-up paint. I would have returned it, but due to the weight and where I am hanging it, it was not worth the effort. After it is hung it will be ok for the application but I would use something different if in a living room or other similar area.
