These shutters are beautiful. We bought them in chocolate. The quality is as good as any other plastic shutter. Prepare yourself for a possible headache when installing them. Our house was built in 1996, and the original shutters don't attach to the brick the same way as these, so it's not as simple as popping the old ones off and popping these in. My husband had to buy masonry drill bits (multiples because they go dull or break in the brick) to install them. We've only done one window so far because it's quite a task. We'll likely have to hire someone to do the second story windows.
