Love the shutters!! We have received many compliments since installing them. They are very much what I expected for their construction quality. They are thick enough material and should hold up well, but not so heavy that they are unmanageable. They come with options for securing to your home depending on the surface being installed on. I really like the 3 Batten look vs the 2, even on a shorter length. I would buy again if I ever needed too for some reason, I did all the windows in my house with them.
