I wanted a barn door that wasn't too rustic.  The glass panels in this door make it more modern.  I got it in gray, which looks nice.  If you look closely it is obviously some kind of veneer.  We haven't had any problems with it, it runs smoothly on its track.  If you are getting this to replace a normal door between rooms, you should be aware that this door is 36 inches wide, while the normal doorway is around 30 inches wide.  This is only an issue if you have a limited length of wall for the door to slide open onto.
