This door requires PATIENCE to assemble and install. Packaging for the door wasn't great but we worked around the knicks in the door during our assembly. Instructions are very poor and take time to interpret. Quality of the door in general is fair as the stain is subpar and the pieces did not exactly fit together as expected. Also, you do need to purchase backer board which is not made clear. On a positive note the door hardware is very good. We chose this door because it was available within our time constraints. Had that not been the case, we probably would have returned it after our first hour of frustration.
