The door has to be put together but was not difficult to do. Much heavier and sturdier than expected. My one and only complaint is that I ordered the dark gray door. I received an unfinished door, not gray. I was so disappointed but my husband had no idea so had already started putting it together. I called Wayfair to speak to a live person and have to say the Rep couldn’t have been nicer. She offered several solutions, my choice. I chose to get a refund of a percentage of the price and altho I now have to stain it myself I’m completely satisfied. Thank You Wayfair
