The door is an attractive, high quality, 5-star product; installation instructions and process are a 3 to 4-star. We just installed new vinyl siding and aluminum soffit and fascia on our house and screened in our front porch. I wanted an attractive, quality door that would be maintenance-free. I also wanted a 5-bar style so my dog could sit inside and look out, but couldn't punch through the screen after a squirrel or something. My perfect door was very hard to find available to ship within a week, but this one fit the order perfectly! I had my contractor install it, and he said the instructions were definitely lacking. On the pros, you can set it up (left/right) exactly how you need to, but then nothing is predrilled or set on the door when it arrives in the box. So, it could be tough for a novice. Good packaging--no issues there. Some issues and slight delay with FedEx--not Wayfair's fault. Overall, I'd buy the door again and do recommend because it's perfect!. Dana.
