Review on SmartStandard 28In X 84In Sliding Barn Wood Door Pre-Drilled Ready To Assemble DIY Unfinished Solid Spruce Wood Panelled Slab Interior Single K-Frame (Fit 4FT-5FT Rail) by Kyle Wesener

This barn door was wonderful. It was packaged very well and easy to put together. We noticed that there was some spacing between the boards when we put it together. Although the directions said it was normal and the wood would expand as the days went on, we felt the spacing was too much so we added some double sided tape to the inside groove of one of the long outside board. You will see there is a foam piece in the groove already, so we just stuck a piece of tape to it. We didn't take the paper off the other side of the two sided tape and then we put the boards back together. It seemed to work beautifully and hopefully the boards don't expand. The wood did not have a lot of knots and we were hoping to stain it, but we felt it looked better painted in our room. It truly would have been a beautiful door if we had stained it too. We put the "K" frame on the bedroom side of the door, but left it off the bathroom side of the door. If we notice the boards start to "cup", we will install the "K" frame on the bathroom side as well. I have attached pictures from both the bedroom and bathroom side so you can see what it looks like. To finish the door, first I rolled a coat of primer on the door and followed it up with three coats of white semi-gloss with primer, so I'm hoping the knots don't ever come through. Our walls are painted Sherwin Williams, color number 0055, Light French Grey. We feel this was a great purchase and would highly recommend it.
