First off, it is important to note that the two panels are not symmetrical to the center of the shutter. If you're not careful, you could hang a pair and find out the center divider is mismatched. An image is attached. I used a silver Sharpie to mark the top as I lined up each new shutter to the old shutter.

Not much to say about the quality of the product. I was replacing 11 sets of 20-year old red shutters that had been painted black. The new shutters look great and met my expectations. The second image is of the new shutters on the ground floor windows and the old shutters above. I used the old shutters as drilling templates so there was no drama pushing in the plastic barbed anchors into my brick exterior. Well... just a little drama when one anchor bent and snapped. I purchased a set of 10 spare anchors for insurance and didn't miss a beat. Well worth the extra $10.

The only frustration was with a limit on the order quantity. I needed fours sets of 75" shutters and seven sets of 63" shutters. Amazon and/or Ekena placed a maximum order limit of six sets for each size. I thought I could place a second order for the last set but Amazon wouldn't accept the order based on the six set limit. I found a workaround to get the last set delivered so all is good in the end. Buy why? Is it inconceivable that a homeowner would have more than six windows in one size?

Panels look great. However, we are missing 2 packs of the shutter loks and one package only has 10 when it should have 12. Called Amazon with problem and hopefully gets resolved soon.

Our house was being painted and we needed new shutters. Our painter painted these to match the trim. They were less expensive than what I was finding at local stores and a much quicker delivery.

When comparison shopping realize there are seemingly only 2 actual producers, Polaris and Mid-America. besides the Big Box *M store which produces 2 sided shutters. Mid-America will sell under many different names and so will Polaris. You can tell who produces the particular ones you are considering by the direction of fake grain in the "routed" channel...These Mid-America/Ekena (actually came in Mid-America boxes) have a horizontal grain in the channel. I felt that these were more sturdy than the Polaris made ones. Pricing applies to apples, buying Mid-America under this Ekena brand saved me $300
