Company mistakenly sent uncut version but it was very easy to cut down and install, and their customer service was very responsive and offered a retroactive discount for the extra effort and mix-up. Great product, easy to install

The pocket door hardware was great. I was confused because on You Tube the videos had wood inside the metal studs with slots on the sides for trim fasteners, my kit didn't have any of that. Still a great product!

Easy to install, great finished product for years of trouble free service

I had a contractor install a pocket door frame. He got a wooden pre-made frame kit from 84 Lumber. I checked the price and it is about $150 at Home Depot. During the initial quoting of my project (much more than just the door, the contractor convinced me to go with a 36" door. This turned out to be too big. It's my fault because I agreed. The job involved an exterior wall and 2 interior walls. The interior was not to be finished (open framing). The pocket door frame was installed (no door yet) and after looking at it for a while I decided it was too big. I decided to fix this myself. I removed the 36" door frame. I narrowed the wall framing to 30".

I could buy another wood frame (I couldn't return the original). I didn't want to pay the contractor to do my change. His work was good, but he ended up pricey.

I researched solutions and came upon this frame. It comes as a universal kit (trim it to width) or as in this case already the 30" size I wanted. I could have save about $40 if i used the universal and cut it myself. But having never installed a pocket door before, I didn't want to risk a mistake. If I were to do another, I would use the kit.

This product is fantastic. It is far superior to the wooden frame. It is easy to install and level. It includes a Soft Open and Close feature that the wooden frame kit did not have. The soft open and close works perfectly. It comes unassembled, and was shipped by a parcel carrier. It wasn't bulky like the wooden frame which would not fit in my car. This frame kit does fit in the car.

I gave it 4 stars for installation because it is a bit difficult if you don't have some carpentry skills and experience with doors. I was never a professional contractor. My skills are good, however there are trade skill that I never learned. The online videos are fantastic. After having completed the installation, I would find it very easy to install next time. If you are a carpenter, it get 5 stars for installation.

This is a 5 star product. Great quality. Great instructions (online videos). It took me a bit longer to do this (I'm approaching 70). But I did complete it and am very happy with it.

At first I questioned the value. The differential was over 25% more expensive than wooden. However further research on the soft open/close feature convince me that this is a fair price and a great value for what I received. I am a happy customer.

Easy to install, great instructions, advise getting the trim kit. Love the soft clothes, both on open and close. Easy to adjust.
