Ekena Millwork RWL15X036CGM Exterior Real Wood Sapele Mahogany Louvered Shutters (Per Pair), Chrome Green, 15"W x 36"H

I used these doors for something that they were not intended for (as I had seen my father do many years ago). I remodeled my kitchen and moved a range that was built into the cabinet and countertop to a place where the refrigerator used to be. I wanted a large refrigerator and in the late 1970s they were smaller.I stained the shutters a color that (almost) matched my cabinets and used the two shutter to fill the opening. They were PERFECT. After adding a new top for that portion of the countertop and installing a double trash can sliding bin, it completed the space. I then used ceramic tile to tile all of the countertops and create a backsplash.These shutters are lightweight, yet extremely sturdy and easily accepted the hinges I had to use to match my older cabinets.I would recommend these shutters to anyone for almost any purpose. Please note much of this company's products are made to order. An additional weeks wait is well worth the quality!

I was so pleased to open these up. They were professionally packed. The woodwork was clean and precise. They still had some sawdust on them. I wish I had taken some pictures before I started priming them. I picked one up and snapped a photo of the underside before finishing the prime. I hope it does it justice.Even though I gave the EASY TO INSTALL and LIGHTWEIGHT five stars each, they're 100% solid wood, not lightweight plastic. Also, the level of ease is dependent on how you'll be installing them. Mine will have a higher difficulty rating because I'm installing them with working traditional shutter harware. If your just nailing them up, then that would be simple.Whomever cut and assembled these, Thank You!!

When my wife said she wanted shutters for a window, I thought fine, I'll make it. Pretty easy project. I am a very experienced woodworker and make furniture and many other things. However, she wanted the shutters to have louvers. I've never done louvers before, so I tried to convince her to choose another style. She wanted louvers. I didn't want to get a jig for just on set of louvers, so I saw these and ordered them. They are extremely well made. They are made exactly as I would have. They are made of pine, and if I were to make them I would use an Rainforest wood like Jatoba or Sapele to better stand up to the elements. I'm not a fan of softwoods. They painted up great - I used an oil based semi-gloss. And now my wife wants a pair for another window. Maybe I might need that jig after all.

Excellent quality and value. So glad we found these real wood shutters rather than resorting to vinyl. Match our older shutters perfectly. Easy to sand, prime, and paint.

I needed to cover a small odd-sized opening into a crawl space with a ventilated door. I spent several weeks and searched all over and went through quite a few different ideas until I was finally lucky enough to find these. These are solid, high quality doors. I had to frame and trim the opening, and attach hinges. I am very pleased with the result! I've recieved numerous compliments. I will eventually add hardware and paint them when I repaint the rest of my basement.

I ordered two sets of these shutters and got them maybe 3 weeks later. Craftsmanship is outstanding and price very reasonable. I did have a problem with the 45" set which came in unprimed, not as ordered. I called Ekena Millwork and they noted the mishap, didn't ask that I return anything, and just sent a new set. I couldn't duplicate the beautiful factory prime finish job with a brush, that's for sure. And the protective packaging they use was very impressive. You will not have shipping damage with these shutters.Initially a small hiccup but an outstanding recovery on a great product. Bravo!

These shutters were not properly kiln dried, causing the pine resin to bleed through all the primer, top coat even with Zinsser BIN stain block treatment.

We had central air installed in our home and in the family room, two white vent covers were used. We did not like the look of the white when the room is hardwood so we got these. We then removed the vent covers and and used these and we are most pleased with the ease of installation and the fact it works great!
