I bought these for my closets as I am making five of my closets from JLH's closet materials. Generally the tower doors are of acceptable quality, but once in a while I get a set of doors in plain generic white boxes that of extremely poor quality. The wood does not shiny as the others do, the latches open with a very notchy feel and fit very poorly into the holes in the doors, and the hardware are abominably weak, I broke a scew just tightening it into the door. What was worse is that these door do not match in size with the others that come in retail labeled boxes, so if you are installing them below or above another set, for instance on a tower.

These seem pretty well made, but the way they are packaged, only one door is well protected. Whoever makes or packages these needs to revise the packaging.

The way they are packaged, it looks like one door damages the glass on the other door. I received one door in perfect condition, and the other one with broken glass. I was considering buying two sets when I bought this one, but I'm glad I didn't. I ended up replacing the glass in both doors (so they match).

Pretty much a letdown.

When these doors arrived, I was very pleased with their look and apparent craftsmanship. My opinion went downhill quickly after that. The hinges aren't designed to go with the 12" depth of the closet unit and, once a proper mounting is installed, their lack of adequate adjustability leaves the doors rubbing when closed (they should have a slight gap between them).
