This is medium density fiberboard - if you are going to use it in a bathroom, which is a common place for wainscoting, you *must* prime it first. I primed each piece twice prior to installation and let it dry on a rack made of construction junk I had on hand. I hand nailed with 8d finish nails, counter-sunk all the nails with an appropriate sized punch, then filled the depressions with wood putty. I caulked with paintable silicon caulking to fill any gaps (you want to leave a little bit of space in between each board so it can flex as they expand and contract with heat) and to fill the edges where the trim meets the wall. I then painted two coats of waterproof white enamel paint with light sanding in between. I think this should last for a while. Ill be honest in the admission that this is an experiment. I'd have liked to have done the entire bathroom in hardwood but this MDF was considerably cheaper and I really think if you take your time it should be fine in a high humidity area. If you cut corners you will likely be upset in the future. We shall see if it works in the long run. Picture isn't the best but I am very happy with the result. Bathroom was a complete gut job that I did after work in the evenings.

This product is easy to install and looks great. And House of Fara has GREAT customer service.

These kits make it easy to install wainscot and if you need to, and I did, the company will send you the few additional pieces to complete your project.

Beautiful. Very easy to install.

This arrived in good shape. my contractor said it was easy to install. One box came with two chair rails instead of a baseboard.. A call to Home Depot and a baseboard arrived in a few days. Installed 3 weeks ago.

worked well, easy installation.

We used this in our new half-bath and we really like how it looks. We did have a professionals install it so I don't know if it was easy to install or not.

Good product. Looks great in my spare bedroom. I only had one box (1 out of 5) missing a base board and chair rail, but a replacement was sent out super quick.

The fit and finish was great. The primer was very smooth and easy to paint. I would recommend painting both sides as the panels do warp a little. I would definitely order this product again for another project.
