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 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.

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.
