Customer Reviews for FINISHED ELEGANCE 1 in. x 3 in. x 8 ft. MDF Molding Board

This is an amazing product for DIY accent walls. Very easy to work with. My butt joint skills need work so I would opt for longer boards in the future and be sure to place the warped side towards the wall. Also only needed on coat of behr premium paint.

Unless you’re glueing this trim, I would avoid it. Recommended installation is using a finish nailer- I tried both a finish and brad nailer. Both leave ragged bulges in the vinyl coating and look terrible. (I use quality tools). So it’s hand nailing which only looks marginally better. Also, the label sends you to their web site for painting prep instructions. Nowhere does it feature those directions. I’ve put in a lot of trim and this is a product I will not be using again.

I did not get elegrance. I got something else. Just make sire my acct gets adjusted

Found the Miratek label on on the end of swollen, failing trim on our house today. It appears some was correctly installed and some wasn't. Swells and holds water once wet. Replacing with Acre.

Replaced the trim when we installed a new dloor. Looks great!!!

Durable. Easy to trim, cut and work with (with the right equipment). I am using it to trim a custom wall-in closet build and so far (halfway through project) I am pleased with the results so far. Because it already has a nice finish, touch up will be easy.

I am a big fan of prefinished products. I used this as trim board in a kitchen. the fingerprints wiped off easy. I had trouble using trim nails, 2.5 inch trim nails actually bent before nailing through so I used trim screws. I still had to pre-drill and then sink the screw and filled with a little caulk, not sure if there is a better way to get a more hidden head but the trim worked out well I think it will stay cleaner then painted trim.

The product did well for the side patio wall project I completed. Screws tend to work a little better than brad nails due some small marring and chipping here or there. But either one will work fine as I used both.

Great product for my ceiling.

Per website suggestion, we used the Behr Premium Plus - Ultra Pure White in Semi-Gloss (as recommended) and it is much whiter, (Finished Elegance has a "bluer/grayer" hue) and the paint is much shinier. Now we have to repaint all of those boards.. Photo shows 2 coats and the obvious differences. Now we have to try a few different options, to find a closer match? Not happy!!

Excellent product for the shelves my wife wanted. Already finished. Minor touch up needed for small imperfections. Home Depot made the cuts i wanted, and great brackets were availabe as well. I will use thes again!

Was decent and fair price

We love these as baseboards and door trim. Simple clean lines and mold and mildew resistant, so fingers crossed, it holds up to my boys and their giant messes when they bathe. Love the look and love that they are already painted white.

Great product, no warping like wood and no painting requirements touch up holes and joints with caulk. If you do need to paint, Behr eggshell paint in falling snow is an exact match

The finish is durable, paintable, and surprisingly a better price than the unprimed boards.

The product is good and was easy to work with The only issue is the underside of the plastic primer finish ripped when I cut the boards on table saw. Fortunaltely only one side will show so it was not a problem for me.

Easy to work with but the manufacturer applied stickers that were very hard to remove - it required using GOO GONE to get rid of the adhesive residue. I shouldn't have to be doing that.

Great quality boards. Would be a 5 star product if the adhesive for some of the stickers would allow for easy removal. As it is, plan on spending 10 min per board to remove barcodes.

Being prefinished made this board easy to install. The rounded edges gave it a much nicer look than a regular board. It finished off the project wonderfully. My wife was happy

Description states "trim is completely finished with no painting required". This is a falsehood. At store looked mainly for pieces that were straight. All had a bend at one end that started about 2 feet down (Home Depots fault because of how they stand them). So I grabbed 6 of the straightest pieces I could find. When I got home and had a closer look all the boards were full of defects: Indented lines, paint/ bad finishing speckles throughout. So not only do you have to sand them down to get rid of the painted specks but then you have to paint them as well. Do not recommend.

I've used these before. These boards are quality items, easy to work with and finished. Durable, easy to work with.

very expensive. I didn't like the finish of the product. I should have purchased primed wood and painted it

An excellent product. From it we made a fantastic pantry and closet shelving system. It is beautiful.

1"x2"x8ft mdf molding worked great for building kitchen pantry shelfing mounts. Easy to cut and painted white simplifies installation.

Strong wood and very nice-looking white finish.
