I rarely leave negative reviews
I rarely leave negative reviews, but this experience with ETO Doors warrants it. We purchased what were represented to us as stain-grade, solid white oak doors. What we received was the exact opposite. Every single door had visible glue contamination throughout the panels, making them completely unsuitable for stain grade finishing. After extensive effort sanding, conditioning, re-sanding, and re-staining, it became clear these doors were not capable of achieving a proper stain finish. Because of this, we were forced at the last minute to pivot to painting all of the doors just to meet a client’s grand opening deadline. This resulted in thousands of dollars in additional labor and materials, not to mention significant stress and disruption to the project timeline. On top of the quality issues: The order was delayed by approximately 4 weeks We were forced to pay $1,600 in expedited shipping due to their delays. A representative stated they would help cover a portion of that cost, this has never been honored Communication was equally unacceptable: I have over 40 calls into this company Repeated promises of callbacks that never happened Multiple instances of being told “the owner is out to lunch” followed by no follow-up whatsoever The only resolution offered after months of back and forth was an $800 refund, while refusing to address the issues, despite prior verbal commitments. The doors were also not as represented structurally, with lower-quality core construction than what was communicated during the sales process. Overall: Poor product and manufacturing quality Misrepresentation of materials Missed deadlines Broken promises Extremely poor communication This has been one of the most frustrating vendor experiences I’ve had. I would strongly caution anyone considering ETO Doors, especially if you require true stain grade product or reliable timelines. Unfortunately we are forced to take legal action.
