CDA Wood 25 Square Feet Modern Rustic Accent Real Reclaimed Gorman Barn Wood Wall in A Box Décor Planks Panels with Double-Sided Texture, Gray Tones

Easy to install. Easy to cut and place to look great.

I ended up cutting these down to quarter pieces and gluing them up since nails wouldn’t work where I needed them. Don’t use glue, they warp like crazy with any moisture what’s so ever. I ended up taking them down and re assessing what to use since it’s a bathroom and gonna be moisture no matter what. I’ll use what I have left in a dryer area.

These really are a good value for the money. They’re not “reclaimed wood” that tends to come at a premium and with a lot less consistency, but they look like the real thing! The boards have some roughness to them, but they are pretty consistently cut and color, though the variations in both added to the authentic feel of the wall.We had about 108 sq ft to cover so we ordered 5 boxes (125 sq ft). There were a few boards that weren’t great out of the 5 boxes, but most were perfect, and we were able to use some of the not great ones for the smaller end pieces if needed. We ended up with maybe 8 full extra pieces (just a guess, don’t feel like counting!).We used the gray set, which all came with 5 dark, 5 medium, and 4 light, so we had to be cautious with how we distributed the light ones in the design so we didn’t run out and have all medium and dark at the end. The company website has a design tool which was incredibly helpful, but I still recommend laying them out ahead of time to make sure you have what you need!We used construction adhesive and two 2” brads on every stud. We also painted the wall a very dark gray beforehand, which I think was key to making the imperfections seem like part of the design. We also marked all the studs with chalk. We used a miter saw for the straight cuts and a jigsaw for around the outlets.We COULD have probably finished this in a day, but we have little kids and our air compressor wasn’t working so we had to make a few trips to the store. So it took us basically two partial days to finish.We also used quarter round around the edges, but it actually didn’t look too bad with the rougher edging. Just depends on what look you’re going for! We had a gap at the top so it looked better with the border for us.We just finished a couple weeks ago, so if anything starts warping or falling apart, I’ll update!Edit (Sept 2021): It's been a few months and everything still looks great, but I'm updating to add that we used the leftover pieces for a few small projects, including the base of a riser for our movie chairs. So these are very versatile!

Warp boards or cupping

Wanted something bold for a kitchen wall that looked like someone painted over half peeled off sheet rock paper or wallpaper. Hadn't seen anyone do this for a kitchen wall so took a risk. Easy going up but a few pointers...1. Their website to plan the wall did not work. Had hoped it was a "drag & drop" option to plan colors but didn't work on Smart Phone or large tablet. The website did come out with a pattern based on our wall size which was a bit helpful but spacing out the colors was time consuming.2. Have some glue for the ends of boards not being nailed into studs.3. Count, inspect and separate all board colors, there will be a few uneven or slightly damaged boards (like a knick in the corner, natural knot that caused a small hole, etc.) that are great to cut for smaller pieces. We had 5 boxes of mixed colors and probably 4 boards had imperfections but still got used.4. They can cause splinters so if in an area where kids (or adults) might touch then you may want to polyurethane and will need 2 coats of water based (I didn't want shine) and does alter the grey color to a bit darker.Materials used were brad nails/gun, level, gorilla glue/adhesive, and small hand saw.Totally worth it and quick installation!

I enjoyed using these to create an accent area on my wall, but I must agree with other reviewers here about two things: While the listing shows a variety of about 5 shades with some notably light tones, the box I received included just three different color shades, all fairly dark. Past reviewers have also noted that many of the boards were warped. In my box, they're not warped lengthwise, but slightly curved along the width, making them nearly impossible install the board flat against the wall. I compensated by creating a "shingled" effect, but it's still noticeable when you switch between the different sides to feature both cut styles.

love the looks of the wood

We are very pleased with how our game room wall turned out. The variance in wood colors are significant but complimentary, it really comes together exquisitely. Installation was fairly easy with some liquid nails and a nail gun.My only complaint is that there is some variance in the width and thickness of the wood, making installation a bit tricky at times. We also had a few pieces that arrived chipped and was basically useless to us, so buy more than you think you need to compensate for these pieces. An important tip before installation: paint the wall black so the color behind the wall doesn’t show between the cracks. It’s been almost a year since I’ve put this in and the wood does expand and contract slightly so some gaps are more prominent now. If I didn’t paint the wall black beforehand, the gaps would be much more noticeable.Overall, I’m very pleased with the purchase and highly recommend this. Just remember to buy extra to compensate for chipped or flawed pieces.
