Good rail but door swings
The wheels are a nice size. I like the rail style. I’m not sure about how to keep the doors from swinging; they don’t stay straight. You may want to check what additional items to purchase for support.

Buyer Beware
Ok a "fairness" update. I originally gave this a 1 star for the reasons I put forth below. Now that I have redone my doors for my space and the wheel size I am pleased with the result. The instructions DO leave something to be desired including one spot where someone manually changed a measurement for wheel placement to something that was wrong. Not counting the instructions I now would give the product a 4-5 star but leave the official rating at a 3 for everything surrounding the product. I would purchase it again (and will because I have 2 other places I plan on adding barn doors to.)Original post: I have a 6' foot opening. So, when I purchased the 7.5' rail length I thought I had plenty of wiggle room. I built 38" doors for an 2 inch overlap in the middle and and inch extension past the opening on each side. I choose the "Big Wheels" strictly for cosmetics. Well...nowhere in the amazon ad or even the instructions does it tell you that the wheel choice adds the necessity of at least a 11.5" overlap. (4.75" *2) (wheel diameter) + (1" *2) (wheel inset on door). Add 2.125" for each rail stopper and all of a sudden covering a 74" opening requires 43" doors and every inch of that 7.5' rail. I know I should have done my homework before ordering (and now past the return date) but I just never imagined the 11.5 inches needed for the overlap. The doors I built are not only 5 inches too short but the chevron cosmetics (or any cosmetics) are screwed up with the overlap in the middle when closed. The amazon ad should include some sort of warning/alert on the single-track bypass door ad telling you to add at least 15.75 inches to the opening coverage for the rail length and almost 5-8"s to each door width.

Great Service!
Great product and more importantly great service. When putting the rails together there is a plate included to hold the two rails together. If you put it on first like the instructions tell you, it is not strong enough to hold both rails and it bends and breaks, so this happened and I immediately emailed the company and they are sending a replacement part at no charge, they took care of it very quick and we’re very responsive, I will put the plate on last now as it is not designed to be put on first, great service and I would recommend this product for anyone putting barn style doors, the finish is high quality as well as all the mounting hardware

Very low quality
I had a very bad time installing this barn door track. Unless your doorway hits perfectly onto the holes in the track to put the bolts in studs I would not recommend this. I had to use screw spring anchors just to install it. This made the round holders pull through the drywall. I had to take the track back down and put large washers between the holders and the wall to keep them from going through the drywall.

Looks and works great
The hardware is very nice and rolls easily (rollers are plastic, but look like metal in the pictures). The install is simple and great, IF your studs align with the pre-drilled holes. This is a problem with all barn door hardware kits, but since it’s soft aluminum, it’s easy to drill and relocate holes so you can mount in wall studs. This kit is also an overlapping door kit rather than a 2-track true pass through kit. Make sure your doors are big enough to your door opening with the doors overlapped. You will lose some door width because of this. I ended up mounting one door permanently because mine were just an inch short to fully close (I built the doors before the kit arrived...oops)Overall I would recommend this kit. It’s easy to install and easy to modify when needed.

Plastic wheels
Did you know it comes with plastic wheels and a main bar is in two pieces I don’t know how to work but I’ll give it a try maybe a review will show up later after I install it

Good quality Barn Door Kit
This is my third BD kit. Like the others it is easy to install. It comes with decent pictograph instructions. Anyone with just a little know how can manage to install it. I had to remove some of the Door frame trim in order to accomodate the proper rail height. I used a 1 x 4 fascia board to replace the trim and simultaneously act as additional support for the rail mounting. While the rail is designed with 16 OC mounting holes, they don't always line up so the extra support helps.
