"STANDARD" (NON-SELECT) VS. "SELECT":

ALL of our Doors Use “Select” Grade Wood, However When The Items Are Priced With "Select" Preceding The Name Of The Wood Type, It Means That a Craftsman has Hand Picked the Wood For Best Grain Matching And Least Color Variation.

'Select' Doors Cost Slightly More (Generally between 10-15%) than the 'Standard' (Non-Select) Version of the Same Doors….It is not required, although it IS Recommended, because Color Variations Are NOT Considered a Defect When Ordered in Non-Select. If You Want The Very Best, Go With "Select". It Is one of the single Best Investments You Can Make. Most Competitors Do Not Offer The "Select" Option.

The "Select" Option is not offered by most competitors, including the large Home Center Stores
