The cut outs are n perfectly cut…. No splinters, very smooth edges, perfectly even, perfect quality! The boxes are awesome too!!! My only wish is that y’all would sell extra hardware for the boxes. I take off the hardware to paint the boxes and sometimes lose a screw or a hinge or something and then unable to find the exact replacement, therefore lose the ability to use the box. The company said they will not sell the replacement parts. They did offer to fully replace the box, but after I have painted it, I don’t want to send it back to be replaced with a new box…. But they always have excellent products and excellent customer service!!!
