I was going to make my own panels, since I am a hobby woodworker. That would have been a huge mistake. These panels are fantastic. They arrived with no damage, so I think the company has the shipping thing figured out. The acoustic foam is very dense and cuts well (I have a tablesaw). The wood slats are attached with staples about every foot, so you will want to get a mini stapler (Arrow sells one if you have a compressor) and 1/2 t50 staples to attach the foam near the end of the wood where you cut. I attached the panels with Mcfeely’s #7 trim head screws which are essentially invisible with great holding power given the density of the foam. Get a Milwaukee #1 square driver with a magnetic tip to make life easier with the installation. Putting up the panels is definitely within the abilities of most folks if you already have the tools. But I was very pleasantly surprised with the price/quality value of these panels.
