Shutters have always been a timeless choice for any home, but they can be intimidating to install without professional help. Within innovative new design, the Simplicity Wood Shutter is easy to install, even for a window novice. Just join the two halves of the frame with the twist of a screwdriver, anchor the frame to the window, and slide the pre-assembled shutter panels into the hinges. That’s all it takes!

In addition to being an authentic solid wood shutter, it’s also one of the most inexpensive on the market. We can’t say enough about how much we love these shutters, and the overwhelming customer response has supported it 100%.

Watch this short video to see the simple installation in action.
