The pickets were pretty uniform in size and dimensions. There were some minor variations in thickness, and some of them were very rough in finish or surface texture, but the overall quality was very good. Had it not been for the rough ones I’d have given them 5 stars.

I read some negative reviews about wet and moldy wood, but I didn't have that problem. Pickets are neatly packed in a carboard box. The finish is a little "shaggy" since the boards are rough cut and not sanded down but that wasn't a problem for my project. There were some cracked and less-than-perfect boards, but all were usable. Pretty happy with the product.

Dimensions of the pickets are accurate as described. The quality of this item is very poor. Out of 13 pickets, 5 of them were in worse condition (moderate and severe cracks, extremely poor workmanship) than the ones I needed to replace. Not what I expected based on the price.

Many of the pickets are no even close to the quality the good ones in the box.. I would say 25% of them are very poor condition. I had to hide the poor ones in spots you couldn’t see that easy

would have been better if they had been at least a little sanded. Each one had to be really sanded down.

These fence pickets are pretty rough - need sanding. And, out of the 13 boxes I ordered, at least 1 full box came in defective - the shape at the top was different and some of the wood was split.

90% of the pickets received were of excellent quality; however, the other 10% had bad knots or gouges and were not usable. This effectively raised the final price for me by 10%. I wish there had been a way to return these for credit.
