Always go to the store and look. And bring a tape measure. 1 out of five boards you look at are going to be bowed, twisted or "kinked." Come on.

This is not a 2X2. A standard 2x2 is finished at 1.5 x 1.5 inches. The ones I received were undersized at 1.25 x 1.25 inches. Therefore, they do not match the rest of the trim on my deck that they were supposed to replace. Also, both pieces had a serious "kink" in them. They were not even moderately straight. This meant that one of the new trim pieces on my deck has a visible "kink" in it, in addition to being obviously smaller that the existing pieces next to it. If I hadn't been under time pressure to get the job done, I'd have returned them. In the future, I won't buy a piece of lumber I cannot inspect myself prior to purchase.
