Bought about 80 2x4s for a fence project. Most were straight enough to use but lots of knots, some are cut short, some are smaller on one end vs the other, about 15% were completely unusable and had to be returned it’s laughable how bad some of the boards were. Either way it’s cheap lumber and you get what you pay for. Would spend the extra money on higher quality lumber next time.

This is a #2 common grade, used mostly for fence backers. Most stores also carry a different and better SKU of this same item as well that is #2 Prime. It is often used for handrails and other uses that require a more finished look.

      Warped.
      Needed these 2x4's for a base for a small shed but they are unusable because they are warped. Had them delivered with a bigger load so was hoping whoever picked them out would have picked better. But maybe they were all warped and had no choice.

      If you go to the store and sort through them...
      If you go to the store and sort through them yourself you can get good lumber. If the store pulls them for you you get crappy.

      lumber
      Terrible service!!! Followed the app, checked in for curbside, waited, waited, waited…finally went in and the two folks at customer service weren’t sure what we should do but said because we had lumber, we should have been at the lumber “entrance”…no indication that we would need to check in at another location and the gal inside said, “well it depends on the quantity”, and I asked how I would have known that, she said I would not have…so after waiting 30 mins , while others around us at curbside got their “lumber”, we drove down to the contractors door, was told to ask for Mark…got down there, there was no Mark available, I spoke to a gal at the register, told her my issue, she called someone who was supposedly bringing/finding the order…finally, I said I would go look for it in Aisle 25 (apparently there is no actual aisle 25) as I walked back towards lumber (for an order I placed yesterday, was told in the afternoon that is was ready), I found a guy walking up with my order, I asked if he wanted me to roll it up front, which I did. If you can’t accommodate lumber orders for curbside, than let folks know!!!

        Ordered 2 x 4 and planks online. Guess they decided to give us the crap in-store customers would not buy. 75 percent of the material is warped.

        Best value for framing basement
        At nearly $1.50/stud less than non-PT... cant go wrong with this. Used this to frame my basement... at cheaper cost and works better with humidity fluctuations. Snag these when they're available

          Ground contact or not, that is the question
          Item description says ground contact upon delivery the product tag says above ground only. I'm not sure which is correct. Nice wood with little warp.
