Customer Reviews for 1 in. x 6 in. x 8 ft. S1S2E Cedar Board (5-Pack)

Exactly the size I wanted to build the potting bench with minimum cutoff waste.

This is some of the most beautiful lumber I have every worked with. It just couldn't be any better than it was. Well finished one one side and rough sawed on the other. In fact I am going to order this again in a few weeks. I made a planter with the lumber and everyone who sees it has nothing but praise for the lumber.

This was very good wood, except for 1 piece that was split. Luckily I needed to cut some in half anyway.

Description says "grain pattern is tight with few knots" and "Each piece of this lumber meets the highest quality grading standards for strength and appearance" Of the six boards I bought, one could be said to have few knots. The others all were very heavily knotted. One board (photo attached) had one knot that had split the board making it useless for any purpose. One other board had a gouge out of the finished face that was 1/2 deep, 6 inches long and about 21/2 inches wide. It even had red numbers spray painted on this board but it obviously was high quality and could be selected for sale. The only saving grace for this purchase was the thickness of the board. This is what I needed for the job it was bought. Sadly, I cannot buy this thickness from your major competitor otherwise I would buy from them as not only are their cedar boards significantly less knotted they are far better quality, available in store and 25% less expensive. Very disappointed in the quality of this lumber which is advertised as "highest quality grading standards for strength and appearance." What a joke that is. Maybe ordering online allows for the poorest quality material to be shipped. I have to get one more order to complete my project and I have to use this store to get the thickness I require. I am not hopeful of any increase in quality.

A little thinner on the inch thickness than would have liked but did for what I needed.

Extremely great-looking wood, can't wait to use in a project.

Very good quality cedar wood. I'm using it to replace rotted fencing but suitable for higher quality work as well. Boards were straight, clean, and relatively knot free. I bought both 1x4 and 1x6 sizes and am happy with both.

Good quality wood: straight and accurately dimensioned, rough one side and smooth one side, few if any knots. I'm using to replace rotted pieces of a cedar fence but usable for other woodworking purposes as well.

The wood was full of knots, and I could not use it for the purpose I ordered it for. Also, the boards were supposed to be 8 feet long and they were all a quarter of an inch shot of 8 feet. I would not buy these again. I would like my money back.

Well dried. Lots of knots. Seems stable enough so far. A bit thinner than I expected, 11/16”, I’d been hoping for 3/4”. Rough planed on one side, others nice and smooth. Did the job however and much cheaper than what my local lumber store had to offer (which was $7/ft, a bit thicker, and pretty much knot free)

I bought 3 of these cedar 6-packs. The first one only had 5 boards; the other 2 did have the 6 boards I expected. The quality of the boards were good overall, and met my expectations. Count the boards!!

These planks worked well for my garden bed.

Used it for my raised garden beds

This is the second time I ordered this (exact same product name) within a month. The second set was sent with four square edges while the first set had two square edges and two rounded. Now my project looks funny because of the mismatch. The wood is ok; but the consistency is poor.

Expensive, but served my needs for my raised garden project.

Quality was excellent

The product is just what I need

Split ends, splintered sections and short one board. Not very happy

The opened the box and discovered only 5 boards the box description stated 6-pack. This is causing a delay on my project.

Several pieces had splits making the wood unusable for the given length they needed. Required extensive sanding. Purchase for a client that wanted to use Cedar for exterior window trim. Would not purchase again.

Two pieces couldn’t be used because they were split up. It would require extensive sanding to smooth it out, which somewhat was expected due to the low price. Will not purchase again.

Nicely packaged, and boards were all in good shape.

Yes they were just what I needed. Worked well and nice and straight

Please change the image. It is deceptive. It shows a 2x4 whereas the actual product is different
