The standard size for 2" x 2" nominal lumber is 1.5" x 1.5". Home Depot is trying to make a few cents of extra profit by selling boards that are substantially smaller than the standard size. I went through two separate stacks today, of both treated and untreated 2" x 2" lumber, and the largest that I could find was about 1 3/8" x 1 3/8", which won't even correctly fit standard 1.5" hardware that is made for nominal 2" lumber. Home Depot should be ashamed!!! Do not buy these!

In the case of the treated 2x2, they are 1.5" x 1.5" after treatment. Once they dry some, they could shrink some, giving you the 1 3/8". This is common in treated items, to shrink some when drying after treatment.

Very, very wet. Banded together in a bundle. Cut the bands to get a few boards. One day later they form gentle curves.

Had to go through almost all the boards on the shelf to get 2 that were somewhat straight and without huge cracks or missing chunks

Was hard to find some that were straight and did not have too many imperfections. This lumber also seems to split easily when it dries (had that happen on multiple pieces that I bought after having them drying at home for a few days).
