What Customers Are Saying
Customers praise cedar lumber for exceptional durability in outdoor projects like fences and benches, with many reporting reliable performance over years of exposure. The natural aroma and pest-resistant properties appeal to reviewers seeking chemical-free alternatives. Aesthetic appeal and workability impress those using it for furniture and trim, though rough-cut boards require sanding. However, many note inconsistent quality within batches, with some boards warped or damaged, making in-store inspection essential before purchase. Despite quality variability, most customers find the lumber worthwhile for long-term projects.

Aesthetically Pleasing
We are very happy with our purchase. We chose cedar because of the look and the fact that it will last out in the weather. Our project was replacing a fence. It was not the normal run of the mill fence; it has several layers including the double slats. This particular board was part of the final trim. We were able to choose straight boards with no splits. It seemed to take the stain well. The downside was the price, but we like the aesthetics of cedar.
Bad wood
The cedar wood I bought and your associates hand picked is really bad wood and as soon as I can get my oxygen level back up to normal I will be returning the wood..
Cedar at Lowes well priced.
Price and delivered on time.

edges are sharp, not rounded like the pictures
These are "straight edge" 2x4s, meaning the edges are not rounded off. So they're a little less refined-looking, but for my purpose (building a fence), that was OK. Out of the 20 I ordered, four or five had a slight bow but were still usable. All the others were really straight (not perfectly straight, but close).
Reviews are inconclusive
I noticed this product had alot of nothing but star reviews with no narrative explanation of the product. Therefore, in my conclusion, I wouldn't count on any review without some kind of explanation about the product. I also, after looking at every review that did have an explanation about the product it was an excellent to outstanding product ( 4 to 5 Satrs ). However, I would definitely purchase this product depending on my own application and by picking out my own pieces and not rely on a...
Beautiful Results
I make furniture with this wood and I have had remarkable results with it. Yes it is green wood but after planning it down what you get out of the process is a beautiful product.
They hold up over time!
I bought 8 of these these about 10 years ago to build a grape arbor, because I did not want to use treated lumber and I didn't really need 4x4s. I did not sand or paint them, as I like the rough look. They've stood the test of time - grayed nicely, not rot whatsoever! Bear in mind that it takes a while of picking through the pile to find straight ones, so as others have said -- curbside or delivery is not the best option! Better by far to set aside some time to pick some good ones out at the...
Shout-out to Seth
I was attempting to get 4 8-ft 2x4's into my cart & Seth asked if he could help me. He went after a larger cart & loaded my 2x4's, making pleasant conversation all the while. He was super helpful & clearly cared; not just fulfilling duties. Excellent employee!
