What Customers Are Saying
The poplar boards are generally of good quality, with customers finding the wood to be straight, smooth, and dimensionally stable, making it suitable for various DIY projects. The wood was described as easy to work with and taking paint or stain well. However, some customers encountered issues with warping, crookedly cut boards, and difficulty removing price stickers. The pricing was also a point of contention, with some feeling the boards were too expensive compared to other wood options.

HORRIBLE Transaction. Ripped off for $76!!
Would Not RecommendI placed the order and was noted same day delivery. NOPE. No delivery. Next morning my order was cancelled by Lowes and I was only given a partial refund. No phone calls, no emails other than a rceipt for the full amount. I checked the order status, it showed that a refund had been issued. My refund was short $76! I called and the representative told me I'd be called back and never got the call.

The stickers they put on these boards make for a lot of extra work. Hard to remove cleanly without residue, and hard to get the board stain ready without it being obvious where the sticker used to be. Get ready for some heavy sanding.
