Would Not RecommendI had to dig through about twenty different boards to find just one straight one. This is a recurring problem with Lowe's lumber.

quality change
Would Not RecommendI am extremely disappointed in the quality change of both 2x2 and 1x2 material available. Prior to last month or so the material was usable. This new stuff is garbage and I am forced to go to the competition for my material.

Exactly what I needed for my project
Solid choice for DIY butcher block countertop
Would RecommendI picked out 8 ft furring strips for my DIY butcher block countertop project. After gluing, sanding, and staining, the final result looks great. I saved several $$$ compared to a premade countertop.
It’s wood.

Poor quality
Would Not RecommendCrappy
Gems from the scrap pile
Would RecommendI purchased 2x2x8 for building shelving support in my patio closet. The lumber was from the scrap pile. This by no way indicated that the lumber was inferior in quality. A couple of small blemishes were not significant enough and I used 90% of the board. I have found many bargains for my projects and at great value.
Lumber
Nicer than the big Orange box store and same price.
Non treated
So the wood is good but I had them delivered and if you don’t pick out your own you can get ones with excessive knots,twists, etc. if I would pick my own I would have probably given 5 stars.
