What Customers Are Saying
Customers praise the cedar's natural beauty, rich color, and distinctive scent for outdoor projects like birdhouses and garden structures. Many report the wood screws securely, splits easily, and finishes well with oils or stains. However, significant quality concerns persist: numerous reviewers encounter warping, cupping, and bowing across batches, forcing extensive sorting. Several note actual thickness falls short of nominal specifications. While most appreciate the aesthetic appeal and workability, many feel the pricing does not justify the inconsistent quality and dimensional inaccuracies, leaving overall satisfaction mixed despite strong initial appeal.

Warped and damaged
Would Not RecommendPaying $7.5/board foot when it's advertised as S1S2E sounds like it'd be pretty ok, but what the store delivers are boomerangs and hockey sticks, not S1S2E boards. Skip this and go to woodworker source or buy rough sawn from your local sawyer and surface it yourself.

Cedar 1x8 Purchase
Would RecommendPurchased these 1x8s for a front porch project. I hand picked the amount I needed from a well stocked bunk, checked out using the lumber registers. The Cashier was polite, professional and friendly. Overall it was a good transaction.

online order for in store pickup
Would RecommendI ordered 4 cedar 1x8's online for pickup at the store. My son picked them up without checking them, luckily all 4 boards were in decent shape. But 5 of the Balusters and 5 of the 2x4's have to go back due to being warped and twisted and or missing chunks from them. When the Lowe's Associate picked my order, they paid no attention to quality. Now I have to drive 40 minutes to return and exchange them so I can complete my project.
