What Customers Are Saying

The Poplar boards were found to be of mixed quality. Many customers reported the boards were straight, smooth, and easy to work with, with a beautiful wood grain that took stain well. However, a significant number of customers also experienced issues such as warping, twisting, cupping, and inconsistent dimensions. The overall consensus is that the boards can be a good option for certain projects, but shoppers need to carefully inspect the boards in-store to find the best ones.

Good Project Wood

Would Recommend

Purchased the 24” x 12” x 3/4” poplar for a frame project which has turned out well. Being a soft wood it was easy to plane and circular route to the dimensions required for the ptoject.

Double check length and straightness before buying

I needed two boards at 36”, so I bought a 6’ board. A 6’ board is generally 1/4” longer than 6’. When I got home and measured the board, it was a 1/2” shorter than 6’. Took it back and got another that 1/4” longer than 6’. Got it home and it was warped so badly it was not useable. I took it back and went to a lumber yard.

For nicer projects

Would Recommend

Very good board with no defects. The wood is a little softer than I expected but I have never worked with poplar before so that is likely why!

Way over priced

This pine lumber costs 3 times the going rate charged by lumber yards.

Drawer face

Would Recommend

Nice poplar product that I used for drawer faces. Ordered two. Needed to cutoff about 4" from one board to remove uneven surface. Other than that, item is as expected.

Finding good boards takes work

Would Recommend

Needed to sort through bin of poplar to find board that was not cupped nor slightly twisted. Board I selected was true dimensional lumber that did not need planing but for price, quality of wood is lacking.
