The 1/16" slices enable fine-tuned adjustments without warping or splitting, and the uniform design stacks reliably. Many explicitly prefer them over wood for outdoor and concrete-contact installations. A few note occasional snap inconsistencies or flexibility issues, but these concerns are rare. Overall, reviewers consider them an essential, long-lasting solution for leveling and installation tasks.
