Some pieces were substandard
I bought 6 pcs 46" and 6 pcs 36". Made a coffee table and used probably 1/3 of total or less.
Overall, these were fine and I'd buy them again. Here are three things to note:
1. The boards were advertised as 4"+ and almost all were actually closer to 5". However, two narrowed toward the ends and only about 3" of width was usable for the entire length. I ended up with slightly less than 24" of usable width after ripping the rough edges (24" should have been the minimum I got) for the 46" inch boards.
2. These boards were one inch thick, not 13/16" as advertised. While this may be a good thing, I had to find a way to get them planed down to 3/4 without a planer.
3. All the boards were really straight and looked better than I was expecting.
Familiarity: I've used it once or twice
