Many users have expressed dissatisfaction with the wood's thinness and poor condition upon arrival, with one reviewer noting that the piece was so flimsy it could be deemed only suitable for kindling. Several customers reported issues such as splitting, bowing, and other imperfections, like an unsightly knife line, which they found unacceptable for their woodworking needs. Moreover, customers have also shown frustration with the return process, particularly due to the 25% restocking fee and the hassle involved in returning a subpar product.
