    Their lumber is always warped, green, cracked or otherwise undesirable. I end up moving the whole lot of whatever board I'm looking for piece by piece to find some good ones, and end up having to settle for the least bad pieces. I'm building a cabinet, and none of the pieces of 1x12" are square or the same width. I'll try Ace or Lowe's from now on. And there is no Pro desk at the lumber area.

    Most of the time I don't find Home Depot Lumber very good--I get pretty tired searching thru the lumber pile for some good lumber. I usually go to Lowe's for my Lumber but still buy all my tools etc at Home Depot. The HD Associates just say "that's what the send us"--Not acceptable guy's--
