Steer clear of Rockler, especially their wood slabs. I really thought if there was someone I could trust to sell me a decent slab it would be Rockler. Wrong. I ordered this $179 slab (+ $20 to ship) and it arrived with a big gouge in the side and was so twisted warped it's almost useless. I requested a return and they said our site says " may ship with or without bark. We would not consider this defective." The no bark was not the issue. The gouge and the twisted slab are the issue. This junk should have been made into kindling to start a nice campfire up there in MN. I spent all day trying to get return info. Finally got it and found out it will cost me $53 to return via UPS. That on top of the extra $20, I have decided it's not worth it. Plus, they will just sell it to somebody else who will be very unsatisfied. It's obvious they don't care too much. I have spent thousands of dollars over the years with Rockler, my friends as well. No more. Really too bad.
