  Shopping for (4) treated 6 x 6 posts for our cabin porch, but we didn't like the looks of the material available at the big box stores. We thought we'd try Meek's in Mountain Home, since they claim to be "the builders choice". Their 6 x 6 treated posts did look a little better than the ones we had seen at the other places, but the price was also substantially higher. We thought we'd be getting a better quality product and good customer service, so we decided to buy from Meek's anyway. 6 months later, one of the four 6 x 6 posts has developed a 2" bow in it. The other 3 are still relatively plumb. These posts are not under much load at all, since the porch roof is a lean-to and only spans about 5' total. They were all sealed and stained. It's obviously defective material. When we went in to discuss our options with the Meek's staff, we were told that's "just what happens with treated wood". We were hoping they might offer to sell us a replacement post at their cost, or at least at a discount. They offered us nothing. They didn't seem to want to stand behind their product at all. We were very disappointed with their attitude, and their customer service.

  Response from the owner

  Hello Linda, First, thank you for shopping at Meek’s. We never like to hear that someone has had issues with any of the products they have purchased from us. While we do what we can to ensure both good product and great service for our communities, we have no control over what the lumber does once it goes to the consumer. These past two years have proven to be extra challenging with pricing and quality of products, lumber included. All lumber has the potential to twist, cup or bow and unfortunately, we have no control over this. We can’t say why it happens, but some material is more susceptible to this than others. As a company, we sometimes receive material direct from the mills that are twisting when they arrive. We try to cull out the bad material before it ever reaches the customer, which is why you would see higher quality in the material in our yards comparatively. We try our best to assist our customers in any way possible, but we too have limitations. We hope that in the future we can help you out on other projects. If you have any questions or concerns, you can reach out to the Location Manager at any time. We want to thank you for coming to us for your lumber and local building material needs and we hope to see you again in the future.

  The wood that smells good, the wood you wished you could.
