If it was "select" grade pine, that's about right. Never seen "made in Sweden" on wood before, either. |

Made by IKEA ??? cuple decades agook maybe 3, I was getting drywall from your area of the World... Seems it was cheaper to haul boatloads of gysum out lake Ontario, St. Lawrence river, atlantic ocean to mill in NC or SC (same to me...) then haul drywall BACK to Canada. Sad thing is the gypsum mine is 27 minutes from me .... ------------- 3 D-14s,A-C forklift, B-112 Kubota BX23S lil' TOOT( The Other Orange Tractor) Never burn your bridges, unless you can walk on water |
