I recently purchased some Hive Boxes that were suppose to be commercial
grade.  The boxes I received were probably the worst boxes I have every
received even to what I consider budget.  I called the company and haven't
received a response so until I do I won't mention their name.   Here's my
question.   What do other beekeepers feel the standards are for example.
Select Grade = No knots, no cracks or splits.  Commercial Grade = Some
knots, no knots that leave gaps or that are following out, no cracks or
splits.  Budget Grade = Several knots, knots falling out, small splits or
cracks.

I would appreciate any feedback on this issue.
