There is a store here in Cincinnati that specializes in buying wholesale lots of building supplies. This particular moldomg is one of their specails. We got it for aound $0.40/foot. The wife and I have replaced all the toe-kicks (kitchen and bathroom) with it. It stains up nicley, except it is finger-jointed, but for the price Everytime my wife goes to this store, I know it's going to be a week's worth of work, if not more, for me. We're just about to run out of places to put crown molding. Now "we" are starting on two and three piece crown. Hey, but for about a tenth of the price the major home improvement stores charge, it's pretty damn cost effective.......Colin
