Nelson Wood Shims - Pack of 84 Bundle, 8-inch, Made with Beddar Wood, Premium Performance, Packaging, Indoor/Outdoor Use, All Natural

I like using wood shims rather than plastic because I can cut them down so theyre not sticking out beyond my furniture legs. By cutting them I can actually get 3 shims out of one. Stacking them in opposite directions gives me more height too. These shims are exactly the same ones they sell in hardware stores. Theyre top quality and I would definitely recommend!

The wood from the Beddar tree seems nicer than the average-tree shim I normally use. Knot and split free, and that can make a difference when you are putting in doors, windows, ....whatever it is you want to be closer than average. Nice that they are in a box - chasing loose shims around is a nuisance also. If you do enough work of the type needing shims, dont hesitate to put this box in stock and not have to run to the big box store at the last minute.

Some of the shims have a pointy edge like the should but a lot of them are somewhat thick at the point edge. Better to get siding shingles and cut the to size.

I kind of love and hate these shims. Lol. On one hand, they are very hard and rigid...much more so than either standard cedar or plastic. This is a definite plus in terms of durability. On the other hand, they dont break off easily. This makes them a little more difficult to work with. This is the only reason I deducted one star. In the final analysis, though, durability is probably the more important factor when constructing something thats intended to last. All in all, this is a good product.

Well made and good size. These are good quality shims from good wood and made in America.

Its a box of wood shims. They are wood, and they shim. I use shims regularly on a number of different projects at home so this box will be great. I wont be worried about running out of shims for awhile.

I have used wedges just like these for everything from correcting a slight difference in floors between two rooms to putting them under my Christmas trees base plate for leveling purposes. Alas, I had run out of them though. Thats why when I saw these, I jumped at the opportunity to stock up again. very economical too. The claim is made that these are better than pine or cedar wedges and I have to agree. They are extremely easy to size without spitting. All in all, Im very happy with them and highly recommend.

I had an idea to use wooden shims for roofing on one of my paintings. They are perfect. The wood can be stained, trimmed...whatever I want. Perfect...five stars.

Great for leveling purposes, installing windows, doors, etc. Though I would dispute the extent to which they claim these are split resistant – they seem to me only mildly so. But these are wood shims and wood splits. If I wanted real split resistance and product uniformity, Id probably go with a plastic or composite shim.

I have only used the generic type of shims sold at hardware stores, so this was a nice upgrade. They are more consistently shaped and less prone to splitting. The price is also on the high side, but they are worth it if you want to spare some annoyance. I have an old home where nothing is straight, so I use a lot of shims for simple projects like door and window replacements. These are extremely useful.
