> 24 hourUsed these to install my bathroom door. Very nice. These are not cedar shims but some other clear grained light weight wood. They are perfectly milled and you get a whole bunch of them. They were easy to score and snap also. I think they work better than cedar shims.

> 24 hourAfter ordering this box of 84 wood shims, I dont think Ill have to buy more for a long time. I dont use wood shims that often, but its good to have a supply on hand since they are useful for a variety of purposes. These seem to be good quality shims. The only negative is that the wood is rougher than the shims I normally buy. So its more likely that you could end up with a splinter in your hand if youre not careful. You might want to wear gloves just to protect your hands when using these. But otherwise they are fine and I think this bundle is a good value considering how many you get.

> 24 hourThe headline almost says it all, people. For those of you out there who are unaware, my husband is a commercial cabinetmaker. He uses a lot of shims. A LOT of shims. So, when it comes to them, he knows what he’s talking about. When I told him his shims had arrived, he just kind of shrugged and acknowledged me. A few hours went by, when out of nowhere, I heard him exclaim, “These are really good shims,” and he has since told me more than once I “need to give those shims a really good review.” So, here it is, people. A really good review of these shims. Which brings me to the… Bottom line: hubby is impressed, and he does not impress easily. Highly, highly recommended.

> 24 hourI got these to use on projects around the house. The quality is good, and the box is nice to keep them stored neatly. They do the job they are intended to, and I wont run out anytime soon.

> 24 hourI 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.

> 24 hourGreat 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.

> 24 hourGood pack of shims. Easy to break. It says rot and split resistant on the box.

> 24 hourAs a homeowner doing a lot of DIY in my small apartment that has no right angles ever, shims are always in need to level mounted furniture, fill in gaps before spackling, and so on. I dont know if I will ever get through this massive pack of shims but I would rather have them on hand instead of constantly having to head out to a hardware store that often doesnt have them in stock! I cant speak to how split resistant they are but they do seem like better quality than the unbranded ones available at my local store.
