    Not consistent color

    Ordered five pieces of purpleheart. The color between the boards was very different. Left out in sun to see if the lighter boards would darker but the two of the pieces have almost white stripes running through them. If you want to purchase this item I would recommend going to the store because what they ship you will likely result in some unusable boards.
