IMO, it is pretty much crap at both stores, * Find a good lumber
yard if you can.

Exactly. Where I'm from the smaller operators offer a better
selection / grade / quality and lower price - and to keep up with the
BB stores offer next day, free delivery.

They buy it locally, so I would expect different stores to have different
quality.

Around here I can find good stuff at HD if I pick through the piles a bit.

About 20 years ago a Grossman's store found it wasn't selling any lumber at
all. Turns out the decent stuff had been picked out and they had racks full
of crap; so their inventory system didn't order any and no one would buy
what was there.
Sounds like a myth, but it actually happened.

Around here, Lowe's is distinctly better than HD, so it pays to simply
show up and look.
