Based on the following definitions, it sure sounds like they were "Prefinished Boards" From: https://www.google.com/search?q=board&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8 board bôrd/noun noun: board; plural noun: boards 1. a long, thin, flat piece of wood or other hard material, used for floors or other building purposes.

Perce You said they were labeled as "prefinished boards". Why are you now bringing up specific types of prefinished wood? What exactly are you complaining about? |

"Prefinished Boards" is the "banner" above the bay in which those specific examples are displayed. Even if those items can legitimately be classed as "Prefinished Boards," it strikes me as illegitimate to call particle board covered with an imitation-maple plastic film "Prefinished maple." Perce |

Perce I guess you were expecting us to be seeing the display through your eyes so that we knew that you talking about a "broad category" with specific sub-categories below that. Your OP certainly didn't make that very clear. What store did you see these display at? |
