They dont use closed bag molds here. They have never found anyone smart enough to run the machines. They just chop it in then roll it full of air. There recycled boards are chopped up scrap mixed with resin then glued in and painted over. There is little or no quality put into anything this company makes. Shortcuts everywhere.
