​i am interested in buying 100 unassembled deeps and i can save 2.00 per deep for those that are pieced (glued). have any of you had any issues with pieced deeps verses solid deeps?

thank you..

Personally, I wouldn't do it because there is much more glue than you might otherwise use if I am thinking of the right thing you are describing..

Using wood glue on the joints of a box is enough to make me want to use it sparingly as it is. if there are pieces that need to be glued together even more so, I would avoid them. the glue vapors in the heat makes me nervous.

IMO, a Jersey winter like last winter would take a toll; and a Jersey summer like 2013 would finish them off.
