I'll be getting it bedlined this spring, (debating a color match lining)


I've looked into using TREX before, but didn't use it because its expansion/contraction is a lot more than wood. I think the expansion is more linear than it expanding in width. How has yours held up? Any signs of movement or buckling when butted up against the bed?

Looks nice though. Thanks.
