First off, can he return them? or can you seal them? I would opt for
sealing them with urethane or something similar. The do leach arsenic and I
don't think that anyone needs more of that. If you elect to return them I
would still seal whatever wood you get to delay the natural occurring rot.
I, myself, am using cinder block since it lasts a very long time and I have
acid soil and the alkali they leach will be balancing.
Just my $0.02
