boards (stack boards, wood(en) boards Explanation: https://www.obi.at/search/holzstaffel/ It's not staffeln actually but "Staffel legen" -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 22 mins (2019-12-04 20:54:30 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- On second thought, I assumed it meant stacking boards or planks but I am not familiar with that term and I have nothing to back up that idea.. |
