EN: lumberyard, lumber shop
The hardware store's more specialized cousin. This is where you go when you need actual wood planks ('tabla'), not just a hammer. It smells of sawdust and potential home improvement projects. Your dad or tito probably has a 'suki' (trusted seller) here.
From Spanish 'tabla' (board) + '-ería' (suffix indicating a place of business).
ROOT MEANING: plank, board, lumber
