My wife wanted crown molding for the dinning rm. She bought a piece of chair rail molding instead. Should I take it back or can I use it as crown?

1) Sides not beveled.
2) Shape
If you can live with 1 & 2, yes. otherwise no.

NO! The edges are beveled to fit flush between the ceiling and the wall. The crown molding sits at a 45 degree angle to both.

Thanks. I think I will return it and get crown molding instead. I only need about 12'.
