Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP") for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the six-month period ended October 31, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending April 30, 2024 ("fiscal 2024"). The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2023 ("fiscal 2023") filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Goodwill and Intangible Assets: Goodwill represents the excess of purchase price over the net amount of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination measured at fair value. The Company does not amortize goodwill but evaluates for impairment annually, or whenever events occur or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. The Company will perform the annual assessment on the first day of the fourth quarter unless an indicator of impairment exists prior to the annual date and the Company determines it is more likely than not that the fair value of the goodwill is below its book value. In accordance with accounting standards, when evaluating goodwill, an entity has the option first to assess qualitative factors to determine whether events and circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that goodwill is impaired. If after such assessment an entity concludes that it is more likely than not that the asset is not impaired, then the entity is not required to take further action. However, if an entity concludes otherwise, then it is required to determine the fair value of the asset using a quantitative impairment test, and if impaired, the associated assets must be written down by the amount that the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit. There were no impairment charges related to goodwill for the three- and six-month periods ended October 31, 2023 and 2022. Intangible assets consist of customer relationship intangibles. The Company amortizes the cost of intangible assets over their estimated useful lives, six years, unless such lives are deemed indefinite. The Company reviews its intangible assets for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. There were no impairment charges related to intangible assets for the three- and six-month periods ended October 31, 2023 and 2022. Derivative Financial Instruments: The Company uses derivatives as part of the normal business operations to manage its exposure to fluctuations in interest rates associated with variable interest rate debt and foreign exchange rates. The Company has established policies and procedures that govern the risk management of these exposures. The primary objective in managing these exposures is to add stability to interest expense, manage the Company's exposure to interest rate movements, and manage the risk from adverse fluctuations in foreign exchange rates. The Company uses interest rate swap contracts to manage interest rate exposures. The Company records derivatives in the condensed consolidated balance sheets at fair value. Changes in the fair value of derivatives designated as cash flow hedges are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), and subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. If a derivative is deemed to be ineffective, the change in fair value of the derivative is recognized directly in earnings. The Company also manages risks through the use of foreign exchange forward contracts. The Company recognizes its outstanding forward contracts in the condensed consolidated balance sheets at their fair values. The Company does not designate the forward contracts as accounting hedges. The changes in the fair value of the forward contracts are recorded in other expense (income), net in the condensed consolidated statements of income. Reclassifications : Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period balances to conform to the current year presentation.

Accounting Changes and Error Corrections [Abstract]
New Accounting Pronouncements	New Accounting Pronouncements In October 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2023-06 "Disclosure Improvements", which amends the disclosure or presentation requirements related to various subtopics in the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. The ASU was issued in response to the SEC’s August 2018 Final Rule No. 33-10532, "Disclosure Update Simplification," that updated and simplified disclosure requirements that the SEC believed were “redundant, duplicative, overlapping, outdated, or superseded.” The effective date for each amendment will be the date on which the SEC’s removal of that related disclosure requirement from Regulation S-X or Regulation S-K becomes effective, with early adoption prohibited. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that ASU 2023-06 will have on its condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Stock-Based Compensation

Share-Based Payment Arrangement, Noncash Expense [Abstract]
Stock-Based Compensation	Stock-Based Compensation The Company has various stock-based compensation plans. During the six-months ended October 31, 2023, the Board of Directors of the Company approved grants of service-based restricted stock units ("RSUs") to non-employee directors. These service-based RSUs (i) vest daily through the end of the one-year vesting period as long as the recipient continuously remains a member of the Board and (ii) entitle the recipient to receive one share of the Company's common stock per unit vested. The Board of Directors also approved grants of service-based RSUs, performance-based RSUs and non-statutory stock options to key employees. The performance-based RSUs entitle the recipients to receive one share of the Company's common stock per unit granted if applicable performance conditions are met and the recipient remains continuously employed with the Company until the units cliff vest at the end of the three year vesting period. The service-based RSUs to key employees entitle the recipients to receive one share of the Company's common stock per unit granted if they remain continuously employed with the Company until the units vest. The employee stock options cliff vest at the end of a three-year period and have a ten-year contractual term. Prior to June 2023, all of the Company's RSUs granted to employees cliff-vest three years from the grant date. Beginning in June 2023, service-based RSUs granted to employees vest one-third on each of the first, second and third anniversaries of the grant date. The fair value of the Company's RSU awards is expensed on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of the RSUs to the extent the Company believes it is probable the related performance criteria, if any, will be met. The following table summarizes the Company's stock-based compensations grants for the six-months ended October 31, 2023: (in thousands, except per share amounts) Stock Awards Granted Service-based RSUs 79,778 Performance-based RSUs 155,062 Non-statutory stock options 92,340 For the three- and six-month periods ended October 31, 2023 and 2022, stock-based compensation expense was allocated as follows: Three Months Ended Six Months Ended October 31, October 31, (in thousands) 2023 2022 2023 2022 Cost of sales and distribution $ 473 $ 498 $ 1,051 $ 936 Selling and marketing expenses 476 572 1,084 1,070 General and administrative expenses 1,206 684 2,267 1,383 Stock-based compensation expense $ 2,155 $ 1,754 $ 4,402 $ 3,389 During the six months ended October 31, 2023, the Company also approved grants of 12,199 cash-settled performance-based restricted stock tracking units ("RSTUs") and 6,571 cash-settled service-based RSTUs for more junior level employees. Each performance-based RSTU entitles the recipient to receive a payment in cash equal to the fair market value of one share of the Company's common stock as of the payment date if applicable performance conditions are met and the recipient remains continuously employed with the Company until the units vest. The service-based RSTUs entitle the recipients to receive a payment in cash equal to the fair market value of one share of the Company's common stock as of the payment date if they remain continuously employed with the Company until the units vest. Prior to June 2023, all of the Company's RSTUs granted to employees cliff-vest three years from the grant date. Beginning in June 2023, service-based RSTUs granted to employees vest one-third on each of the first, second and third anniversaries of the grant date. The fair value of each cash-settled RSTU award is remeasured at the end of each reporting period and the liability is adjusted, and related expense recorded, based on the new fair value. The expense recognized for the three- and six-month periods ended October 31, 2023 and 2022, and the liability as of October 31, 2023 and April 30, 2023, related to RSTUs is not significant.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair Value Measurements	Fair Value Measurements The Company utilizes the hierarchy of fair value measurements to classify certain of its assets and liabilities based upon the following definitions: Level 1- Investments with quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. The Company's cash equivalents are invested in money market funds, mutual funds, and certificates of deposit. The Company's mutual fund investment assets represent contributions made and invested on behalf of the Company's former executive officers in a supplementary employee retirement plan. Level 2- Investments with observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Level 3- Investments with unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. The Company has no Level 3 assets or liabilities measured on a recurring basis. The Company's financial instruments include cash and equivalents, marketable securities, and other investments; accounts receivable and accounts payable; interest rate swap and foreign exchange forward contracts; and short- and long-term debt. The carrying values of cash and equivalents, accounts receivable and payable, and short-term debt on the condensed consolidated balance sheets approximate their fair value due to the short maturities of these items. The interest rate swap and foreign exchange forward contracts were marked to market and therefore represent fair value. The fair values of these contracts are determined based on inputs that are readily available in public markets or can be derived from information available in publicly quoted markets. The following table summarizes the fair value of assets that are recorded in the Company's consolidated financial statements as of October 31, 2023 and April 30, 2023 at fair value on a recurring basis (in thousands): Fair Value Measurements As of October 31, 2023 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 ASSETS: Mutual funds $ 185 $ — $ — Interest rate swap contracts — 13,807 — Total assets at fair value $ 185 $ 13,807 $ — LIABILITIES: Foreign exchange forward contracts $ — $ 2,101 $ — As of April 30, 2023 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 ASSETS: Mutual funds $ 191 $ — $ — Interest rate swap contracts — 13,885 — Total assets at fair value $ 191 $ 13,885 $ —

Debt Disclosure [Abstract]
Loans Payable and Long-Term Debt	Loans Payable and Long-Term Debt On April 22, 2021, the Company amended and restated its prior credit agreement and on January 17, 2023 the Company entered into an amendment of such agreement to transition the applicable interest rate from LIBOR to Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR"), effective January 31, 2023. The amended and restated credit agreement (the "A&R Credit Agreement") provides for a $500 million revolving loan facility with a $50 million sub-facility for the issuance of letters of credit (the "Revolving Facility") and a $250 million term loan facility (the "Term Loan Facility"). Also on April 22, 2021, the Company borrowed the entire $250 million under the Term Loan Facility and approximately $264 million under the Revolving Facility to fund, in part, the repayment in full of the amounts then outstanding under its prior credit agreement and the redemption of $350 million in aggregate principal amount of 4.875% Senior Notes due 2026. The Company is required to repay the Term Loan Facility in specified quarterly installments, which have been prepaid through April 30, 2025. The Revolving Facility and Term Loan Facility mature on April 22, 2026. As of October 31, 2023 and April 30, 2023, $206.3 million and $206.3 million, respectively, was outstanding on the Term Loan Facility. As of October 31, 2023 and April 30, 2023, $163.8 million and $163.8 million, respectively, was outstanding under the Revolving Facility. Outstanding letters of credit under the Revolving Facility were $13.0 million as of October 31, 2023, leaving approximately $323.2 million in available capacity under the Revolving Facility as of October 31, 2023. The outstanding balances noted above approximate fair value as the facilities have a floating interest rate. Amounts outstanding under the Term Loan Facility and the Revolving Facility bear interest based on a fluctuating rate measured by reference to either, at the Company's option, a base rate plus an applicable margin or SOFR plus 10 basis points plus an applicable margin, with the applicable margin being determined by reference to the Company's then-current "Secured Net Leverage Ratio." The Company also incurs a quarterly commitment fee on the average daily unused portion of the Revolving Facility during the applicable quarter at a rate per annum also determined by reference to the Company's then-current "Secured Net Leverage Ratio." In addition, a letter of credit fee accrues on the face amount of any outstanding letters of credit at a per annum rate equal to the applicable margin on SOFR loans, payable quarterly in arrears. As of October 31, 2023, the applicable margin with respect to base rate loans and SOFR loans was 0.0% and 1.0%, respectively, and the commitment fee was 0.1%. The A&R Credit Agreement includes certain financial covenants that require the Company to maintain (i) a "Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio" of no less than 2.00 to 1.00 and (ii) a "Total Net Leverage Ratio" of no greater than 4.00 to 1.00, subject, in each case, to certain limited exceptions. The A&R Credit Agreement includes certain additional covenants, including negative covenants that restrict the ability of the Company and certain of its subsidiaries to incur additional indebtedness, create additional liens on its assets, make certain investments, dispose of its assets, or engage in a merger or other similar transaction, or engage in transactions with affiliates, subject, in each case, to the various exceptions and conditions described in the A&R Credit Agreement. The negative covenants further restrict the ability of the Company and certain of its subsidiaries to make certain restricted payments, including, in the case of the Company, the payment of dividends and the repurchase of common stock, in certain limited circumstances. As of October 31, 2023, the Company was in compliance with all covenants included in the A&R Credit Agreement. The Company's obligations under the A&R Credit Agreement are guaranteed by the Company's domestic subsidiaries, and the obligations of the Company and its domestic subsidiaries under the A&R Credit Agreement and their guarantees, respectively, are secured by a pledge of substantially all of their respective personal property.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]
Derivative Financial Instruments	Derivative Financial Instruments Interest Rate Swap Contracts The Company enters into interest rate swap contracts to manage variability in the amount of known or expected cash payments related to portions of its variable rate debt. On May 28, 2021, the Company entered into four interest rate swaps with an aggregate notional amount of $200 million to hedge part of the variable rate interest payments under the Term Loan Facility. The interest rate swaps became effective on May 28, 2021 and will terminate on May 30, 2025. The interest rate swaps economically convert a portion of the variable rate debt to fixed rate debt. The Company receives floating interest payments monthly based on one-month SOFR and pays a fixed rate of 0.53% to the counterparty. The interest rate swaps are designated as cash flow hedges. Changes in fair value are recorded to other comprehensive income. The risk management objective in using interest rate swaps is to add stability to interest expense and to manage the Company's exposure to interest rate movements. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed-rate payments over the life of the contract agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount. Realized gains or losses in connection with required interest payments on interest rate swaps are recorded in earnings, as a component of interest expense, net to offset variability in interest expense associated with the underlying debt's cash flows. For the three- and six-month periods ended October 31, 2023, unrealized gains, net of deferred taxes, of $0.8 million and $3.5 million, respectively, were recorded in other comprehensive income, and $1.8 million and $3.6 million, respectively, of realized gains, net of deferred taxes, were reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) to interest expense, net due to interest received from and payments made to the swap counterparties. For the three- and six-month periods ended October 31, 2022, unrealized gains, net of deferred taxes, of $6.1 million and $5.0 million, respectively, were recorded in other comprehensive income, and $0.8 million and $1.0 million, respectively, of realized gains, net of deferred taxes, were reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) to interest expense, net due to interest received from and payments made to the swap counterparties. As of October 31, 2023, the Company anticipates reclassifying approximately $9.4 million of net hedging gains from accumulated other comprehensive income into earnings during the next 12 months to offset the variability of the hedged items during this period. The fair value of the derivative instruments are included in other assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Foreign Exchange Forward Contracts At October 31, 2023, the Company held forward contracts maturing from November 2023 to April 2024 to purchase 229.0 million Mexican pesos at an exchange rate of 18.91 Mexican pesos to one U.S. dollar. Additionally, the Company entered into a contingent forward contract with maturities from May 2024 to April 2025 to purchase 660.0 million Mexican pesos at an exchange rate of 18.91 Mexican pesos to one U.S. dollar. This contingent forward contract gives the bank the option to cancel these forward contracts in April 2024. Additionally, the Company entered into a target accrual redemption forward agreement to purchase Mexican Pesos across 51 defined fixings. These fixings allow for U.S. dollars to be converted into Pesos at a rate of 18.73 Pesos to one U.S. Dollar. Cumulative profit is capped at an aggregate of approximately $0.6 million over the shorter of the life of the contract fixings or the utilization of the cap. A liability of $2.1 million is recorded in other accrued expense on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

Risks and Uncertainties [Abstract]
Concentration of Risk	Concentration of Risks Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable. The Company maintains its cash and cash equivalents with major financial institutions and such balances may, at times, exceed Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant risk with respect to cash . Credit is extended to customers based on an evaluation of each customer's financial condition and generally collateral is not required. The Company's customers operate in the new home construction and home remodeling markets. The Company maintains an allowance for expected credit losses based upon management's evaluation and judgment of potential net loss. The allowance is estimated based upon historical experience, the effects of current developments and economic conditions, and each customer's current and anticipated financial condition. Estimates and assumptions are periodically reviewed and updated. Any resulting adjustments to the allowance are reflected in current operating results. As of October 31, 2023, the Company's two largest customers, Customers A and B, represented 32.3% and 18.4% of the Company's gross customer receivables, respectively. As of October 31, 2022, Customers A and B represented 31.7% and 17.5% of the Company's gross customer receivables, respectively. The following table summarizes the percentage of net sales attributable to the Company's two largest customers for the three- and six-months ended October 31, 2023 and 2022: Three Months Ended Six Months Ended October 31, October 31, 2023 2022 2023 2022 Customer A 27.9% 28.9% 28.1% 29.6% Customer B 13.0% 13.4% 13.5% 13.8%

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Other Information	Other Information The Company is involved in suits and claims in the normal course of business, including without limitation product liability and general liability claims, and claims pending before the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. On at least a quarterly basis, the Company consults with its legal counsel to ascertain the reasonable likelihood that such claims may result in a loss. As required by FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 450, "Contingencies," the Company categorizes the various suits and claims into three categories according to their likelihood for resulting in potential loss: those that are probable, those that are reasonably possible, and those that are deemed to be remote. Where losses are deemed to be probable and estimable, accruals are made. Where losses are deemed to be reasonably possible, a range of loss estimates is determined and considered for disclosure. In determining these loss range estimates, the Company considers known values of similar claims and consults with outside counsel. Except as described below, the Company believes that the aggregate range of loss stemming from the various suits and asserted and unasserted claims that were deemed to be either probable or reasonably possible was not material as of October 31, 2023. Antidumping and Countervailing Duties Investigation In February 2020, a conglomeration of domestic manufacturers filed a scope and circumvention petition seeking the imposition of antidumping (“AD”) and countervailing duties (“CVD”) with the United States Department of Commerce (“DOC”) and the United States International Trade Commission (“ITC”) against imports of hardwood plywood assembled in Vietnam using cores sourced from China. In July 2022, the DOC issued a Preliminary Scope Determination and Affirmative Preliminary Determination of Circumvention of the Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Orders (“Preliminary Determination”). In July 2023, the DOC issued a Final Determination of Circumvention of the Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Orders (“Final Determination”). Included in the Final Determination is a list of Vietnamese suppliers not eligible for certification. AD and CVD cash deposits of 206% are required for imports from the Vietnamese suppliers not eligible for certification. Many of the Vietnamese suppliers appealed their inclusion on the ineligible for certification list in the Preliminary Determination. Because two of the Company’s primary Vietnamese plywood vendors remained on the ineligible for certification list in the Final Determination, the Company recorded a loss on unliquidated customs entries as of Final Determination in July 2023. The loss recorded in the first quarter of fiscal 2024 was $4.9 million, or $3.7 million net of tax. Through the second fiscal quarter of 2024, the Company has remitted deposits of $3.8 million pursuant to the Preliminary Determination. Based on the evidence provided from the Vietnamese suppliers, the specific characteristics of the product imported and other relevant matters, the Company intends to vigorously appeal the Final Determination that it is subject to these duties and disputes the findings of the Final Determination with regards to the Company. Our last order was placed with these vendors in June 2022.
