Seconds
I'm watching Pawn Stars and an expert says about a chair made out of skateboards: 'It was very popular for these boards to be seconds, there was a guy in the warehouse who just said, hey, I’m gonna make some chairs out of these things.'
What are seconds? Thank you so much!

in this case, it means the skateboards are defective, something wrong with them, not smooth, poor quality wood, etc. So they are "seconds" to the better quality ones.

A general term. Not first quality. "Seconds" are often still sold, but cheaper. The term is not usually used for things that are entirely wrong or without usefulness, just inferior quality.
