Great local hardware store! They have all the usual hardware/shelving complements, painting supplies, pipe(I made a pot rail), and hobby wood that they will even cut for you. Other housewares are dollar store quality … maybe stick to hardware.

Visiting this store is a refreshing change from the Home Depots of the world. First, personalized service. They are actually helpful. Second, I have never seen this place overly crowded. Third, my total bill is less because I buy only what I need. Prime example: I needed 4 screws. They sold me four. I paid $ 1.20. In Home Depot I would have had to buy a pack of 25 for $ 6.99 and either throw away the rest or clutter my home with the unneeded screws. Thumbs up!

Normally, I would give this store an ok review because its just your basic hardware store(I mean, its kind of messy and hard to walk around, but it has a bunch of stuff and the people there know what the inventory is) HOWEVER I’m pissed. So I bought two fans here in early June for about $ 40 total. After approx. 5 weeks, and within hours of each other, they just stopped working. So, I brought them in for an exchange/refund and the owner said that he would send them back to the company and that that is «inexcusable». So he gave me two of the same model. About five weeks later, and within maybe a day or so of each other, the new fans stopped working. I brought them back in yesterday and was lectured about how I shouldn’t have fans on 24 hours a day and blah blah blah. I explained that I alternate which fans are on when I’m not in my home(I leave one on because my dog is there and I don’t want her to get over-heated) and he didn’t believe me. Here’s my thing, though… despite the fact that it isn’t very energy efficient, shouldn’t I be able to leave a fan on for 24 hours when its hot out without thinking that it might just stop working? I believe my parents have owned a similar style fan for about 8 years. It works fine. The owner of the store would not give me a refund though he was perfectly happy to exchange the fans out again for another set of fans. He didn’t seem to understand that I didn’t want to use the same brand again. He said if I got the window fan for $ 6 extra with the exchange, I could leave THAT on for 24 hours. Nowhere on the window fan’s box or the desk fan’s boxes did it say«BONUS! CANBELEFTONFOR24HOURS!» or «WARNING! MOTORWILLBURNOUTIFLEFTONFORMORETHAN20HOURSAT A TIME!» So he lost my business which was too bad because from the way he fought over those fans, it seems like he needed it. And I was buying other odds and ends there for awhile. Oh, by the way, when I think he realized that his«24 hour» argument didn’t make sense, he said«well, it hasn’t been that hot out, you should have just opened the window». Screw you, buddy, I live in a tiny room that doesn’t get any air current through the window. Its called New York.
