Having been told all product was on sale, found mine not listed on the flyer. Go figure.Manager extended sale to my product. recieved my decking a week later. Noticed a few with damage from strapping. Once I opened the load, 10 of 38 boards had serious scratches, some had imbedded rocks, 3 of 4 fascia not usable..at $100 plus each, handling in the supply chain and shipping leaves a lot to be desired. Sales guy got Timbertech to cover and replace. After nearing completion, needed 4 more boards to finish, specifically asked for new product. 3 of 4 came scratched...again, also realized I had been sold a supersize box of hidden fasteners for 500 sq ft...my deck is 250....so half left. $480 a box..vs. $299 for 1/2 box....so out another $180...yeah, sorry about that man....not going to talk about the inconsistencies in color, thickness, quality of the framing wood.... People seem friendly enough, just not quite customer centric.

I bought a very large beam 6x12x12 but a few days later decided to buy an even larger 16 foot version. They had no problem with my returning the original.

Just the amount of things to try and take in is staggering. All sorts of sizes of wood, but also trappings that have come out former schools and hospitals and you normally might not find. Just one note to be extra careful roaming the property. There are a lot of edges sticking out and watch for sharp objects (i.e. nails) on the ground. I probably would not bring a child in tow. In addition to building materials, there were quite a few quirky items for sale and you never know what's going to be around any corner. Maybe something you need, or, you might find an unexpected treasure. When we visited the hours were rather limited: Saturday 9am - 2pm, so you might want to check the website before heading over.

I was up in the Ham recently helping a friend find a used door for a project, and we decided to…read morecheck out the Reuse Center. Located in a couple of buildings where Britton Rd. meets the Mt. Baker Highway, this large "store" is more like a junkyard full of salvaged building parts and treasures of all kinds. If you're into upcycling, re-cycling, and salvaging this is definitely the place to come! Their selection is unmatched, easily beating out other local salvage stores both in selection of building materials and price. And the owner is super nice and helpful. He truly has a passion for the business and the movement, and it shows! And wandering this property is like visiting a museum - with parts and pieces of recognizable area schools and other demolished buildings, that the Reuse Center clearly, painstakingly took apart, categorized, and stores on its property. Where I struggled, though, was with the unsafe feeling of the property - most notably the dusty, musty large garage/warehouse where much of the wood products are stored. There is a LOT of stuff in here. The aisles are very narrow and all sorts of building materials are stacked high. I know this type of store is never going to be "pretty" like a Home Depot or anything, and I totally get that. But it just didn't feel safe in there, with only one entrance/exit, confusing pathways, and LOTS of combustible materials. I felt relieved when we found what we were looking for and were safely back outside. There's also a cram-packed separate garage area with thrift store type finds, though it was very haphazardly arranged and the items were slightly interesting, again with super narrow aisles that were hard to navigate. The outdoor salvage yard area is full of all things interesting, lots of metal, and would be a fun place to find things if you were super creative with used materials. A lot of it was pretty junky, though, and looked unusable. I can see this spot being a place I would go again if I couldn't find my used/salvaged materials at another location. We did end up finding a door, and at a very good price, so I can't fault them for that. Maybe if they were able to get rid of some of their inventory, it would be a more fun place to shop at.

It had a dent in the side as well, but nothing terrible. I get it, there should be NO dents and scratches, but after loading the 120 pound thing home and unboxing it, I had to ask myself, "how badly do I want to take this whole thing back for a small dent?" So I opted to just go in and pick up matching screws and bolts. Contacted the very unkempt young man at customer service, who told me there was nothing they could do for me and suggested I call Craftsman to have them send me the missing screws and nuts. GREAT customer service there buddy! I suggested MAYBE he help me find replacement parts because I hoped that a place like Lowe's would carry something like screws and nuts. He told me I could try looking in the aisle with screws. I commented that it might be hard to find them and he said he would call someone over. I went and began perusing the screw aisle just across the row from customer service and easily in view of the customer service counter. No one came and I had not found the replacements for over 10 minutes. Not one person had approached the customer service counter while I waited, yet the rep made only the initial call! I finally decided just to walk out, when I walked past a Craftsman tool display. There was an employee working with some of the tools, so I asked her for help. Stephanie was super kind and helped me find the screws and nuts in a few minutes and gave me suggestions for dealing with the dent. Super kind and super helpful. Stephanie is a superstar and the only reason I'm giving 4 stars! Without her, Lowe's just expects me to call up the company and wait two weeks or whatever with a half-built cabinet in my garage-booooo!
