Star Hardware is a testament to how things used to be and how there is no room or need in small town America for the big box stores that bring very little value to the smaller communities across this country. Where can you go to get your window screens repaired, keys cut and your propane bottles filled while you wait and a place you can carry on a conversation about your home project with an employee that really understands what you're talking about and can offer real solutions and short cuts that will save you time, money and a lot of frustration and ask you about your family or a local event you both attended. I've been to this location many times and have yet to be disappointed. This friendly hometown store is not only convenient with competitive pricing, it gives back to the local community so the dollars you spend here benefits the local schools, community programs, community sports and clubs. Buying local isn't just about doing the right thing it's about keeping the right things alive in your community.

We were very happy to find out that Somers Star Hardware cares A LOT about the health and safety of all. My husband most recently needed his propane tank filled, and called the store to see what they'd be willing to do for a contact-free fill. The ladies there went above and beyond, with so much empathy and understanding. I was so grateful, I cried. (Yes, pandemic life makes me even more grateful for the good people working to make everyday stuff accessible and yet keep conditions safe.) Thank you so much, Somers Star Hardware, for your compassionate personal "touch" (of no touching! lol). We are huge fans of yours!

Carr is a smaller chain that merged with our beloved Brightwood Hardware in Longmeadow…read more Their merchandise and selection is great, and I like the fact that I don't have to walk miles in a store to find what I need. And all I have to do is tell a sales person what I need and they immediately find it for me. They offer many personalized services, such as replacing window screens, sharpening tools, etc., that larger stores do not. I'm hoping they maintain one special section of the old Brightwood store. It was this: whenever I needed a GOOD QUALITY screw or some unusual size, I could always find it. The problem with chain stores is that items like these are made of a lower quality metal and the heads tend to strip when turned too hard. Their new location is very convenient and there's more than adequate parking. And I like the fact that, when we shop here, we're supporting a local business!

Review Summary... Nice people, good selection, check the…read morehours before going, be prepared for a slight markup. Slightly more detailed... Overall the selection is pretty decent...it is nice to have a hardware store of this size in the area (It's significantly bigger than the Ace on 44 in Bolton). Their hours are quite limited, and have often left me running all the way to HD or Lowe's in Manchester for impromptu weekend warrior work...so definitely check their hours or call before showing up. Prices are also a tad high (maybe 5-10% on most things I have bought), but I easily save that in time and gas (when they're open). The parking lot is huge if that's a concern, so feel free to bring a landscape trailer if needed. The people working there are all generally nice, and have helped me load my vehicle with cold patch bags, etc. on more than one occassion.

As others said, the people are nice. However, going there is a gamble. I've left empty handed many…read moretimes and ended up making the trip to Manchester. The store itself is a time capsule from the mid 90's. Check out takes longer then it should because they haven't updated their debit/credit card reader in 25 years. You sign a paper receipt. Update for God sake! How much is a chip reader? Think of the unrealized savings on register tape, pens and time. Kidding aside, I only go there if I'm confident they're going to have what I'm looking for. We're talking rope, a hammer, can of spray paint or an extension cord. Anything else, I'm going to the Depot.

Same cost for 3 or 4. Not sure what happened to customer service but really feel they do not value my business. Too bad to say, they just lost a customer today. I know I am only 1 customer, but with responses like this don't think I will be the only 1. No more cleanings, no more pellets and most of all if someone ask me where to buy a stove, Squire will not be the answer.

I am not sure what happened when Kira M. visited the store, but her experience is not the norm. One does need to get help from one or the owners to find many of the items. There is inventory downstairs and out back in a separate building so it not exactly "self service". My most recent purchase was poles to hang bird feeders. They did not have the style I wanted in the rack next to the front window. I wanted to match the ones I had purchased there several years back. We ended up going down stairs and sorted through several dozen poles before finding the right style. Often if I am looking for a specific item, I will call ahead. They are always willing to look throughout the store to see if they have it on the shelf. There isn't much here in Ashford so it is very convenient having them close by.
