The scale and selection are right in line with it big-box orange competitor -- lumber, tools, plumbing, electrical, garden, all the usual suspects -- but the vibe is completely different. Staff actually know where things are, the aisles are organized like someone cares, and you don't spend half your visit wandering around hoping to find a single employee. The variety is impressive for a store this size, especially in the garden and home‑repair sections. It's the kind of place where you walk in for one item and walk out with five because you suddenly remembered three projects you've been putting off. Prices are fair, the store is clean, and the checkout lines move quickly. It's big, it's well‑stocked, and it's refreshingly competent.

With everything from clothing, tools, gardening stuff, plants, cleaning supplies, paint, and of course pesticides. The aisle I was looking for is called the death aisle.

I arrived about two hours later, but my order still wasn't ready. I waited at the front counter for another 15 minutes before someone finally came to help.

I spoke with the manager, but she showed no concern and offered no helpful solution. If Ace cannot fulfill an order, the customer should be notified immediately--not left waiting at the store.

I have flatly said, I don't need your help, then they're defensive and insist 'I'm just trying to help you!'

Lowe's -- Five Stars Great Store…read more I recently went to Lowe's because I was looking for things for my garden, especially the plant section, and I have to say, there was a lot to love! The store was clean and well stocked, and they had fresh plants, plant food, cleaners, tools, and just about everything I needed for my garden. I really appreciate having a store like Lowe's in our community. I did find the store a little confusing to navigate, and it seemed like they were having a difficult day because several employees had called out. I understand that things happen, but there was something I noticed that I think management should address. I heard employees talking negatively about another employee while customers were nearby. That really isn't a good practice. Everyone has difficult days, but conversations about coworkers should be kept private and away from customers. A positive atmosphere makes such a difference in a store. I also have to mention the self-checkout registers. I found them difficult to understand, and I imagine they could be confusing for older customers -- and probably some younger customers too! I personally think it's nice to have an employee at the register to greet customers, help them, tell them about specials, and simply provide that warm human connection. Despite those concerns, I still want to give Lowe's FIVE STARS because the store was clean, the selection was wonderful, and I found everything I needed for my garden. Thank you, Lowe's, for providing such a great store and wonderful products for our community. Oh another thing that I forgot to tell you about is Lowe's has a military discount for anybody that were prior military or in active duty they also have some of their plants on sale because the season is almost over with you can get some great deals here at Lowe's!!!!!!! Five stars from that Review Lady! Keep up the good work -- and let's keep those employee conversations positive and customer-friendly!

However when I got to the location where the hand truck was in the city, realized the small stretch of hose you need was missing from the side of the bottle and the bottle was unsealed. Someone already tried to use this and also found hose was missing. I had to go back to Tukwila, and the Asian lady at customer service with black and gray hair ARGUED with me and said it doesn't come with a hose. She was extremely rude and combative. I told her the instructions on the bottle explicitly stated that there is a hose and you can clearly see the indent area on the bottle where the hose is supposed to be. She only reluctantly gave me a refund. And I'm sure just put it back on the shelf so someone else can buy it and get screwed. This lady shouldn't ever have a job involving customer service. She acted like it was her job to insult and drive away customers. If that's the case, good job. Even though I live a block from this store, I'll get what I need from Target, Home Depot or Amazon. If there's a hell, I'm sure there's a Lowe's there just to make eternal damnation even more painful.
