They share a space with a florist that is open during the week, so I got confused and thought they opened during the week. They're not. The space is not huge, but it was fun to prowl around the different sections and find hidden treasures from Japan. The owner is really good about taking time to explain what each item is and the different uses, as well as care and handling. This place is such a huge contrast to shopping at Walmart. Made me think of a small town hardware shop that is the heart of the community with people stopping by to have keys made or knives sharpened or whatever random thing they need. These kinds of places are treasures! Definitely worth a visit and definitely worth supporting. Glad I did!

I always feel like a kid in a candy store when I shop here. When it comes to Japanese tools you are…read morepaying for quality and craftsmanship. So I take my time selecting what I need versus what I want especially because I don't know when I will have the next chance to return. I easily spend several hundreds of dollars here buying my chisels and other carving hand tools. It's cool that the worker remembers who I am (excellent service). The owner himself takes the time to show me the various chisels that they have and you can tell just by listening to him talk the pride he has for the tools that he carries.

Customer Service is nonexistent you can never find someone to help you and when you see somebody far away, they feel the vibes and typically disappear lol The parking lot is another anxiety inducing experience. From the aggressive drivers and their huge trucks that don't respect smaller vehicles to the roadway hazards of various vendors walking around or setting up vendor carts near curbs. It's really stressful to be there. I've been cut off, cursed at, and overall really disrespectful for just merely existing and trying to patronize a retail establishment!!!! I'm actually writing this review right now after a very unpleasant experience of almost being hit, and then being flipped off for no reason unprovoked. Poor merchandising, unpredictable vehicle + customer interaction experiences, and nonexistent customer service deems this location really the worst for me to get simple household products. It's unfortunate because I live a mile away, but would prefer to drive 6 miles into Alhambra because it is much more civilized and an overall way better shopping experience than this location can produce.

Hispanic cashier early in the morning before owner gets there, refused to ring up my purchase because I didn't know the price of the items I was trying to buy. They were nuts and bolts kept in little drawers in the back of the store, all mixed up. So I was supposed to go back and try to figure out how much they were. So do I get a paycheck for doing the store employee's job? I will not return there again and I recommend everyone else do the same. read more

I had a very disappointing experience at the Santa Monica Ferguson Home showroom this afternoon…read more I had a scheduled appointment with Marinell at 3:30 PM. I arrived on time, checked in at the front desk, and was told I could browse the showroom while they let her know I had arrived. The showroom was very quiet--there were actually more sales associates than customers, with several sitting at their desks--yet no one approached me to ask if I needed help. I wasn't concerned at first since I had an appointment. After about 10 minutes, I checked back in with reception and was told Marinell was "wrapping up a phone call." I sat in the small waiting area next to the front desk. While waiting, I overheard another sales associate remark to the receptionist something along the lines of, "I don't know why Marinell does this--she knows she has an appointment and keeps chatting on the phone," which suggested this might not be an isolated occurrence. At 3:43 PM, I went back to the desk and explained that if she wasn't available by 3:45 (a reasonable 15-minute grace period), I would have to leave. I had other appointments scheduled that afternoon. I was again told she would be "right over." She never came. At 3:45, I left. This was especially frustrating because I was prepared to spend a significant amount of money on a bathroom remodel and had specifically made the appointment to start that process. With multiple sales associates present and the showroom nearly empty, it was surprising that no one stepped in to assist. The overall experience felt unprofessional and dismissive, and the atmosphere came across as somewhat indifferent to customers' time. I expected better from a showroom with Ferguson's reputation. Unfortunately, I'll be taking my business elsewhere.
