The part was an obsolete one, for which I'd purchased a comparable replacement online. However, I hadn't realized that the part didn't come with bushings. When I tried to get the bushings out of the old cylinders, they were stuck. After a tremendous amount of time trying to dislodge them myself, I thought I'd need to find replacement bushings. I'd already struck out at a different hardware store prior to going to Discount Builders. Similarly, Discount Builders also didn't have what was essentially a specialized bushing designed just for the old obsolete cylinder. Most employees would've just stopped at nope we don't have it. However, Max was incredibly resourceful and skilled, and took the cylinders to a work area in the store and spent perhaps the next half hour getting the bushings out. Miraculous! My rowing machine is now reassembled and working great. Thanks to Max! That is truly above and beyond customer service! Love this store!

Wise demonstrated a level of professionalism that is truly refreshing to see. He reminded me what a great businessperson should be. That is, kind, understanding, approachable, and genuinely attentive. He took the time to listen to what I was looking for and made sure he understood my needs. From start to finish, the entire experience was seamless, easygoing, and enjoyable. His amazing people skills and willingness to help made what could have been a stressful process feel simple and memorable. I highly recommend Wise (10 out of 10), and East Star, through and through! He absolutely deserves and more. If you're looking for someone knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely great to work with, ask for Wise!

My contractor recommended them but I left pretty unimpressed and went elsewhere. The cabinet price…read morethey quoted me ended up being at least a couple thousand more than the place I ended up choosing and they were not as nice either (the East Star ones were particle board while the other ones were wood, the other ones were soft close which these were not, my actual layout ended up having almost entirely drawers on the base cabinets which wasn't included in the East Star price and so it would have been even higher than the quote they gave me, and so on). I was also looking for countertops and their options left a lot to be desired. They were maybe slightly cheaper than the other place ($40 difference for a standard countertop size of 110" by 26") but way less options and didn't look as nice. Mostly they were just not that helpful and I also didn't love their selections. I left searching for other options pretty quickly. I think one reason to maybe come here is the prices but in my experience even those were higher and the quality and selection were worse. In addition, ideally you want someone who can actually help you figure out a layout and make you feel like you want to shop there and I didn't get that sense. Maybe I just had a bad experience but even though I came in having some idea of what I wanted, I definitely did not get the vibe that this was where I would find it.

I really enjoyed working with him every meeting we had was fun and efficient. He's also done a great job of all the follow issues we've had with little nicks and dings to the product and has followed through with the Warrenty. He's a busy man as he's high in demand. But if you get to choose and the time Peter is the man you want to help design your for your needs.
