    I went here to get some Christmas lights because, of course, mine blew. Ace was the only place I could find that had the lights I needed I stock at the store. I had never been in this store much less an Ace in a really long time but the moment I stepped in it was such a cool little shop that I can't believe I hadn't been there before. The employees were above and beyond welcoming and helpful. They were so helpful to the point I think I had the same kid asked me about four times if I need help finding anything; I don't know if he couldn't remember if he asked me or if he was just genuinely trying to be helpful times four, LOL. Bottom line, every single employee I encountered, or remotely made any kind of eye contact with, asked me if I needed any help or if they could assist me with anything. I ended up having Cliff assist me and wow, what amazing customer service. I was personally assisted with every need until I didn't need anything else. WOW! They have a wide array of home-improvement stuff even though it's a smaller store. You can find things from grills to paint to lightbulbs to fun socks and snacks. They have all sorts of little gift and knickknack stuff, to which I was pleasantly surprised because some of it is things that are hard to fine but so cool and unique. That being said some of the stuff was a little bit pricier than you might find somewhere else but again emphasis on "unique". I think my greatest find this trip was a super long funnel to water my Christmas tree without having to bend down and get on my hands and knees to do it; best eight dollars I ever spent in my life, lol. I'm so excited with this fine that I can't wait to use it again next year and everyone I show is blown away at what a great gadget it is - SCORE! I did end up going back because one of the boxes of lights I purchased blew - par for the course for me this year LOL. Ace graciously took them back with a smile and an apology. Like I said, just amazing customer service and I will definitely be back! Thanks for the awesome experience, Ace Hardware employees!!!

    11/4/19 Baltimore Ravens in Virginia,  nice.

    I absolutely love Rockler in Fairfax! I thought I'd try something new and took "Woodworking basics…read morefor women" with Sarah in June 2025. I loved everything about it! I then took 11 classes that I've also loved!! Woodworking basics for women (Sarah), Live Edge Epoxy (David L), Shop Safety Woodworking 101 (Bruce), Cabinet making (Bruce), Make a Cherry Wine Box (David L), Build a Bookcase (Bruce), Shaper Origin (David L), Sign making (David L), Woodburning (Sarah), make and take Christmas Ornament (Sarah), and a make and take cheese board class (Mike) ... I'm sure I'm forgetting a class... all within 6 months!! :) The store is clean and staffed with very knowledgeable, patient, and kind people that all share a love of woodworking. I am thankful for all of those that I have met and all that they have taught me.

    If you're into woodworking and live near Fairfax, this is the perfect store for you. The place is…read morehuge with everything you could ever need for woodworking. I sometimes come here just to browse what kind of tools I may be missing. Rockler has everything from tiny dowels to thousands-of-dollar heavy equipment. What I usually come here for is to get hardwood and baltic ply. The hardwood selection here is great and it's reasonably priced. Most of them are S4S or S3S so in the worst case, I can use my table saw to rip the unfinished side. You only pay for what you need so you can have them cut a longer piece and not pay for the reminder! That's amazing. Note that they only cut longer wood to fit in your car. Rockler currently does not offer planing or joining services. The guy over there said they are looking into supporting such services soon but as of today, that's not an option. Rockler also has wood-turning and other general woodworking classes. There's a small classroom inside the store itself. If you need anything woodworking, Rockler is it!
