I've lived on QA been using 5 corners over 20 years. Having been raised in a small town of 800 people that had a hdwe store similar to 5 corners I find the following works the same as it did back home: 1. IF I have a problem requiring a hdwe item I call 5 Corners first to see if they have one or more solutions to my need and approx price. 2. I drive to their store (with the assumption) IF they do NOT have or I do not like the item they carry, only then will I drive to another store .. OVER TIME: 3/4 of the time 5 Corners will have hdwe close enough to what I need to save me time and gas...offsetting a slightly higher cost. Five Corners is a real bargain. Use your head! read more

A neighborhood treasure, being the only hardware store on Queen Anne they could easily take advantage, but they don't. They are always helpful and nice, and 99% of the time have what I need. I highly recommend giving them your business so that they stay in the neighborhood . read more

Went to get a hammer and this place is a mess. Just cluttered and unorganized. I'm giving it two stars because it has a lots of stuff considering how small it is but finding stuff is a pain unless someone is helping but it appears that the employees are always too busy to help new people. And not friendly at all. No one said hi and didn't say anything at check out. Customer service should be priority but we seemed to be a bother read more

This is a wonderful, no hassle hardware store. Lots of nuts and bolts for that saturday project. Always pleasant service. They have tools, some home and gardening supplies, and can cut you a new car or house key in a jiffy! A much better alternative to the Ace Hardware on Queen Anne Ave, and a worthy substitute when you don't want to make the drive all the way to Home Depot. read more

I had a wonderful experience here. I called up and the guy who answered the phone knows what he's talking about, then I show up and pick up exactly what I need in just a few minutes. Home Depot could learn a lot from this. read more

This is a wonderful store. I'm always amazed that they have such a wide variety of items and the customer service is always warm and friendly. I am so glad they are in Queen Anne and always willing to help. Thank you! read more

The last of a dying breed, a true, local-owned, old-time hardware store with real service and relevant stock. Alarmingly competitive prices are a pleasant surprise. Queen Anners, consider yourself fortunate to have this rarity and show your appreciation by patronizing it, lest you lose it. read more

I had a very unpleasant experience here. I thought since this was a small neigborhood establishment it would have mom and pop feel with friendly attentive service. Quite the opposite. I had a simple question and was treated with rudness and looked at like I was a complete moron. I would rather drive all the way to SODO Homedepot than go back to this store. read more

As good as it gets for a local, family-run business. We've never had a negative experience, whether it be a quick stop to pick up light bulbs or a longer visit to get paint ideas or thoughts on how to fix something in our home. The staff is knowledgeable, practical, and friendly and we always prefer to support this business than the big box stores because the service is exceptional. read more

The most outstanding hardware store!! Service beyond compare, knowledgable staff and great product. I will ONLY shop here;)

David at Five Corners is extremely helpful, friendly, and knowledgeable. I arrived on my bike with a flat tire and David helped me not only find the right type of paint for my project, but he also helped me fix up my bike tire so I could bike home! I love how Five Corners Hardware has items made in the United States and it makes me happy to support a local Hardware store. No need for a Home Depot in my neighborhood! read more

Thank you True Value for not having to make me drive 10+ miles out of my way to buy tools, light bulbs, and other knick knackery I would need to find at a big-box retailer. Yes, it's a small location tucked away in a side-street -- but guess what? The Queen Anne location doesn't translate into Queen Anne pricing (unlike its neighboring shops). For things like picture frame nails, light bulbs, paints, tapes, etc. the prices were comparable to Lowes, Home Depot etc. which I appreciated. read more

Your standard True Value. Great customer service, friendly and knowledgeable staff. A good range of parts for the large majority of the jobs most people do. Prices that are slightly larger then the mega hardware stores. read more

Old timey feel. Very nice helpful staff. They have what you need and then some. All in a quaint neighborhood location. Love getting what I need here, rather than the big box stores! One example of the last item purchased there was line for double hung widows for our 100 year old Condo. This is not something you can find just anywhere. They not only offered off/white which I used for a bedroom but they also had a white with a little black color twisted in it for decorative flair that I used in kitchen! Clever buyers here :-) read more

They act like it's a trouble and inconvenience to help you. You'll see other reviews that say the same thing. Will never go back.

I love this place. Just moved back to Queen Anne and forgot how amazing this store is! Now that I am back, they see me almost weekly and there seems to really be nothing they don't have. Honestly. I love Dave, he has walked me through cleaning my lawn mower ( since I was silly enough to put the wrong gas in) by removing filter, changing the spark plug and draining the wrong gas from the engine. He just walked me through changing my toilet fill valve. He even let me take a video while he walked through the steps so I could refer back to. Being a single mom these little task fall to me and to be honest, I am not "handy" in anyway. I am so grateful for this store and the amazing and down right knowledgable staff. Also folks the prices are great too. I can't tell you to go visit them enough! Happy 75 yrs True Value and thanks for having such awesome and caring staff! You guys are AMAZING read more

Sweet, friendly, down-home feel. They've got lots of day to day hardware stuff. I'm a big fan.

They recently offered to replace all the tools that were stolen from the Puget Sound Labor Agency (about $5000 worth), which were used to build wheelchair ramps for families in need. Seattle isn't always a warm and fuzzy place, but this is a fantastic reminder that there's a great community here. Way to go, Five Corners. I'll buy stuff from you all the time now. http://mynorthwest.com/108/2845526/Seattle-hardware-store-offers-to-replace-stolen-tools-for-nonprofit read more

I have never changed a toilet seat in my life. But when I had trouble taking the broken one off, a trip to True Value Five Corners was the perfect solution. Dave gave me great tips to try (the first one worked 2 minutes after getting home!). They really look after their customers. I love the mom'n'pop feel of the store but knowing I can get just about everything I might need for quick projects is awesome. read more

I honestly can't say enough good things about this place. David went above and beyond to help me find a solution to replacing the front trim that had been detached from the hood of my car. In the end I ended up finding the part affordably through Amazon and David personally helped me attach it to my car outside the shop. This place brings back hometown heart tenfold. I'd come back without hesitation and recommend their store to anyone that asks. read more

The woman who helped me was very knowledgeable about my woodworking project and helped me with tips and tools. Good prices and great service. This is now my go to hardware store. read more

I'm constantly using is store to pick up supplies for home-improvement projects. The staff are always friendly and helpful and know the answers to my needs. I've been going here for the past year and would recommend them. read more

We've lived on QA Hill for over a decade and the folks at Five Corners True Value have been consistently awesome! They have seen us through a remodel and countless home updates, repairs and garden projects. The help and customer service they give is top notch. I've learned a lot from them over the years and appreciate the time and care they give to make sure things are just right. They just recently started carrying Benjamin Moore paint so it keeps getting better. So grateful for their knowledge and considerate service. read more

I have been going to 5 Corners Hardware for the last 16 years. They have helped through many projects of mine. They are friendly, attentive and very helpful. They have always been my first choice when I need anything from the hardware store. Give them a try, I bet you will keep going back. read more

Great service, and had everything I was looking for. The gentleman manning the register even gave me a quick how-to lesson on reloading up my weed wacker cord instead of selling me the more expensive replacement unit. Pricing was analogous to any big place, and I like the neighborhood atmosphere of this little place. read more

Just moved to the neighbourhood, and found everything here I needed to fill in the gaps- cast iron skillet, Command hanging supplies, mop, laundry supplies, nails, bike locks. They have small appliances in addition to a full range of hardware. So glad I wandered in! read more

I've been to Five Corners Hardware several times, all for very different reasons. Everyone there is always very helpful! Recently David went above and beyond to help me with a project, which thanks to his help turned out beautifully. I would definitely recommend Five Corners Hardware. I am lucky they are in my neighborhood. ~Susan read more

This one time, I was locked out of my house and walked up to the hardware store crying to see if they had a lockpick or something. Whoever was working there helped me find a locksmith, gave me a free drink, drove me back to my house, and would have helped me climb up to a window if one had been accessible by ladder. They're great people! read more

Love this place! They have an amazing selection with truly helpful people that work there.

I've been using 5 Corners Hardware for a few decades. They always have good ideas on how to do things. The people are great, especially David. read more

Five Corners is a true gem!! Everything you could want in a neighborhood hardware store, and plenty of valuable applicable advice as well. In my case, I was mounting a kitchen rack on a granite tile surface, requiring a great deal of care. The Five Corners staff were their usual helpful selves, and I was able to successfully complete my job in less time than I anticipated. I strongly recommend Five Corners! read more

It's important to have a well-run, reliable hardware store wherever you live. Sometimes the two big boys (Lowe's & HD) lack certain tools & bits I need. Lo and behold, this store has it in stock. Or they will find something with which you can use in it's place. Case in point: I was repairing an old air conditioner that was missing some important parts. One of those parts was a specific sized drain grommet. After striking out at both Lowe's and HD, I was ready to give up. But while driving home I passed by 5 Corners Hardware and decided to throw the dice. Did they have the elusive grommet I so needed? No. They did one better actually. Without hesitation, one of the staff found an adaptable grommet with multiple diameter sizes used for drainage hoses! Unfreakinbelievable! This guy quickly improvised a solution to my problem and introduced me to a part I never knew existed. Score. read more

I love neighborhood hardware stores. I like wandering through them. I like looking at stuff. I like that they have the stuff I need to change a lightbulb or install a shelf. I like that they have more stuff crammed into every nook and cranny in a place the size of a postage stamp so I don't have to drive out to the burbs and walk the length of three football fields to find a lightbulb. Except this place isn't like that. It's small, but what few shelves they do have are mostly empty. I would like to say I've experienced the friendly, neighborhood service that others are describing to make up for the lack of stock, but I wonder if I've walked into an entirely different shop. I've been there three times and each time the embittered woman behind the counter greets me with a glare and the first words out of her mouth are usually, "Nope, don't got that." The first time I was looking for screws. Poking around in their little drawers, I found that, actually, they did have what I was looking for. First visit. The second visit was for those little plastic thingiemajigs that are not toggle bolts, those are expressly forbidden by my lease, but you know what I mean, the blue sleeves for holding screws into plaster? "Well, we can't carry everything." Strike two. And the thing that gets me is that she seems to take such perverse joy in turning away my patronage, as if she is personally determined to drive her employers out of business. Today was strike three for me. "Yup, we can order that, but you'll have to buy twelve quarts. Or six gallons." Maybe I just don't look Queen Anne enough. Maybe this is the Seattle Freeze that everyone has been warning me about, that I have not experienced outside this hardware store. Maybe she was just having a bad day. All three days that I've been in there. You can't say I didn't give them a fair shot. Guess it's out to the burbs and the orange vests for me. Sigh. read more

I love this store! No driving long distances and entering huge stores where you take your chance on finding someone who knows (or cares) anything about the merchandise you want. I am constantly pleasantly surprised at the variety of products that I find that exactly meet my needs. Brian and staff go out of their way to make sure you get what you need--whether you are a contractor or a DIYer. I always leave satisfied! read more

As another reviewer said this is the kind of store that makes for a hometown feel in the neighborhood. The staff is friendly and helpful and the open drawer, unpackaged, old fashioned hardware store feel is a treat. It's like going into the hardware equivalent of an old bookstore. Being new to the Queen Anne neighborhood, this is now my go to hardware store. read more

Well, I can't say I'm very happy. I went in looking for dry wall screws for metal studs and she gave me ones that work in wood. Granted now I know better (I have a carpenter), but that's sort of what employees are for. Now my contractor has to come back tomorrow and as a small business owner, this sets me back. Unless you speak carpentry, buyer beware when it comes to this place. Home Depot was MUCH better! read more

The 5 corners hardware store is an amazingly handy asset to have in the community. As other's have said it's the place you can go if you need something in a pinch. Their stock cant rival that of a major box store but it doesn't have to. Instead they have what most of us need when you are after those essentials that can so easily be forgotten. The staff is always kind and has always done their best to help with any project I've brought their way. read more

Wow, cool old fashioned hardware store. Drove by today and saw a 50% off sale. Picked up a Belgian wafflemaker and coffee grinder for 8.50 apiece! I don't drink coffee but it grinds nuts and hard cheeses. Then it was off to Cash and Carry for wafflemix. Okay I just made my first batch and they are awesome! Going to try berries in the waffles tomorrow. read more

Five Corners Hardware is the only hardware store where I can walk in, ask for something that I know so little about, and not feel embarrassed or awkward. I haphazardly describe what I'm looking to accomplish and they ALWAYS have helpful suggestions without being even remotely condescending. I always leave with a smile on my face and a solution to my problems. THAT is what I consider perfect service. read more

I didn't know that this kind of hardware store still existed until moving to QA a few years ago. They have helped me with everything from socializing my puppy with petting and dog treats, to taking the time to help me install a safety belt on my toddler's new tricycle. Needless to say, I highly recommend supporting this small business. They are fantastic! read more
