I had them cut down some birch plywood for me, and their cuts were actually square and straight. And the saw blade was evidently sharp -- good clean cuts. I am very pleased. They keep this up, they keep my business for sure. Happy to recommend.

Hatboro Lumber is a life-saver. We needed a new piece of wood to support a seat cushion on an…read moreantique gossip bench. We called all of the likely and several of the unlikely suspects in search of someone who could supply the goods and services that we required. Finally, we stumbled upon Hatboro Lumber, which is an old-fashioned lumberyard that provides old-fashioned quality service. They will cut wood and laminated products to order (try getting that service at Lowe's or Home Depot) and the fee per cut is surprisingly reasonable. Hatboro also stocks mahogany and other furniture-grade woods. All of the employees are super helpful. Hatboro lumber is a huge asset to the neighborhood and community.

I have never had a kitchen built for me before and visiting MSI might be the most memorable part of…read morethe experience in only the best way. The gentleman who helped me first walked me into the area with the big stone slabs. He explained just enough that I wasn't overwhelmed with information but I knew a bit about my choices, then he left me alone to browse. I can't explain the wonder of seeing huge slabs of stone and being set loose to select the one I plan to live with for hopefully at least 20 years. I wasn't looking at samples; I was selecting the actual huge slab(s) that would be in my kitchen. I think he left me alone for about 20 minutes as I wandered up and down the aisles. At first, I wasn't sure that somebody with no experience should be making this big a decision. As I kept looking and admiring the beautiful colors, striations of some stones, speckles of others and imperfections that at times I didn't like and at other times seemed to add character, I realized that I could rule out many of them as beautiful, but not right for my kitchen. When he returned, he saw I was still looking and was about to leave me alone, but waited to be sure I didn't have questions. I had questions. The answers helped me narrow my choices a bit more. The one thing he couldn't tell me was about pricing since that's left to the company that takes the stone and makes the countertops. He left me alone for a bit again before returning. I had started spreading my fingers and putting my hand on slabs that called to me. Two just felt right; I can't explain it. One was a dark grey granite with a tiny bit of micah that added a hint of sparkle without being loud. The other was a quartzite with striations charcoal blue similar to the color of my walls, a rusty brown that echoed the color of the open beams and ceiling in the kitchen with some offwhite as well. I was torn, but felt that the quartzite looked amazing in the showroom, but might look busy with the style of my kitchen. The contractor who told me about MSI had mentioned thaI would wear a hardhat while there. I told a young man who is very dear to me, like a godson about that and he wanted a picture. Where I was in the showroom I didn't need a hardhat, but the cherry on top was that I put one on and the gentleman who helped me snapped a shot for me to send. At this point, I had the information on both choices to go to Ideal Tile and ask about pricing and next steps. It turned out that the granite was a fraction of the cost of the quartzite. Also, when I touched the granite slab, I could feel my hands leaning on the counter, could imagine setting out dishes for guests to enjoy and sensed the comfort it brought to me. In the end I chose the granite. I know this review sounds a little over the top, but so was the experience! Again, I can't explain it.

The showroom (I'm in Phila) is brand new and user friendly, the people there are impossibly nice,…read moreaccommodating and patient (thanks Debra), and the selection is absolutely fantastic quality. If asked, they will advise you of any evident flaws they see in a particular slab you might be interested in. If you don't find just what you are looking for in Phila, MSI also has a (I assume larger) facility in Edison NJ. MSI is the supplier of stone for many of the stone fabricators in and around Philadelphia, so you might as well go here first for the best selection. You can use their web page to look through actual photos of most of the slabs they have in stock, and the photos are clearer than most of the similar photo websites that other stone providers have. I am an actual customer, who has visited 5 other large stone suppliers, and this place is the best I've found.
