I'm surprised by the reviews because I find the service to be far superior to Home Depot. Whenever…read morepossible, I prefer AH over HD because AH stores are franchised and so feel more community-centric vs the soulless Home Depot environment. If you're a pro needing lumber or building materials, Home Depot would be your best bet. But for regular homeowners, this is a great place to find what you need for landscaping, painting a room, a plumbing or electrical repair job, and/or asking for advice on a DIY project. Real example: I was plagued by a TP roll holder that constantly fell off the wall and walked out with everything I needed to save my sanity - thank you to their staff for taking their time, helping me understand how the pieces worked together as a whole, and for treating me respectfully and not mansplaining a thing!

The moment I walked in, I was stopped from entering past the cashier desk. an employee asked me what I was there for and when I told her she walked me to the aisle. I heard her call for another employee to meet us there. when we got to the aisle there was another employee as she called for. he then asked me what I needed again and I told him I needed time to look. he rolled his eyes and walked off until I flagged him down to unlock a case for me. they weren't treating anyone else like this. my first and last time going.

I just want to send a belated thank-you to everyone at Waldo Hardware for always being there to…read moreanswer my questions, guide me in my purchases, and assist me in any homeowner's dilemmas. On this recent visit, I especially want to recognize Mike L. I was working on a church project and, not being creative, was stuck regarding how to fix ribbons to a pole. He showed me several displays of hardware around the store that might serve my needs. After looking in three different areas, we found exactly the right item! And then I needed an enzymatic drain cleaner, and he walked me through the specifics of the various brands for sale, going through the details until we found just the right one for my needs. MANY thanks to Mike L. for his knowledge of hardware and home upkeep items, for his persistence in searching various areas until we found exactly the right item, and for his friendly, patient and welcoming attitude as we searched together. Thank you for such a pleasant shopping experience! Your great customer service is the reason I return to Waldo Hardware FIRST!

Despite living a…read morehandful of miles north, we discovered it when looking to get somewhere via ebike and the Trolley Trail, and it's been kind of great ever since. I've brought my pup in here as she continues to need some socialization and it always goes well. One time the clerks had their dog too and they became fast friends. This store really packs quite a bit into it. Of course it won't be as sizable as a Home Depot, but man oh man is the experience world's better. I found every single thing on my list which was great. It's closest size comparison to me would be the Ace in Westport, but hey guess what, you don't have to fear for your life in KC's worst intersection if you come here! It's easy to park in the lot out front, off of the always-busy 75th Street. My kids love it because they have a gumball machine, whoopie cushions, and other classics from back in the day when the world was making real attempts to be fun. I think I might even go out of my way again to come back to this spot more regularly.. nice place.

It wasn't even worth the wait or time. If you are going to get a replacement for a window or door glass, make sure they have the sizes. They can cut the glass there, but they don't know how to put in a panel. They do take your old panels and send it out for someone or place to do it every Tuesdays. It wasn't ideal to wait that long just for one window to get fix. I've been to other Ace Hardwares and had a better experience than this place.

Michael the manager and Vicky the purchaser pointed fingers at who dropped the ball and there was nothing the owners would do to help us. Horrible customer service.

His immediate and enthusiastic response was "I finally got to visit Harry J Epstein!". I was not familiar with the business even though I had lived in the Garment District. He explained that as a woodworking craftsman he bought a lot of his high-end tools on-line and had them shipped to Canada from KC because of the top of the line and rare items that HJE carried. He also told me that they will create a wonderful hand drawn piece of art on the order if you request "box art". He urged me to visit and this week I popped in before heading to work. I'm not a craftsman or even a slight handyman, but my visit was amazing. The quantity and variety is mesmerizing and I only visited the ground floor and basement, the top floors I saved for a return visit. I now just have to determine what my carpenter buddy needs as a Christmas present before returning. The journey into the basement was quite memorable, it felt as if wandering down into 19th century Kansas City's underbelly. I feel quite out of touch that it took a foreigner to get me up to speed with a 90 year old Kansas City retail icon. I so glad that such an old business has kept itself relevant and grown it's sales and reputation internationally in the digital age. May Harry J. Epstein Co prosper into the next century.
