I've learned to enjoy this Praxis location. Bouncing back and forth between Annapolis and…read moreAmsterdam, I am used to The Home Depot's and True Value Hardware stores. I used to think True Value was small! This place is half the size of the smallest True Value I've ever visited in the USA. You can fit about 200 of these stores into a standard Home Depot in the United States. Now that we are in Corona-times, this place is doing well with distributing items you buy online and pickup at the door. In the Netherlands, we haven't been able to shop in non-essential stores since October (now February). They allow us to order online at hardware stores and pick up since it's somewhat essential if your sink or faucet breaks. I am rambling on, but you get the idea. Although the inventory is limited, thankfully they are open and the employees risk their health to work and provide a service for us when needed.

Key duplication takes only a minute although I felt that the prices were kind of high, especially for 'registered' building keys. But then, I don't know how much others charge.

Hasan is incredible. Not only is he the most friendly human, but he is also incredibly able and is…read morean expert at his craft. He advised us on how much material to buy and was able to make us the most beautiful curtains. The product he delivered exceeded our expectations. His skill and attention to detail are rare. We even were surprised with two extra pillowcases from the leftover material. If you ever need any altering, sewing, dry cleaning, etc, I can only recommend him. Looking forward to doing more business with him in the future.
