The selection of siding, mouldings, hardwood, wall coverings, etc., is staggering. They also stock stains & sealers, concrete, mortar, sand, and pier blocks. Plus all the nuts, bolts, glues, and screws you can think of to complete any project. I don't even mind tagging along with my husband -the home improvement guru and Master wood worker- because the store is clean and there's so much to see. It's big but not too big and well-lighted too. Nice, helpful people will answer every question you may have. It's a little farther than our local Big Box store but to not have to have that Big Box experience is worth the extra driving. Excellent quality and great prices as well.

Come here instead of some megachain. Support good local business. (oh, and watch out for the post.)

I honestly can't give Brown Lumber enough stars for the absolutely STELLAR customer service I…read morereceived from Brown Lumber Superman, Peter, today. I entered the store with 100 questions, 0 expertise, and a very complicated project. I was a little embarrassed about all of the help I would need, but incredibly fortunate to receive priceless guidance and expertise from Peter. He patiently answered each of my questions, treated me with the utmost courtesy and respect, and is one of the most knowledgeable professionals I've ever met. It's no wonder Brown Lumber's been around for so long. Many thanks for everything Peter and Brown Lumber. I am one very happy customer!

First impressions of the showroom included a rustic oversized live edge dining table, and many cool vintage pieces. Samantha gave us a tour of the lumber inside the warehouse, and was super knowleable and friendly. If you love wood like we do you're gonna love this place! It's loaded with old growth of every size, salvaged from historic buildings and homes. This is beautiful stuff: 100 to 300 years old which makes it more resistant to rot. We quickly found what we needed and Tracee gave us pricing and gave us a bit of history on the building and the business. Soft open 6 months (at the time we visited) the location is the temporary home of Reclaim NW until they find a permanent location. Fun fact! When they vacate the building it will be carefully deconstructed and repurposed. What will take its place is a building slated for affordable rent to teachers, social workers and others that work toward ending homelessness in Portland. Admire the huge wood beams and be sure to look up at the amazing curved ceiling in the warehouse while you're here.

My screen door came back banged up and missing a chunk of wood; the screens almost immediately came out; the trim wood is falling off; the stain is splotchy, uneven, and missing in spots. They also busted the door lock but I went to Hippo and they fixed that. I would avoid this store for repairs if i were you because they do the worst work I've ever encountered and don't stand behind it either.
