Winning a PB Post contest in 2005 "Labors of Love" (for Labor Day), my hardscape was building a paver path and patio to my wife's home office door. Now it's endless maintenance on the fragrant shrubs and trees, and spray-paint maintenance on everything wooden. They carry many colors. Went there today, and "Jay," whom I thought was a former rugged male model, saw me, and, spontaneously asked me, "How many?" "Huh?" I replied. "How many bags of birdseed?" Wow! How did he know? That's the kind of service I'm surprised to receive. Outstanding customer service one guest at a time. That's Ace Hardware (and me 30 years ago at Blockbuster Video). So, if you're in the area of an Ace Hardware, go to them instead of those two big box stores. Be Kind, Rewind.

Birch Lane, a Wayfair company, took the place of Z Gallerie which closed over a year ago. I used to love Z Gallerie, they had some really nice quality furniture there as well as a wide array of eclectic decor and art. Birch Lane is much more conventional and boring and because of size constraints, they don't have much inventory on the floor. Unfortunately, we left empty-handed, but not for a lack of trying. The staff did offer us the option of looking for other options online and having them ship it to us. However if I wanted to order something from Birch Lane or Wayfair, I could just do that in the comfort of my home. I don't need a salesperson to act as a middleman and browse the website with me. I don't know, maybe I'm just not the target demographic for this store. Overall 3 stars from me. It's definitely adequate, it just lacks flair and inventory.

The salesman Fredy did not disclose the status of their warehouse and we told him we would be paying off the 3 appliances ($4700.00) on Thursday and would be requesting delivery on Saturday (same week). We were told, after we put down 20% to come back and they could meet our requirements. We could not schedule delivery until we paid off the appliances. Fast forward to Thursday, we went in and found they sold us a Frig that was -20 in inventory, they did not have our microwave or our dishwasher either. They said they would have all 3 of our appliances for the following Saturday delivery. We scheduled the delivery, and low and behold on Thursday before our delivery we are being told that they cannot delivery till 10/15/15. Do not buy from these people, go to a reputable company to buy your appliances, these people are liars and will do anything to sell you anything they can, without the repercussions.

Thank you Capitol Lighting for saving our house from the indignity of a not-quite-right light from…read moreone of the big box home improvement stores. (No offense to the big box stores, but I know exactly what those guys have in stock and while some of the lighting is nice, none of it is quite right for our particular house.) The old porch light fell victim today to a new front door installation. Hence the need to find a new mid-century modern light -- and quick -- because along with the installation crew is a stucco and brick repair crew that will be patching tomorrow. Due to the wider width on the fabulous new door -- and the narrower strip of brick remaining -- the fixture could only be 4-1/2" wide. At 5pm, what are the odds of being able to find the right thing before 9am the following morning? Well fortunately, it was NOT a problem! Capitol Lighting is a stocking dealer with an amazing showroom and very helpful staff. Lots and lots and lots of lighting eye candy! And lucky for me today, some cool fixtures that were exactly what I needed.

They said the fixture I bought was in stock and never let me know it was back ordered 3 months…read more When I went to pick out a new one since I needed the light I was told I had to pay in full for the new light and wait until they cancelled the original fixture to get a refund.
