I was in the area and stumbled upon University Hardware. I was looking for Ball glass jars, one can never have enough of these wonderful jars. I found different sizes and nicely priced. This store had just about everything, there are aisles and shelves galore to find what you need and items you didn't know you needed.. Staff is very friendly and ready to help. The checkout process is fast and easy. Take 1 train to Columbia University stop, 5 minute walk. If you're hungry after browsing and buying, there's Tom's Diner ( Seinfeld) nearby.

My five year-old wanted to buy a purse at this store. She paid cash and when she got her purse, and when we got out of the store, she realized that the button was broken. I returned, and without question, he immediately replaced it, and also offered to order one with the exact same color at no extra charge. The immediate attention to customer satisfaction was a welcome refreshing interaction at a store. In a time when things are so corporate, it's nice to know they're still a bit of real New York on the upper west side.

I regularly come here for a few household items. While it's not exactly the cheapest and can trend a little pricey for a discount shop, the prices are nothing too steep.

My wife and I recently moved into a new apartment, and we were looking for something quick and inexpensive to start off with and we'd build up from there. I purchased some items that I wasn't sure if it would work with what we needed/sizing etc. Before I left the store, I asked if I could return these items if necessary and was told yes. I returned after a couple days with a couple items that I didn't need and was denied (even though I was told that I could return these things). I ended up speaking to a very rude manager who didn't help and was also saying things that should not be typed here. Apparently, some of the items were on sale and the cashier wrote "final sale" on the receipt. While I understand the reasoning behind this, I tried to explain that I was given false information. I understand that I was stuck with my purchase, but my main complaint is about the customer service I received (or didn't receive). I suppose since we live in the Bronx, we are just second rate customers who do not deserve customer service, and as such, they should not deserve our business.

I have been to many stores that look like this anywhere from New York to Paris. To others, who are used to to Big Box fabric shops such as Joann's Fabric, this place may seem chaotic. I was so blown away by their prices, that I filled a luggage with my purchases and paid the $30 bucks fee to bring it home to Florida and I still saved a ton. They have everything! No real order, or like we say in Spanish: No tiene pies, ni cabeza. But you can see a little where they tried to organize their chaos. The store is very small and they just have a lot. I also saw a basement where I could see home fabrics, didn't look into them. The sales associate who helped me was also super nice and friendly. Gave me a little extra discount too since I got quite a bit. This shop will be my first stop on my next trip to the Big Apple!

Last Valentine's Day it came down to the wire for me and I needed a special gift for him. I called Robin and asked if she would put some items together for me, not exceeding $50. I was impressed with her thoughtfulness in doing so. She enquired about what he would like; selected some items; sent me pictures and even offered to keep her doors open beyond her usual hours so I can pick up the gift which was so beautifully wrapped with her signature wrapping and red "heart' Valentine's ribbon. Feeling amazed I told Robin how wonderful it feels to get this type of service. Her response was "it's what I love doing". My bf loved the items: of creams, a coconut body butter, lip balm, soaps, incense sticks(free:) Truly, Robin is a God sent; she loves what she's doing; she does it with finesse.
