I called the Clive location, and the young man who answered was very helpful and connected me with Mia by phone. We set up a time for her to come to our home. She was on time, super nice and skilled with color - How fun! She asked helpful questions, and both my husband and I feel like she tapped into what we're going for, while saving us a ton of time. There is no cost for the service, yet they ask that you purchase your paint from Sherwin-Williams for the project. I am happy to get our paint here, now. What an effective, productive set up. Thanks, Mia!

We would talk to sales associates who were clueless and would subsequently sell us the wrong item. A case in point was some pie hinges for our new custom kitchen cabinets. When I finally was so frustrated with the home improvement stores, I walked into the Woodsmith Store and they knew immediately what I needed. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable and actually seem to be woodworkers, not just clerks wandering aimlessly. While there I also visited the garden center and was awed by the selection and the knowledge of the staff. I will be back time and time again!!!

I've been painting homes for nearly 30 years now and had to laugh when the store manager Brittany, tried to tell me how the paint samples Sherwin Williams provides don't really match their actual paint products. We had a situation where paint mixed at the Douglas Ave. store in Des Moines was clearly different than the Sherwin Williams paint sample provided. This led to 4 hours of paint crew time lost applying a bad color mix from this store. After several phone calls and a return trip to give the store an opportunity to offer a remedy; for instance, store credit for the cost of bad paint etc. any remedy at all really, store manager Brittany doubled down on her bad product and service. Naturally paint sales are final for obvious reasons, but when your Douglas Ave Des Moines, IA store jacks up the mix, costs customers and contractors time & money, doing the right thing seems so simple.

The store is really clean, and there were actually employees walking around being helpful. What I like about these sized stores is that you can find your way around and things are geared more to homeowner type projects instead of contractors or renovations. You want to come here for those smaller projects, or if you need advice on something in your house. I wouldn't come here to buy yards of topsoil or huge piles of lumber. For us, it was in and out in 15 minutes to buy a hose, some seed and fertilizer. Prices were good (be sure to check out their house brand - it was cheaper than the big brands), and I found the selection to be good as well. Oh, and they rent tools if you need them - especially garden stuff (like sod cutters or rototillers)

I didn't want to pay the $$$ get the dealer replacement. I'd been to other hardware stores that had the right width of screw, but way too long. Anyway, I decided to give this store a try. I walked in and the person at the counter asked if I needed help. I told him what I was looking for. He directed me to the correct aisle, which end, and which side of the aisle. When I got there, there was already another employee there helping someone else. After he finished with the other customer, he asked if I needed help. I showed him my key fob and went to work to find something that would fit. Eventually, he found one and even screwed it in for me, which was great because I definitely don't have a hex wrench small enough for that screw. In the end, my bill was 99 cents plus tax. What a great deal, and great customer service!

Ok maybe a bit high for small sets of those two types of tools, but, they are good quality, and I want to be able to depend on them. As always, I parked in a handicap spot just outside their "In" door. I knew I could come back out that same door, as I've done it before, and have seen others do it every time I visit a Menards. There's also a shorter walking distance from the handicap parking space to that door, so given the situation with my lower back, it should all make sense, right? Ooooh but no. NOT to a Menards worker this morning . We went through a check out lane to pay, and since the registers are clear at the other end of the store,...and since I parked at the opposite end, i thought I would "kill two birds with one stone" as it were, and return the courtesy mobility scooter and get it plugged back in, and then also exit through the same door we came in. A nice customer (coming in through the gate instead of the turnstile) held the gate for me so I could get the scooter back through it. I thanked him and drove the scooter back over to where it normally sits. Got it plugged in and started walking out. It was at this point we were approached by a lady with a Menards vest on, hair pulled back in a ponytail, who said "Ladies have you paid? Have you gone through a register with those items? We need you to exit through the registers." We both said yes and that we just came back down to this door from the registers. (Again, remember the registers are at the opposite end of the store.) I was about to add that we had parked just outside the "In" door and she interrupted... She says "Can I see your receipts?" We look at each other. shrug, and say "sure". We presented them. She looked them over carefully. Opened (without asking) the Menards bags, which were STILL being held by my spouse, and rummaged around. We had double-bagged the wrench and socket sets because they're heavy and we didn't want the bag to break. She says "Oh. I see. You double-bagged it?" We said "Yes, because they are heavy." She says "hmm. ok, here's your receipt (hands me mine), and here's your receipt (hands my spouse's receipt over.)" She then says (AS she's turning to walk away) "thank you ladies have a nice day". Neither of us responded. Now, aside from the fact that her attitude was a huge problem and needs to be taken care of by management...She *allowed us* the time to roll through the gate with the mobility scooter, get it plugged in, and start walking to the door, and THEN proceeded to accost us on the assumption that we were in the middle of a $70 heist of a 10 piece Masterforce wrench set and 21 piece socket set. She clearly saw me ON the mobility scooter. But either didn't have the ability to put 2 and 2 together and consider that I'm most likely parked in a close by handicap spot...or she just didn't care. I carry with me a copy of my doctor's letter which I submitted to the DOT as proof that I qualify for the handicap placard. Should I have pulled that out and showed her? Or should I be forced to explain to her that the distance from the "Out" door to my parking spot is greater than from the "In" door I came in through and now needed to exit through?!?! That would be absolutely humiliating. But, it's either that, or be made to feel like a common criminal, all because I needed a shorter walking distance to my car, and also wanted to return the mobility scooter to it's designated place and get it plugged in!! Screw you Grimes Iowa Menards. My back and I will not be back anytime soon. Enjoy the Yelp.
