This meant taking 2 pieces home and working on them before bringing them back to the shop, mended. This is going beyond expectations, done with a smile and little to no reward for them. I have also found many odd items there that aren't available in supermarkets and other hardware stores. Highly recommended.

This is a smallish store (by US standards) but has a very wide variety of household products. I…read moreagree with a previous reviewer who describes it as an old fashioned hardware store. I ended up finding the cable ties that I needed, after searching many other stores. The staff was helpful and directed me to the product I needed.

Even that slightly sawdust scent that goes with hardware stores. Now, this store does not carry the reputation of two that I have reviewed before. But if I lived in Wimborne, I'd be a happy camper. Collandars, graters, knives, tupperware, caddies, drainers, cookwareand then hammers, nails, screws, and thingummies. They also do garden furniture, indeed, there was a very rustic looking one on display outside. I really could have spent ages snooping around, but hey ho, time is the master of our lives. No fifth star because there seems nowher to park, so how are you going to lug your goods to the car?

It doesn't matter what sort of DIY your trying to do there is always someone there who has the necessary knowledge to help you. It's only a small store but they make the most of the space and it's packed full of stuff, which although not as cheap as the superstores is worth it for the back up you get. The most handy thing they have is off to the side of the store. If you want wood cut to size they have a wall mounted cutter and will happily cut boards and planks to your exact requirements. I've not been here in some time but they certainly know their stuff and it's worth using them over anyone else in the area.

If you only need one thing it is probably just as cheap to come here and far easier.

Often places such as robert dyas dont have some things which can usually be found here. Tools/plumbing equipment etc its all here.

Some items a little on the pricey side as I guess they cant get the discounts huge retail chains can get, but its family run, local and friendly. Worth paying a bit more for in my opinion.
