Darin at this place is SO NICE and helpful!!! The store ended up not being able to accommodate my request. But they pointed me in the right direction and they had an amazing selection of wood! Much nicer than the chain stores! read more

Ross Alan Design - Gorgeous beechwood vanity mirror Ross and his crew made for me. It's even more beautiful in person! - Building Supplies Near Me - Franklin, Tennessee

I had such an amazing experience at Ross Alan Reclaimed Lumber. I walked in and it was like I had died and gone to heaven. Such a wonderful variety of woods and sizes. I picked the wood gave them the size I needed. They checked in with me by phone before they cut everything and bingo I had the product. They were fast, efficient and oh such a delight to work with. I can't wait for my next project. I wish I could add photo's to show you how flipping great the new mantel looks for my clients. read more

Good selection, really nice and helpful people. Not your cheapest option, but you should know that going in. Definitely will go back when there's a need for some special wood. read more

Wow, just an all around great place to be. Spoke with the owner and he gave me some solid advice on fabricating as well as certain grits to go off of. I wish I worked with lumber a bit more to pick this guys brain, but I'd recommend this place if you're looking for high quality in material and in a person. read more

What a cool place! Everyone was really nice, the prices are super reasonable and when I showed some of my wood and resin jewelry to the guys working there, they really seemed to like it! So thanks for the huge ego boost, guys!! read more

It's reclaimed wood heaven!!!! I knew I would find what I needed here when I walked in! The owner Alan was so helpful and so nice! I was so indecisive and he was so patient and worked with me! I'll def be back for more wood! I love this place! Also, prices are fair!! read more

These guys were extremely helpful and nice. They explained their product in detail and cut my wood to specification. I wish every business I dealt with had these qualities. Thanks for your help Steve! read more

Not cheap, but real nicely aged hard wood is worth it. They have a fantastic selection, and their wood workshop is no joke. The people working there are also very experienced, and will let you know if they think something will work or not. Definitely plan ahead with what you want. read more

I read nothing but amazing reviews on this place. After looking all over for a place to get a mantle with some wood that was a bit more unique, this place popped up. They were a little busy fir a Saturday, but they even said how sorry they were to not get to us right away. Wow! Thanks, for noticing and saying that! Walking in I was stunned and just lured in by the looks of the place. Then you walk in and your blown away. Such a cool place!!! The wood was amazing, hard to find a favorite since there was so much there. We bought an awesome piece for our mantle and even some sheeting that they make so it can go over our mantle piece. I would come and just hang out here, it was that awesome of a place. Throw in an owner who's passionate and very kind, and you found an amazing place. Picking up everything a week from now, and so excited to transform our fireplace that needs so much love and attention. Thankful, for places like this so we can have a unique experience and a totally unique statement piece in our home! read more

What you want done, write it down on paper, have a signed understanding. I was very enamored with this place when I went in. It should have a band playing, and a cappuccino bar offering. And the people seemed so cool. I had a large wood coffee table for years. I had it in the sun, painted it, sanded it, stained it before and then stripped it. Then had it pulled apart from the base to create a desk top, and used the base to make a side table. When I brought it in to Ross Allen, it was stripped and already made, except the design wasn't happening because the wood used from a friend wasn't old enough and slab-looking. Ross listened to what I wanted. I kept saying..like an old dock that has sat in the sun for years... like Restoration hardware, a raw, plain piece of old wood made into a table. Raw, plain wood with only a protectant on it with no sheen, clear, no stain or anything. Matte. I showed them a pencil holder or something they had on their counter, like this, plain. The top part of the side table would be of Ross's old wood, and wouldn't match my desktop, but the base underneath would match my desktop as they were the same wood from the same piece of furniture, so they would tie together.... I asked for the same measurements the side table was, except two inches shorter. The under shelf also needed to go all the way through, not halfway on each side. I asked for rivets on the top to kind of tie in the rivets that were on my desktop. He did structurally exactly what I asked for, and I was so happy. The rivets were on the side, not on the top, but oh, well. For my desktop, I had him replace two strips of wood underneath with part of the older wood I purchased and make them shorter, which he did. Everything just needed to have the clear protectant put on it and that would be it. Yea! He said he was going out of town, and could that be done next week. No problem, and I left almost skipping with joy. I liked how the wood looked, and asked a few times how dark would it get when we put the protectant on it, as I like the sun-bleached look now, but we have termites in our building and I know I have to put some sort of coating on it. I was going to try to find a scrap piece from when I had previously deconstructed the coffee table to get an idea how dark it would get. I didn't find my scrap wood. A week or so went by. I called on my way to work and Ross excitedly told me that he (I quote) "got inspired" and antiqued my table with some charcoal. Without asking me first? "You mean like with dark-grey charcoal? Why would you do that?" I asked. He said I should just come and take a look at it ..... wanted raw, plain wood, nothing on it, no stain... The next day I did, and it was bad. All black charcoal in every crevice of the side table top wood and highlighting a swirly design in the wood I had pointed out to him that I hated, but he highlighted it in charcoal. He has also charcoaled the base of the side table, so it no longer ties in at all with my desktop. I was pissed. I told him to take it off. And his response to me was anger. Yes, he was angry at me for not liking it. What an egotistical #%*hole. It looked like something pulled out of a fire. Yes, he knows how to do amazing things with wood. But this was my table, and my design, and had come to him with a specific vision. He had just decided all on his own that he knew better than some dumbo like me what I wanted. He clenched his jaw and angrily said, "Well, you are going to have to meet me in the middle, because that is never coming all out. And I've already spent too much time on this." Seriously, this is what he said. Who asked him to do this anyway. No apology, he's mad at me? And later says that I "acted like he betrayed me". I left, and he was supposedly going to sand it. I called to see how it was going and spoke to his wife and got upset, and couldn't even get out what he said to me about meeting him in the middle ? and spending too much time? I didn't change the job, he did. I'm a creative person also, hence wanting my vision to be expressed. When I went in to see the sanding I apologized to his wife, I felt bad for getting upset. It's just a table, and they are nice people. Ross is there, and he just looked at me and said nothing. There's still black and I go back again and the base no longer matches my desktop because they had to sand it so much to get the black off. The wood is now bright and orangish, but the black on the front of the legs was left because (again, I quote) "No, Ross said you wanted that left on there." I was told they were going to deliver the table the next day to me no matter what. Ross screaming at me on the phone "he's a people pleaser!" and "that's why I'm so successful!" That I should just shut up and go "be happy!" Got a stained, antiqued table with correct dimensions, a discount I didn't ask for, but not my order. read more

Excellent selection, excellent service! I've experienced a couple of other reclaimed wood yards for other projects - one in the city, one in the valley. Trust me, GO HERE. Slightly smaller yard, but probably more usable and well protected wood. Although they have more than adequate parking, It was still a bit of a trick (for me). It's basically right on the busway. read more

My husband and I went to their reclaimed lumber store because I was doing a project and was met with awesome help from at least three people. I have never had experience shopping for lumber and the friendly guidance made it a great experience. Their supply of boards for my project was limitless and I will definitely be back for more. Wonderful service and great prices. read more

Came here based on the good yelp reviews. I was looking for some reclaimed wood for the backing of my wall mounted tv. First thing I noticed is it's kind of hard to get to the parking lot, it's on a one way alley and I had to turn around a few times to get to the store front. I walked in and a gentleman greeted me after a few moments, he really didn't seem very interested in helping me out at first, I was expecting a little bit more of a one on one experience being I was the only one in the store. He pointed me in the direction of what I was looking for but didn't seem like he wanted to help me find or narrow down my search. I was a bit confused on how the sale process went in this place and after explaining that I wanted to make a purchase that day and not place an order he asked who I assume was the owner if he could sell me some planks. I found that a bit odd that he had to ask but maybe he was new. Anyways I took some time to pick the ones out I wanted and the guy took time to measure them for me and ring me up. I met the owner? at this point and he gave me some suggestions on how to mount the planks. He seemed happy for my business and excited for my project. I spent a bit more than I wanted but I would come back if I needed anything else. All in all a good experience even tho it was a bit awkward at first. I appreciated the tip on mounting although I ended up using double stick tape instead of glue and nails. Worked out well, beautiful wood! Thanks guys! read more

This review is waaaay over due. Bought a small piece of wood here to make a shelf for my vanity. The owners are extremely helpful and just overall seem like great people with admirable values. We talked about plastic pollution for a bit. I also bought their handmade wood stain. I loved it. the shelf came out perfect. One container stained the entire piece and i still had some left over. Thank you! read more

Ross Alan Design - Thank you for building this for us, Ross. - Building Supplies Near Me - Franklin, Tennessee

When I first started woodworking, Ross Alan Reclaimed was one of the first lumber resources I visited. They set the bar so high that every other lumber supplier I've been to can't even begin to touch their quality...in inventory, in customer service and in custom furniture design build services. Their facility is massive and their stash of reclaimed American barnwood and reclaimed fence wood is both vast and endless. They also are extremely supportive to professional woodworkers like myself and I am grateful to have gotten to know Ross and Georgie in my many trips to their business. read more

There's a reason Ross gets so many 5 stars! He helped me pick out the right wood for my shelves and explained a lot of the areas of woodworking I was unfamiliar with. He's also just a nice guy! read more

Fantastic spot to get material if you are in need of old barn / fence wood & similar items. Service is excellent as well! However I had to take off a star due to their pricing, which effectively made my trip as the last one unless I'm super desperate. I paid $30 for one piece of wood about 36 inches long, about 1/2 inches thick for example. One can easily buy similar wood on ebay and pay way less even after shipping. Having that said I appreciate the convenience they provide if you want to just go grab a piece or two for a small project... read more

Highly recommend!!! Yes, their selection is great and it's well organized. Their prices are good. But what makes them exceptional is their customer service. We went in on a Saturday afternoon and only needed one plank for a small home project. The guy who helped us (sorry, forgot his name!) treated us as if we were pros buying for a huge project. We were able to sort through the material to find what we wanted, then once we found some options, he gave us expert advice. We left feeling great about the lumber and wax we purchased. It's an organized creative space and I can't wait to go back! Thank you for being awesome! read more

You know as you travel around you find these kinda magical places where the people, the product and the attitudes all come together. That's what Ross has done here. He is as nice and knowledgeable as they get. Its a place where the quality of the products are as good as the people. I have never been to a commercial store of any kind where the owner is as excited about your project or idea as you are. I don't know how to say the right things about Ross and crew to do them justice. I can tell you that if you are reading this review, that they are the best of the best. They will do everything in their power to make you happy and walk out with the best wood, doors, carts, ideas or whatever you are looking for. From a single board to a full renovation their ideas, craftmanship and product are second to none. The biggest reason to go to Ross Lumber is Ross and Team are just plain old down to earth GOOD people, THE BEST. read more

I had a very specific need for a desk. I knew exactly what I wanted. And I found it on Etsy but I needed a custom size with a few enhancements. As soon as I began asking for those enhancements, the seller stopped responding to me. I reached out to the seller multiple times but was ignored. So I decided I didn't need him and I could do it myself! But where to start? A quick Google search for reclaimed lumber returned Ross Alan with 5 star reviews across the board. That's all I needed to see. I tossed my 7 year old son in the car and we headed out for Burbank. Finding the place was easy and parking was aplenty. Man, what a cool place! I hand-picked exactly what I wanted. They planed the wood for me on the spot and I was out of there in less than 30 minutes. Drove home and got right to work on building my new desk. In no time at all, I built EXACTLY what I wanted! I saved a TON of money too. I also found a great new source for all my upcoming projects. I am going to start building a console table this weekend. Step 1- drive back down to Ross Alan's on Saturday and hand-pick the lumber for my project! The weekend can't come soon enough :) read more

Best kept secret in the valley for home decor. Immediate & friendly assistance from Jeff who helped me find exactly what I needed for my project. Super reasonable prices on material.

Georgie is Awesome! Love the wood selection and amazing customer service!

Ross and his shop are delightful! A little too pricey for my project needs, but he even recommended another place to me. A great wood shop where the company and the smell of sawdust make you immediately feel welcome. read more

So glad to have them in the neighborhood along the Chandler Walk area, in a space that was an empty warehouse on occasion used for filming for so long. read more

Not much more I can add to the universally glowing reviews of this place, other than to echo them. This is one of those businesses that you feel lucky and privileged to have near by. Super friendly and knowledgeable staff. Amazing selection of impossible-to-find lumbar. A++++++. read more

So thankful for Ross and team at Ross Alan Reclaimed Lumber. We bought several pieces of wood from them while we were renovating our house in NoHo. The knowledge, skills and overall service Ross and his team provide is top notch. Great family owned business in the heart of NoHo that we hope never leaves! We are itching to find another project where we can use the products and services offered by Ross and his team! read more

I had a great experience at Ross Alan. The team was warm and friendly. They provided a tour for myself and my 86 year old Dad who has tons of experience as a wood worker and has built some beautiful pieces for family members. We were impressed with finish pieces they had done and were in the process of finishing. The quality of their work was excellent and selection of reclaim hardwood impressive. They built a beautiful walnut round table 54" for our wine room and then also built a stunning counter top for an 8ft bar area. They delivered on time and I was exceptionally happy with the quality and value. read more

Is it a waste of time to write another glowing review? Can there be enough kindness in the world? These folks are so very sweet and helpful. I'm sure my project is small compared to many of their clients, but they made me feel like it was the most important project of the day. Ross Allen himself pulled out a bunch of pieces of lumber for me until we found pieces that looked good together. They even loaded it into my car for me, which I deeply appreciated because my back is not in good shape. It's so gratifying to meet people who have a passion for characterful things and see value in reclaiming history. Thank you!! read more

I am a DIY'er and learn as I go. I knew i wanted to find some cool reclaimed wood to build shelving and tables. I stumbled across Ross Alan Reclaimed Lumber, and LOVE IT. Not only did I find better materials then what I was looking for, But I asked Ross a ton of advice and he jumped to help. Super Nice, Felt like I was treated like family. Smart Couple, Smart Business! I am sure I will be a repeat customer. A must visit. They do visits by appointment and make themselves very available. read more

I was looking for a large piece of reclaimed wood for a breakfast bar. We met with Ross and he immediately knew what to suggest and we are so excited. I just ordered the wood yesterday, so I haven't seen the finished product yet, but Ross was soooo nice and great to work with. He turned what I thought was going to be a difficult task into an easy one. One word of caution. The shop is by appointment only. It is not open all day. Give him a call and he will meet you there. We went and couldn't find anyone so we called Ross and he met us there a little while later. read more

We loved working with everyone here to pick and build us a beautiful table top for our den coffee table. They were helpful, kind and patient in teaching us what we wanted to know. The minute we walked into the space, the vibe was amazing. We can't wait to use them again for more projects around our house!!! read more

I've had my custom made dining room table for about 4 months now and I still pause to admire it every time I walk past it! Ross was super easy to work with, fast, affordable and really understood the aesthetic I wanted. I would definitely contact him for any future custom work. read more

Wow. Incredible place run by the sweetest guy. I only bought one beautiful panel to start and Ross cut it to size. Can't wait to go back. A++ spot for reclaimed wood. read more

LOVE this place! The owner Ross was incredibly helpful, patient, friendly, and made picking out wood an enjoyable experience. He isn't pushy which is so appreciated but he is honest. We loved the selection and we are so excited to build our table. We can't wait to give him more business in the future. Other store owners, take notes, this is how a business should be run. Really great job Ross!! read more

Great place for reclaimed, vintage lumber. Been there a few times and dealing with the owner was very pleasant.
