If you're into woodworking and live near Fairfax, this is the perfect store for you. The place is…read morehuge with everything you could ever need for woodworking. I sometimes come here just to browse what kind of tools I may be missing. Rockler has everything from tiny dowels to thousands-of-dollar heavy equipment. What I usually come here for is to get hardwood and baltic ply. The hardwood selection here is great and it's reasonably priced. Most of them are S4S or S3S so in the worst case, I can use my table saw to rip the unfinished side. You only pay for what you need so you can have them cut a longer piece and not pay for the reminder! That's amazing. Note that they only cut longer wood to fit in your car. Rockler currently does not offer planing or joining services. The guy over there said they are looking into supporting such services soon but as of today, that's not an option. Rockler also has wood-turning and other general woodworking classes. There's a small classroom inside the store itself. If you need anything woodworking, Rockler is it!

I absolutely love Rockler in Fairfax! I thought I'd try something new and took "Woodworking basics…read morefor women" with Sarah in June 2025. I loved everything about it! I then took 11 classes that I've also loved!! Woodworking basics for women (Sarah), Live Edge Epoxy (David L), Shop Safety Woodworking 101 (Bruce), Cabinet making (Bruce), Make a Cherry Wine Box (David L), Build a Bookcase (Bruce), Shaper Origin (David L), Sign making (David L), Woodburning (Sarah), make and take Christmas Ornament (Sarah), and a make and take cheese board class (Mike) ... I'm sure I'm forgetting a class... all within 6 months!! :) The store is clean and staffed with very knowledgeable, patient, and kind people that all share a love of woodworking. I am thankful for all of those that I have met and all that they have taught me.

I almost bougt the one that thry have here, but I thought about the logistics in bringing it doen there, may not be so easy. What I actually came here for was to get some gardening tools and supplies for my house up here. I figure I have the long holiday weekend to hipefully make some good progress on the yard and small garden area. This hardware store is very close to me here and I wasn't in the mood to drive 6 miles to the big box hardware store to maybe save asmall amount of money. I got a garden house, a shovel, and regular yard rake to clean up the place. They had everything that I needed.

There's a reason it's a local institution and legend. Yes, it's way smaller the the "big box" companies you know of. Brown's doesn't have everything they have because of size. But they have just about everything you truly need and can get it for you if it's not in stock. No wandering around endless isles with no help to help that's helpless. It's a small parking lot. Rarely full because your in and out so quick whether you need help or not. They're not open on Sunday and close a little early which is a major inconvenience for those who work a regular weekday hours. Doubt that's gonna change. But it's worth rearranging your schedule if you need hardware etc.

We got a key safe box to keep a spare key, and it would not open even with the right password. And overall, things here are old style, stone-age things that wouldn't work for a modern family. You would just better off by getting things from Amazon, or go to target. I am glad that they decided to close this store. Please remain closed and replace this one with a better store.
