You know how when you go to Best Buy and, against your better judgement, ask a salesperson for…read morehelp? And the BEST possible result is that whatever stoned teenager you're dealing with reads aloud from the boxes for you? Rockler is kind of the exact opposite of that. It's very clear that the staff there are all genuinely passionate and knowledgeable about woodworking. I love that they always ask, "What project are you working on?" Maybe it's a just savvy sales technique, but it always comes across as genuine curiosity. The store has everything from an incredible selection of hardware, much of which you can't find anywhere else, to all sorts of exotic woods, to multi-thousand dollar power tools. It's great to have a store like this so close to home.

We had been searching for someone that could replicate the 1915 spindles (balusters) we had using…read morered oak at an affordable price. We contacted woodworkers both locally in Oregon and throughout the USA. Many said our spindles were too thin for them to replicate in oak. Some provided estimates ranging $30 to $70 a spindles. Ben (at Stiles) didn't hesitate for a minute upon seeing the photos and dimensions and said there would be no problem in replicate in stain-grade red oak and he quoted us a price that was much more affordable. Ben was even willing to use our material for the spindles that we sent him and credited us for the material. The spindles arrived perfectly smooth and an exact match ready to be stained! Ben was great at coordinating our request/order both on the phone and via email. And yes they accept credit card.

Amazing, fast service during another one of those winter weather issues. I spent a lot of time…read moretrying to prep for winter with my snow blower. Prepping the gas, starting it throughout the summer months and letting it run, checking the oil. Despite all this, when the big day came to use the snow blower, it wouldn't blow snow, just start and stall over and over and over. As everyone knows, if you live in Maine you need to have a way to remove snow, especially if your driveway is as long as ours. So I started calling around and every repair place was booked out by at least 4 weeks. Luckily I found Sportsman's through word of mouth and they can to pick up our snowblower ($15 pick up and $15 drop off). They repaired it within 3 days! We had a storm the following day and BAM snowblower repaired and working better than ever. It even came back with an EXTREMELY detailed repair report which I appreciate! I highly recommend this place for their prompt turnaround times and responsiveness!

I was in that store today looking for 2 different types of hooks for the house. I asked an…read moreemployee; A old man with a large gut, and he brought me to two sections of the store. In the second area he lingered a few feet behind me for a long time after I found the area I needed: which I noticed, thought was strange, and I got the sense that he was trying to be intimidating. Then another costumer needed help finding something so he walked a away for less than a minute. Then he returned & continued eyeballing me. Very obvious and intrusive. After I found what I needed I walked to the front, and when I passed him I said; "You watching me like a hawk?" His reply was "yeah". I've been followed around in stores before, and I really don't like being profiled. But he admitted what he was he was doing which is accusing someone of being a thief by de facto. I'm not a thief, and have never stolen from a business. I voiced my protest to the guy at the front of the store. I really don't like leaving reviews that are negative because it affects everyone there. But when there's a employee who acts like that I'm sure the business owner would want to be aware. I'm almost 50, have never stolen from a business, and really don't like being treated like that.

The store usually has what we need and the discount carts always makes us spend more than we had…read moreplanned for the trip :) There is plenty of parking and the staff does a great job keeping the lot clear of cart and flat beds. When we enter the store, there always seems to be clustered chaos by the customer service desk, not sure why, but sometimes it's kind of in the way of guests trying to pass by. We have always had to try to find things on our own, but it would be nice if there was a staff member available to help for finding obscure things. We typically got to the Paint desk and that person has to radio for help. We wish the online product information for the local store stock was more accurate, but I know that may be hard to track in real time. We always use self-check out and the staff there is very attentive and on the spot to help and or clean the station after each use. It's a fine place to go if you're in the area.
