Before we moved into Manhattan on the upper east side, a good friend assured us that there was a…read morewonderful hardware store that carried everything we'd ever need for our apartment. I thought that sounded ridiculous but shortly after we moved into Manhattan, we visited the Rainbow store on First Avenue between 75th and 76th Streets and I realized our friend was absolutely right. Over the last few years we've purchased essentials for our kitchen, everything from measuring cups to excellent baking pans! We've purchased our very study laundry/ shopping cart, pictures frames, an inflatable mattresse, probably dozens of cosmetics, soaps, shampoos as well as toys, art supplies and of course, stuff you need from a hardware store! We live about ten blocks away but we know that it's the place to go when we need something for the apartment. They slso have cool docks, hats and an excellent selection of chocolates! I slmost forgot to mention that they also have a " membership program ". For every purchase you make ,you get points based on what you buy as well as monthly discounts. As a result, I'll often get $5 to $10 dollars off when i go to pay at the cash register. I have slso been very impressed with their dedicated staff who seem to know where every product is on their two floors of merchandise!

She was knowledgeable about the product range, explaining the trade-offs (outstanding quality of Inside's work and materials versus a limited range of fabrics and colors), and patient in helping us make our final choices across several visits.

Why I won't be back (message for mgmt):…read more I've been a customer for years, made a loyalty account last year, and have spent thousands of dollars on paint over those years. Went in today (8/10) to buy some paint for a small (& cheap) project. After I selected my color, I went to the rep (Eamon) and asked for the cheapest flat-sheen paint they had in a quart or gallon size. Eamon proceeds to pull Emerald in a quart size off the shelf and tell me this is the cheapest paint aside from their samples. I didn't bother to let him know that that *I* knew that Emerald is the most expensive line per oz. At ~$22 a quart, a good rep, knowing the circumstances of my project should've recommended a gallon of Captivate (or literally any other line) which is 4 bucks more for an *entire* gallon. And no, there wasn't a stock shortage -- I checked out what they had when I first walked in. At this point I asked if I could purchase two sample sizes instead, and after looking at his stock of 6 tells me he can only sell me one. I informed him that the last week I purchased 3 samples when there were also only 6 with no problem, and so he lies and tells me this is a store policy and shrugs. Either have the policy posted, or sell your stock. Considering I've purchased many multiples of samples from SW in the past, I think it's bs. I have also never had a store tell me they can't sell me the product they have in stock. Super weird and uncomfortable interaction overall. Feeling like I was being cheated out on price, and then fed a bullsh*t line about store policy so he could save face. First interaction with Eamon, I'm sure he's an okay guy, but needs a training on customer service. Won't be back and will bike over to a different paint store for this project and for others. There's so many paint brands nowadays! ----------------------------------------- If you want to still go...What I like about this store: - Of the reps I've encountered, they give you space to explore the color cards at your leisure and don't hover. Avoid Eamon though. - It's a few blocks from where I live and I believe one of the only paint stores on the west side (vs. F&B or BM on the east). - Good hours, open on time - Always have the line, sheen, and size container that I want - Cashiers always have the coupon codes ready to scan (if you forget) - They'll happily look up your past purchases in case you forget a paint color name (which I do all of the time)

Called ahead when I hadn't heard back and Felicia said she was with other customers and the order hadn't been started yet. As it was Sunday I needed to get it together ASAP in case i had to go elsewhere to get what I needed I went in person. Years of customer service has taught me that phone and internet fall behind live clients. Felicia was lovely and patient with my near freak out and got it all together with the changes I decided on. She also confirmed how much paint I would actually be needing. Though she was great I am concerned that the order wasn't put together the day before in case she *was* busy and couldn't get it together in time. *district mgr just called to make sure everything was fine.
