I can't comment on price comparisons to similar stores as I've no clue what things are supposed to cost; however, the fence was very quickly done and neatly and the fellow building it was kind and gracious. Definitely worth a visit -- plus, they have free popcorn for everyone!

The first time at the cashier when we were told the visible price on the merchandise we were buying was not correct we thought... Hmm. Well. Okay. We paid the higher price. The second time we were told the visible price on the merchandise was wrong........I said....Hmmm...but the price is ON the tag. Apparently it was incorrect. WELL. OKAY. We paid the higher price. The THIRD time we were told the price was incorrect I did point out the price on the tag. NO. I did press the point. The woman said the objects were worth more and if I didn't agree, I could leave the items. I left the items. At first we were upset.

I'm not…read moreabout supporting big box stores but usually when I am getting lumber I'm busy getting numerous other things. Well after my experience today buying lumber I will only be shopping here for my lumber. The staff are so helpful and available to assist. Today's haul was a pick up truck full. Well over 100 pieces, the yard staff were very helpful in assisting with loading. They guide you around the yard so you don't drive aimlessly and waste time searching and searching. Oh and don't be fooled from the size of this place. They have a massive selection! Now for the best part, after price comparing with Home Depot these guys were considerably cheaper. This decision saved me at least $150. You can call ahead and they will pick your order if you have a trailer to drop the order on. They will only do this if you have a trailer though.

Because "Undercover Brother" was hilarious when I was 13. And I'm 23. (Fine, I still laughed a time or three). And I already finished Game of Thrones Season 2. And re-watching season 1. And then 2 again. And reading Storm of Swords. But I digress.... For the two people who read this review, you will want to understand that my Golden Spike experience was instigated by the eventual-in-laws decision to frame their cabin basement out at Lake Wabamun. (For you two who are wondering, that is near Seba Beach. If that (likely) doesn't ring any bells, think of Stony Plain. And if you still can't conceptualize where in the Alberta wilderness I am currently residing, visualize Edmonton (without cringing - zing) and go west for an hour. Well, I have to say that the Golden Spike experience was averagely priced. ~450 bucks for 140 2x4's (10 ft). I also have to say in good conscience that this particular batch of lumber licked a sizable pair of nuts. You are going to get bad pieces in any batch but the sheer number was slightly irritating when attempting to find a sexy little number to use as a top/bottom plate. The gentleman at the front desk was helpful and even helped us hand-bomb the lumber on to the trailer... which was the consequence of our order, already an hour behind scheduled time of pick-up, having not yet been assembled, apparently fading into the mists of short-term memory and necessitating a handy bit of exercise. No big D, except that I somehow managed to assault myself with a veritable spear of a sliver. It literally entered one side of my forefinger and exited where the skin overlaps the nail, all 2 inches of woody glory. Before my diction goes even further and more suggestively amiss, I will conclude this clearly enthralling review. It can be accurately said that if you know of no other lumber distributor in somewhere-west-of-Edmonton, you could go to Golden Spike, and you would get the job done. It could also be accurately said that if you are slightly overweight and/or exceptionally tardy, your experience upon pick-up could be exactly what you needed. 'Night.

There is a collection you should check out. Crafting? Creating? Building? So many great ideas!! Now I have a burning desire to figure out what to do with the circular 1m diffusion covers for light fixtures. Cold Frame? Hmmmm. The folks here are super friendly & always helpful.

There are rooms full of salvaged items and new vintage looking items. Whether your in need of some old doors, cabinets, lighting, fixtures, theatre chairs, windows, stone, nuts/bolts, handles, sink, toilet, furnace, fireplace, baseboard, barn board, shelving, and the list goes on. And on, and on. The fellow who owns the place is super friendly and great to talk to. It would be a miss if I didn't mention Murphy, the adorable store dog who wanders around like he owns the place. I secretly think he does. Make sure to say hi to him while you're there. It's worth stopping in here every month or so, because their stock changes regularly and you never know what you'll find!
