Late on a Saturday afternoon, I started a project I had no Idea was going to be so difficult to…read morefinish. A washer for a spigot needed replaced. Off to HD for the usual. "We don't sell those, only the whole thing" was not the reply I was looking for. I don't feel like chipping the stone on my house to replace an entire spigot head. I call frantically around to hardware stores. I call True Value, "yes we have that, we close in 30 minutes". So I fly across town to this place, which I admit is hard to find if you don't know what you are looking for. I walked in with the spigot handle, which had the washer attached, however the screw holding the washer had its head broken off. The guy there CUTS the washer off, and uses a Vice Grip to pull the broken screw out. If this had gone wrong, I would have been without water for the weekend, but it was no problem. He pulls out a new washer, a new screw and some graphite packing, and I am home with a fixed spigot in no time flat. I LOVE this place. Every time I go there, they are extremely helpful, and the only hardware store I will go to now if possible here in Erie. They have helped me with random fittings and build something that is what I am looking for. The Best!!

Wish I could give zero stars. Product represented as their product is actually a Chinese company…read morethat sells on Amazon called Easelife. He takes your money and orders from Amazon to ship directly for you. I might add at more than twice the cost. If you want to return, he charges 25% restocking fee. In another review response here, he says the restocking fee is to cover his time and effort for packing up and shipping the process. Funny that it is Amazon doing his work. So for a $280 product, charges $70 to return. Only cost him $106 on Amazon. He then probably sells the return on the "Clearance" section of his website. His other comment to me was "We buy and ship from 3 vendors... like other businesses buy for one price and sell for another. " Right but honest businesses don't represent the product as theirs and ship from another retailer. Super shady... Buyer beware.

BUYER BEWARE!!! It's clear barn door hardware can be found anywhere for under $200. I chose this…read morecompany because it appeared they specialized in this area. I bought a set for nearly $500 and based off the description thought it came with the doors. I was so disappointed and shocked to see I paid $500 JUST for the hardware . Same day I reached out to the company but they wanted to charge a 25% restocking fee. Again the restocking fee just to return is the same price to just buy hardware from a competitor so that didn't make sense. I held onto the set, never opened the box, and waited for a bigger project worth this "extremely expensive hardware" We had just purchase a $400,000 property, built doors and for the first time opened the box. We were APPALLED to see we paid nearly $500 for UNFINISHED raw steel. I can't even use the handles because they are marked in plain sight huge "CHINA" this company brags about being made in USA but they use CHINA parts. My husband said he could have built this same exact kit for $40!! When reaching out to the owner he offered absolutely no help but bragged how he sells 1000's of these without complaints. Meanwhile I see the same set I ordered now selling on his website for less than 300. I feel like he is a crook who took our money, provided a low quality product, and doesn't have enough pride in his business to do the right thing despite multiple emails and attempts over 3 years to do the right thing. Very disappointed! Save your money and shop elsewhere. I'm a Realtor and real estate investor and have seen many similar products installed for a fraction of the price that are MUCH higher quality!

They tend to keep their workers long-term for the most part. I don't know them by name but the lady is really helpful as are the older guys who work there. I had an issue where I needed a screw for a deadbolt. The guy looked through their vast screw selection and even went in the back to look at the oddball screws and couldn't find it. So what'd they do? He seriously (after checking with the manager) busted a deadbolt package, grabbed one of the screws and gave it to me. Now that is customer service! I've also had issues where I showed them photos on my phone and they recommend a product or a specific sized piece of wood for a job. They're usually correct in their recommendations. I will do my best to come here more often to buy as their customer service and expertise is much better than the big-box stores.

Thanks again! ---- Original Post---- As a homeowner, my husband and I have shopped in both Lowe's and Home Depot for over 20 years. We have spent an extraordinary amount of money in both of these stores. We rarely need to make returns, but we just had a recent instance of having to return 5 bags of polymeric sand because we decided to have the job done by a contractor. I saved the receipt and my husband went to the store to return the sand. It was a VERY UNPLEASANT experience to learn that there is a 90 day window on returns (with receipt) and NO EXCEPTIONS ARE GRANTED FOR A RESELLABLE ITEM such as polymeric sand! Needless to say, we have made our LAST purchase at Lowes and I will be sharing this VERY NEGATIVE experience EVERYWHERE I can.
