They didn't have what I came for and then I had to awkwardly pass everyone in line to leave because they route everyone out like they're loading cattle onto a truck.

I am curious to see how the layout for this store was planned out. I'm 99% sure they had an…read moreorganized stack of cards, fumbled them on the floor, scattered them around some more and said, "Yeah this layout will work." It's the biggest hodgepodge design I've witnessed. Additional bummer: This hardware store listed the deck stain I need online, so I drove out only to find they didn't have it. Not that many staff members had masks during the pandemic, the store is cramped, and just has a weird vibe overall. I'm glad this isn't my neighborhood hardware store, and if it was, I'd take the extra few minutes to go down to Euston Hardware instead.

I just want to send a belated thank-you to everyone at Waldo Hardware for always being there to…read moreanswer my questions, guide me in my purchases, and assist me in any homeowner's dilemmas. On this recent visit, I especially want to recognize Mike L. I was working on a church project and, not being creative, was stuck regarding how to fix ribbons to a pole. He showed me several displays of hardware around the store that might serve my needs. After looking in three different areas, we found exactly the right item! And then I needed an enzymatic drain cleaner, and he walked me through the specifics of the various brands for sale, going through the details until we found just the right one for my needs. MANY thanks to Mike L. for his knowledge of hardware and home upkeep items, for his persistence in searching various areas until we found exactly the right item, and for his friendly, patient and welcoming attitude as we searched together. Thank you for such a pleasant shopping experience! Your great customer service is the reason I return to Waldo Hardware FIRST!

Updating my review as this has lowkey become a great, go-to hardware store. Despite living a…read morehandful of miles north, we discovered it when looking to get somewhere via ebike and the Trolley Trail, and it's been kind of great ever since. I've brought my pup in here as she continues to need some socialization and it always goes well. One time the clerks had their dog too and they became fast friends. This store really packs quite a bit into it. Of course it won't be as sizable as a Home Depot, but man oh man is the experience world's better. I found every single thing on my list which was great. It's closest size comparison to me would be the Ace in Westport, but hey guess what, you don't have to fear for your life in KC's worst intersection if you come here! It's easy to park in the lot out front, off of the always-busy 75th Street. My kids love it because they have a gumball machine, whoopie cushions, and other classics from back in the day when the world was making real attempts to be fun. I think I might even go out of my way again to come back to this spot more regularly.. nice place.

Beware when you return items. According to the woman at the…read morereturn desk, Home Depot doesn't exchange items, they only refund and you have to buy product again, even if it's the same item. I bought my wife a pair of garden gloves for $8.47 but they were too small. Since I couldn't exchange for a larger size, I had to get a refund, then pay the "new" higher price of $9.97. Guess I should have run back to HD the same day. Oh well, lesson learned.

They were fully staffed, which is nice to see on a Sunday afternoon. Felicia is always fantastic and welcoming and I am always happy to see her! Diversity: 2/10 I do enjoy that there are lots of women working at this location, including two women managers. I would love to see more minority employees working at the store. Prices: 9/10 You're not going to find super awesome quality in their tools but their prices are awesome for items like tape measures and paint rollers. They are overpriced on flashlights and some gardening tools, but we have had great luck on everyday tool items. They are also the plug on painters tape. Location: 8/10 HF is never crowded, even during peak times. It's easy to get in and out even though the parking lot is kind of small. It's right on Santa Fe (135th) which is always busy no matter what time of the day. Overall: 9/10 HF is a great place to find super affordable tools that will get you through whatever project you are working on. You can never go wrong with a visit to this location and they are always fully stocked. I recommend.

Great experience with lathe expert as detailed below…read more I am a lathe junkie... I make goblets and bowls, and because I'm fairly new and am not wealthy, I have cheap gouges that I bought on the internet instead of at Woodcraft. I came to the ugly conclusion the other day that I didn't know how to sharpen my tools correctly, so I set out to find someone to get me on the right track. A really young guy named Tyler at Woodcraft is their undisputed lathe expert, so I went to talk to him about my troubles. I expected his time to cost me 20 or 30 bucks, but he put a new edge on the 2 that needed them for free! I will now be able to sharpen correctly from watching him do it. If your in the Overland Park area and you like specialty wood working like lathe projects, go check this place out if you've never been!

I'm going to have all my stuff out and need to run to the nearest hardware store. Hartman & Sons is not the nearest hardware store to my house, but it's the one I go to in these situations. I call it in my under $1 store, because I usually spend pocket change buying a screw. At Hartman & Sons, I just walk up to the counter, tell them I need a screw, and they take me where I want to go, quickly and efficiently and, most importantly, with a smile. I've done this over 30 times and every time the result's the same. They recommend and show me the exact thing that I need. They never try to upsell me or make me buy in bulk. If Harman & Sons were reviewing me, I'm sure they would give me 1 star. Because when I'm going to spend $20 or something, I go to Home Depot or Lowe's. I'm the jerk who only uses the store because of their excellent service. I'm a taker. Which is exactly why I'm giving it 5 stars, I'm trying to give back.

The sales associate had no idea how to do the return and the LOVELY store manager was so sweet and patient with her while winking at me. I will certainly avoid this sales associate in the future and would hope she doesnt have a long career at this beautiful store.
