There are dozens of lawnmowers awaiting repairs on the sidewalk in front of the store. Actually, the store has 2 doors demarcating the hardware store proper on the right, and the flea market kind of place on the left. If you need an odd sized bolt or washer or screw, there must be hundreds of them here. I stopped in today looking to sell an old mirror. The proprietor wasn't interested in buying it, but was agreeable to offering it for a consignment sale. The proprietor is a friendly guy, and the store is a trip and a half to browse around in.

When I called to check availability of an item on their website, my call was answered after one ring by a live person (Greg)... Unlike the automated phone systems at most businesses that take forever to get to a live person. He advised that the part wasn't in stock, but offered to order it and have it shipped to the store. The next day he called and said the part was in! When I arrived at the store, my item and invoice were ready to go! Fast and easy!! I appreciate Greg and the great service at Star Hardware, so I'll be back!

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.

Facial recognition, tracking of what isles you enter, logging of what products you check out with, license plate readers, and more. Yikes. The staff are...fine.

But Walmart prices tend to be better, for the items they sell.

I purchased my house in 2016, this store would have saved me so much money, I had no idea what it was, or had any interest in it. When I would drive by, I thought it was a storage facility. I didn't think twice about putting it into Google, Yelp or going inside to see what it was. My friend pointed it out to me the other day, and said we have to go there. Ohhmyygoodness this is a MUST stop if you are moving into a new apartment or house. They have furniture galore. They have dining tables and chairs, desks, lamps and chandeliers, framed artwork and mirrors, and so much more. New inventory is constantly coming in. Everything is so much less expensive than any furniture store, even less expensive than Ikea, yet the quality is there. I got this very cute painting of a lighthouse in a beautiful white wood frame for $5. I also got a pouf for sitting for only $15. I have been looking for one of these for a while, they are super expensive, the one that matches my couch was $200. This one is black and white, pretty neutral, looks great and is such a bargain. If you need anything new for your home, please stop by here first. There is no way you'll walk out empty handed.
