I'm not saying you should visit Kendall's hardware simply because they have the two most adorable…read morestore cats in the world, but it certainly a good reason to do so. In world of large big box stores in Amazon, the local hardware store is more important than ever. It's where you can get advice, where you can find things easily, where the staff is always helpful. Kendall's is a wonderful store. I normally visit a different location so it's not aware of the store cat thing. I may need to visit this location more often. I stopped in For a few specific items and was immediately greeted and led to each of the items. It could not have been easier. The selection was amazing and staff super friendly. I love this store.

Stopped in here quick since my parents are looking for a new door for their home and my dad had…read morevisited before. They have a lot of items to sift through and look at, I was getting excited by all their vintage floor grates but didn't see one that was in my house (probably a good thing since their prices are high, but I get it kinda). They also have a ton of clawfoot tubs in varying states of quality for $400-500 that I could see. Always been a dream of mine so interesting that I could source one if I want to make it a reality! I didn't see any staff people around and the place was freezing (there's no controlled air).

Explained that I was reading the number directly off the company website but apparently I was still wrong. When I attempted to make myself clear they hung up on me- lol Called Ferguson Plumbing in Oakdale and they took care of me in minutes. Ordered the vanity with model number I was giving Star. Done some business with Star in the past due to convenience and specialty products. Always amazed at the high prices and the level of conceitedness. After being hung up on I'll shop elsewhere.

The men and ladies that work here are always helpful and the place is dog friendly. Like all neighborhood hardware stores, they stock things that are pertinent to the neighborhood. For example, last weekend I was doing some plumbing, decided to go to Menards and ended up returning everything I bought there because this Ace had what I needed. I could've saved myself some time and just came straight here but I had to be that cheap bastard and well, it shows ya where it got me. Anyway, it happens all the time and honestly the convenience of the place just can't be beat.

Settergren's manager looked at what I was trying to do and brought the correct part to the front of the store in ONE MINUTE!!! Priceless. I will always come her for plumbing questions in the future.

I brought it back to Settergren they took one look at it and said I need to bring it to an approved EGO repair shop. There was no concern or empathy just an attitude of it's now my problem. I asked if I could return it. He just said, "No there's nothing wrong with the mower it was assembled incorrectly". Now I have a new lawnmower I have to wait 2-3 weeks for it to be. l will let all my friends and neighbors know how poorly I as treated.

I met up with a friend here while visiting from out of town, and she suggested meeting at IKEA…read morespecifically to look at their fabric. I was a little skeptical because I thought they had discontinued their fabric line a few years earlier. I was pleasantly surprised that the fabric selection is officially back! The only thing is that you no longer need to cut your own from a bolt; instead, they sell it in precut 3 meter length. The patterns and quality are just as awesome as they used to be, and it is really convenient if you're working on home textiles or quick craft projects. The only drawback to our visit was the timing. My only piece of advice is to ensure you do not arrive 30 minutes before the store closes. IKEA is simply too massive to navigate efficiently under a time crunch, and you will not have enough time to browse properly. Give yourself a solid window to shop!

I've been an IKEA fan since they debuted decades ago in the States, and since have been to their stores all over North America and Japan. This one has everything that you would expect, and their customer service was IKEA-level great as always. Had to open our visit with one of their delicious lunch, dining on Swedish meatballs with grave, mashed potatoes, and tasty veggies. It's good pricing, clean, easy. I love this place, and we also bought some household items that are both useful and unique.

I like that they have sustainable products and practices here. The food selection is awesome and the earth-friendly products are outstanding.

However, there is one employee (a male with long-ish wavy hair, likely in his mid-30s) who clearly knows his products but often delivers suggestions in a tone that comes across as condescending and judgmental.
