This Bomgaars building was once the first Walmart in Boone. It's a little hard to reach as you…read morehave to turn in at Pizza Ranch and wind your way back. Bomgaars is a Midwest (and family owned) "Farm and Home" chain with branches throughout Iowa and beyond. It's one of those places that you could get lost in while you're looking for tools, outdoor gear, and even pet food. I've previously been to the Bomgaars in Estherville and Spirit Lake. This Boone outpost has seen my smiling face a couple times, mostly to pick up items I need at the moment, plus any impulse buys along the way.

The selection is good. The employees are friendly and helpful. The annoying thing for me is the…read moremusic. They play really loud 80s metal. I try to find what I came for and get out of there as fast as I can. I don't know how the people who work there can stand it.

Ok I must admit, it told me not to write if I know the owner or have a conflict of interest but to…read morebad. Really I'm just a girl who loves crazy old advertisements and furniture made of real wood, but I do work there. My boss thought of the term "vintage home furnishings store" when I was working on a report for class. "New" items are always coming in. There's always a huge supply of primitives, architectural pieces, metal office supply, rusty metal goods, old books, dish sets, furniture, jewelry. You can also sign up for workshops in Soldered Charms and Inspiration Boards. It's a great place to get decorating ideas for things you already have, or can just get at the store.

I would give a negative 10 if I could. I got a new water heater n installed, warranty good thru…read more2031 and yet we are in a disaster and I'm paying for a water heater that is now trash. Disasters should not void a warranty, it should be covered. Never buying from them ever again!

I'm giving this a 3 because the employee who helped us in store was incredibly nice. Would give him…read morea 5 but I'm beyond annoyed with the delivery issues. We were supposed to have appliances delivered today and were told they would call ahead to let us know they'd be here shortly. They were delivering 3 appliances for my house and 1 for my parents (they live up the street) and we gave them my phone number to call ahead. I double checked that was the number they would be calling before leaving the service counter after purchase. Well wouldn't you know today they supposedly made 3 attempts to deliver with no one home (I was one block up the street at my parents and able to return in under a minute as needed.) They called the wrong number (my dad's) and when he called back after missing their ONE call, they never answered and he couldn't leave a VM. Now delivery is going to have to be Saturday interrupting plans we've had all summer if we want them this week (we needed them ASAP.)

We are extremely pleased with the flooring project from Carpet One. Dave was very patient and…read morehelpful in assisting us to choose flooring. The young man from Story City, Greg Neff was not only highly skilled at his trade, but over the top courteous as well! Another gentleman laid carpet in one room. The same sentiment goes for him!

I highly recommend Carpet One in Ames, IA. their staff is awesome to work with. Abby helped me pick…read moreout the carpet I purchased for my home. I had a vision of what I wanted and she was able to provide just what I love. The carpet installers, Matthew & Jason were GREAT! They ended up doing so much for me as I've collected so many treasures over the years and I myself am unable to lift like I could 10 years ago. Not a single sigh came from their mouth as they did more than they should have. Thank you so much Matthew and Jason. I will be requesting their services in future flooring projects. I'm loving my new carpet and my feet thank you too! Karen Hunt

Any seed you could possibly want -- no, seriously, they have it. SO many seeds. And their…read moregreenhouse is HUGE...I could spend hours and hours wandering around this place, just looking at all the different plants, seeds, and starts. The layout of the greenhouse is well-planned and everything is clearly marked, so you always know what section you're in and can visually locate signs for whatever section you seek. If you buy a plant and a pot, they'll pot the plant for you while you wait. (This is a bigger deal than you might think, considering that potting a plant always involves more soil than comes in the original container. If you had to do it yourself and didn't already have a bag of soil at home, you'd need to buy some.) They also have a great selection of all the "little things" you might need, like label sticks to mark what you've planted where, little ceramic worms that test soil dryness, stakes for various climbing plants, and all shapes and sizes of post. Neat selection of garden decor, too. It's a nice big airy space that's a pleasure to explore, and you're bound to find whatever garden-related you might want. Highly recommended.
