He quickly gained more knowledge and experience than I had, and I ended up in the "drive him places and pay for stuff" position. So he gets a welder for Christmas and then needs some stock to build a welding bench. I tell him to make a plan about what he needs and to find a metal shop and we'll go get a quote and pick Up what he needs. Man, I was figuring he was gonna be in for a rough ride on this one. But the guys at Westbrook we AWESOME. Super patient with him walking through his project, giving him a quote, working on a re-quote, and when the price still wasn't in the dad budget, helped him select some useable parts from the scrap area to work towards what he needed. And when they learned he was just starting out, they said "hold on, we've got some scrap that's too small to sell" and handed him a box with about 10 pounds of small parts and told him to go practice... which he did." (He managed to build a nightstand like table with them... not bad!) Long story short, my son has a new hobby and I will basically go here from now on whenever we need metal or welding supplies, because the level of service is out of this world.

The selection and service are unbeatable. As a traveling carpenter, I've been to hardwood suppliers…read moreacross 6 states and this is the best one I've had the pleasure of working with.

Cabinet and drawer hardware, specialty tools and router bits, screws, edge-banding and glue; I've gotten it all from Dakota and never been disappointed.

This is pretty much a beautiful upscale store they cater more to the elite crowd. Yes it is…read moreexpensive but they do carry a lot of beautiful items I do remember buying about 20 wine glasses a few years back and they weren't what I thought they would be. But now they carry better quality and definitely the selections they have is going to be a little higher and more expensive. So you can save money here if you come at the right time do not come when it's seasonal items because they do tend to be on the higher value side. They do carry electrical items and they carry wine glasses and beautiful Christmas trees. I was searching for a certain wine glass I wanted to get 10 of them today except that it's Hit or Miss because they don't carry 10 items you have to order or find them in the store. So if you want to purchase several of the same wine glass good luck with that. I had wonderful service they're very friendly here and they will help you in every way they can that's what I thought was an absolute Plus. Like I said I usually like to come when it's not before Christmas or any holidays because that's where you will find everything higher in price. I will come back again of course and see if I can buy any items on sale after the holidays that's the best time to come. Great parking no problem here and very friendly customer service.

This is where I have shopped for decades when I'm buying gifts for "people who have everything."…read more Breed's has always been the kind of store where you could count on real service, too. The beautiful objects are still there, but the shop appears to be quite understaffed... and whatever staff there is is struggling to keep up. I genuinely felt sorry for them. This is an ACE hardware store coupled with a tasteful, high end and carefully curated and presented homeware selection, including tableware, gardening supplies, greeting cards, candies and candles and one of a kind objects for the home. A $2,400 candelabra, a Smeg toaster, an excellent selection of flatware, tablecloths and glassware... pretty pajamas, $90 votive candles... But what to do if you want to know the price of that set of Wedgewood china, or the Rialto flatware? Prices are missing on so so many objects. And you cannot find a staff member... And you only have so much time before you need to meet mom for lunch. Ah well. Many of us are trying to ween ourselves off of online shopping. Retail stores... this is your moment to recoup some ground.

I give this place the highest marks for professional knowledge and fair pricing. If you order a custom table, large or small, I promise you will be delighted with the result.

Our dining table and eight chairs were some of the first made of mesquite by Southwest Trading Post…read moreabout 22 years ago. It was designed and crafted specifically to go in the dining room of our new Texas Hill Country home. To say they attract attention from anyone who visits is an understatement. Everyone is in awe of the wood, the design, the quality, and the uniqueness of these works of art. When I sold my home of almost 20 years and moved into a much smaller condo in Southwest Austin, one of the very first requirements was that there was a space where the table and chairs would be showcased appropriately. Fortunately, I found the perfect place. Now, for the disclaimer, the founder of Southwest Trading Post and the artisan who crafted our table and chairs is one of our sons, but I can assure you that if someone else had made this treasure, I would be just as delighted with it. My only hope is that when they put me in "the home", there will be space for this family heirloom.

I wrote an email asking for a specific piece of siding with specific dimensions in hardiplank…read moreinstead of masonite., and got a response that said "we have all the standard sizes of hardieplank in stock now" from Dean Apparently it was MY mistake to take that as an affirmative response, because when I drove an hour out of my way to go pick up the board with those dimensions they told me that they only has hardieboard not hardieplank, that it would never work in place of masonite, they didn't have that size in wood either and when I showed them their own email from an hour previous Dean raised his voice and said "I said Standard Sizes!" Apparently he couldn't be bothered to read two whole sentences of email and only read the one half of the word "hardie" and I was supposed to understand that he had disregarded the rest of it. Listen: Maybe if you are a builder or something that is going to buy 2000 board feet they will give you the time of day. But even then I wouldn't want to support their dishonesty. As an individual: Avoid!

I'm trying to think of anything you can buy these days that comes with a true lifetime guarantee…read more I got nuthin' --- except Cutco knives. Cutco knives are made in the USA to last, and the Cutco company believes so strongly in its product that each knife is "guarantee forever" including free sharpening. What?! Until recently, I did not have Cutco knives but, just as I was contemplating an upgrade of my kitchen knives, my sweet Mom gifted me with the set she'd had for years but no longer used. Did the guarantee convey to a new owner? Were these older knives (circa 1970s) eligible for free sharpening? What about the French Chef knife that had a chink missing from the blade? Could it be fixed? When I called the Cutco Kitchen in Rollingwood (in the shopping center where the Post Office is) the answer to all my questions was, without hesitation or question, "yes." I took the knives in today and the experience couldn't have been better. It's a small shop but has a very wide array of Cutco products: all the knives, kitchen utensils, spices, gardening tools, and other handy household items. Although there was only one sales person present, I was the only customer so I had her attention immediately. The sales person examined each knife and found one that had a broken point, which I had not noticed. They would mail it and the damaged French Chef knife to the company for any repairs or replacement. The other knives were sharpened at the shop. I brought my non-Cutco knives, too, because they only charge $5 per knife for sharpening. This took about 10 minutes or so, more than enough time for me to pop by the USPO and Great Harvest Bread Co. where I got an amazing loaf of bread (but that's another Yelp review). Their process is to call me when the replacement/repaired knifes are ready for pick-up, which should be about 10 days. Yes, the Cutco products are pricey but I believe they are worth it. My Mom used her Cutco knives for about 50 years before passing them on to me and I suspect they will be around long after I no longer need them. In Cutco's case, you definitely get what you pay for.
