A small milled order of cherry that I waited over 4 weeks for had half of it so bowed and crowned…read morethat it was not usable. There is no way a door could hang from what they gave me, which had about a 1 inch bow and 0.5 inch crown. These pieces were over $100 a piece. They were shrink wrapped, so someone had to have seen how bad these were when wrapping them, yet still handed them over. When I call to see if replacement pieces can be rushed, the answer is "another 4 weeks". I will never use this place again. I'll go elsewhere and get the wood glued to the thickness I need rather than deal with this expensive mess.

I signed up for a Bowl making lathe class at Woodcraft in Maryland Heights. Scott was the…read moreinstructor ant right from the beginning was friendly and brought out the Dad jokes. But in addition to jokes he taught lathe safety and thoroughly taught 3 first time turners how to safely and creatively make a bowl. I have never done a woodworking class before and I have been woodworking for 40+ years. Really enjoyed the class and Scott as a master turner. Highly recommend!

Tonight I took the wine stopper and cheeseboard class and it was a lot of fun. Small group and personal instruction. The supplies are of adequate quantity and quality as well. One of my favorite things is how you can explain the project you are working on and the staff all really are curious to learn and advise on a few ways and supplies to pull off the trick. They are focused on giving the right advice instead of moving sales and I enjoy coming in every time. I may come back for the bowl turning class soon too!

The only reason for the four stars is that when I had called before coming in, I was told because I…read morelive so close I would not have to pay delivery and there was no delivery fee. I think there was some miscommunication, which is upsetting. As much as we spent, I would have preferred to go somewhere else that offered free delivery. I also gave her the measurements of what we needed to fill, and we did not get the correct amount so I will have to try to get this corrected somehow. When we arrived, we went to the trailer building to pick out rock. It was nice that there were tons of staff to easily help us and it was pretty easy to pick out what we wanted and we gave her the measurements. She calculated it and gave us a price, so that was pretty efficient and helpful although it was not correct. I think there was a miscalculation I am unsure. There is a lot to offer here and they've been here for years. If you need help, the staff is super quick to help with no questions or hesitations. They are all very friendly. When they came to deliver, they called before they had my way to confirm delivery and address once they delivered. I wish they would have knocked to notify me or ask where I wanted the rock and said they just dumped and went so now we cannot park in our driveway until we get it moved.

Their selection was plentiful and of better quality than any other store I visited. And the prices were better too. If you need anything for your outdoors, go there. Also, find Danny.

Everyone I have come in contact with at this store is competent, and friendly. I recommend them highly.

Their customer service was excellent. I had just came from a different lumber store where there was…read morepoor customer service. Not only that, the lumber store that I came from was going to charge me $5 per cut for plywood that I wanted to cut into strips and I was told it would take an hour to cut the wood. At John Hall Lumber, I was greeted when I walked in and was asked if I could be helped. I was not given any additional charges for cutting the wood and the wood was cut in 10 to 15 minutes and they brought it out to my van and loaded it up for me. I was so relieved to find a place like this after the experience at the other lumber store.

Tucked in a cute little area on the other side of the Soulard Market, we felt like we were going back in time walking into the building. We love supporting local, and they really have kept the charm of old St. Louis. It's adorable. BUT being cute doesn't matter if you suck. And they definitely don't suck. They have all the essentials you could need doing standard work on your house, plus more. I was super impressed with their selection for such a small hardware store. You're not going to find everything, but call and confirm because they are super quick to answer and help. And the service you get. Wow! Their employees are super knowledgeable and eager to help. They're super easy to talk to and don't make you feel inconvenient at all. Such a cool, local spot that we will definitely be supporting moving forward.

The store and staff are amazing, and it just feels good going there. They're especially great bc I'm always clueless on what I need to do the job, so they help me figure it out, take me to what I need and explain how to use it. Beyond being a hardware store, they also offer rug doctor rentals and a variety of services you can't find many places, all of which come with the best quality and service: - key cutting way better than a big store - window screen building and repair - glass cutting (wish I knew this sooner bc I've been driving farther to get glass cut for side tables and such) - pipe threading and cutting - blade sharping - window glazing - lock mastering and rekeying and others I'm probably forgetting. It's way better than supporting a big box store! Shop local!

Great service, support and products!…read more We now have our second lawn mower from ARCO. We also have a leaf blower and weed trimmer. We purchased the first mower in 2009 and only just replaced it... it ran well and lasted 15+ years in much thanks to ARCO's winterizer service which, I now know that I should have winterizer it every year... I thought I had just missed last year... I hadn't taken it in for four years... ahem. Don't be like I used to be... do winterize your mower each off-season... commit to yourself to bring it in before Christmas. The first mower did not last longer than that due to an accident on a hillside that damaged it... I let it roll down the back yard hill and along the way it flipped and cracked the gas tank... ahem. Thankfully, the ARCO team was helpful; the first mower was really good and this new one, a 21-inch super recycler (it cuts each blade of grass many times) is AWESOME!! The new mower has much better wheels - thicker and better tread and they roll much more easily, and that is great. AND What really impresses me is the cutting. In spring, grass is always the thickest and we keep our grass tall, so when we cut there is usually a lot of clippings. I typically bag the grass but I did not use the bag this first cut. And I'm amazed... the grass is thick this week. The last time I cut, there were clumps of grass all around the yard, especially where I turned - this is not uncommon. This time - no clumps - this new dual blade makes many fine pieces of each blade of grass, and those small pieces apparently fall deep into the yard and serve to help strengthen the grass (per the Toro video on YouTube). I was also able to walk over the old clumps of last week's grass and they were shredded and disappeared, too - amazing! Thank you to the entire ARCO team, for the original sales and support and for this amazing new Toro 21" super recycler lawn mower!!

I was quoted a $60 deposit and $150 total limit before they'd call. It was clearly explained and I understood. I was told "2 weeks," which I also understood. 12 days later, I received a text that it was ready. Total bill was $123; it runs like new. ARCO explained the process, pricing, did what they said they'd do, in the time frame they predicted. Yes, I'll go back when I need them again.
