We coordinated (ok, my wife coordinated) a pickup from our curb with them and I have to say it was the smoothest donation process yet. We've done things in the past with a few other organizations that were good, but not as communicative. This group called when they were 30 minutes out, wrote up a receipt and left it with us (all masked up during Covid) and took every single item. When you're clearing out, I feel like there are three tiers: Sell; thing like our newer dresser, bed frame, and other items that people are always going to need. We used FB Marketplace and sold each item in 24 hours or less. Donate; items that might be more niche like art, TV stands, end tables that need a little love, etc. That's where we utilized Habitat. Scrap/trash: We utilize KCMO's large trash pickup and while they have skipped it a time or two, it's pretty good overall. I haven't been into their store to shop around myself, at least not yet, but it seems promising. Highly recommend if you have donations that you can't load or haul yourself!

Donation pickup practices are horrible. Never again will I donate to this company. Employees…read morewould rather watch than load donated furniture.

But I wasn't buying one of their very fine table pieces - or their cross sections for whatever tickles you fancy. No, I was picking through their scrap pile in the back! It's about the size of a school bus, and it's basically non-precious cuts left over, or cuts too thin to be utilized in their impressive showroom otherwise. They charge around $9 per piece - I bought a 7 foot walnut slab to transform into a wall-mounted coat rack. Cost me $9.50. They'll also clean it up, plane it, and cut it down for a fee. I didn't do it, but it's nice to know they're so accommodating. They're definitely in a location that's a pain to park in front of if you're coming up the hill from the west - as there's a double line, and no turn around for over a mile. But once you make it - and though their place is wildly unrefined - you'll find a sort of boutique lumber mill of accommodating patronage. I'll definitely be back to visit. The wood's fair, the help is knowledgeable, and the stock is spectacular. You'd do well to visit too!

The scrap pile would be more accurately called the treasure trove. Really great pieces of green lumber at giveaway prices. $9 for anything you can lift into your own vehicle, if it takes a forklift, they'll shoot you a tiny number first. The died lumber indoor is pricier, but still a bargain. Super nice folks and a great selection. Very good website for this sort of operation too...

Best selection in town. Grade 8 course, fine, metric, both grades. Awesome. Sure, they've got a bunch of weld stuff too. Best part, theyre not confined to selling Miller helmets because they sell Miller welders, etc. Several brands of stuff chosen by the owner for value and longevity. Cool weldup projects to test your skills, quick clamps etc all the way up to weld fixture tables. A guy should take a half hour and see what they've got. A+

I'm scheduled to be in KC on a project in October. This is July. I stopped by Schutte to inquire about what's available in a knotty T&G 1 by 6 for a job in October. The guy immediately gives me a speech about how he can't price anything or discuss availability for October. We just don't know what we will have in October, blah, blah, blah! The guy was making me want to throw up on his shoes. I get it. It's the "Covid Curse". Here is my issue. He didn't offer one solution! Actually all I could think about was this,.... If I owned this business I'd fire his negative sorry ass! I was ready to buy today for delivery between tomorrow to October. I'm tired of problem solving for people who are supposed to be in SALES!

Even better, unlike most other wood suppliers, this particular delivery arrived by forklift right to my driveway, and was placed exactly where I wanted it. No need to unload from the truck at street in a mad rush, or worse, arrange delivery separately from the nearest port. Upon initial inspection, the Cumaru looks beautiful. Do expect some fairly curved boards (order extra just in case) but this I think is unavoidable with very long boards: I highly recommend a deck board straightening tool/wrench. This will "save" those boards and also this precious wood resource. Salesperson was responsive and helpful. Don't forget to end-seal most hardwoods after cutting.

We discussed coming up that Saturday and I told them I'd call back with a definite time for that day. I then called back to and left messages two days in a row, the last one stating we would plan on being there at this time unless we heard back from them. Then when I drove up there on that Saturday, no one was there, no one answered their phone and over a week later, I still have not received a call back from anyone at the Barnwood Farm. While we never had a verbal confirmation on the Saturday appointment, when you call two times two days prior and over a week later, still have not received a call back from anyone, new business obviously is not that important to this business.
