Realize there are two rooms to this store, the back room seems to be a lot bigger. So if you don't spot what's on your list in the room you enter from the street, go through the double doors & check the further back room. Or just ask one of the rather abundant staff, who will likely lead you to the appropriate section.

I visited the new Harbor Freight Store after the grand Opening,…read moreThey had everything I was looking for and it seems to be the closest store to Shelton, now there is no need to go to Lacey, Wa. I was welcomed with a friendly & warm smile, I am a disabled person and the Nice Lady there was very helpful as it is hard to me ignored and being handicapped. The only thing we miss are the coupons we used to get in the mail and discounts on store and if that is the case we stop at Walmart or ACE and save the trip to Olympia, otherwise it is a nice store.

Two words: Wendy Mitkowski. I was in dire need of paper, I…read morewas in the middle of printing off an EMPLOYEE HANDBOOK that was HUNDREDS OF PAGES LONG. In the middle of my printing frenzy, I ran out of paper. COMPLETELY OUT. I was unable to leave my office and unable to keep printing my extremely time sensitive documents. What was I to do? Then I remembered seeing a humble store on the corner of Legion and Plum, "The Creative Office," I thought to myself, "Yeah, I'll call them!". Thank God and all of his angels that I did call. I spoke with their darling receptionist, Lynika Clark, who then transfered me to my office supply angel, Wendy Mitkowski. Wendy could hear the distress in my tone and (presumably) she could feel the stress oozing from my pores. Wendy listened me to through my panicked gargle and she placed an order for me for one case of paper. One case! A measly amount compare to the more profitable accounts she holds; but it didn't matter. Wendy treated me and my small company just as she would the Queen of England. Within an hour a dashing young delivery man opened our heavy front office door with his meaty muscles. "A delivery for Abbey?" I was weak in the knees. Not from the delivery driver (duh), my knees were weak because my delivery came even EARLIER than Wendy promsied! She is the true Queen of Office supplies. Every time I place an order with her, I kick myself because I remember how young, and naive I was when I went to (puke) Office Depot. Wendy is an angel, my saving grace. Wendy Mitkowski is everything that I am, and everything that I am not. A true American Hero.

Joe walked me through the entire process clearly and effectively, he showed me a variety of chairs with a range of features and budgets. In the end, I settled on a Hayworth Fern chair. I absolutely love it! I was able to select the colors I wanted for my chair and added a lumbar feature which has helped with my back pain. I can now sit at my desk for more than 10 minutes without aches and pains! Thank you Joe and the Creative Office team!

There was a slot there for it, but it was empty. I asked an employee named Marsha if they had any in the back. She checked inventory and said they've been out since August 31. I was disappointed due to the drive as their website said they had it. As I was checking out, Marsha came running up to me saying she found a case of Shoe goo, and opened the case and gave me some. Saved me another trip somewhere else, so I'm very happy she took the initiative to check even though the inventory said they were out. Thanks for the excellent service Marsha.
