    A cute Christmas scene filled with snowmen and bear toy soldiers.
    Joy B.

    Oh, where, oh, where did the Halloween decorations go? Oh, where, oh, where can they be? Well, there are no more Halloween decorations at Lowe's. : ( But, if you are planning ahead... they have a huge selection of Christmas decorations. There were some really fun animated decorations. I was totally in love with this reindeer that moves his head and makes noise, when you walk by. Then, there's a giant Elf on the Shelf. And, every character you can imagine from the Toy Story movie. The service was great. A lady who worked there looked all around the floor with me trying to find any Halloween decorations. That was so nice. But, they were gone. Decorations are not cheap...my moving reindeer was $250. That is why he is still at Lowe's. But, they did have some less expensive blow up decorations. You can find some of those for around $100. They had a wide variety of Christmas trees. So, if you are looking for Christmas decorations head on over to Lowe's.

    I did not peruse the store only the garden center. It was pretty busy on the Sunday that I was there. Their plants are healthy and the selection was good. I made it out of there spending just under $60.00. Prices for the annuals that I bought are a little bit pricier than Home Depot, but I was in the area and I decided to get it over with. I'm happy with the flowers I bought, but I will be going to the garden center near my home

    Light I needed

    Huge thanks to Cindy for saving me from buying the wrong light! I wasn't sure what I needed for my house, and she took the time to guide me in the right direction. She went above and beyond to help, and I truly appreciate her knowledge and kindness. Five-star service!

    False advertising? Manager didn't move the sign until I insisted it was false advertising.

    Management at this location is not good. I went to buy an outdoor picnic table and the product was out front with 2 prices listed. I ended up asking to speak to a manager to see if they would honor the lower price. The Manager seemed annoyed I was asking and said the product was clearly marked. I politely disagreed since there was a large sign with a lower price right in front of the product. The manager insisted it was marked correctly and only removed the signage when I said having it there was false advertising (which he also insisted I was wrong about). No apology for any employee error, just a bad attitude towards me asking for the lesser price (well within their profit margin). I've made several big purchases from Lowe's online and this location. I will spend my money elsewhere now.

    Driveway blocked by Lowe's delivery

    We ordered 12 (heavy) bags of garden soil to be delivered to my daughter. In our order, done online, we included instructions about where to put the bags. The delivery service did not read the message, did not knock on the door to see if anyone was home, and instead piled the bags in front of the garage so that my daughter could not get her car out of the garage and had to miss an important meeting. Lowes charged me $60 for this service and refused a refund, instead offering a $15 gift certificate. Even without reading the instructions, what idiots would stack heavy bags in front the (single) garage door? This is our second bad experience with Lowes's delivery! Brent Jacocks

    Lowes in Gaithersburg. Service and selection were good. Paint, Lawn Mower dept, Door department. All was good. Went on a Tuesday mid day and had to go to multiple sections. An employee (from garden maybe) assisted me with finding precisely what I was looking for in another department. All was good and I was all over the store. The cost for everything is too high and I am taking a star for that. For $7.48, I purchased this gorilla super glue and look how much was in it. Half full.

Stosniders in Bethesda was so welcoming. It is simply their culture. They are happy and totally professional. The total for a battery replacement charge, $5, plus the 2 pk I purchased, came to, $15.59. Money well spent!

    Sadly, after coming here for so many years - ever since it opened (we were there on opening day),…read morewe are saying "no mas" to the Kensington store. Why? Most would say high prices - but there is a convenience factor, and a safety factor (no sketchy characters in the parking lot - are you paying attention, Home Depot Aspen Hill?), and most importantly, the regular dollars-off coupons, which make the higher prices somewhat more palatable. So lets explore for a moment. Wouldn't you think that after so many years of coming here 2-3 times a week on average (sometimes more, sometimes less), at least someone there - one, maybe more - would recognize us? But it never fails. No hello, no "nice to see you," nothing. Instead, it never fails - one particular cashier NEVER fails to ask, "are you an Ace Rewards member?" Well, let's see - I was here yesterday, and the day before, and the day before that ... and you asked the same question - and I'm wearing the same paint-stained t-shirt - and I just handed you one of your coupons (which are for members only) - so, what do you think? So irritating. But, not the end of the world ... until the final straw. First, I'm in the nuts-and-bolts, serve-yourself isle - been there at least 100 times - and the same fellow (older) walks up and says, "so, do you know how to count up your items and mark them down?" Yes, old timer, I think I can handle that - let me see - four bolts, four washers, four nuts - yup, got it!! Again, not the end of the world - but really, how many times does this guy have to see me ... okay, never mind. Got what I needed and head to the checkout - I have lots and lots of items, about $100 in total. I avoid the "are you an Ace Rewards member" fellow and head to the other cashier. No hello, how are you, etc. She rings up the items and I put down my $10 off coupon - and she says, "that coupon won't work." Her logic - one of the items (and I have many) is "already discounted" by one dollar. So I say, okay, take that item and charge it separately ... she struggles with that a bit, and I still have over $50 and therefore, $10 off. And she says, "that coupon isn't valid because these items aren't discountable." So I say, "which items - all but one are Ace branded items - and where does it say on the back of the coupon that any one specific items here is not discountable?" Of course, the coupon says nothing of the sort - just some vague boilerplate language. After some further back-and-forth, she clearly is incapable of explaining her reasoning and clearly is making up the rules as she goes along. So I say, "tell you what - no sale - and tell the manager that you caused a no-sale of $100 of goods, over made-up rules that you can't explain." Remember, this is over a $10 coupon, which is a 10% discount off already inflated prices. (I also had the lesser $5 off $35 coupon, but - no deal!). I end up going to the big box store (Lowes Gaithersburg) and getting the same items, for much less money than what I would have spent, even if she had granted the discount. In a nutshell - what should be a friendly, local hardware store, where maybe not everyone knows your name but hopefully someone does, is nothing of the sort. Just a high-priced, limited-inventory place that I will avoid - and that, after spending thousands and thousands of dollars at this store over the years. We were so glad when it opened, replacing Hardware City - which was the world's WORST hardware store. But, we suppose the ghosts of poor customer service and overpriced items have not abandoned the building. So - Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice - avoid those ghosts of the past and endure the big boxes. One day maybe we will have a local customer-oriented store - the Bethesda store is somewhat better, but parking is a nightmare - sad to say, but unless it's an absolute emergency, we won't spend another penny in this store - ever.

    Overall, I have had pretty good experiences at Stronsniders Hardware. The staff is very helpful,…read morethe layout of the store is pretty straightforward and easy to follow, and the store has a decent inventory. During all of my visits, I was able to find what I was looking for or something very similar to the items that I needed. In general, I think the prices are pretty similar or a bit lower compared to those in other places. Unfortunately, parking is a bit of a mess, primarily because two of the three entrances for vehicles are located right next to two VERY busy intersections. For one entrance/exit, it's virtually impossible to make a left turn leaving the shopping center, and you can make only right turns for another exit. However, I will not necessarily fault Strosniders for this because these horrible parking situations seem to be pretty standard in this area. It's as if developers throw a million and three stores in a shopping complex without any regard to the parking situation or traffic patterns. Also (as of Jan 2026), the store is dog-friendly.
