If you need something right now or have any questions, the staff are super knowledgeable and can answer detailed technical questions and make recommendations on basically any home maintenance project you can think of. Even when I've had weird questions or need technical advice for art projects or other super outside the box requests, they always have knowledgeable suggestions even when I never would have expected them to have an answer! That's what makes a place like this worth it over somewhere like Home Depot where none of the staff has any technical knowledge. Plus they have literally everything you could need for an apartment or dorm, which makes sense considering they're right by a university.

I was in the area and stumbled upon University Hardware. I was looking for Ball glass jars, one can never have enough of these wonderful jars. I found different sizes and nicely priced. This store had just about everything, there are aisles and shelves galore to find what you need and items you didn't know you needed.. Staff is very friendly and ready to help. The checkout process is fast and easy. Take 1 train to Columbia University stop, 5 minute walk. If you're hungry after browsing and buying, there's Tom's Diner ( Seinfeld) nearby.

I…read morewas shopping for housewares for my new apartment, and this store was one of several options nearby. I walked in here, and I was able to find some items that I needed for my new place. This included supplies for my kitchen, bathroom, and bedding. They have a little bit of everything, and in some interesting styles. I personally like keeping my place minimalist and in conservative colors. And I was able to find items that fit my tastes too. The staff were alright. Checkout was quick, and I chatted with the staff while I waited for transportation. NYC had a heat wave that day, and I was not hauling things in that crazy weather. This was one of many stop for me thus far. No regrets, and I would return if I needed more housewares.

I tend to prefer Marshalls over TJ Maxx due to availability of deals and quicker lines. This location in Harlem was surprisingly better stocked than the ones in Brooklyn and going early, it was a much smoother and pleasant shopping experience. The shelves were more organised, the lines were shorter, and the prices were the same, if not better. The only thing is that there's no bathroom inside (that I could find) and there are cops inside, so that might change you're experience.

On the whole, it's well stocked.. that is within the normal Marshalls/TJ Maxx goods they sell. One issue at this location, the checkout - which makes you serpentine through a maze - is often slow with needed additional staffing. That being said, would much rather shop at Marshalls here than Burlington across the street!

If you are budget-conscious, dont look to buy anything here. The owner is not rude. He's busy. Ive spoken to him once, briefly during my initial visit. Any other time Ive visited, he's been pre-occupied, which was fine with me. Ive never had a personal convo with him, but hes done business with me over the years via proxy.

I couldn't be happier or more satisfied with both companies. Ilona at Demolition was so helpful and patient with me. She went out of her way to help navigate what would or wouldn't work for my project. She she spent loads of time to find the perfect solution to my unique security problem. She was candid and had loads of amazing tips for the care and feeding of old wrought iron. This project would have stalled without her. The pictures show the iron door in the second stage. Final painting will happen when the weather warms up. Thanks Ilona it's been a great experience. You have so many beautiful things, I want more!

The only reason I can give this company 2 stars is because I have to admit that their customer…read moreservice is responsive. That being said, I will never purchase another furniture item from Kathy Kuo and recommend you don't either. First, I placed the order back in October and didn't receive it for months with delivery dates constantly being pushed back. I understand there are supply chain issues, so I took less issue with the delay. However, the item also arrived completely defective with the wardrobe doors and handles entirely uneven so that one of the doors wouldn't even close. Then, for the first week I had the item I kept hearing loud popping noises coming from it (I thought I was going crazy). Upon further inspection, I saw that the popping noises were actually from the wood splitting and cracking all over. Customer service agreed to ship a new one, but when the delivery company arrived they weren't told it was White Glove (even though that was the original delivery method). I had to send it back with the delivery company and am still waiting for the item. Perhaps most frustrating of all is the fact that they wouldn't arrange to have the defective piece picked up and told me "I could keep it", which meant I had to figure out how to get a massive wooden wardrobe out of my NYC apartment on the second floor by myself. Oh, and they use Metropolitan Warehouse for delivery which is horrible. Seriously, so horrible that it was my first ever Yelp review I've left (this is my second). Anyway, I feel duped and could have had a functioning wardrobe months ago if I had avoided this place.

Edited to add: The items ordered were delivered on…read more3/4/2026. Furniture appeared OK just checking upon delivery but two pieces were missing some washers that are supposed to hold screws inside. Had to bring the pieces to a local hardware store because it was an odd size. I didn't feel like calling the company again because they have been incredibly irritable to work with. They only called me after seeing my reviews on trustpilot asking me to remove my reviews. I will not be removing a thing because everyone should KNOW what's going on. If I could give zero stars I would. This company is a SCAM. They charge a lot of money for products that take weeks to even leave their warehouse. We placed an order almost 3 weeks ago- an IN STOCK ITEM- that I was promised arrival by 2/21. After speaking with a supervisor, Sean, I was told they would ship the item by the EOD on 2/19 or first thing 2.20. The item wasn't "shipped" until 2/20 from Texas to New York. It is 2/24 and the item is still "awaiting pickup" I am now being told it will take another 2-3 weeks to arrive to their warehouse before scheduling a delivery date???? Absolutely f**king ridiculous. You can't get in touch w a single person over there- even with direct phone lines and email addresses. No one answers unless you call the claims department. I'm so over this company already, and as someone in the trade, I expected a much better experience than the one I got. So disappointed. 10/10 would not recommend, would never order from here again.
