I arranged to leave the shelves and pick them up on Sunday evening. Come Sunday, I call and ask if they are ready, and say I'll be in about 5:30. When I get there, the guy who I dealt with (who usually works the counter) isn't in, but another employee brings me the shelves. They're a complete hack job - fully crooked, wood splintered off in pieces, and not to specifications - off by 1/4", some places too much and some too little. It looked like it was done with a poor handsaw - I mean it would have been laughable if I hadn't paid $180 for them. I measured them in store and showed the guy and voiced my concerns. Since the guy I made arrangements with was gone, I left my phone number and asked them to call me. He calls the next day, and when I explain him the condition of the shelves, he instantly turns belligerent and accusatory, saying I was trying to get out of paying for the shelves because I knew he hadn't gotten money for the job beforehand. I've been to this hardware store 5+ times over the last 8 months to have keys made and for various supplies. The guys who work there were always gracious and helpful. Unfortunately, that is no longer the case. Don't advertise services you CANT fulfill and then accuse your customer of being cheap when you just ruined $180 worth of shelving.

Easy, friendly, and reasonably priced. The place is small, but fear not, it has the necessaries!

My five year-old wanted to buy a purse at this store. She paid cash and when she got her purse, and when we got out of the store, she realized that the button was broken. I returned, and without question, he immediately replaced it, and also offered to order one with the exact same color at no extra charge. The immediate attention to customer satisfaction was a welcome refreshing interaction at a store. In a time when things are so corporate, it's nice to know they're still a bit of real New York on the upper west side.

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.

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.
