Took notes but continued down the road to ReStore, where I found 2 suited to my size sought, and purpose. Both were selling for $60 each, one 3 drawer bombe chest (min $1K on Wayfair), and one antique 3 drawer with an inlay marque top, both in less than perfect but very good shape. Their staff was congenial, and assisted putting the bombe chest in my car, which BARELY fit in the trunk (yes, I expected this, as I'd brought a tape measure so was prepared). I also picked up a new under appliance (refrigerator) brush to clean the coolant grill for about $3.50 (min $8 at big box) and 2 white sconce glass shades, $.50 each ($11 at big box). They've enormous selection of building supplies. The only thing(s) in the entire store that looked not to be any bargain was the screws/nuts/bolts drawers, same as found at Ace/TrueValue stores, as they were priced the same.

I went to Home Depot in Leominster, Mass to buy 2 new toilets for my new home. The service was…read morenonexistent and deplorable. (and that is being kind) There was no one around to help me with questions, finding or lifting the toilets. In the box, they weigh over 100 pounds per toilet.   I had 2 customers that helped me! One helped me put the toilets on the flat cart and 1 to help me put them in my car. I had no help finding the flat cart, (not a regular customer) and was disrespected and insulted right to my face since another customer was cuter than I was... and he chose to walk away and help someone else. The other coworker laughed when it happened. I doubt you were raised to treat people so poorly. There was no one available to help me load my car, a customer saw me struggling and came over to help me get into my car. He then gave me tips on how to get it into my home. Thank you to the strangers. I need to return a couple of items that were not needed... guess I will be going to another HOME DEPOT to get my credit. Never again to the Home Depot in Leominster. If I could give you negative stars I would and will never go back to this store.  I am a female, kind and respectful - is it that hard for others to be the same?

Instead of taking customers first come first serve, he bounced between people as they arrived, taking care of anyone who had a quick request and putting off everyone else. I'm not sure why he did this, but he was very pleasant all the while. As a result, we were there for over 3 hours (no lie) when it should have only taken about 30 minutes. It was around 20 degrees too, so we were literally frozen on top of it. There was also a guy and his two kids that were there just before us, and they were still there even after we left. However, he didn't charge us for cutting the wood and apologized for the wait. We were happy with the quality and selection of the wood. Also, the guy was very knowledgeable and helped us to choose the right wood for our project. Had the service been better I would have definitely given more stars.

PLUS they broken our master bathroom countertop. What was the point of coming out to measure everything if you didn't cut them correctly? Thankfully, there was an unused slab of our kitchen granite that we used to replace that screw up. Our main bathroom top was a remnant and there was none left so we had to choose a new piece that we didn't like as much. And our master bath has a seam that was fixed but still doesn't look right. We complained about the job and while they had given us a multiple job discount to begin with, they only took an additional $100 off the cost for all the inconvenience and delays. Thanks for nothing.

I've purchased quite a bit of gravel, especially this year, and have tried a few providers. The very best provider has been Powell Stone & Gravel in Brookline, NH.

They delivered it to the precise spot on my property I requested, and their pricing was totally competitive. They are going to be my go-to provider for gravel from now on. The customer service was excellent, helpful, and professional. I highly recommend them.
