THE WORST! This store lacks experience and knowledge of the painting trade and their customer…read moreservice is exceptionally poor. I've been painting homes for nearly 30 years now and had to laugh when the store manager Brittany, tried to tell me how the paint samples Sherwin Williams provides don't really match their actual paint products. We had a situation where paint mixed at the Douglas Ave. store in Des Moines was clearly different than the Sherwin Williams paint sample provided. This led to 4 hours of paint crew time lost applying a bad color mix from this store. After several phone calls and a return trip to give the store an opportunity to offer a remedy; for instance, store credit for the cost of bad paint etc. any remedy at all really, store manager Brittany doubled down on her bad product and service. Naturally paint sales are final for obvious reasons, but when your Douglas Ave Des Moines, IA store jacks up the mix, costs customers and contractors time & money, doing the right thing seems so simple. Best advice don't shop here. You'll get a better deal where the store and its associates care about your project and know how to do their job

We would talk to sales associates who were clueless and would subsequently sell us the wrong item. A case in point was some pie hinges for our new custom kitchen cabinets. When I finally was so frustrated with the home improvement stores, I walked into the Woodsmith Store and they knew immediately what I needed. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable and actually seem to be woodworkers, not just clerks wandering aimlessly. While there I also visited the garden center and was awed by the selection and the knowledge of the staff. I will be back time and time again!!!

The store is really clean, and there were actually employees walking around being helpful. What I like about these sized stores is that you can find your way around and things are geared more to homeowner type projects instead of contractors or renovations. You want to come here for those smaller projects, or if you need advice on something in your house. I wouldn't come here to buy yards of topsoil or huge piles of lumber. For us, it was in and out in 15 minutes to buy a hose, some seed and fertilizer. Prices were good (be sure to check out their house brand - it was cheaper than the big brands), and I found the selection to be good as well. Oh, and they rent tools if you need them - especially garden stuff (like sod cutters or rototillers)

I called the Clive location, and the young man who answered was very helpful and connected me with Mia by phone. We set up a time for her to come to our home. She was on time, super nice and skilled with color - How fun! She asked helpful questions, and both my husband and I feel like she tapped into what we're going for, while saving us a ton of time. There is no cost for the service, yet they ask that you purchase your paint from Sherwin-Williams for the project. I am happy to get our paint here, now. What an effective, productive set up. Thanks, Mia!

I don't visit often as I live 1/2-mi from Target & Menards is 6-mi up the road, so I stay closer…read morefor convenience & slightly lower prices. I probably visit once every 3-mos. Pros: * Big selection of products, great quality. * Good deals on clearance items. Some are well hidden, like discounted rugs around the corner on end caps, so ensure you walk around the dept to check for discounted items. * Lots of parking, wider spots to accommodate trucks. Be careful as you'll always encounter guys loading their trucks & barreling through the parking lot with large dollies. Cons: * As with other stores, if you check a product online & find it's in stock, it may not be. I find that 100% of the time. * It's challenging to find an employee to help find an item & when I have found someone, they are annoyed that I asked. Why? It's your JOB. And, why is it that stockers always look so dang miserable? I used to work retail & liked stocking as a break from routine. Still, you chose the job, lose the attitude. Good to Know: * Some things are way too pricey (like furniture & seasonal items like Christmas trees), but the quality is good. With the food & personal care aisles, their prices are often more than grocery stores, so choose carefully. Their cleaning products are often better priced than other stores. * Returns are easy & right inside the door to the left, but there's usually a line, so if you're pressed for time, wait... don't plan on being in & out in 5-min. It's a good store but I just rarely find what I need. Then again, I'm not looking for Home Depot type building items, just household things. If you have Home Depot type projects, you'll love it. 4* out of 5.

Some of the brands carried here are on the cheaper side. Definitely consider buying more well-known brands from Menards if you're interested in longevity and durability.
