It is often a busy store--they cater mainly to the busy trade in the Melrose area--so be patient, but if you know what you're looking for, they're great and well organized. They even managed to find a paint card from 25 years earlier when we were trying to match a can from the previous owners. I am sure the legacy review have some merit, but it doesn't reflect my experience with this local business.

I've never written a Yelp review before, but today's experience at this Benjamin Moore compelled…read moreme. My 3-year-old and I stood waiting quietly for nearly 15 minutes for our turn to be helped. While we waited, my son calmly counted the rolls of painter's tape stacked on a shelf, not running around, just counting and stacking. Completely harmless. Out of nowhere, the employee began verbally berating me for letting my toddler make a mess and "be annoying." I was stunned. There was no chaos. There was no disruption. Just a bored little kid counting tape while we waited for service that never came. The tone was hostile, condescending, and completely unprovoked. If this is how they treat parents with well-behaved children, I can't imagine how they treat anyone else. If you want quality paint and a business that treats customers like human beings, go to the Benjamin Moore in Malden or Ace in Stoneham instead. They're friendly, helpful, and professional -- everything this location is not. This store has lost my business permanently. And we've spent thousands as we've renovated our home over the years. But judging by today, they never seemed interested in earning it in the first place.

I know what you are thinking... that' "I am not you, and you are not me and will go to this store and win them over", no, no you will not. Or maybe you are thinking you don't need help that you will be able to navigate the store without help. You may find what you need, but you still have to check out! And if it wasn't clear while you were shopping that no one cares if you shop there or not, it will be when you check out. I mean it's their last chance to ignore you and have a conversation with someone else. For the reviewer who said that this is really a contractor/professional lumber yard, with a hardware store attached. Yes, yes they are. They are also an Ace Hardware store. Do you remember the ace hardware store jingle? Ace is the place for the helpful hardware man

I will no longer buy paints from this shop; it is a total rip-off in the name of inflation.
