The Woodsmith Store is amazing!!! During the remodeling of our home, we ran into constant hassles…read morefinding the items we needed in the big box stores. 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!!!

You don't even have to buy the block from them. The man who did the cut for both kids was awesome. He showed them after the cut how there are now grooves from the cuts they need to sandpaper off. He also showed us the different grades of sandpaper we needed to get it smooth. I love this place. Very helpful, knowledgeable, and friendly staff.

She showed us lots of options and help us make a decision in a fun, fast, and friendly way! This is such a cool service they provide by sending a color consultant out to your home for free!

Total color pro and fun to work with!

I called another store and they didn't have enough, so I called a third store. When I finally got a live person they seemed to have no clue what I was talking about. So I called the original store back and got the numbers for exactly what I needed and called the third store back again. Literally tried for over 40 To connect to a live person but no one answered the phone. VERY frustrated and one might want to look else where got the paint needs, esp from this store

I will never again go to Menard's, Home Depot, Lowe's, etc. to buy my paints or stains. The staff…read morehere is extremely attentive, knowledgable and friendly. The prices are comparable to the big stores, but the service is ten times better and there is no long wait in line to have your paints mixed. I took in a sample of woodwork and they matched with a custom stain within minutes. At the big stores, I had to shop from a piece of paper to match as closely as I could. John and his staff took the time to make a custom stain for me and removed all of the guess work. I will always buy my paints and stains at this location. They are the best!

My regular (aka go to) Home Depot!…read more Now do I enjoy going to either Home Depot or Lowe's overall...? No. I work in IT...I'm not exactly a big hands on, do it yourself, home project guy... The things that make me like going to this Home Depot... 1. The app. If I don't choose to buy the item online and do a pick up the app tells me what aisle the item I'm looking for is in and what section of the aisle I can find it at. 2. They offer a veterans discount. Not much... But it pretty much covers the sales tax here in Iowa anyway... It's easy to sign up for and add to your app if you have ID.me setup. Once it's in your app you just scan the QR code for the discount when you check out. Like any other Home Depot or Lowe's no one is EVER around when you actually need them. And I've learned to deal with that... Lol Parking is easy. The lot is huge and the store is fully handcapped accessible. They do offer a special parking space for veterans as well (one spot). The store is clean and easy to navigate. When I do need to flag someone down for help they are usually personable enough...when you can finally locate someone. The big picture... It is what is is. A HUGE big box store, with affordable prices, housing every item you could need for a project...and then some!

This Home Depot is great because they always have a great selection of things and sometimes have…read moresome good stuff at cheap prices. I've purchased plants and soil, cleaning supplies, flooring, paint, etc. I like that you can look up the item on your phone and it will tell you what aisle your item is located. I've even purchased products online and picked up the order here a few hours later at their storage lockers. Employees here are friendly and knowledgeable. They have bins where you can recycle batteries and Compact fluorescent light bulbs (CFL) for free. https://ecoactions.homedepot.com/blog/projects/recycle-compact-fluorescent-bulbs-the-home-depot/ Plus they are pet friendly!

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)
