Been coming here for years. Only issue is, you need to know exactly what YOU want and can afford before you go. Especially to pre-order it for pick-up to save time having them pull order from warehouse for pick-up. Otherwise you get lost or distracted at all the different kinds of beautiful fancy woods to pick from and all the things you could make (helps if killing time for in-person ordering and pick-up;) A bit pricey, as is everything these days, but you wont find 98% of this wood at a Hardware box store. This is the place if you need specialty wood to build furniture & cabinetry.
Im a worker there and i work in the mill and they NEED HELP BAD. its a great place to work and a lot of fun people but they need help!
Checked in at 0645 and was told they should unload around 0745. At 0800 I checked in again and was told it wouldnt be much longer. A daycab driver showed up and they said they had to unload him even though its first come first unload. When asked why they just said thats how its gonna be. This is after I called last week and let them know I was showing up. YOU DONT TREAT PEOPLE LIKE THIS....BAD FOR BUSINESS
Great place to get exotic lumber, hope prices go down. Thanks to all the guys there that helped out on my first visit. A Splinter Away, woodworking.
The aroma and smells of all the various woods is absolutely hypnotic. Paxton is an experience! Such a joy to go there!
I have been a regular paxton shopper for a few years. I know how hardwood places work. This last experience with them was quite disappointing. Paxton offers cutting, so long as there is a 4 foot piece remaining for them to restock. Guy told me they dont sell Partial board feet and was going to round up every foot of length to the nearest board foot, rounding in their favor. Would have amounted to an extra $15 dollars for wood I wouldnt be walking out the door with. I left without completing my purchase and went to Austin hardwoods instead even though theyre farther away. Not only was the same species more than $2 a bf cheaper there, but I didnt feel nickle and dimed by the people who worked there. They charged me exactly for what I bought. Thats how business should work. Probably wont be visiting Paxton again any time soon.
I been searching for a good place to buy special wood for a small project, and I found this place, with the good reputation this place has. IM SOLD, already... I cant wait to go here.. keep the good work.. Frank Paxton. BLESSINGS
If your a woodworker, you need to get your lumber here. Great selection, great people. No frills, just quality lumber at below big box stores prices. I save so much and get so much more. Most lumber is s3s and sold by the board foot. That means its surface on 3 sides and you will need to trim to the size you need. If your looking for dimensional lumber you can get trim here but not thats about it. If you have a table saw and want to save money go to Paxtons. Even go just to see all the different species of lumber.
I have to agree with Don,My experiences at Paxton have always been great. While my trips to the place on Santa Fe, always made me wonder why youd hire such a bunch of D-bags to represent your company and offer next to no customer service. Paxtons staff on the other hand is always willing to answer questions or give a board/foot price.Ill also say that Im a design student, so Im not buying large quantities of wood, rather a few nice choice boards here and there. I always manage to find something sweet, that makes me leave happy.
They are the best They helped my wife pick out the lumber that I needed as I was unable to
I’m having issues navigating your website with my iPhone. Looks like you have what I need. Please fix this issue with your website. Thanks!
Real lumber yard! The best!
Insane Customer Service!!! Its like you walked into your Grandmas warm house after a cold day, welcomed to a hot cup of tea and crumpets. They literally stopped me from walking out the door to save me money on what I was buying. Keep it up bois this is how you run a joint.
For over two years I have been using Paxton Lumber in Denver as the primary wood supplier for my small custom furniture business. They are always helpful, cheerful and glad to have my business, even for small orders. My shop is in Golden, but they are worth the drive and are easy to find once you get there, just off I-70. Great inventory and great service.
Always a great place to buy high quality hardwood lumber.
Great place. Excellent staff.
Very friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful staff, relaxed atmosphere, very good selection of high quality hardwoods at fair prices. This review is for the retail shop at the South end of the building where I go most often. Commercial side is great as well.
Came across the previous review while looking for the Paxton phone number. Have to say my experience has been very positive during the 20 years I have done business with Paxton. (Of course, I am one of those who are part of the Dirty little secret and pay retail.:) They have a large selection of hard to find woods and are my first stop when looking for quality wood in the Denver area. Helpful staff as well.
Cant say enough good things about this company. Everyone Ive met at the store, their deliveries, and on the phone are so nice and knowledgeable!
Great products, service and price! A much better place and selection then Austin Hardwoods.
Good place to buy lumber. Wholesale mostly although there is a craft shop for small orders
Im a small time operation but recently purchased enough cherry to complete around 120 of wainscoting, dry bar, base, and custom moldings in my basement including twice that length in cherry crown. The moldings all had noticeable mill marks but very little chip-out. Ive never seen mill work come out without the mill marks, so it was exactly what I expected. They paid close attention to hide almost all sap wood on the back side of the trim if there was any present. The delivery fee was very reasonable and customer service throughout the process has been outstanding. I was pleasantly surprised by the price. It wasnt cheep, but I didnt have to sell my first born to fund the project.Dont expect a cheerleader to great you like youre buying blue jeans at the Gap. Just expect professional help from knowledgeable staff.
Very friendly staff, awesome selection, and great monthly specials.
We love Paxton Hardwoods.Ty and Dennis, especially, are as good as it gets. Great products, great service!
Ive been to other stores and the staff seems to always seem bothered if you have questions for them. The staff at Paxton, however, are always accommodating, and eager to help. If given the choice, I always get my wood and plywoods from Paxton. I am a customer for life.
Great service, good prices, and theyll cut your lumber to 4 ft lengths if you dont have a truck.
Excellent wood variety & quantity and superb customer service. They also have smaller pieces for bargain prices for diy projects!!!
The best place in town for specialty hardwoods
The staff here is always helpful, patient and friendly
Great sales experience and great inventory!
10 stars. The kindest and most helpful staff, made us very happy.
Exactly what I need and fair prices.
Great customer service
