Large selection of boards and plywood of many different species. Thats what I went for and I was not disappointed. I was able to get walnut boards and walnut plywood for my project. Excellent customer service too! I wasnt looking for it but they appeared to have a very large selection of casework as well.

This is a great place, Im glad I chose to buy my materials here. They really went above and beyond to help me find what I needed and get it cut to size, and all at a decent price. And the variety and quality of stock they have is amazing.

Stopped in for the first time at the Oak Lawn location to grab some wood to make some face frames. I was a little turned around as this is not my normal store but the staff pointed me in the right direction. I got everything I needed but had a bad experience when checking out. I parked my cart by the register and the cashier never acknowledged me even though I greeted him. He left the register and started marking down some measurements on a piece of paper rather than check me out. When he came back to the register, I politely told him I was ready to checkout when he was but was ignored again. He then left the register and asked another customer if they were ready and brought their trim to the back saw area. He then proceeded to cut and wrap her trim for the next 20-25 minutes. When she went to pay with her credit card he forcibly pushed my cart out of the way. It seemed odd because I assume he had already been helping someone else, which I was unaware of, and never once told me. I have been to their Lombard location and received better service and will continue to shop there when needed. Taking the high-road in 2020 - Hope his day got better!

They really are a great company there was not a time that I went in and could not find something the staff was very polite and friendly and guided me in the right direction each time. Just recently they set me up with an account since I will be going there more often and instantly save me money on my purchase. Keep up the great work!

Review №26

I really cannot say enough. This place is phenomenal- not only the hardwood selection and quality...but also the avaliability of rough cut S2S, S4S, even finished trim work, and a variety of plywoods.Prices are reasonable (downright cheap if youve been buying boards at a big bos store) and the amount avaliable and on-hand was surprising for what I assumed was a small location.The staff is friendly, knowledgable, and VERY helpful.If you are ever in the area check them out!!

O O O O O O OWWWW OWLA PLACE ON EARTH WERE THE EXOTIC WOODS ARE AS SWEET AS YOUR FAVORITE FRUIT, a place thats so exciting, you loose track of time, for an amateur woods men a place of endless hope and ideas, for the master craftsman, its like a hidden disco in the day time . Im a frequent flyer, because the service is impressive, every one is happy to help, no question goes unanswered... they simply care. This is a one stop shop for quality, a place where one couldnt be in the same isle with a master craftsman and you wont feel tiny ..... simply an addictive place

Customer service here was amazing! Usually heading to the lumber store is an intimidating experience but the staff is eager to help.
