This is my personal opinion for "The Stewart Lumber Co". At 7:45am I inquired about purchasing lumber and taking measurements for a sideboard for a Dump Truck, I was instructed to go to the back "Yard" area for assistance. I again indicated that I needed assistance with the purchase of lumber, and needed to have a person look at the equipment to ensure I purchased the correct material, the employee stated "I dont do that" and instructed me to go to the front office. I explained that the front office instructed me to come to this area. Again the employee advised me to go to the front office. As I was walking to the front office I saw what appeared to be an employee and asked if he was indeed an employee, he stated he was. I explained my request again, and the employee advised that he could assist and would need to get the forklift and would be back. After 10 min passed he returned with the forklift but advised that he was uncomfortable with assisting me as he was a new hire. Although I am aware that he may have been unsure of his capabilities, I still needed to have a person who was knowledgeable with lumber to ensure that I purchased the correct material for the job. I thanked the employee and advised I would be writing a Google review and taking my business elsewhere. Even now in 2013 it made me feel that due to me being a black man, my business was not valued, so I will not be returning to that store to do any type of business at all. This is my personal opinion about the situation. .

I love this place. Not just good service but seriously good buyers. Not all lumber is created equal and at places likes Lowes & Home Depot the lumber barely matches its supposed grade, and by the time folks pick through it, a stud grade 2 by is not likely to be stud grade anymore. At Stewart their lumber is always some of the best around - dimension lumber, siding, fence boards, whatever. They cant always compete with the big boys for house packages but aside from that, I think this is the best lumber yard in Seattle.

Amazing service! These guys & gals are awesome. I called the store and they automatically texted me. Was able to communicate with them easily via text and they even sent a photo of the lockbox I was looking for (to help me decide). When I arrived at the store, they were super friendly and knowledgeable. I was in and out with my lockbox in 3 minutes. They won my business for future tasks.

Im a deck builder, and I must say, Stewart Lumber is the best Lumber Supplier In Seattle hands down due to their supply, and quality to price ratio. Their cedar has a color that you just dont get elsewhere every single time. The people are excellent, I rarely have to return crap lumber because they get good stuff.

This is a great neighborhood hardware store. The staff are friendly and I can always get what I want on the spot or they can order it for me. I have been shopping here since 1984 - just over 30 years and will continue to do so.

The staff are friendly, patient and so helpful! I had a great experience here, especially in contrast to working with the poor folks at Lowes. I hope this great business stays in our community forever. Its a real gem.

Stewart lumber has competitive prices, knowledgeable staff, and free delivery (orders over $100). Free delivery on Mercer Island is a big plus so that I dont have to carry long boards in my car on the freeway.

Great service. Knowledgeable staff. Good products. Can order damn near anything. Youre probably lacking if you have an issue with Stewart Lumber.

Frank Kroger

Great local hardware store without having to walk 278 yards to get to your item. Service by real people who know what you ask them about.

Liam Stacey

Great prices, quality stuff, a lot more fun than the big box. By the way, they have the best prices for star drive screws.

Craig Ross

An olde school Hardware Store where personalized service is the norm. Dont see it, ask. If they dont have it, theyll get it!
