Im sorta embarrassed Ive never posted a review for them before. Theyve been five stars ever since we moved into the neighborhood in 1981 and they had everything we needed to get our old house working. But they were golden again this morning. I asked for a replacement part for my dehumidifier. Tom suggested that, since there is no weight on it, any rubber stopper might work. I tried my wine stopper, but that has a tiny opening to suck the air out of the wine, so I tried one of my many wine corks on hand. Perfect! Sorry they didnt make any money on this transaction, so I figured I should do this instead. Thanks again, Ace on Willy! Your fan, Lynne ME P.S. How do all five-star reviews give an overall rating of 4.7?

If you require wide aisles, noisy intercoms and a row full of light bulb choices, head to a big box on the periphery. If youd like to be taken down a narrow creaky wooden aisle to exactly what youre looking for, to be given helpful advice and to be offered the opportunity to buy just one of what you need, this is the place. And the prices arent much, if any, higher than those in the big boxes, especially when you factor your time and your vehicles gas. One of Madisons many charms.

I love sound of the creaking wooden floors as I look in aisle four for wood glue. The staff understands the needs of the 100 year old houses in the neighborhood far more than the big box stores. Unexplainable plumbing, window sash pulley assembly , old custom locks - they get it. The prices are slightly higher but I look at it as gas and time savings. Slow down and check out the ice picks and old tool collections. There used to be more stores like this - visit this one today.

Okay; dont get me wrong I LOVE this store. They have what I want and the long time associates are FABULOUS. They get right to the meat n potatoes. However, I did get one guy who seemed to be rather snobby towards my purchase of LEDs. I did not come in to get lectured. LEDs have saved me $$ and Ive had my one bulb going on 5 years. If people dont get hassled for incandescents, I dont want the attitude for LEDs.

Expensive, but everyone is helpful and its packed with an unbelievable number of items. And its very convenient. Also, they allow dogs and always have a treat ready at checkout. Wait, and balloons for kids.

A great hardware store. Knowledgeable staff and they have everything stuffed into that space. If you cant find it ask. This is what hardware stores were meant to be, none of this big box nonsense.

Staff is always helpful and friendly, almost always have what you need. I feel fortunate that I can walk or ride my bike from my house to this place.

Top notch. I have been shopping here for 38 years. It is the real thing: real people, real stuff, real wood floors.

Pretty tight in here, it is very well organized and they have everything you could need. This is a well-run shop.

Good folks operating a cozy hardware store in the thick of the city. Fantastic location. Dog friendly, too.
