“I stopped by last week w/ my 2 garden hose in hand. A young man sold me what I needed, connected them & explained what the problem was. He did this patiently and without looking at me like I was stupid. I really appreciated his customer service skills!”

“A coworker of mine recommended I check them out and I went to look around with not much intention of buying the first time. First impression: So big they had to give me a map. Staff was nice. Business seems like they are busy which is a good sign to me. Meaning product is probably regularly turning. The room focused just on turning stock is larger then say a Michaels or TJ maxx. Breath of product can not be understated. I have never seen anyone come remotely close to the amount of live edge slabs they carry. Saying they have for sale A few hundred for sale is probably selling it short. The standard 4/4,6/4 and 8/4 SKUs were typical standard product with a wide variety but nothing too crazy outside of breath of product. Pricing: this would be my only “meh” spot. They’re competitive to other hardwood lumber spots in central NC. For a place as vast and with such wide selection, I would have expected them to blow out the competition. Now, lumber is a commodity with heavy macro pressure, and prices change daily so it could be tough month in cost. I won’t hold it against them. Conclusion: definitely check them out. Friendly staff. Well organized place. Huge variety and worth the exploration as a woodworker.”

“Had a great experience as a first time buyer from this company. Had a hard time finding the right fit for a disc harrow for my Kubota BX. Talked to Quentin from the sales team and he got me what I needed. It was delivered quick to a local shipping location and I picked it up with my truck (was loaded for me on a pallet). The disc works great for my small tractor and putting in food plots. Thank you for the great service!”
