Lowe's for all of your home improvement needs. Stop by the local State College, PA Lowe’s to pick up gardening supplies, check out new appliances and paint colors or try out new patio furniture. The store is generally busy and can feel overworked, with notable delays in departments like paint. However, many reviews highlight really helpful and knowledgeable staff. Employees are patient and understanding, taking time to walk customers through projects and explain options without upselling, even for small, affordable parts. They are great and enjoyable to learn from, with a team that includes women and older workers who know how to "do it yourself." Staff are also helpful in explaining member deals and discounts at checkout. Some prices are better than competitors, but other prices are seen as crazy and high, making some feel the store is for the very well-off. A common gripe is with corporate customer service, described as frozen in 1995. The only support for online orders is via phone, lacking chat or email options, which can make resolving errors slower and more difficult compared to other retailers.
