New to the hobby and bought my first table saw here two days ago. I paid for the order the night before and when I came to pick it up the next day, I was told my order was missing a part. Im new to woodworking and I couldnt quite follow what the sales person was saying. I asked if he could walk with me to the floor model so I could visualize what was missing, but he couldnt be bothered to leave the counter. I guess he already got his commission. The other three people I spoke with were courteous, patient, and helpful, though.
The selection and knowledgeable staff have been instrumental in my woodworking progression and tooling-up. The sales target bragging to peers as I’m checking out for a new >$700 router table setup is a turnoff however. Additionally some of the staff are aggressive about the “item of the week” and don’t take no for an answer. I spend a lot of $ with you regardless. Don’t lose me to Amazon over high pressure sales tactics.
The staff was really helpful, patient, but most importantly, enthusiastic.Im just dipping my toes into this stuff and they answered questions I didnt even know I had with gusto.It feels like the staff loves what they do, are passionate about woodworking, and love sharing.
Big thank you to Robbie, who helped locate the Supermax drum sander for us. Great job on customer service and getting us the sander. Thanks again.
Exactly what I expected: old guys playing with toys who love to talk about your latest project. Rockler is hobby-level tools with good fit-and-finish. The retail store has a good selection of hinges, pulls, pen blanks, drawer slides, and other Rockler specialties; its not a general hardware storeThe woods prices are a little higher than the cheapest box or lumber-yard, but not much. The woods pieces are almost perfect (as opposed to the roulette of lot woodpiles). The Baltic birch sheets are great to work with
This was my first time in the store. Very clean and well lite. The clerks did not follow you around but were very helpful when I couldnt find something. Other than the store is 50 miles from where I live I will defiantly go back again.
Had a great time taking the epoxy ocean class from Ray. Ill be back to take another one
I was delighted to see a busy — and well-stocked — store in these challenging times, and staff spotted me and stood by to make certain questions were answered to my satisfaction. I found everything I was looking for and was on my way in what seemed like moments, with no up-sell. Staff could not have been more friendly or helpful. What a pleasant retail experience! Thank you, Rockler of Concord.
I researched the item and read the assembly instructions. Also called ahead to make sure that it was in the store before making the 40-mile drive. The store staff was very helpful in locating it in the storeroom as it was an infrequently-sold item.
Great experience! Went to Rockler to pick up some milled maple and walnut. I dont have machinery to mill my own wood so it was very convenient that they carry these that are ready to be used (with minor adjustments). The staff were experienced, helpful and friendly. It makes a world of difference when visiting a store and the employees actually have personal experience and can share their knowledge and answer questions in depth. Thanks for such a positive experience!
It is almost an hour drive to get to this store. I needed Baltic Birch plywood that I could not find anywhere else. I also needed a piano hinge I saw on the Rockler website but was told “this is one of the stores that died not carry piano hinges”, WHAT? While perusing the store I found a vacuum hose on a close out table, all of which was labeled 75% off. This item was not in any box, rather just loosely coiled with cable ties holding it together. When to the register they would not honor the discount. They said “how could that have been on the discount table”, not my problem. In any other retail case I would have been offered at least a substantial discount, but was only offered 25% off. The MGR. Said they really shouldn’t even offer that, 10% would be more like it. Another item priced at $19.95 is $14.95 on their website, no offer to at least match the online price for a plastic item that must cost them less than $5.Lame situation overall. Bought my wood only, left and will never recommend this store.
Rockler has a great selection of products and friendly, helpful staff. I buy all my woodworking products at the Concord store.
I always look forward to my visits to the Concord store.On my last visit I was only looking for two items. A dovetail joint template and a few board feet of 1/2 X 6 poplar.I could find neither. I was rather surprised by this.So off I went to Amazon and ordered the template and Lowes for the wood.But Ill be back.
A woodworking store which supplies the hardware, jigs, lumber, and tools for you to complete your projects. Stop did you not build Cabinetry, or do Milling work for the public. It eats a lot of different classes on how to do different projects yourself, when you are at home. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable, and if they do not know something that usually know where to send you or how to find out the answer.
Great customer service. They helped me find the wood I was looking for, made a rip cut so it will fit in my car, and carried the wood to my car.
Helpfull, knowledgeable and friendly. Every thing you need for your woodworking business or hobby.
Very helpful 👌 staff all you need for a project in one place
If you work with wood, this is your playground. I get inspired in the isles, noodling over projects Im working on or considering for the future, and they always have the high quality, tailored solutions in stock. Plus its great to be able to bounce ideas and problems off of experienced woodworkers.
Super organized and clean store. A woodworkers delight! Friendly and supportive staff. Really wish there were more stores here but worth the 20 mile drive for sure.
Very friendly staff, always willing to help. Great selection of woodworking tools and supplies for all your projects. Highly recommended.
Love the guys at Rockler! I’ve started working on some home improvement projects during quarantine (like a lot of us), and Rockler is the only place I’ll go. I live in SF, but the quality of service and expertise far surpasses any Home Depot or Lowes between the city and concord. Shout out to Ray for helping me cut down plywood today!
I love this place. Im like a kid in a candy store when I go there. Everything u need for your shop and working wood. I bought the table saw crosscut sled instead of making one and it works well. Prices are a bit high but not for everything. I bought a bottle of Titebond III that was cheaper than Amazon.Customer service is excellent and the staff are knowledgeable. Worth the drive
Outstanding shopping experience, and they even helped me load my truck!
Helpful employees. Lots of fun toys!
Only place locally I could find some oak veneer. Looks like they have lots of cool things in there. The staff was friendly.
I recently bought the DeWalt Thickness Planner at a very competitive price, the service was outstanding. Thanks Rockler!
ALL OF THE STAFF ARE VERY HELPFUL AND FRIENDLY AND ALWAYS THERE TO HELP YOU ON A PROJECT.
Always helpful, and courteous.
They didnt have all the different sized wood screws I am using for my latest project. Im running low. This was my second trip to find all the different sizes.
This place is addicting. Knowledgeable staff of woodworkers. Prices are fair. Found out tonight they offer classes. Gonna sign up.
Very good knowledgeable
Very helpful & knowledgeable staff. Found almost everything I needed -- Rockler Universal Fence Clamps were out of stock. They were part of the February sale which expired on 02/27/2020. Hope I can get them at the sale price when they are back in stock. Let me know. Thanks, Vince Vargas
This is my favorite toy store for woodworking. Great products. Forget the big box stores.
Great selection and friendly, helpful staff. Would go more often if it wasnt such a long drive from San Jose.
Great parking very helpful service.
Staff is great, friendly and knowledgeable. Mostly I like em cause they will look at my pictures of recent projects. Im a Turner and they have decent advice.Wish you carried more turning blanks at affordable prices...
Good service and most items I needed were in stock!
They had just what I needed. I bought wood button screw covers and then I also purchased a classy looking bronze drawer pull. I was trying to find stem bumpers for my glass patio table but you don’t carry the size I need. The gentleman at the counter helped me find out what these were called and guided me to a place online that would sell the size and color that I need to replace Thank you!
This is a great store for all woodworkers. It wonderful to be able to see and touch so many products. The staff there are very knowledgeable about the items they sell.
Great customer service. Bought a piece of plywood an clerk carried to my car because I had injured foot. Also, they know where things are in the store or find out and take you to it.
Always helpful as usual. Mostly has everything in stock except.
Went in for a demo and found the presenter to be most helpful and informative . Because of his presentation, I purchased the item.Before checking out, I needed some additional items and once again, the staff was most helpful in finding the items for me.
Everytime I have shopped at Rockler Concord I have a great time the sales associates are very helpful and if you ask them for advice they are willing to give you to the best of their knowledge. They do a good job with keeping their shelves stocked the only reason for only 4-stars is because they dont have adhesive backed sandpaper come on guys.
I love this place so much I drive 55 minutes from the South Bay to attend a demo and buy new toys. The staff are very helpful and friendly too.
Its always a pleasure to visit my local Rockler store. The personnel are friendly, knowledgeable, and go out of their way to help.
Solid woodworking store. Great staff and interesting products for your hobby.
Excellent experience. If only I had the cash Id buy one of everything. The Woodworking equivalent of a Candy store. Also, the sales associate Brent was outstanding.
Everyone was very helpful. Picked up a Porter Cable dove tail jig. Boy was it s great price. I have no complaints about this visit.
Excellent service - had called in advance about one item, said they had it and they did. Plus when I got there and needed more specific help, he was right on top of it.
Very helpful staff and super kind!
Its wood worker heaven. What more can be said. Friendly staff, amazing assortment of shop stuff. Is it expensive? I dont know. What I do know is that: if its something I want-theyre more than likely to have it. Not some workaround or compromise, but the actual thing. Its worth it to me for that alone.
Experienced staff and a great selection of woodworking candy!
Very helpful workers, Said welcome and offered help as soon as I walked thru the door. Then others offered help as I cruised the floor.
I like Rockler a lot but Im not a fan of this location. Ive been to this one twice and I havent left with the greatest experience.Today for example, I was ignored while at the register trying to pay for my items.Ill keep shopping with Rockler but I will not be returning to this location.
Great service from Daniel yesterday. He found exactly the right kitchen cabinet hinge I needed.
My order was waiting for me after placing it over the phone.
Rockler is a dream home for woodworking hobbyists and professional woodworking individuals. They have a vast supply of items that are of supperior quality.Les Ruefenacht - Concord CA
The service was amicable, courteous, and they saved me some money.
Behlen spray cans selection really never full - Been in there over the months and they have the inventory tags but they just spread out the other inventory to fill in the missing product. Guess I will order on line from StewMac from now on.
After driving 2 hours specifically to visit this store, we found a very friendly and helpful staff, however, the shelves for the items I was shopping for were bare. 😔
The staff are great, very helpful.
Why oh why have I never heard of this fantastic and wonderful place until a few weeks ago??? Why did I give my money to HD and the other box stores for close to zero help or advice on my projects?You live you learn.Some of the most helpful, knowledgeable people imaginable. Plus This Store Is like a magical toy wonderland for the wood inclined... if you have any one to get a gift for this (or any) holiday season this is the place to go.Thanks guys! Especially for holding the store open past closing so that I could get a 13th hour tung oil purchase in!Rockler Woodworking rocks!
Friendly staff. Good knowledge of inventory.
PROFESSIONAL, HELPFUL, AND FRIENDLY PEOPLE.GREAT AND KNOWLEDGEABLE CUSTOMER SERVICE.
This store was horrible as I was shopping there I saw three men stealing tools off the shelf.The items are over priced.The wood selection is terrible. The employees know nothing. Having highly inappropriate sexual harassment suits waiting to happen. Save your money. Going to Woodcraft.
Great store with very helpful and knowledgeable employees...only wished they carried Festool again!
Great service
They pack a lot of great selection into this place; a toy store for wood workers.
Matt is awesome esome
Terrible customer service, wood guys usually are friendly, not here!!! Guy behind counter seems angry and unhelpful. Looks like I will be going elsewhere from now on.
The place to go for woodworking supplies.
Knowledgeable and helpful staff.
Very knowledgeable and helpful
Rockler rocks my woodworking world!
