I love the personal attention you get at this hardware store. Very knowledgeable, helpful, and polite. Also, they have good prices. I would go here over Lowe’s and Home Depot any day. These people know what they’re doing.

Great customer service! Happily answered my plentiful questions about their lumber. I brought in a diagram with how I was going to cut a sheet of plywood and they cut it for me so that it would fit in my car, easy peasy. And now I dont have to do an 8ft rip with a small table saw!They also have plenty of hardware!

This location has improved so much in the last few months! The garden center used to be full of half dead and usually bug infested plants.

Great selection of cedar and treated lumber, fast delivery, good prices (even during covid lumber squeeze)They even unloaded and stacked my lumber in the backyard for a delivery when I was away, so no one would steal any. Thanks!

Last of the independent, family-run lumber yards in Rainier Valley. These guys are old school and they have everything. Except t-shirts! When do we get some STEWART LUMBER t-shirts!?

Dealing with a knowledgeable pro in an old fashioned hardware store / lumberyard right in the middle of the city - PRICELESS.

Extremely attentive people. Small mom and pop hardware store that has everything. They are exceedingly friendly and will help you to the ends of the earth. Would rather come here than go to Home Depot. Only go to Home Depot if Im getting something giant they couldnt fulfill at this store. How good is this store? I live close to 2 other small hardware stores walking distance and would rather take the subway to come to this store.

Stewart Lumber is my go to lumber yard for projects around the house and yard. The shop is of course smaller than the big box hardware stores but it is crammed with stuff you actually need and want. For cedar and fir and other construction grade lumber I always come here. The quality is always superior to the big box hardware stores and the prices are better than the local chain lumber yards. They are open Saturday mornings and the staff is super friendly so if you have a project this is just a great place to start your weekend.

Couldnt get what I needed from the first three places I tried. These guys were able to have me out the door and ready to start my project within 5 minutes of walking in. Super nice staff and better prices than what I was looking at paying down the road. Would come back again

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.

Got keys made here. Staff was great. They had the blank I needed while I went to a Lowes and they messed up. Sometimes small hardware stores are the best to go to because they put more care into their work.

Review №33

I went for lumber to make drawers. The Stewart Lumber employee was very helpful. We located 1/2 inch CVG fir and he pulled out the lengths I wanted and helped me load them. There was a bit of wait at checkout, but that was because the counter staff was not rushing folks through and was giving them all the help they needed. And a little chit-chat, too. Like a neighborhood business should do!

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.

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.

Review №43

Been here multiple times as Ive been doing a remodel nearby. Horrendous service except for the guys at the front counter who are way too busy way too often. Everyone working in the yard seems upset that you are getting lumber or avoid you altogether. Was told I couldnt pick the lumber I was buying as it would lead to all the good lumber being taken. ...yeah thats the point. Im building something for a homeowner and they have high expectations as do I. If I pay $2 a foot for a piece of wood I expect it to not be a cracked and splintered throw away piece. Never going here again. Ill go out of my way to go to limbecks, dunn or any of the other small yet awesome lumber yards in town

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.
