This store is great. It has a really good selection of a lot of different kinds of wood. And a very good selection of hardware for the project youre working on. And if youre in the market for a new band saw they have a lot to choose from. It really is a gorgeous store. If youre a woodworker I would definitely recommend this store. Lots of toys!
The people are very helpful and friendly at Rockler. Its nice to have staff there that can answer questions and give good advice.
So appreciate a woodworking store with knowledgeable sales people who are willing to help solve problems. Jerry helped me find the perfect hinge for a custom built 9 window seat I was making for a client. He helped me brain storm, helped me find the product in the store and even printed out a spec sheet to help me with installation. Thanks again, Jerry!
Great selection of wood and turning blanks. Very knowledgable staff. Kid friendly
Seeking rail system for Sawstop table saw. They were very helpful. Checked stock and had it. Very happy.
I came in to purchase some Exotic lumber for a project. The Staff were very Welcoming and Helpful! The selection of lumber was better than expected! And I left with way more then I intended on getting....but I left with a smile and Ill be back!
The store manager took time out of his busy day to explain to me the many planes that they sell. I really appreciate all of the advice he gave me. Thank you so much.
Great place. Always helpful people there.
I picked up a Excelsior mini lathe and when I got home I found out that it was defective. I called the store and talked with Brian who helped me at the store and he was so sorry and said bring it back and Ill make sure that you get a good one! Well I showed up a day earlier then when I told Brian and then meet another great guy Jon. This is was the best exchange experiences that Ive had. As a first time customer I left there feeling like I was there number one customer. Thanks Brian and Jon!!
Always knowledgeable and direct. Every time I have a need for a tool or product, they have it, or can direct me to an alternative solution. Thanks guys....
Love this store. They are always so helpful and dont just read the box. The people that work here are passionate about their job. I love shopping here.
I Love this place. So much more than I thought, I love the selection of wood and the very helpful staff
What a great store for a woodworker! The Maplewood store has a great selection of tools as well as lumber. The staff is super friendly. They were busy, but no less than 4 staff members reached out to me and spent time just chatting and offering advice. Great experience!
The mill work was done to perfection at a reasonable price. Very pleased.
Rockler is closest for me. They have tools (power and hand), loads of finishing supplies, hardware, accessories and wood. Really everything a woodworker needs. And the staff is very helpful. Because its a long drive, I call and verify they what I need before leaving.
Staff is knowledgeable and give great suggestions.Love the new products and layout of the store!
A nice clean and organized store. A good place for anything wood related. I do relief carving and they have been out of basswood lately. Going to have to go somewhere else now.
Whenever I’m in the area I have to stop here, whether I need something or not. Best store ever. I can wander in there aimlessly longer than the wife can do it at a clothing store, or yarn store, or grocery store, or quilt store, or any other snore fest. Plus they do military/vet discounts, which is more than I can say for Menards or Home Depot or whatever that place is called where you have to send a check to whenever your wife runs a red light. Their staff knows a few things about a few things too, and you can find them easily. They might even find you. I’ll never forget my first trip there. It was so bright, like looking into the sun, so beautiful. I was enveloped in peace as I watched the angels checkin out the table saws. I could hear singing and then John Wayne walked up all covered in sawdust and clinging his spurs. He had a jack plane in each holster and one of them was a little closer to the ground, as his belt was crooked. He said “welcome pilgrim,” and to let him know if i need any help with anything. I said “much obliged” while trying to hide my Minnesota accent and bought 2 dollars worth of cedar and a new work bench for my 6 year old. It was the first day of the rest of my life.
Ive been going here off and on for years but really started getting heavy in to wood working lately. The knowledge and assistance at this store is top notch. Theyve never sent me down the wrong path as long as I make them fully aware of what Im up to. I will definitely be back.
Ive always been happy shopping here. If you want to start or expand your hobby this is the place. The guys are easy to talk to and willing to help find what you need. Their Rockler branded tools fit together pretty well and can make a project easier. Their website is great for shopping before you stop as the store.
Everyone was so friendly, genuine, and helpful. I everything I needed for my project, and all my questions answered. Great experience every time!
First time customer. Great place, great staff. Definitely will be back as long as my wife allows me to!!! Thanks for the great service!
The staff there is extremely helpful. I was not totally sure what I needed and the team there are knowledgeable and helped me get the right tools.They are observing covid restrictions of 15 people in the store at a time. We were counted going in and out. Dress warm or leave the car running you might have to wait for your fellow wood workers.Overall great experience. Rocklers are almost always good but this one was a notch or three better.
I love this store. All the guys working there are so nice and knowledgeable. Great selections of tools and I love the new expanded wood selection
I go to this store instead of closer stores because the staff has 100% of the time been friendly and helpful. Love it!
Just a warning, if you like woodworking tools, I mean reeeealy like woodworking tools, stay the heck out of this place! I went in “just to look around” ended up leaving $300+ later and only because my wife was patiently impatiently wait out in the vehicle.
Its not cheap, but its quality.
Very friendly and knowledgeable staff.
Had them hold an item I couldnt get in another store, and also exchange a few items I got in error, service was great and even got a discount that was available on the new items! Great experience.
Signed up for the Cheeseboard making class with Scott. The experience was incredible and I would highly recommend this as an intro course/step to woodworking. The experience took me back to the days of woodshop in highschool.I will definitely try out another class and would recommend Rockler Woodworking to a friend.
Very helpful staff found what I wanted
I like this place because it has higher quality tools and decent cuts of exotic woods but be prepared to pay. The old guys that wonder around are super nice but not super motivated.
Staff at Rockler are exceptional. I appreciate their advice.
Good selection of high to medium end wood working tools and supplies. Very knowledgeable staff that can help find solutions to your woodworking problems. Rockler also has a line of products that offer unique solutions to problems wood workers regularly run into.
Thay a lot to offer a woodworker
I highly recommend this store for all your DIY woodworking needs + the staff is always super friendly and helpful!
WhT a great store
My wife and I have had nothing but great service and advice here. We own a cabinetry business and constantly have a need to go to Rockler, we are like kids in a candy store here. No matter how busy they are they always stop by to say hi (they know us pretty well at this point) and take time to answer all of our questions without seeming rushed. It doesn’t matter if you are a novice and just starting or wanting to start wood working or if you are a master wood worker this is the store and location for you! Thank you Maplewood Rockler for always making us feel at home!
Always can find something at the Man Candy Store..stainless steel pizza cutter kits on sale!!!! Great Xmas presents..
The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. A great place to get your specialty woodworking supplies.
Like a kid in a candy store
Great place! Terry was very helpful to help me find the Arbortech attachments I needed. Thanks!
Outstanding customer service!
Even if you dont purchase something, there is always someone there to talk shop with.
Phoned in order and it was ready when I got there. They checked to make sure the product was available.
Good speciality woodworking tools at reasonable prices, especially when on sale.
Sales person was honest and friendly. He helped me load my planner into my car as well. Employees are always knowledgeable and great to work with. You can rely on Rockler for any woodworking tool that you thought you needed to special order. I will definitely shop her again.
Amazing as always!
Knowledgeable staff is always friendly and helpful. Great wood selection and lots of tools and hardware.
Great place for all your woodworking needs.
I went in to get some advice,which is always correct. They are always kind & helpful.
Helped me solve a woodworking problem
They’re a “woodworking” shop yet I can’t purchase a piece of wood at a certain measurement because they’re not allowed to trim their own product? They have saws everywhere.. they sell wood... but they can’t trim a customer a specific size piece of wood...?Oddest thing I’ve ever experienced..
Another wonderful Rockler Woodworking store. If you are interested in woodworking this is a must see place. They have things there that you didnt even know you needed? So stop by and drool but not on the tools!
Just in the Maplewood,MN store. Need assistance on dust collection system and I had to to figure it out by myself. No employee offered to assist me. Not until I was ready to check out did anybody talked to me. Then I had to wait on someone to come out the back room to check me out. I was in the store over an half hour.
Love the products and great service, both in store and online.
Their prices are pretty high, so I only go there if I have to. Based on the customer service, Ill go there even less. The guys work in a woodworking supply store, and its really a crap shoot if the person helping you knows anything about wood or woodworking. Today was just another example of poor service, I had intentions on buying several items including a fairly expensive tool, and I left without spending anything because the one guy was as rude as Ive encountered there. Ill be driving quite a distance now for the other option for this type of products.
People there are very helpful and nice.
Nice favorite of woodworking specific tools. Also hard wood to purchase including exotics. Great place.
If your into making stuff they have all the tools to do it. A fun place to visit
Not only do they have every woodworking thing youd need, they have a woodshop inside with all the equipment to actually do your project! Ive done a few projects - like a reclaimed wood table - and used their shop - for the joiner for example - because o dont own all that equipment. Just brilliant!
Had some good sales going on that we were able to take advantage of. Took a while to get assistance with some questions but staff were helpful and friendly.
Awesome, friendly staff - everybody Ive talked to over there really knows their stuff, and never has any problem answering my questions. Their deals are always great, and I love the project piece bin!
Ive only been there a couple times, but both times- excellent customer service.
Wood working delight !Would return again !!
Friendly, laid-back staff that dont try to oversell the upsells. Rockler has a particular selection of items it carries and doesnt veer very far from it ever, but the good thing is, most of the time, its in stock if they sell it.
Staff are very knowledgeable and friendly, helped me get exactly what I was looking for. Not always the cheapest option, but good for getting things you need right away or when you dont know exactly what you want.
Terry knows his woods, Tyler knows his stuff, those 2 are great. The store has a lot of jigs and stuff .
Friendly staff, very knowledgeable. Store is clean and well laid out
Always find what I want. Extremely knowledgeable staff.
Ive been to this location several times and I get more annoyed with each visit over the years. They are either out of stock or there is an issue with a return or the product wasnt up to my standards. Today was the final straw! I called ahead to verify that the store had what I wanted, in stock, like I almost always do, since I have a 40 minute drive. When the gentlemen answered the phone and I asked if they had the item, he quickly said yes but he certainly didnt double check, so I told him I was on my way. For some reason, I didnt press him on it and usually I have them hold the item, as well, but this time I didnt. I guess I thought, by the confidence in his voice that they had it. I was planning on head straight there and what are the odds that they would sell out of them in the next 40 minutes, right? Turns out the chances are pretty damn good! I came in asked there the item was located and he showed me the empty hook. Then told me he just sold them all AND it was the same guy I talked to on the phone! I couldnt believe it. I said I just called about that item! He said, yah I know, Im sorry about that. My advise, avoid the place if you can. If not call ahead, make the guy actually find the item, and make him hold it for you with your name. Ill never go there again, unless I absolutely have to. Thats the kind of service that will run a company right out of business.
Everyone was great and had no problems!
Always super helpful and friendly plus they carry the guitar lacquer I use.
Nice folks. I like the Flintstone garden out front!
Woodworkers tool shop.
Very knowledgeable staff that sell great products at a fair price.
Such a clean and amazing store
Great store, wish I had discovered it years ago. Tony was very knowledgeable and helpful.
I do not know what is nicer, the fact they have exactly what I need, or their incredibly friendly staff who always make me laugh.
Found everything I needed and great assistance from the staff
Called to see if a certain item was in store and in stock. Was told by salesperson we have plenty. ..Drove down from Scandia 1 hour later to find out they didnt..nice job salesperson. 2nd time this year.oh well found it cheaper online even with shipping.
Great place!!
The staff at Rockler is always very friendly and helpful.
