Rockler Woodworking and Hardware - Seattle

Stopped in to pick up some clamps and had the pleasure of meeting Kevin who works at the Seattle store. He was extremely helpful, friendly and, most importantly, knew his store and inventory well. His knowledge of Rockler products didn’t do my credit card any good 😂.
5 Stars for Kevin!

Such a great Woodworking store. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable, and helped this newbie find what I needed! I took a pen turning class here as well, and it was a blast. Nice small format (3-4 students) so it was easy to get individual help and attention.

My husband had called and put something on hold. I drove down after work from Everett. The traffic wasn't bad, got there about 9am, they weren't busy, picked up the item and went home. They were friendly and nice guys.

Kelley was SO helpful, patient, and knowledgeable. I learned so much from her as she advised me on what products would be best for me different projects. I’m newly getting into furniture refinishing and so appreciated her guidance!

I worked with Andrew to fix a glitch on my order of an 18" Jet bandsaw, they accidentally sold me two on a phone order by mistake. Andrew resolved that quickly and found out that it was back-ordered from the manufacturer. He followed up with me and stayed on top of the situation until they had it shipped. - I didn't have to chase him for the information, he was bringing it to me! Outstanding customer service!!

My bandsaw arrived in a solid custom shipping crate in perfect condition.

I've got it all assembled and ready to get to work. I look forward to many years of use.

My next shop purchase will again be with the Seattle Rockler Store for sure!!

You should visit and support this business. In this place I found the things that I did not find in Home Depot, or in Lowes, for the artisan carpenter it is perfect, for the cabinetry maker, necessary. Tools and quality materials.

Great place, has all sorts of helpful/handy tools for carpentry. Would recommend as well as their online shop which has a little extra and free shipping with $40+ spent. Staff is friendly and knowledgeable.

This little pencil here is super handy!

We needed to match a stain color and the staff was very helpful. Rockler doesn't carry the same brands you would see in Home Depot, but they have a wide selection. We found a good match and are very happy. Excellent staff and experience.

Excellent store and super nice and helpful people working there! Very high quality products and a nice selection of specialty hardwoods in an assortment of lengths, widths and thicknesses.

Absoltutely fun loving tree huggers work there but hey they like to talk wood and thats what your there for! Lots of different really nice lumber and friendly staff. What more can you ask for? Nothing

Rockler helped make my first furniture project a success! I disassembled the legs on an end-table so that I could reposition the lower shelf and reduce its height by trimming the legs. Despite my poor description, Rockler took the time to understand what I was trying to achieve, both on the phone and in person, showed me my options for parts, and gave me advice on what tools to use.

Always love coming to this store, been coming here for decades and everyone is very kind and helpful and points me to the things I'm looking for. They even share their experiences in case some of those may help me get my project done easier and better.

Best woodworking store I've ever been to! I've never had that much selection. There is only a Home Depot in the town I live in. And excellent customer service! They are super friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. I will be back for sure as soon as I can.

This company has an enormous and varied selection! If you enjoy working wood or dream of doing so, then this Rockler is a must!
There is an attentive staff, mostly woodworkers themselves, that can help you with almost any question you have.

Went to problem solve a woodturning issue I was having and Gary and Mike were both extremely helpful in thinking outside the box

The short version:
Great staff and store manager, decent selection of brands, and a WIDE range of products with decent prices.

The longer version:
Friendly and great customer service. If one person doesn't know the answer to a question, they will point you to the staff member who has more knowledge. Case-in-point, I bought my first hand plane here, and I was directed towards a gentleman who walked me through all the parts, pieces, and gave me the recommendation on which one to buy as my first one. He even directed me to a couple of online resources for hand plane guidance and care. The store manager is a super nice guy and had no problems immediately jumping on a register to help shorten the line of customers that had started to form on one of my trips.

The store layout is great. As stated by a few folks, their selection is pretty diverse, but I will also say that there is a HUGE emphasis on Rockler brand products, for better or for worse. Regardless, there is typically a range of 2-3 brands (minimum) per item you might be looking for.

One nice feature of the store, that I haven't had the chance to take advantage of yet, is their workshop. Surrounded by protective plexiglass, they can hold demos, classes, and let you try some things out before purchase. Haven't utilized it yet, so I recommend looking on their site or calling for full details.

I truly enjoy doing business with Rockler Woodworking and Hardware. The managers and sales force maintain a great supply of tools, materials and accessories and the place just has a great feel about it. The clerks are unfailingly helpful, knowledgeable and totally pleasant to deal with. This is definitely a primo destination for all your woodworking and cabinetry needs.

Always a good selection of tools and supplies

Manager is fantastic, very helpful and super friendly. Both times we have gone in he has taken the time to make sure we knew all our options for various projects. If interested he has a lot of knowledge on stains stains and coatings, as an engineer I appreciated his technical apptitude. We will definitely return for future projects and needs.

I was at Rockler Woodworking to see a demo of a small router table. Overall the demo was good got good idea as to its capabilities. As this was my first visit to the store scanned the whole store. It has a wide variety of hand and power tools plus other stuff that one needs.
The staff were helpful in explaining product use etc.
