Which one would you rather shop at?
Lowes____
The Home Depot_____

neither

every time I go into either store I leave pissed off

I stick to the local hardware stores

Both,i like hardware stores.

prefer a local mom and pop to a big box any day

Both of those suck.

hummmmmm
Why?

Home Depot...cause where I live..we dont have a Lowes lol

Menards.

Lowes never has enough staff to help you and Home Depot is to expensive. We shop at Menards or Highway 3 Hardware

Rhonda's House of Lingerie and Electric Tools.

Home Depot for me

There's never anybody to help at Home Depot, and hardly anybody who works there knows what the f*ck they're talking about.

Menard's has a bunch of Mensa flunkies working there, too. Their lumber is atrocious. Save big money, waste more time.

Lowe's is a 35 mile trip away.

Home Depot and Lowe's both, their lumber sucks

they are such a hurry to get it into the stores they don't let it dry. By the time it gets to the store you have to cull through 20 or 30 boards to find a couple that arent warped beyond being usable

But they're ideal if you want to make a rocking chair.

I've been a carpenter for 30 plus years and they both suk, if you ask me. Gone are the days when you could actually get a quality product from a knowledgable person at a reasonable price.
You can thank the pre-fab and dyi revolutions for that. imo

I used to be almost exclusively a Home Depot guy until earlier this summer. I do a lot...and I mean a lot of home remodeling on my own house. Basically I have been going from room to room over the past 3 years updating a 1970's house to 2008 styles. I usually went to HD because it is the closest and Lowes was across town. I ended up going to Lowes once because I happened to be in that area for some other reason. After that one time, I would much rather drive across town to go to Lowes. Their customer service seems much better than HD to me. Sometimes you can't find an associate in HD that will help you at all. The one's you do find sometimes tell you that what your asking about isn't their department and just shrug. I've haven't had that problem in Lowes yet. Also, I like the different brands and varieties of things that Lowes carries. Maybe it is just that it's different, but so far I like what they have better.

I worked for HD for a short time between my military and civilian careers, so if I was going to be biased I would think I would be biased towards HD.

I like what i a m hearing keep it comming.....

Humm neither one but have been to both since they are both very close to me. And well if it is something I have to buy there I do tend to go to Home Depot instead

Ohh and I have never had a problem getting help at one.

lowes... better prices... but i tend to go to home depot a lot closer for me

I use both but I prefer Lowes.
