NEVER AGAIN WILL I SET FOOT IN THIS GARBAGE ESTABLISHMENT AGAIN! GO TO ACE HARDWARE ON 6TH AND SABLE RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER A MINUTE AND A HALF AWAY. THERE YOU WILL BE TREATED LIKE A HUMAN BEING. RUDE AND SHAMEFULLY UNPROFESSIONAL IS THE STAFF AT STRAIGHT LUMBER.

The customer service at this place is amazing! They helped me make a better decision on the type of wood I was getting for the project (they could have just not cared and gone with what I was planning on originally). They went out of their way to get the wood to me the same day! Tyler was super helpful! Thank you.

I got denied service because I planned on sending the building material to Texas. The reason was simply that they only dealt with local businesses.

Most unprofessional company I've ever dealt with. The fact they have been in business for 80+ years baffles me! Especially Tyler, a real piece of work he is!

Only place around that had 1-1/8 inch plywood. They were very helpful providing my Carpenter the wood he needed for my project. Real people actually answer the phone and they have great customer service!

Albert was the most Customer Unfocused Individual I have ever had the opportunity to deal with. I needed to replace a lock on my sliding glass door. Albert said he had never heard of my builder...who cares who the builder is Albert? Instead of trying to help me, Albert chose to tell me that my builder should be calling Strait Lumber. Albert, I have news for you, my builder suggested that I contact your company directly. Albert it will never happen again. You know they say, that for every compliment or referral you receive, maybe 1 or 2 people hear about it. Did you also know, that for every complaint

I'm actually glad Home Despot didn't have what I needed. It allowed me to find this place. The staff is considerate and helpful and the lumber is way better quality that that found at "big box stores".

It's a bit of a hike from my home but well worth the trip. I encourage the casual DIY person to buy lumber here!!
