Good selection of hardwoods and exotic. They ran out of Spanish cedar though so you'll have to go to Denver for that if you live in Fort Collins. They said they aren't planning on ordering anymore last time I asked.

Pulled in for a pick up and there no signs saying anything. So I pulled up and said I have a pick-up and everything has been paid for. There's 3 people just standing there looking at me like I dont know what I'm doing, and I don't because I have never been here. I asked the gentleman about my pick-up and he made me feel very uncomfortable, was rude when talking with me. I almost want to refund my purchase and go somewhere else. A little courtesy goes a long way. I can say that if I didn't need the things I ordered I would definitely refund it and go somewhere else. I definitely do not recommend going here.

Every time I come in here. EVERY time I come in here the staff is so friendly and knowledgeable. I even accidentally showed up three minutes before close (sorry!) and they never once rushed us and more than took care of us. They give great advice, and they don't talk down to you either. They know their stuff.

Awesome staff that's very knowledgeable and able to guide you through getting the right materials for your project. Selection of wood and experience is second to none. Greatly appreciate their willingness to point you to other locations if they don't have or unable to do what you're looking to do. Definitely will be my #1 stop for any time I need any materials the home. Due wish they carried some construction lumber as well. If they did, I could see that being the perfect 1 stop lumber yard. Sears Trostel is an exceptional store and staff!

What a great find this place was! We were looking for a place in northern Colorado that carries beetle kill wood for a project we were working on and came across them in our online search. They have a great selection of hardwoods, woodworking tools, equipment and supplies, etc. and service is friendly. This place is a million times more pleasant to shop at than Home Depot or Lowes and you'll get better quality as well. If you're renovating or are a DIYer or are into woodworking, this place is definitely worth checking out!
