Brown Lumber, Portland OR

Employees are all very smart and handsome, Brown lumber is Disneyland for wood.

-Definitely not a Brown Lumber employee.

Not only did they have everything I needed, the staff walked me through the store step-by-step to make sure I got the products I needed. I asked for things by name that I use on the other side of the country and they were able to supply everything. They cut my lumber to accurate measurements because I didn’t have a saw at my brothers house. You don’t get service like this anymore. Even if they don’t have what the big box stores have, they’ll order it. Support local.

These folks were amazing. They delivered the lumber I needed to my door. The driver was super friendly and I cannot recommend these folks enough.

Brown lumber is one of my favorite places to go in Portland. The staff is friendly and funny. The lumber is high quality. They are a good go-to for contractors as well as diy'ers. They've offered great advice when i ask, and always move quickly with orders. They even have a metal drummer on staff. You know. For fun.

Employees are nice. The owner however likes to be very rude and shame you for not being a contractor and having the gall to actually ask for boards to be cut to size, which they supposedly offer as a free service. I like to support non corporate, but not corporate does not necessarily mean the owners are any better grade people.

Great service and selection, fair prices. A locally-owned gem. Much more appealing than a visit to Home Depot. The only downside is that their hours are limited.

Elitist credit/debit only without entry into the business to get what you need in an industry that is, quite literally, hands on.it was suggested I go across the street and get a gift card from Safeway. Nah, instead I just went to Ankeny Hardware on Stark where I'm never treated like s*** and they gladly accept whatever form of payment I have, whether cash OR card.

I lived down the street from Brown Lumber for two years, and I can not rate them positively enough! Excellent customer service, fair prices, and a handy selection of tools for DIY projects. Plus the sign out front that tallies the number of times people have backed up into the pole is a hilarious addition. Would recommend visiting here for all your home improvement needs:)

Been in twice and both times the folks inside were nice and helped me find exactly what I was looking for

Friendly neighborhood lumber store that also carries some basic hardware supplies and tools. Helpful staff and easy loading at the side door.
