Did multiple trips here during a painting project for my new house. I like the paint center better here than at Home Depot.
Not to be sexist, but if you caompare any hardware/lumber store in terms of manliness then Lowes comes in last. So if you're looking for a place that you can get splinters and grunt about tools, Lowes is more of a hardware/lumber store with a veneer of a fancy showroom. But, maybe I am just old-school and grew up on the wood floors of Ace Hardware where everything is on the shelves waiting for you to knock them off and stab yourself in the foot.
