Super-friendly staff, awesome selection for fine woodworking, and jaw-dropping prices. Special thanks to Tim, who helped me out with explaining wood, pricing, etc (since it was my first time there). I’ll be back very soon to get more of that beautiful walnut!

I was recently planning a multi stop shopping trip on Google maps and Reel Lumber was one of the stops on my list. Being an avid woodworker and having been shopping at the Reel Lumber Riverside store for 20 years I realized that I have never given then an online review. Like I mentioned I am an avid wood worker ,I’ve done 4 kitchen remodels and a couple of garage remodels over the years building all the cabinets including hardware (drawer slides and hinges) from Reels’s reasonably priced quality products . The big box stores are pale in comparison to Reels product lines. You can actually buy straight flat lumber at Reel, something that is near impossible at the big box stores! Their hardware is equally as good with quality hinges and drawer slides at much better prices than the other guys. Their rough lumber selection is amazing , from alder to hickory to zebra wood and almost every thing in between! They usually carry most in various thicknesses and if you don’t see it just ask . I think moldings are really their claim to fame as they carry an amazing selection of profiles in all the popular woods. I like to make furniture and recently made a complete bedroom set for my mountain home in Lake Arrowhead out of a knotty alder I found at Reel. Tom the manager at Reel Riverside is my go to guy on projects as I would compare him to Norm Abrams of New Yankee workshop. If I’m stuck on how to do something he always seems to have ideas he’s willing to share. I would call Reel a gourmet lumber yard as I would call Rockler a gourmet hardware store and both are on my list when I do projects.
Reel Lumber is amazing! They have so many different types of wood and the staff are super knowledgeable and friendly. The prices are also great, especially for specialty or decorative pieces compared to home depot or lowes (if you can even find those woods there). I use them all the time for making decorative cutting boards, wind chimes, and the like. Highly recommended!
Reel lumber actually spent time educating me about wood - they made great suggestions for my projects and consistently exceeded my expectations. Imho they are worth the drive.
Super awesome staff, and selection. Excellent service, very professional, and knowledgeable. Definitely will be going back.
