Had been shopping online for tables. Specifically for one to put next to my freeze dryer and/or move the dryer onto (because it’s sitting rather low on a nightstand). In lieu of putting the freeze dryer on it, I wanted something to put the vacuum pump on- it creates a ton of heat and having it right next to the dryer like I do increases the drying time.
I really wanted to find some place near me that actually carried a table. All the places that advertised stainless steel tables would only ship them directly from the manufacturer. “But what if…?” scenarios kept me from ever ordering one. Well Lo and Behold Carlson Ace Hardware in Prior Lake had one! Sure, it’s smaller than I wanted, and much more expensive… but it was in-the-store!!
I drove directly there. I mean, not only the only Ace Hardware, but the only store of ANY kind that had a stainless steel table on the premises.. one that I could take home that day.. one that I didn’t have to wait for shipping.. plus and plus! Sure, this table is actually meant for holding grills and not for other things, if you live in a closed box kind of brain. I think outside the box.
I looked at the shelves, the hooks on the back/side, places to put all kinds of do-dads.. I fell in love with it. Only problem was they wouldn’t sell me the floor model, which was understandable, they had a bunch of stuff on it with no place to go. They even had the manager-type that gave the standard gruff responses “that’s the floor model, it’s not for sale!”
It’s been my experience that everything is for sale for the right price or person. I know I’m not the right kind of person (not one of the ‘beautifuls’ that people fall over themselves to please), so I get it. I wasn’t expecting to get the one that was out together. Luckily for me they had one in the back.
The lady (I apologize for not paying attention to get her name) who helped me out was fantastic. You don’t see many people these days who will help the uglies (like me), who will bend backwards to make a sale and help someone out. She got someone to carry the one from the back out to my car. I was happy to get one. I found out just how heavy the thing is when I tried getting it out of my car when I got home, it’s still in the garage unopened. Now I gotta find someone to get it inside my house and on a workbench so I can put it together…

Had a great experience today at Prior Lake Ace Hardware. Needed 20 light bulbs for a house we were listing and only minutes to get it done. No ladder in sight and grabbing the bulbs at Ace and the manager sent me out the door with a ladder in hand to help out the cause! Sincere thanksEric

I had to buy a mower since I sold mine when I moved. They said they would deliver in three days after a very quick transaction... they delivered it the next day.

I drove 45 minutes to pick up my first chainsaw because this Ace was the closest that had the one I ordered online. It was kinda busy but they had a few employees working so I definitely didn't wait, the lady behind the counter was super attentive even though you could tell it's been a busy day. She knew exactly where my saw was and even talked me into Ace Rewards, and she even offered to get me the points I missed out on by not signing up for the rewards program before buying my saw! "I'll get you taken care of" was her exact quote, the older gentleman even took the time to educate me about sharpening the chain. Super helpful crew! If they weren't so far from me I'd be a regular customer there! Ty so much Carlson Ace team!
