Do It Center in Burbank ain't bad. Not the greatest selection, but it's cleaner than most stores and almost never crowded. http://www.doitcenter.com/ourlocations.html

I don't know about Lowe's being better. They both seem to wallow in their own craptitude. Both have some of the most useless AND clueless people on the floor. At Lowe's they actually move their lips when they read. Lowe's is cleaner, Home Depot has a much better selection AND is cheaper. Lowe's plants cost more and look healthier than Home Depot's. Home Depot plants last longer and grow faster. And I'm convinced that if more lumber yards and stone yards didn't have holier-than-thou sorts working at them, places like Home Depot or Lowe's wouldn't be needed. I'd never buy from a STOCK lumber yard because every time I go in with my measurements, they act like it's a chore I'm trying to find straight wood. Pavers at Home Depot cost $0.10 = $1.34 more than the pavers at the stone yard, charges more for delivery and has an extremely limited selection, yet the people at the stone yards will leave you waiting for 20 - 30 before they even speak to you. But thank goodness I live where I do. I have Newland's True Value Hardware AND Aguilar Lumber nearby. Both have lower prices than HD (the closet is in Alhambra) excellent customer service and I'm contributing to the City of LA's taxes.
