NOTHING challenges your inner serenity like a DIY project, but if home improvement is your aim, America’s Home Depot outlets have game. The range and depth of the in-store stock is impressive, and personal service is highly cited by store visitors: “The inventory is extensive and special orders are fast to arrive,” reads one comment on the website. “There are other hardware type stores close by, but I head first to … Home Depot because of the vast selection of items,” reads another. The BV judging panel has been impressed by the comprehensive inventory and meticulous attention to detail and service, and approves the Best Home Improvement Inventory (US) Award to The Home Depot.
