Better. Higher quality stuff. And prices are better than Lowes and HD, we have all three here. Stores are even much nicer. They are more of a regional store though than HD and Lowes. And about every 2-3 months they run a deal where they give you 11 percent back on anything you purchase. It comes as store credit but if you're doing a large project like a pole barn, it can save hundreds. Looking at that as we speak, might be able to about 200 bucks that way. Buddy of mine saved nearly 5000 when he redid his kitchen. He'd buy some stuff, wait for the store credit tonhit a few days later, go back and use that credit to buy more stuff. Rinse and repeat.
