    This is a wonderful "hardware" store as we would call it in the States. I needed a car to go there though. It is vast and large, but not too large. A huge painting and flooring section. The outdoor garden section reminds me of Intratuin or other garden places. I bought a very nice hammer drill there. I was grateful for the WORX guy who was there on Saturday. He recommended a few brands. We didn't buy the WORX, but that was okay. The most valuable thing was the drill bits he recommended. We almost over-spent, but he suggested a more economical purchase, and they are great! The paint department was a bit scarce with helpers, actually most departments are pretty empty. You need to hunt them down - but it's like that almost everywhere.

    I've been to many Praxis stores but I really like this one. There is a huge variety of indoor and outdoor plants. You can find anything you would expwct to find in a store like this and the staff was very helpful! I needed help with some outdoor furniture and they took care of it

    I can describe it in just one word, Excellent!! This is one of the best DIY shopping places I’ve ever seen. Look at the photos to get an idea of what they offer.

    Very nice shop you can find many things . I go here for the plants . I went last time for buy the Christmas tree and I was sorry to see that there were so many trees with the roots cut, it will be nice if they sell just trees in pot .

    Would better go to a different Praxis store. This one discriminates against non dutch people. Not able to rent equipment here with a European passport. This was not a problem at other Praxis stores...

    On of the biggest Praxis I have seen around. Here you can find everything, from garden supplies, petfood, lights, curtains and everything else you need for any home improvement chores I don't know why they made the entrance and the parking area so weird. A lot of strange turns and blind corners due to all the stuff they permanently display on some of the parking spots. You'd think they have enough space to come-up with better lines of sight when driving. Do visit in hours when it's not busy, because it can be extremely busy!

    They have nice self-scan checkout, but what's the benefit if it is closed! And everyone has to line up for the single open cashier. Which also talks to colleagues and walks around... Seriously? Just put that person to oversee self-checkout and the is no queue anymore!

    Good place to get DIY stuff, biggest hardware shop, you can get all the tools that you need for renovation, lights, paint colors, drills, screws, bathroom sets, taps, also they have got separate garden tuin centrum where you can get plants, tiles, soil etc, if you need to renovate this is one of the place I would recommend and economical as well price, comes second though after Hornbach :), also you can get discounted items for Praxis Plus so don't forget to download the mobile app before the visit and you can link airmiles as well with the card, Happy renovating

    Sitting here waiting for a staff member for now 25 minutes. Store is so understaffed and the few staff there is is extremely rude.

  • 1/5 Anton Y. 6 months ago on Google β€’ 10 reviews
    Rich choice, but everything is way more expensive than on Amazon. Also, unfriendly staff, didn’t allow me to use a basket to bring goods to the car (that’s really not nice, I have a back pain and carrying in hands hurts physically).

    The young man Alex O. just helped me out. What a wonderful person he is. He really is kind and very helpful and he came up with great ideas that really helped me out a lot. I can't thank him enough. I hope Praxis also notices this. Keep up the great work Alex. You are great. Thank you again.

    Huge store, staff is very friendly and ready to assist of needed. Some are very knowledgeable and really know what they are talking about. Bit to hot inside last visit, especially considering they are selling loads of aircos and fans, they should use some for themselves

  • 1/5 Yousef R. 9 months ago on Google β€’ 3 reviews
    Based on my experience, I strongly advise against dealing with any Praxis store. Their lack of respect towards customers and failure to adhere to promised delivery timelines are concerning indicators of their service quality. It would be prudent to explore alternative brands or shopping options that prioritize respect and efficient communication with their customers. By choosing a more respectful and customer-centric company, you can ensure a better shopping experience and avoid potential frustrations in the future.

  • 1/5 Samet K. 5 months ago on Google
    Such a bad customer experience for buying the door. They gave me the wrong door and they are not accepting returns. This is not an experience such a big retailer provides. What makes you different then the under the bank producers?

  • 5/5 Erwin D. β€œFΓ»ta” D. 1 year ago on Google
    Praxis as you know it. A large warehouse style store with all the building materials you would need. I reccomend if you have extensive questions to inquire these at the "older" staff. The younge rones are ussualy working there as a side job or after school job. The older tend to have a bit more background knowlede of what they sell. In the end going to the counter is the best to find what your looking for they got a pc to look stuff up from.

  • 1/5 Jasna Stimac P. 1 year ago on Google
    very disapointed with the store. everithing empty, stuff playing around. the lady on the self service till extremly rude playing on her mobile phone while talking to me the prices wrong on many items had to pay more than go back to the store take the picture of the item to prove ob the till to get the money back. if you do not have enough staff do not work on Sunday.

  • 4/5 A O. 1 year ago on Google
    Great place to find all kind of stuff for your DIY projects. There also a garden/plants shop. Parking is free.

  • 4/5 Steven 1 year ago on Google
    Large store, has a good selection and also reasonably sized garden centre

  • 5/5 Prashant C. 1 year ago on Google
    You will get most of house hold stuff. A bit expensive, but real nice quality. There are also some cheap deals on the products. Garden section is amazing

  • 1/5 George A. A. 1 year ago on Google
    I had a very bad experience with returning a product. I honestly believe the returning service is something close to a scam. Elaborating more on this, we ordered a door that costs 130 euros. We payed in total 200 euros including the sending costs (70 euros give or take). After receiving the product we could see that there were differences than the one advertised in the site, and we decided to return it. When we called back and asked if we could return it ourselves they said that this is not possible and it has to be picked up, confirming with us that there will be no extra return transferring costs. Eventually we received another 70 euros check for the returning costs. Avoid using the return services.

  • 1/5 Cosmin E. 2 years ago on Google
    Unfriendly staff, wanted to help me with an artificial grass and bamboo screen, they pointed out, but had to waist 20 min, until I found them. The product that I wanted wasn't is stock even if they said they have it. Wanted to buy all of it, but requested them to cut it (they have the materials) but no help, no explanation.

  • 1/5 Anna B. 2 years ago on Google
    Nice big shop but service is very poor, takes ages to look for and wait for some help or assistance, although there are many employers (we’ve been there 5 times, all the time the same)

  • 4/5 nemi b. 2 years ago on Google
    You can find household materials and building items of any kind here. It would be nice if the labelling per section was done properly so customers don’t have a hard time navigating the store for the items they want.

  • 4/5 Terin V. 2 years ago on Google
    Nice store with wide range of items. Also has praxis tuin which has lot of items for garden and outdoor. Lots of parking available. Employees are hard to find but mostly helpful except sometimes when it's really busy. Praxis plus membership can give you additional benefits

πŸ‘ I've shopped here several times. It reminds me of the big-box stores in the US. It never appears crowded or busy and plenty of people walking around to assist. Also a nice fietsen (bike) part selection. This is a very large store, where you can probably find most anything you need.
