In Short
Run by the De Baca family since 1936, the store is a place where fix-it aficionados, drag queens, toy shoppers and hobbyists of all sorts come together to talk about the weather. From pipes and plywood to rainbow flags and goofy hats, they stock everything you never knew you needed. The ultra-friendly salespeople are always happy to offer suggestions and if they don't have something in stock (very unlikely) they'll direct you to the nearest specialty shop.

Cliffs has to have everything a person could want from hardware store. They have a great selection with decent prices. The workers are extremely helpful and knowledgeable. They are happy to help you out. The place gets pretty crowded, but that just means it is a great store.

Hardware supplies, household needs (small appliances to storage bins to light bulbs and more), a gift for a friend, cool lighting - these are just a few of the reasons I make Cliff's my first stop when I go shopping. 99% of the time they have what I need (and many times what I didn't know I needed) at a reasonable price. And to top it off, the services is A+! It doesn't matter what your age, Cliffs has something for everyone (yes, they sell some really cool toys too.) Check it out. You won't be disappointed.

Cliff's Variety is a great locally owned chain of shops in San Francisco. They have everything a variety shop does, like garden tools, kitchenware, lightbulbs, as well as a neat arts and crafts section for projects. The employees are super friendly too.
