For me:
everytime I've been has been fine? except when I look for a small widget that has 10 in stock on the website but there's none on the shelf because scumbags have stolen them all but 99% of the time it's fine
It is fine, unless you want a brand that doesn't have a deal with Bunnings, or unless you want garden furniture that is remotely durable, or unless you want some advice from someone who has experience in hardware.
Back when Bunnings was one of several large chains and small local hardwares were much more common it was easy, even Bunnings was made better by the competition. Monopolies are bad for consumers.
