As the author of The Most Crucial Knots to Know and The Motivated Amateur’s Guide to Winter Camping, I like checking gear setups at REI locations, and REI in Woodland Hills is a very nice store in an upscale shopping area. The store has a two-story design with a strong layout. Right in the middle there’s a spiral-style wooden staircase that becomes a focal point, and the mezzanine level above gives you a great view across the entire store.

Best REI in the area! Mike was so helpful from the moment I walked in. He saw me looking and wasn’t too pushy and just asked if I needed help.

He gave me his honest opinion on what I would need to buy and where else I could look since they didn’t have some stuff. Best REI, definitely recommend.

Purchased a backpack online and brought it in for a tutorial. Evan helped me so much, he adjusted my backpack at least five different times and taught me all about each strap and what purpose it serves. I definitely got the value and quality that makes REI surpass other stores.

I literally shop here because of your great stock but one person named Nate, stands out as exceptional always, and always has the answers, willing to help and really fast at the checkout! At the end jr flashes a smileSmile and moves on. I hope he gets a kudos and is appreciated. The store vibe is great walking in because of Nate. Peace to All!

I generally like this store but i ordered a camping chair on line to be delivered to the store because it had a quick delivery. when i called the store, i got a casual response that it it would be another few weeks. when i asked if that could be extended again, they said "yeah it could be".
