         Re:      Industrial Distribution Group, Inc.
                  Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-    )

Gentlemen:

         At your request, we have examined the Registration Statement on Form
S-1 (the "Registration Statement") filed by Industrial Distribution Group, Inc.
(the "Company"), a Delaware corporation, with the Securities and Exchange
Commission with respect to the registration under the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended, of 300,000 shares of Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the
Company (the "Common Stock"), to be sold by the Company to the underwriters as
contemplated to be named in the Registration Statement (the "Underwriters") for
resale by them to the public, together with an additional 45,000 shares of
Common Stock subject to an over-allotment option granted to the Underwriters by
the Company.

         As your counsel, and in connection with the preparation of the
Registration Statement, we have examined the originals or copies of such
documents, corporate records, certificates of public officials and officers of
the Company, and other instruments related to the authorization and issuance of
the Common Stock as we deemed relevant or necessary for the opinion expressed
herein. Based upon the foregoing, it is our opinion that the shares of Common
Stock to be issued and sold by the Company to the Underwriters will be, upon
issuance, sale, and delivery in the manner and under the terms and conditions
described in the Registration Statement, validly issued, fully paid, and
nonassessable.
