I check this place out once every other week or so, so I like it, but. Sometimes the prices are out of line. Example black plastic pot for plants were $1, you can get them new for $.25 They sometimes don't except good items, so I stopped donating stuff cause I end up taking stuff back home and throwing it away. I feel like if you accept donations you should also deal with a bit more good stuff that maybe isn't exactly what you want. Good plumbing and flooring section But your paint brushes here. Same name brand brushes as home depot, half or less price.

I like the reuse of materials. You can find almost anything 4 the home. They have purdy 2nds, brand new sheets sets. furniture for your place. The profits go to building more homes 4 families. Different locations have different furniture. friendly staff that will help you out. My only real complaint would be the handicap ramp is kind of hard to get up ro the doors. Support Habitat for Humanity when you are able to.

While this store is packed with a variety of things to repair your home, I found the prices on some of the basics to be very high which limits who can really use the restore. They did have an amazing selection of windows and doors, you could easily furnish your house there with the variety of household furnishings they offer, just pay attention to sale tags because the discount helps! Really check those cans you buy, you may find that $2.00 worth. Of paint is mostly unusable when you can go to home Depot and buy your own new full paint samples of fresh paint for less than $5. Look around and dig deep, there are hidden treasures to be had!

They often get new DONATIONS from a variety of retailers. Typically the donated merchandise is outdated, not moving quick enough, substandard quality, unique items that weren't selling etc. They get everything from bed sheets made from inferior materials to flooring that is brittle and scratches easily. The ReStore doesn't consider the majority of their shoppers aren't interested in this stuff at the near (or above) retail prices they are asking. Due to this, some merchandise sits for months or years on the shelves making return visits seem like a waste of time.
