I'm always looking at inventory or going in to just wander through. So many useful items perfectly good as they are or ready to be reconstructed into your own creative genius. Staff is always extremely helpful!

They have a lot of things for sale besides just building materials. What an awesome place for vintage door knobs and more.

A bit overpriced but the staff is very helpful and it's a great place to spend some wandering time you never know what you'll find. Often there are good deals and often there are some very questionable deals. Measure often and come prepared to haul. A quick look online before shopping for anything particular also a great tool.

If you're looking for that ONE item and you're willing to go on an adventure to find it, this is a place you should check out. along the way, you may get sidetracked by something else you see but it's all part of the adventure. i find that i like coming here with something in mind i'm looking for but i also allow myself to be inspired by things as i've walked through the aisles. sometimes i walk away with nothing and sometimes i get a brainstorm for some kind of project but it's a fun place to poke around. there are tons of things to repurpose and reimagine and you may be surprised the breadth of things second use has, but that's also part of the fun. it's definitely a used/recycled aesthetic which may not be for everyone but there's literally things here for everyone and anyone. think of second use as a field trip! if you've got an hour and are willing to poke around, you will be entertained and rewarded by the things you can find.

Great place to find deals. Would have given 5 stars but we brought some chairs their and they wouldnt take them even though they were nicer than some of the stuff they had. The worker was rude about it! Their loss!
