    Great merchandise and friendly staff. I'm from out of town, but whenever I'm in the area I check out Zabs Place. I've gotten hand made jewelry, kids' books, games, and most recently I lovely desk chair that matches my new desk. All at amazing prices!read more

    A furniture item that interested us was listed on Craigslist so we checked it out. It was just the piece for which we were looking. Employees made it an easy transaction and helped us disassemble it for transport. They even let us temporarily store part of it when it couldn't all fit in one trip. Would certainly recommend!

    There prices are higher than some other thrift stores. If you're looking for designer items, this is the place to go. Also, don't forget to check out the clearance rack in the back room. You can find some nice things for a quarter.

    What a great store! Love the shabby chic look of the place and there are always some great finds including refurbished furniture! And their goal and mission is the best part- creating work opportunities for adults with special needs . Definitely check it out if your in the neighborhood!
