    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!

    Great place to shop, they have a variety of item, really good condition! And also they employ people with special needs, which I think is awesome, so is a way to help. Definitely coming back

    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!
