Last fall, 2012, my roommates and I moved into an apartment near MTSU. Having come from the dormitories on campus, we had no furniture, but were hoping to purchase some for a decent price. Shopping around town, we realized furniture, in general, is very expensive. So much so that we decided buying furniture was not a possibility given with our budget at the time. Some time after our decision, a friend recommended that we check out the Habitat for Humanity ReStore, just for the heck of it. We were doubtful as to what we would find, because as far we knew, the Restore was the same thing as Goodwill, or the Salvation Army. However, much to our delight, we found that it was actually a lot more; there was everything from lighting, to entertainment centers, to desks, and sofas. Though we obviously did not buy everything, I personally bought an overstuffed armchair for seventy dollars, which was at least less than half the price of anything I had considered anywhere else. The gentleman who worked there was friendly and informative, helping me with the questions had. Pleased with quality of my purchase, I have since returned and bought a built in microwave for sixty five dollars, which I also expect I will be fully satisfied with. The ReStore really impressed me with its vast number of products and well kept facility. If you have not visited it yet, I highly recommend you do so- especially if you're a broke college student like me. It really deserves a lot more attention from the public, as it is truly a gem in the value of the products you receive.
BEWARE of this particular location. I can't believe I am going to give a charity one star, but here me out. They are very picky on each item, I dropped off a lot of valuable items like light fixtures, hardware, shelves from my home remodel - no junk at all! They treated me as if I was a burden and left me with nearly half of the stuff back to take home - even after I called in advance to if they accepted latex paint. There was a metal bathroom shelf I was donating, just like they have in the store. They said they didn't want to assemble and wanted to give back. I assembled it it the parking lot to show it needs no hardware purely out of principle because either was just so shocked a charity was like this. When I pointed out it is all put together she said, " yeah, i saw you put it together" I said, so you can take it? She said "no." She was just being stubborn at this point and her stubbornness took away revenue from the charity through a potential lost sale. Photo included of the fixture, plus other items like it that all work. (No chips on glass, nothing wrong it). Such a shame!
Horrible prices is pay less at home depot stuff inside looks like it has been ripped out of the projects they should lose there status as a charity for ripping people off I've been to restored in 7 states this is the worst selection and most extreme price gouging I have ever seem disappointed is a understatement board of directors should set price caps and give them a lesson in thrift pricing
I went in today out of curiosity, and was shocked at the furniture selection. I have been needing a dresser for a very long time, and while I was browsing the gentleman behind the counter came up and informed of an upcoming sale this weekend, and that I could save money by waiting a few days to purchase. I was blown away by the honesty, and I will definitely be making this store a go-to for all my home needs.
Enjoyed doing some construction work on some house. Learned a little bit more and had a good time.
