What a wonderful place for hunting for treasures. Our multi-branch family has been coming for 5 years now and have snagged many a treasure - at excellent prices. Please dont take those reviews seriously that say prices are expensive. Of course, you pay more for the spotless items than those with some loving wear. Weve added a brand-new dining room table, countless chairs, unique stands and sideboards as well as cute baskets, eye-catching pottery, fabulous kitchen wear including my favorite Christmas dishes, and even fireplace inserts. The staff has been marvelous - friendly and helpful. I so appreciate the pains theyve taken to make things as safe as possible during COVID. And a review wouldnt be complete without including Julias cafe and used book shop. Great coffee and healthy food along with a great ambiance for hanging out for hours doing work or just relaxing. A prized part of my life in Charlotte. Check it out!

A bit overpriced for helping folks, especially when most of it is donations. Prices on older furniture higher than antique shops. 😢 Sad

Lots of furniture and decor. Some building supply: few doors, large finish ceramic tile selection, some finish floor, lots of odds and ends hardware and tools. Excellent book shop attached (Julias).

These places are a JOKE and a RIP-OFF They are nothing but OVER PRICED and OVER RATED Junk Stores I can go onto any Walmart and purchase over half of what they carry and alot cheaper with a WARRANTY. Dont waste your time or money at any of these ReStoress.

I went to the Habitat for humanity store where they sell secondhand construction materials,which was donated to them by good meaning citizen of north Carolina.Here is my experience in that Wendevor street store.(1) very poor customer service(2) sky high prices for donated second hand items.(3) offers no help,when loading or unloading.(4) no refund.In my opinion the good hearted citizens (the donors) should consider who theyre helping? Is their help doing what was intended to promote?Thats my experience of today.Thanks for reaching.

They have amazing people working here. A guy even helped me to load tiles to the car as they were very heavy. Also I he helped me to lay them on the floor in store to see how they would match together. And they have a lot of great stuff, awesome selection of books especially about cooking. Love this store.

I called to ask about a 36 bathroom Vanity only to avoid driving to a store that was the same distance as the other. The lazy pertain that answers the phone says.. We have a vanity but youll have to come see. I went there and wasted a trip when she could have asked an associate to check. DONATED FREE ITEMS AND PISS POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE! ILL NEVER GO BACK.

Store is well sectioned off so you can generally find what section you want. After that its something of a treasure hunt to find something particular, I strongly recommend browsing. Also have a neat little coffee shop / bookshop connected as well.

Use to love this place but the prices are getting too high.I picked up an old IKEA chair (7 years old) that had missing pieces and lots of cosmetic issues. They sold it for $35. It’s originally $85. So a 7 year old chair with missing pieces is only 58% off. Seems high.

Fairly busy store but I seriously doubt you will find the best deals here. I feel like youre better off to spend a little more for brand new in a few things. Sometimes you can find that rare item or good deal.The library portion was nice, there is a lounge area where you can read and have a cup of coffee as well as a chess board, which, you can see we took advantage of.

Ive gotten some great furniture here. Most recently an amazing wardrobe. It is much needed in my 1930s house with limited closet space. There is also the cedar chest I got be for our extensive collection of wool sweaters & blankets.

This store has some great finds. I an greeted very cheerful when entered and thanked for dropping in when leaving. We have made some wonderful purchases there. You need to drop in frequently as you never know whats been added. Time and imagination can make your DIY projects less costly and interesting. Also store is very clean as are the restrooms.

Above and beyond in Customer Service. Staff members walk floors and available to assist. When they did not have what I was looking for staff member continued to help by exploring other avenues such as other items recently donated etc. Vetted as genuine in wanting to help and caring.Much variety and quantity to choose from. Great accountability and organization of inventory. Good organization, accessibility and display of items placed on the floor for sale.

Review №46

The coffee place inside was unique, while the coffee was exceptionally delicious. As for the store itself I thought everything was far too overpriced to buy any used item most of the furniture was older than me. I say just browse for any antiques if thats your thing, and get a awesome cup of coffee!

Review №47

This location (Wendover) is one of the largest, but also most expensive. They must have an appraiser who knows what they are doing. Plus, they have the square footage to be able to hold on to furniture for a while. Still, the prices are pretty good, and we go here often to see what is new.They have furniture, lighting, kitchen cabinets, tile, and some home decor. Everything is donated. They have started selling new mattresses, also.

Ive always enjoyed going here to look for good deals. They pretty much have a little bit of everything in here. Although today, i noticed that the furniture and rugs were somewhat overpriced, as was pretty much everything in the store. Considering that everything is donated, you would think that the prices would be more reasonable. They have an attached coffee shop as well and the coffee is actually quite good. If you took the time to read this post, please take a 1/2 second and click like. Thank you.

I was at Wendover store to buy some small stemmed glasses. The displays were organized, clean & easy to shop from. I knew I could find just what I needed & I did. Also got cute Nespresso cup & saucer. There were a couple of ladies working in the kitchen/dining area this morning about 10:30. Please let them know how pleased I was with their tidy displays. I always appreciate people who take pride in their work-so thank you.

Great selection of used furniture cabinets and building material. its like a Home Depot thrift store. some of the furniture pieces can be pricier but theres still a few good finds. definitely cheaper than buying new cabinets if you can be flexible on size Etc. also an excellent vintage second hand Bookshop and the entire store helps a great cause

Prices are to high for used furniture, and etc...! Not sure how the employees that work for them are hired but had a bad experience with the red headed lady in the back where the kitchen cabinets are. Very Rude and lazy! I ask the lady for help about a kitchen island she didn’t not get up to help me. She sit in the chair and made an extremely smart comment to me! She needs to work on customer service skills!

Review №58

My apartment is furnished from this store...from lamps, light fixtures, a chair, fire screen, wicker mirror for $5. I bought a bowl for $4.00 that was made for the Diplomatic Reception Room in Washington D.C. that sold at Tiffanys for $100! I just bought a chair for $15 that was made for Harvard (It had the emblem on it) and it originally sold for $200. I googled to find this out, so there are some great finds there! Also there are several stickers on items....the longer they are there the lower the price goes!

Habitat for Humanity is great charity that supports the community in so many ways. Difficult to donate though, we filled out a Gifts in Kind form but since our donation was more that $5,000 we learned that we needed an independent appraisal. We were recommended The St. Lucie Appraisal Company, however, who did a great job preparing our personal property appraisal and filling out the IRS donation form. When you want to donate and your gift is over $5K call St. Lucie Appraisal. My highest recommendation for this wonderful charity.

Review №66

The money is used for a good cause, but youll be paying a lot for the items here! Plus they have big flying roaches inside the warehouse! If youre looking to support a good cause, this would be the place to go. But if youre looking for something on a budget you would be better off at a thrift store.

Review №67

THE PRICES ARE WAY TOO HIGH. I wouldnt mind paying for a good cause. All of their items are donated yet they turn around and mark up 80% of the retail price. Paying that much and you dont even get a warranty. I havent seen very many houses being built in the Charlotte area. Seems like the executives should take a pay cut so they can build more houses if theyre going to keep the price is as high as they are. The volunteers are wonderful!

Review №68

You can find just about anything here. They can be a little pricey on some items. For example the smallest drinking glasses (not even a set) may cost 1.00 or more. My granddaughter wanted to know why the glasses were not .50. They also had donated Panther auditorium chairs for 75.00 each! Most of the helpers are polite, helpful, and knowledgeable. I go here anytime I am going to do home renovations. Great prices on tile!!!

Review №72

I always find SOMETHING in here! I did have a specific item in mind, but it sold right before I arrived. Normally customer service is great, but my husband and I were disappointed today. Upon entering the building my husband went to the counter to ask about the item we were looking for. A male associate was talking to a customer and a female associate was standing there as well. She was not actively involved in the conversation, but just standing there. She looked at my husband, but did not greet him in any way or say that someone would be with him shortly. She turned away and continued to listen to what was going on between the male associate and the customer, so he was forced to seek help elsewhere. Thank goodness the young lady he found was extremely pleasant and helpful. Im sorry I didnt get her name because she was wonderful!

Review №73

Oh my goodness. When you first walk in, it looks AMAZING. Then you get down to it and realize they are insane. This is a junkstore, sweeties, not an antique boutique. The prices are high. Very high. Stupidly high. Hilariously high. I laughed all the way out of the store. I know these guys need to make a buck, but this is absolutely absurd. Go here and try it, but be prepared for sticker shock.

Visited store today and will not return to this store. Found a chair for a $1.00 and when I went to check out the cashier refused to ring up the purchase because according to her it couldn’t possibly be that price and her exact words “that people do things” to insinuate that the price had been changed on it when I clearly pointed there were three exact price tags on the chair. Refused to accept it was a $1.00 until she one of the workers on the floor who confirmed the price. Never had this experience at other locations. Horrible customer service to insinuate that I change the price,

I love coming here to look for the odd chair, pillow, stool, lamp, or picture frame. Ive had to come a few times to find something in particular, but I rarely leave the store empty handed. Today, I bought an old stool [$3!] Ill strip, paint, and recover; and the guy in front of me bought several odd things like a bowl, decorated Tim, and trailer hitches. :)Great deals (though watch some things are overpriced), and definitely a place to check out!

Fair varied collection of items from lamps and kitchenware to whole donated kitchen cabinet sets. Occasional rare find. As a community non-profit store, it offers items you wont find at your local Goodwill for your home projects. Most household-type items do tend to require a few more dollars than comparable items at other non-profit stores [Ie. Salvation Army, etc.].

Review №97

I have volunteered at the ReStore since its first year. I embrace the concept that the prices are set according to the original or current value focused on half pricing or less. There will be many deals and many steals!The ReStore is not a thrift store but rather a store selling items according to the quality to the best of the research. If an item does not sell at the initial price, it can be reduced at some point to reflect the optimal selling point. Many volunteers and an awesome staff make this possible! And proceeds are directed for the desperate need of affordable housing in our community.
