I love Habitat for Humanity thrift shop in Peabody!. They sell everything from furniture to appliances & ceramic tiles to paint & supplies. I always find something I cant live without at this store. I just scored an awesome brushed nickel double plant stand for only $8! I also bought a 92 piece chocolate making kit complete with double boiler for $10! I recently made a bunch of chocolate Frankenstein pretzel rods for a Halloween party which took me about 12 hours. This kit would have cut my time in half! They also have a large selection of new leather products, including butter soft portfolios! Love, love, love Habitat!!!

Great prices. Occasionally they have authentic antique/designer furniture, which are on the pricier side. Referred by a friend here. We were able to get good appliances for our rental unit. Found some blue and white china to add to my collection! Lastly, they have the best prices for various light bulbs.

This is the second ReStore that Ive had the pleasure of visiting in the Chicago area, the other being in Arlington Heights. This location has a larger selection of furniture and styles. Ive noticed that the pricing is also much higher than the other store. With that being said, its still a bargain hunters paradise.

This is the place to go for one-off items. You can find nice, used furniture, appliances, tools, home goods, and home improvement stuff. Be prepared to commit to something that catches your eye. There is no guarantee it will be there next time. The store will hold larger items for a few days for you to pick up. They take donations as well.

Easy to donate my unneeded building materials, usable furniture and household items . A worthy cause to give money to as well. Helping to build homes for others is most satisfying! Please check their website for details on donating and specifics of accepted items. This is NOT the corporate office.

Store is disorganized. They are extremely overpriced, for example, they had a radial arm saw marked at $2200 when I found it in ebay for $199 exact same thing. When I questioned the price the manager wouldnt even discuss a price change, claims it sells for $7000. Dont waste your time.

This place is crazy on prices. This does a diservice to the community. They want to benefit to the fullest and beyond. Stop donating and put it up on offer up. Your better off then their cause of overpriced everything to the consumers.

This place has everything! Sofas, tables, desks, chairs, cabinets, lamps, silverware, you name it. The pieces range from outstanding top-of-the-line quality to affordable diy items. They dont offer delivery service but they have lots of suggestions. Dont let that deter you! The prices make the furniture practically a steal and the customer service is top notch! 👌

This used to be a weekly visit for me and I used to spend thousands here service is now poor prices are very expensive I mean very expensive the whole new concept here at this store with the raised prices on used things is just unbelievable I understand when it’s a valuable item it’s expensive but a set of used kids chairs for $120 a piece is just a joke, new it’s 120 I not coming back here again and I recommend people don’t either until they realize this is a used store for every one not just their favorites

Great place to go for everything for your home repair or second hand furnishings at a reasonable price. They have furniture, lighting, tile, paint, home & garden, mirrors/wall art, rugs, building supplies and even antiques. You never know what treasures youll come across!Also, the staff is friendly and ready to answer any questions you may have.

Review №31

The stuff was great,fairly decent place to shop.My only issue was that the prices they posted in the items they are selling are a bit unrealistic.Two bar stools in the $500s etc.Most of the store had old couches and tables.That is a thrift store.If anybody needs construction or remodeling materials go the Habitat in Gurnee.

I have been a long time customer and have shopped there and I love the fact they give money to humanity. Now this was my first visit back since they opened in Illinois from the cornavirus. Me and my fiancee are looking for a dining room table. Well we walked in and seen many tables and ran over with excitement when I was thrown back when I seen there prices. They have raised there prices 3 fold. They had tables that werent worth $30 for $195 and were trying to sell other tables that didnt even have chairs for between $595 to $995. I can go to any reputable furniture store for those prices.as we walked thru the store all there mechandise was crazy stools for $100.each I dont know what happened but there prices are crazy now. What a shock

Review №44

Terrible service—and this is coming from someone that used to work at a Habitat restore. We went in to buy 3 barstools, but were told we would need to purchase 4, as the stools we selected came in 2 sets of 2 stools (which was just odd). I called over the manager to see if we could come up with a solution to which he said “not possible”, became instantly annoyed and walked away, completely unwilling to assist. I was forced to buy all 4 chairs and “donate back” the last one since they wouldn’t break up the set—and yet, they still ended up with the 4th barstool anyways. The whole situation was completely ridiculous. Management could take a lesson or two from the Columbus, OH restore.

The manager Marcus is extremely rude and lacks the skills to effectively communicate with customers. He needs to be immediately fired. I have experienced his nasty attitude today but have witnessed his interactions with other customers.

Habitat does not pick up from the southside of Chicago. I purchased a set of cabinets from Habitat and never installed the cabinets now I need to get rid of the cabinets. Very interesting how they omit certain areas from their pickup routes

A great cause to donate to and fabulous place to shop for used building materials. Having worked with Habitat, I can say it is a nonprofit that really utilizes every penny for their cause. And the process of receiving a home from Habitat is not easy, requires enormous participation which builds pride and changes lives.

Came here for an orientation to start volunteering for Habitat for Humanity and was surprised to find out Restore was actually a store! I dont live anywhere near here so I never imagined it. The staff is great and are really working hard to make a difference. If youre interested in helping volunteer just look up the Habitat for Humanity website for their Chicago efforts and youll be able to sign up and pick an orientation date and time. You can help volunteer in the store or help on construction sites! Looking forward to helping out!

Yesterday I Purchased a small Vintage dresser that I have been searching for for at least a year when i finally find it and purchase its sold from under me! Clearly something has to be done about how sold signs are attached to the items so they dont fall off while being stored for pick up!! Super disappointed

Really getting very stingy with the pricing. They look everthing up on the internet and then price used stuff at 75% of retail.Used to be able to get good deals here. Now they are just taking advantage of folks who dont know better!

Hey everybody. Here is my review of Habitat for Humanity. A wonderful charity that does so much good but kind of difficult to make donations. They sent me a gifts in kind link but as my donation was more than $5,000.00 they explained that I would need to obtain an appraisal. A representative did recommend The St. Lucie Appraisal Company who was able to use my list of donated items to prepare the personal property appraisal I needed. They also completed the necessary IRS Form 8283. I highly recommend Habitat for Humanity. Call The St. Lucie Appraisal Company if your donation exceeds $5,000.00.

One of my favorite places to stop in and look for donated building materials. This place does not keep continuous stock of certain items. All inventory selection depends on what was donated.I find this location to have better inventory than other similar type of sellers.

Love me some H4H REHome stores. Been to this one and the one in Elgin a bunch of times. This one is good but the elgin one is awesome.I did find a brand new $1100 Steelcase office chair unused for 12 bucks. So im a pretty happy camper. Prices are way to high on stuff like powertools but guess thats excpected with chicago rents.

Honestly, I dont know how too many people gaveem 4 stars. To start prices too high. I came from humboldt park and all I can say is, what a waste of time and gas too. Not worth it, I had a different image but now I wake up. The name its a lie, I didnt got to see a board telling how they help communities selling at this prices.
