Treasure hunt place. This store has a lot of different material for your humble Adobe. The prices are very good. You do not have to spend a fortune to remodel a room or two. I bought two quality office chairs (in very good condition) for $10. They have many different flooring types and material, kitchen and bathroom counters in stone, doors, windows, etc. This is a go-to place!

The past managers Mike and Ken were professional, competent andhad good people skills. Shopped and donated to the restore for many years.The current manager, I do not know her name, is often rude, unfriendly and over her head in a managerial position. Incompetent is the word that comes to mind. Will not be back for a few months. Maybe she can at least insure that soap is available in the bathrooms and items for sale are marked. Pathetic people skills..... donations declining and/or not getting to the floor..... simply stored in the back building.

Perfect place to get great finds for those things you need for your apartment or home. If youre a do-it-yourselfer or handy man (person), you need to know about this store. Its like a thrift store, but its all about home improvement, not antiques or nick-nacks. Youll need your own hardware a lot of the time, but they also sell paint, tools, lots of standard and odd light bulbs. Tables, office furnature, rugs and chairs are catch as catch can, but there is always SOMETHING there. Its one of my haunts - the more often I stop by, the more accurate my stuff buffer is, the more likely I can get something for myself or someone else when the need arises.

This is the second time Ive tried to donate to Habitat. Both times Ive called and was told they close at 3pm for donations and when I show up around 1pm the turn me away because they are full. It seems they just dont care. So, dont waste your time by trying to donate to them, give it to the Salvation Army or anyone else.

Used items at discounted prices, profit goes toward a good cause. Save some money & recycle or donate a good product.

Review №11

The facility was very large with 2 huge buildings as well as stuff in the parking lot out front. But the items in between the buildings was considered inventory so wasnt available to browse. I told the guy that I didnt get the memo but there really wasnt any signs denoting the difference between whats for sale and what was inventory. Overall, there was a lot of stuff available for just about any project but we didnt find what we were looking for.

Wonderful customer service. I arrived at the same time as the driver Eliot and his drivers assistant Regina and they were very courtious to let me use the loading dock first, they even helped me load my furniture into my truck. The employees and volunteers at habitat are always so happy to help, I love shopping here.

Review №19

I live this store for some crazy reason. You will get dirty browsing here but you never know what youll find. Its not upscale or even upcycled but there is always the potential to uncover some great find. Its all household stuff from lighting to furniture to windows to faucets that have been donated. Mostly used. Some abused but some brand new. Its great if youre renting and need to replace a fixture without spending much. Merchandise will change regularly. Lots of leftover tile unused from jobs and bathroom fixtures like tubs, some with jets, all new last time I was there

Review №23

Its looking more organized than it was in the past. Some of the problems are some of the mix of items is a little bit weird difficult to find what you need kind of random maybe they should focus on fewer items. All prices should be kind of suggestion and negotiable where it makes sense because some items are the same as what the item cost brand new in the store or more even in some cases. The workers I talk to on todays visit were pretty cool.

Per the other (1-star) review about not answering... maybe there was a glitch. They are willing to pick up if needed! You can always call the admin. number, and they will help you.The store has a lot of good supplies. If you can find what you need/want, you can save a boatload of $, and your money goes to a great cause. Thats a Win/Win. The people are very nice and helpful, too.

Shopped here twice and liked it... It appears third times the fail on this one. Kudos to all the hard working staff & volunteers (and there are many of them!!), Im sad to say one employee had to ruin it for the lot. I drove through hell (1.5hrs from Oceanside) to get here before closing and was given the oops, sorry we already closed the register and... Ive got things I gotta do reply. A little kindness & empathy goes a long way, guess thats a lesson this guy never learned.

Very disappointed with this Habitat for Humanity. Outrageously high prices, much higher than other locations, and hardly any used Inventory. Tons of brand new, canvas wall art, but not much else. Almost new patio set outside, priced the same as in a store! Ridiculous! Would never waste my time going there again.

Review №46

Always a Hit or Miss here. Today... Ah, well, seemed bare and some things outrageously overpriced and damaged, HOWEVER.... You neva know.... Today everything in store was 50% off and I found a barely used ( but dirty) Dirt Devil vacuum. Retail $50, paid $5.00. cleaned up excellently-- like New! Its a treasure hunt is what this place is, DEFINITELY check it out!

Review №47

A great place to shop but somethings are over priced in my opinion. But sometimes they will work on the price. I know they need to make the funds to support there builds but I think they could move a lot more product if things were a little cheaper.

Review №57

Used stuff at 80% of the price of what you can get new at home depot/walmart. Well there are probably some discounts that are deeper than that, esp. when they run a half off sale on some category (like when I visited, and all plumbing stuff was 50% off, but theres no way to know if theres a special going on, short of calling them). Given their medium sized selection, and unpredictable prices, it hardly seems worth it. Also, the parking lot is super tiny and awkward to get in and out of.

Review №73

Ive shopped here for years and spent many thousands of dollars supporting habitat and reviving good old stuff. My latest experience was a rather disappointing disaster. I was shopping to furnish an apartment. I saw an armoire I loved and it was priced perfectly. Based on that piece, I decided to buy everything I needed for the unit all at once right then and have it delivered nearby for $50. I had some questions and the manager was incredibly brash and rude to me and the associate helping me. Finally I chose about a dozen pieces and accessories. I walked through and identified everything with an associate. I double checked and then triple checked as I paid, as the items were to be delivered. Upon delivery day, a glass coffee table was cracked (corner missing from glass top) and there was no armoire. After 3 days waiting for a call back, I was told I never paid for an armoire and that piece was sold to someone else. Super disappointed. Love this store, love this concept. I dont recommend delivery for th is reason and I dont agree with the managers leadership of the store. This is representative of her attitude and treatment of others. I will find other places to shop where there is more compassion and joy and attention to detail.

Ths is a place to come to every week if you are looking to remodel or build. The prices are fantastic, but availability and selection are catch-as-catch-can, and the place is organized slightly better than my a teenagers room. The first two times I went I wasnt able to find anything useable, but on the third trip I hit the jackpot. I spent $335 on items that would have cost ~$875. The Kohler Comfort Height w/c was new, the the 6x36 tub was unused (probably from a model home) and the exterior dual pane french doors were used in very good condition. I had to look at EVERY DOOR IN THE PLACE to find them, but they cost less than half of what the contractor could have purchased new, so it was time and effort well spent.The only real problem was that I had gone on this occassion to find tile for the bathroom floor. Oh well!

We went to purchase an extra door that we needed for our house. The cheapest door they had was $30, and even though we could have bought a new door at home depot for $26, we were already there, so we bought it. We had also purchased a sink for $40, which wasnt really a good deal either. Some items are worth it, like tubs for about $75 and windows starting at about $50, but overall if the prices we just slightly less, we would buy much more.
