Its a great store, new inventory being brought in all the time. Specials on items being marked down. Check by often for really good deals.

Habitat is always on point with the best friendly staff and the good customer service. I have been dealing with habitat since they were on Witt Street off of Knollwood street. Great place to shop!

I called up habitat for humanity a couple of weeks back to donate a mattress and a bed frame that goes with it. I scheduled an appointment, and one day before pick up I got a confirmation call as to what time they will be coming the next day. We were told beforehand that due to the covid situation that no one will come into our home, and to put everything outside our front door. We dissembled the bad frame like they asked, and just shortly before their scheduled arrival put the mattress outside, because they called and said they would be there in 20 minutes. No one came. I left a couple of messages, and got a call a few hours later and was told they won’t come today but the next day. I asked what time, I was told afternoon. No one came the next day either. We certainly didn’t appreciate being given the run around, waiting when no one showed up, only to drag everything back inside.Thanks for nothing. If you aren’t going to come, fine, but don’t tell people you’re going to show up in 20 minutes or the next day. We do have lives you know.

Love The ReStore! I have been very impressed with the work done by Habitat for Humanity over the years and am pleased there is a concrete way to support their work through the ReStore. Great place to find all sorts of things for our home, from furniture to dishes, light fixtures to plumbing parts, doors, books, chairs, tile and so much more! You have to go every so often to see whats currently in stock as they are constantly getting in new donations. If you have an abundance of furniture or building materials/supplies, please consider donating them to The ReStore!

Although it is laid out nice and is clean the prices are OUTRAGEOUS! The glassware can be purchased at the Dollar Tree and even glassware is HIGH! Nice to stop and look but if I am going to pay NEW furniture prices then I am going to go and by NEW furniture! Not something that was donated and used. Example a couch that was clearly used they were asking $175.

During a recent visit I overheard the on-duty manager give another customer 50 percent off their purchase. It was clear they were friends. She didnt realize I overheard their negotiation. She refused to give me the same discount. Very unfortunate. All items in the store are extremely overpriced, as Ive noticed for years. I recommend others take their business and donations to other re-stores in the area where all customers are treated equally, especially as it relates to discounts. Also very unfortunate, considering Id just donated hundreds worth of items. Just my opinion.

What a place this is! Loved perusing through all the records and antiques. We bought a coffee table that was much bigger than the one we saw on Amazon and for one tenth the price. The employees go above and beyond and are very friendly. Well be back if we need more furniture pieces for sure. 😁

Review №24

I came to this store last friday looking for a wide oak wood table drinking classes and some other cookware. First and foremost the prices for glassware is the same as buying new from any other store. Prices are too high. Second i came back to this store to see if i could return the table i purchased because i was not in love with the table and ended finding the type of table i wanted a wide high wood table set. The older lady cashiers were very snooty and rude in telling me i couldnt return the table and that all sales were final. Ok no big deal didnt make a fuss just wanted to see if a return was possible. A simple no wouldve sufficed but one of the cashiers explained in a way as if i was slow lol. Youd think they were working at some boutique but you are a old cashier working for Habitat. I made no big deal about it and said i would donate the table for i have no need for it. My fault not theirs.

The furniture is really nice, good quality. Kind of disappointed that I couldnt get a little bit of a discount on a set of stools that had two already reupholstered and the third still needed to be done. I still had to pay asking price and will still have do reupholstry of last stool my self.

My issue was with one staff person, I believe get name was Penny. There were boxes of donated cabinets and I was interested in purchasing some. There were no pictures on boxes or signs regarding cabinets so I went to the counter for help. I was given drawings of the completed cabinets. My mother and I were discussing the cabinets and Penny explained that there were no base cabinets left but could buy vanity base cabinets, pull them forward and the space in back would be covered by the countertop. We walk around and think about it, and I decide to buy. Another young lady was at the counter, and Penny walks up and says You Girls find everything- I instantly stopped listening since my mother is over 70 and Im almost 50. Penny may need some sensitivity training, but were in the South so Im guessing its acceptable. And yes I heard other interactions where she did not call any of them Girls.I purchased the vanity bases and continued to look around.While going to put Sold stickers, an older couple started asking me questions about cabinets. Though I didnt work there I explained to the couple what boxes held what, and that there were no base cabinets...but there were. A stack of them.I go to the front and ask Penny about the bases and she said yes theyre blind bases meaning that theyre missing the side. For what I needed that would have worked. Penny walks away from me, and the lady behind the counter is looking confused. So I got stuck with counters that I didnt need to buy since theres no refund😢.

Went in with my kids. We made a purchase and on my way out realized I quickly needed the restroom. I walked back inside to be told he restrooms were locked from the public even though this store was open for shopping and many other WS establishments were open and restrooms available. In this case I normally wouldve walked to Cvs but this was a female type emergency and it wasnt possible! I am ok with shopping here but thanks for the inconvenience. Customers should know you cant use the restrooms here. Habitat should reconsider opening your restrooms to paying customers. Good Day

Habitat for Humanity is definitely a great place for used furniture. This location has a wide variety of furniture available, and the staff is super friendly. I wasn’t able to find exactly what I wanted, but for tables and chairs there is plenty to pick from. Of course their selection is always changing so it’s a good place to stop by frequently.

Great thrift store (no clothes) for furniture and household supplies. Some things are pretty good, but you have to pick over some things to get the good buys. Excess building supplies available to help with remodeling a room. Dont get discouraged quickly because it can be worth your time.

Review №43

Im obsessed with this place. This location isnt as organized as the one in lewisville; however it has at least twice the merchandise. My only complaint was that when there are alot of people in there it is very hard to navigate the aisles without bumping into things and things falling off shelves. This also goes for when you are trying to look at something on some shelves; when you touch it 3 other things fall. Its totally understandable though, and the staff was amazing in every way.

I LOVE the ReStore. I love furniture, especially antique or just unique furniture, so even if I am just stopping by for paint like today (score!) I always meander through the furniture section. I have seen some wonderful pieces -- not ones I need to own -- just really unique, memorable one. Today, for example, there was a queen headboard that was curved laminate. The curved part lifted up to reveal all the space that is usually wasted under a headboard made accessible for storage. It brilliant -- both beautiful and practical!

I get my cats spayed and neutered there all the time. I have rescued cats from people who leave their pets behind and I end up keeping them. I pay for everything...food and litter, which costs a lot,but I need help with neutering them so they don’t reproduce and thru Loving Pet who help fund neutering and Habitat for Humanity totally has helped me. There is no words that could explain how truly grateful I am for all their assistance and kindness. Many blessings to all that have helped me. Thank you all so much.

I love, and Im in love this place. I have never had an unpleasant experience with either a staff member or a volunteer. I love and understand and appreciate their mission and will support their causes when ever I can. I am constantly referring my friends to them and encouraging them to go and check them our. Tanisha, Vince and Xavier are the best and always willing to help. Keep up the great work folks.

Review №56

Very neat and organized. Lots of choices with a gentle used look on some pieces others a little more worn. I realize this is money raised for habitat however alot of people shop there for bargains as they also cant afford to go pay huge prices on things for their habitat but many of the items were way over priced for someone on a budget.. Now if u need a washer or dryer they were priced great.. But do check it out u may find that perfect something.

Review №63

Wonderful idea for charity, friendly staff, clean and you can sometimes find some good deals. But honestly, most of their prices are absolutely ridiculous. Just as high as a retail store selling new stuff, but this is used and was DONATED!! I understand they are trying to make money for charity, but lower prices would draw more business. There was a store just like this where I used to live and I bought there weekly, sometimes bi-weekly, here I might go every couple of months.

I have gone to this store (608 Coliseum, Winston Salem) many times and always purchase furniture or other items. However, this particular store has a man as cashier and this man is RUDE AND UNFRIENDLY. All merchandise here is donated, therefore he should be happy that hes got a job.

Really high prices. Not much incentive to buy when for a few bucks more you can get new. Also much better deals on CL. No one greeted me or ever asked if I needed help. Rather disappointed as I moved here to rehab a house and was hoping to do business here instead of the big box stores or online.The store does seem well organized, Ill give them that. One and done with this store.

Review №77

Its 50/50 when you go in. Most of the employees act like they are community service workers that would rather be anywhere else but there. Its difficult to break up the employee conversations to get service and the machine that takes cards breaks down too often, so its cash only. If you are lucky enough to find something you like, its for a decent price, get some service and can actually pay, its not bad. Id rather go to Goodwill across the street though, its better all the way around.

Very cool place, does amazing for the community, like the idea of it. Really not bad prices and most things are in decent shape. New things EVERY day. Staff was friendly and helpful. One rude lady in the pick up area, doesnt seem to like her job and takes that out on ppl who are picking up things from the store. A guy named Mike was very hardworking, helpful and pleasent. Need more Mikes. Its at least worth a trip to see if they have what you need.

The Habitat for Humanity Restore used to be the place where a landlord and contractor like myself could go to find great replacements for vintage items that no one else carried. They had a huge selection of building materials. Now... this new building is a joke. No selection. You can walk through the building materials in less than a minute. I drove 30 minutes from Lexington to find in 30 seconds that I should have just stayed home...

We got a fantastic deal on a very well made table with 8 chairs. Sold maple construction, a few stains on the seats, but hey its the ReStore! The staff was very helpful, thank you to the young men who helped me load this very heavy furniture. I expect decades of use out of this table.

What could be better than buying home and building supplies at low prices while helping one of the worlds best nonprofits help others find homes? I got to tour some of the local projects that Habitat has recently completed in Winston Salem and was blown away. They build quality houses, transform neighborhoods, teach homeowner skills and literally change lives. This store is a way that you can play a role in helping their mission. And...the Restores new location on Coliseum Drive makes a great store even better!

We bought a hot tub from this location and it was a wonderful experience. Not only did we get a great deal on a hot tub that we otherwise would have never afforded, but Vince was very helpful when we got home and discovered that a part of the electric connection was missing. He worked to help us acquire the missing piece, saving us what could have been hundreds of dollars for to buy new.

I go in there about once every two weeks. I have been to other Habitat for Humanity Rehab stores in the area also. This store is always the highest priced even for the exact same items at other stores. There are some brand new things in here that are higher than even Lowes.

Review №98

Wish i could give less than 1 star. The employees that work here make it not worth it to ever shop here. You may find some decent deals on old junk, but the unbearably rude employees will quickly make you realize you made a mistake coming here. The people that load the items in your car are the absolute worst! They do not care in the slightest about helping their customers or even trying to get your newly purchased items safely in the car. You essentially have to beg them to do their job and retrieve your items. And if it takes more than 30 seconds and any effort on their part, expect some attitude and an incredible amount of disrespect! Not sure how a person like that even has a job where you deal with people. I am incredibly disappointed and disgusted.

Review №99

Very hit or miss. Dont count on getting help from any volunteers; Ive gotten hit on or ignored so you never know.... Ive found great finds such as pool chemicals, high quality paints and varnishes, vintage books, area rugs and storage shelves. My best score was a new Cusinart toaster oven for $30 that was $99 on amazon at the time! I always check the prices online before buying and most of the time its a deal and its always a great charitable donation. Some of the items they clean up or paint fresh and it can be overpriced for used items.
