Nice selection, very friendly staff, prices are more than reasonable, and it’s all for a good cause! This place instantly became a must for anytime we’re in the area. Definitely recommend. Update: was here recently, once again was a nice, friendly experience and found some great items for great prices!

Popped in because it happened to be steps away from the antique shop we were actually trying to go to (that’s permanently closed). Woman at the desk was friendly and explained that all proceeds go to the local homeless shelter as they’re a donation based shop. Good if you’re looking for furniture items at a low price. Not much in the way of small household items when we were there, although we were lucky enough to grab a couple of vintage Pyrex bowls that matched a set we already own! Lots of parking nearby on the street or neighboring lot.

Impressive building with large murals painted on car park side. Plenty of parking if needed to drop off heavy or bulky items.

Dropped off a couple of antique items and an Epsom MFP at lunchtime. Courteous staff, the store is full of nice items from glassware to dining tables. Kudos to John Russell and his team.

Looked at items and paid for them. Days before delivery, I cancelled one item. Was told I can only get store credit and not a refund. Delivery day comes and waiting was futile. They wouldn’t be bothered to call that it wasn’t happening. Next day, I came to pick up the items and one of them is missing. They have no idea where it was. Worst thing is- they are a nonprofit and supposedly help people in need. Diane, its manager, spoke to me condescendingly. Her hypocrisy is nauseating. Note: Check on the sales tax they charge - 6.47%! This is a non-profit that profits via high sales tax.
