A wonderful thrift store with a fantastic mission. Prices are reasonable and there is a wide array of different furniture pieces and household items to browse. Staff is always very friendly as well, and their furniture restoration team always does beautiful work. Definitely worth the visit.

They have really great pieces at such reasonable price. What I scored there would be way over a grand in a vintage store. Everyone working or volunteering is nice, and the delivery was amazing too. I can see that they’re there for the community.

Okay so this place is amazing. You can tell that everyone that works here from the director Barb on down LOVES the job they do... it's evident in every display and the immaculate facility and the friendliness and helpfulness of the staff. We scored some amazing finds yesterday including the piano shown in the picture and some outdoor bar stools. I can't wait to come back I'm actually on my way there now to pick up the piano but oh my God y'all you need to check this place out! Truly a treasure here in Happy Valley!

We've purchased furniture here a few times. Each time we've come in the employees have been fantastic. This trip we got there a few mins before opening and when they opened each employee greeted us with kindness and you could tell the employees all worked well together. One of the employees even gave our child a toy ambulance and was incredibly kind towards our child. Very hard working employees and so kind. Will definitely purchase from here in the future! They even deliver!!

Centre Peace is great. I have bought furniture (nice dining chairs for 5 dollars each, for example). I buy things there knowing that it helps people work their way back into public life after being incarcerated. I do check each piece for damage or flaws since it is used, but their set up is organized and not expensive. Granted, I wouldn't buy a stained couch unless I can make a slipcover, but stained stuff is usually really inexpensive if you are in a bind.

Centre Peace is a great place run by great people. Its cool factor is at the tippy top. Formerly incarcerated and other workers do great work. Everything is clean and orderly. Electric stuff is tested and labeled with its testing results. They pickup your used furniture, appliances, etc. And they deliver that same stuff to your place on the way out. Bikes? Yes, working bikes of every size and great prices like everything else for sale. At the store, on the phone or at the truck, you will only find kind and helpful people. Do read and watch about Centre Peace on their web site. It will be your favorite place too!
