Harvest House Thrift Store – Overpriced Chaos With a Side of Germs

Thrifting should be fun, but at Harvest House, it’s more of a test of endurance. First, you walk in and are immediately hit with the smell of dust, mildew, and questionable hygiene choices. Then, you realize that navigating this place is like playing a game of thrift store Twister. The aisles are so tight, I swear you need to be part acrobat just to get through. I tried using a cart once—huge mistake. You can’t even push it without accidentally knocking off a glass vase and instantly regretting your life choices. And then there are the shoppers. Personal space? Doesn’t exist here. People get so close that I spent the whole trip bracing for impact. At one point, I swear I was actively being coughed on. Gross. Now, the prices? Hilarious. $4 for a bag of random broken toys? Shoes that have been through a war? Books that look like they survived a flood? And $.50 for a tiny, well-loved (aka falling apart) stuffed animal? It’s giving estate sale pricing, but without the estate sale quality. And let’s talk about why there’s never anything good. The volunteers go through all the donations before they hit the floor, picking out the best stuff for themselves. I’ve seen it with my own eyes literally today—they sort through donations all day, then manager Kelly personally rings them up with their private thrift haul. Meanwhile, the rest of us get stuck sifting through leftover junk that should’ve been donated again. So, if you enjoy overpriced clutter, zero personal space, and leaving with a side of airborne germs, this...

Very disappointed in whoever is placing stickers; because on multiple occasions I have now gotten items that ended up being broken or damaged that you couldn't see until you remove the sticker. I recently just bought a vase and when I took the sticker off it pulled off two separate chunks of the edge of the vase that was only being held on by the sticker And lots of tape. I guess the tape and placement around the lip should have been a red flag. If it had only happened once or twice it would be a coincidence, but continuing to happen is them being purposely deceitful. Normally things have been very good here since they moved, and most of the Problematic employees no longer seem to be working there; But There is one woman who has a very bad attitude and got very snarky with me when I was trying to decide if I wanted a bench despite it having some leg damage and staining to it. Saying things like "well it's not like I'm forcing you to get it, if you don't want it you don't have to I'm sure somebody else will. " I wasn't standing in line, I hadn't said a word while I was looking it over, I didn't ask her to stand there with me while I was going over the item. She was very pushy and just mad at the world I guess. Overall the clothes have been fine I haven't had any problems with them, I love going for the books, just be very careful when buying breakable items, and don't ask for any help whatsoever or you might get...

This is a great store and a great addition to the Burleson community. My family frequently donates items here, but I'm also a very regular shopper. The donation process is simple, and the drop-off area is much cleaner than the drop-off area at the goodwill.

There are inventory changes daily, so I've made them a part of my drive home routine as part of my reset process. I find the environment to be more comfortable than the 'big box' thrift/resale stores.

Specifically, if you are looking for home items, including furniture, their pricing is the best! I've seen and have purchased some really fun and unique, vintage pieces.

Last, in terms of local and real impact, shopping here gives back to the community in ways that the other stores do not. Money raised from the store is used to stock the Harvest House food bank. Last I heard, the food back is providing meals to 100+ families in Burleson.

So whether you are looking to donate or shop, I recommend giving...
