Habitat ReStore - East — Local services in Monona

I used to LOVE Restore... I would have given a 5-star rating any other time, but not anymore unfortunately. I spoke with the Manager about a price on some curtain holdbacks they had marked for $7/set, well they are a Walmart brand so I quickly just scanned them on the Walmart app and they are sold for $4.30 there. I told him I'd gladly even pay $5/set (still over what Walmart sells for...) NOPE! "We don't haggle prices on the sales floor, it's just our policy." was what I got from him; well now you've lost your what would have been a 5-star rating AND possibly a frequent shopper!! So I hope the manager actually reads these because what happened today was unacceptable in my eyes!! Even a "employee" told me they thrive to sell at 1/2 off retail prices... Ha!! Not on curtain holdbacks I guess!! Boooo to a poor attempt at ripping people off on small petty items!! Ugh!!! Now you're getting 3 stars from what used to be a very satisfied and returning...

This place is paradise for anyone working on any home projects. It’s laid out really nicely such that it’s really easy to lose yourself checking everything out even if you’re looking at things you don’t need. Sure, they may not always have what you’re looking for, but if you expect to always find that perfect sink, cabinet, door, or whatever, on the first go, you don’t understand the store. Even if they’re missing what you need you may find yourself going extra things anyway because the prices are so cheap, too. Overall, this place is great and the people that work here are very nice and seem happy to just be there. Don’t sleep on Habitat ReStore, especially not the one on...

I've found great deals here prior, but I was rather disappointed at my last visit. I shopped on a Friday even shortly before they closed. The store seemed a little picked over- even before the weekend hit. Cabinetsere marked much higher than than items were worth- especially in current condition ($75 for a single 24" base cabinet with a bad paint DIY job?!?). I just purchased a chandelier from Craigslist marketplace for $10... Similar pieces were $65+. I love the mission of H4H and recycling building materials, but I probably won't make another trip again...
