Habitat For Humanity ReStore Monterey — Local services in Seaside

Habitat for Humanity Restore -- I freakin' love this place. I really really do. If you are a DIY' er, like me, this store is heaven on earth. Shopping at this store is a win - win situation for everyone. Shoppers save lots of money. I dont mean 10% or 20% savings like most stores offer . I mean like 40% , 50%, 60%, even 70% savings. The items sold at ReStore's are donated by companies or individuals. They are usually surplus materials. In addition, all employees work on a volunteer basis. Not having to pay employees keeps prices low. When you buy at a ReStore you help save the environment. Most of the items are new. Some are gently used. You can find new toilets, paint rollers and brushes, screen doors, front doors, interior doors, paint, washers/dryers, dishwashers, kitchen cabinets, desks, desk chairs, bed frames, mattresses, mirrors, paintings, couches, tools, coffee tables, dining tables, patio tables, pool tables, screws, nails, light bulbs, light fixtures, hinges, locks, deadbolts, a variety of pulls and handles, mailboxes, lawnmowers, pet supplies, books, stoves, bathroom vanities, sinks, shower doors, faucets, hoses, tile, bricks, carpets, rugs, insulation, windows, partitions, stuff for heating/air conditioning, flooring, stoves, refrigerators, holiday decor - you get the idea don't you? The only downfall, is that the items are not always in stock. There are times when the store is loaded, and times when it is not as loaded with merchandise. It can be a hit or a miss. You might find exactly what you were looking for. You might find something you were not looking for. But you will always find something. I know I do. I have taken lots of friends and family to a few ReStore's. They all shop at a ReStore on a regular basis now. Check out the store for yourself. This is not paid advertising. I just really love...

I have found great deals at this Store. The Staff is very Helpful. I just wish their hours went to at least 6pm during the week for those of us that work in the day. One very BAD experience is I bought a Brand New Large Appliance in Perfect Condition and after I purchased it They moved the item several times from the items location to other areas of the store and damaged this Appliance severely on Both sides, deeply scratched and dented it after I had Paid for it. They even told me they were not going to move it. Yet they did anyway with poor equipment and no protection around the item. My item got deep large gruved scratches and removal of a lot of paint which did severe damage and is not fixable. That brought the items value down majorily and looks unsightly. I needed and wanted the item and was excited about it so it was disappointing to have it get damaged After I paid a lot of money for it. Their "Pricing Tags" Labels do not come off without removing the paint or stain and leaving permanent damage marks. Don't stick them on with the sticky label, use painters tape or use string tags. Please get new Labels. Also put a Huge Sign on the Item for them to not relocate "DO NOT MOVE" while you go and get your truck. Prices have gone up considerably. It's OK if the item is truly worth it and in excellent condition. I just wish Habitat for Humanity Employees Respected the customers purchase and do little harm to the items and treat everything like it's Brand New and very Fragile while coming or going out of the Store. Please use a blanket and/or cushioned buffer on the moving equipment at direct points of contact. The customer pays for and wants to keep the value. Everyone wants Nice belongings to improve their Home. 🏡 A HUGE THANK YOU to all...

Normally I have good experience at this store, but today I went and the lady at the dest was rude. I was there a few minutes early, but the doors were open. I was told they were opening in ten minutes. I replied and stated that I just had a question. The lady replied she would answer in ten minutes and wouldn't even make eye contact. I waited until store open and another person started to help me, he was very nice. As I was asking him the questions she started yelling answers as he and I were actively...
