It is a fairly small and tight isle store. A fair selection of decent used furniture, the nicer things can hit $200 - $300 range. The prices are a bit high.
Store opens at 9 and the place is instantly swarmed by "pickers" looking for things to sell on ebay at exorbitant prices. You can tell as they walk in pick up a shopping cart and load it with mismatched things from every department and I've heard oeople bragging about it in the store of how much money they make reselling the "good stuff."
The store is part of the Roman Catholic Church's St. Vincent DePaul Society and I agree with their principles and values.
I once donated two twin beds to the society (at church not a store) and they me sent a letter saying the beds went to an abused woman with two young boys. I was not expecting that and the society helped me once to pay an emergency room bill during a work layoff. I suggest making a donation to the society if you can afford to do that.
There are a lot of clothes and that is very well organized. A decent selection of used kitchen items witn an isle of discountex new household items as well.
The store is neatly arranged in sections making it easy to find what you need. Curtains, lamps, electronics, sporting goods, toys, clothing, furniture, videos / records / cds / dvds, etc.
Delivery is reasonable at $35 as they will help load and unload. If you dont neex the help and are moving it locally, Uhaul is next door with $19 vans for rent.
Somethings there are better of trashed. No onebuys 1970s usex bowling balls, Vtech cordless ni-cad dead battery home phones, or scratched moldy albums of Christmas music.
The employees are friendly, smiling, and helpful, no problem on that and there are usually two cashiers on duty.
You will be asked to "round up" at the register to fund the local Warren soup kitchen who serves meals to local needy residents. I agree with that and always round up. Unlike Goodwill where round up money goes somewhere but who really knows where.
Easy to find on Maine Ave next to Uhaul, good amount of free parking. Secure safe location just south of the...
Read moreMy sister and I found some real deals here and the experience of shopping here was great! The store is clean and brighly-lit and staff was nice. We shopped the day after Christmas (yesterday) and all clothes were 50% off and Christmas decor was 75% off. My sister grabbed a very nice Cashmere sweater (before I could find it, grr) for 2 bucks. Also 17$ for a 6 foot pre lit Christmas tree is an absolute steal.And they...
Read moreI went to the new location yesterday and it was great! I felt like I was shopping in a department store! Clean, bright, orderly and the AC was cranking!
