Habitat for Humanity Store

My first experience at this establishment was highly disappointing, characterized by rude customer service. On Saturday, November 29, around 11 AM, I encountered a Caucasian man who was responsible for handling donations behind the store. His unprofessional and aggressive attitude during the inspection of my items was unacceptable. Despite the high-value furniture we were donating, he offered no help carrying the heavy items. He treated the situation as if he were the one paying for them. His dismissive and discourteous behavior throughout our interaction was striking. We also questioned whether a biased attitude influenced his behavior toward us, as we are Hispanic. Due to this treatment, I will not be donating to this location again. Businesses must treat donors with respect and appreciation.

The pricing is very unfortunate. It really ruins the whole purpose of thrifting and especially harmful for the communities that rely on it. This forces people to just got buy mass produced not sustainable products. This is why everyone just goes to Amazon. I’ll attached a photo I took of very used three shelves book shelf with bad wear marks down the side. If you zoom in yup that price tag reads $69 this is so frustrating especially knowing they got it free. Why would anyone spend $70 for this when they can just go to IKEA for $30. I hope they adjust to more appropriate pricing.

A brand-new IKEA KALLAX cube shelf costs $79.99. Asking $69.00 for a used one is pure greed.

Can it get better than recycling for a good cause donated hardwood furniture, gently used loveseats, and couches? It can. This Restore has new home goods overstock like queen memory foam mattresses, linen sheets, butcher block countertop, and knitted throws right now. Proceeds go to building affordable housing through a network of volunteers. If you forget to bring your measuring tape, just ask the friendly staff for help. This is a place where hope in humanity is restored even in the smallest ways.

Damaged artwork and mirrors for insane expensive prices. Donated furniture for hundreds of dollars. Absolutely insane. You may as well buy new items at the same price. Don’t ever come here.

Worst place to volunteer and to give away things. We gave away our couch to them with a new protective cover which we bought from Amazon for $100. But they said colors don't match. But we changed the entire layer with protective cover. They're pretty racist too. When I volunteered once, the lady Laura asked me to take the trash from the toilet. I said I wasn't comfortable with the volunteering work. I did clean up their tables and everything. They don't ask their cashier to do any job and neither her son does anything apart from negotiate deals which is great. But to ask all non white non british volunteers to do it felt it was racist. She was annoyed when I said I wanted to leave early since I was done. I am not paid to work here. We literally come here to help. The sheer audacity! This store doesn't deserve buyers.

I used to like this store a lot. But it has gone further and further away on the pursuit of pretending to be a vintage furniture dealer. I’m not sure if it’s corporate level direction or individual store discretion, but it seems that it somehow skipped them that they got all the furnitures for free. But I guess if they still sell, the store did nothing wrong business wise. Bellevue consignment closed down, so habitat probably benefited from that.
