Habitat for Humanity ReStore San Jose

DO NOT DONATE OR USE RESUPPLY SERVICES. It sounds good. You want to help someone give good reusable pieces of furniture. You start off getting a reasonable estimate. Because you've already uploaded your photos. Then, the actual mover shows up, and he triples the quote. A better bet is to just call vets move junk. Unfortunately the way they move the items, they end up damaged even if they were in perfect condition. Their truck is not large enough. And the young men they employ are definitely not furniture movers. They scratch the walls, even though we removed doors. Their Dolly scratched the wooden floors. I think they created more damage in an hour and a half then we did living here as renters, over twenty years.

Restore used to have interesting collections of picture frames and furniture. The last few times we were there, the selections were very limited. The quality of the pieces weren't as good. The prices for many items are almost like new products. I understand the store sells items that had been donated to Habitat for Humanity. All I can say is that the donations in the last few years have not been as good as before.

I found several items that were from this location. Couch was probably overpriced but my vintage dresser set was excellent. And my tv console was great too. I do agree that some items are overpriced. But with all these people buying vintage items just to resell at even higher prices, what do folks expect????? You can't find hardly anything vintage anymore at regular thrift stores so what are we customers who just want vintage items for our own personal use, supposed to do? And the staff was all very helpful and nice to us. One particular employee was extremely attentive and kind and helpful on the floor and with loading up furniture to take home. But overall shopping here has been a great help to me since I am remodeling my place and replacing old broken down furniture with newer vintage stuff I cannot find elsewhere for decent prices. Even Facebook marketplace has vintage furniture for way too much because of these resellers. $550 on up for a vintage MCM tall boy dresser on Marketplace.... NO BUENO 🤷‍♀️ I will continue to shop here 🙏💜
