When I wanted to donate a sofa and matching loveseat that were in very good condition, I contacted…read moreHabitat and left an email message. I received an email back in a reasonable amount of time considering how busy they must be. The person in charge of donations asked me to send a photo (which is totally understandable) before pick up was approved. Shortly after, an appointment time was set for pick up. I had the furniture placed in the garage as requested. The truck came within the designated time, and furniture was taken to the truck efficiently. I would say it was "professional operation." When it was picked up, one of the two men said, "This furniture is in great condition. Thank you for your kind donation and for thinking of us." I was happy to donate to a good cause and will continue to do so. Three years ago we donated oak kitchen cabinets when our kitchen was remodeled. I saw that they were sold for $550. I was pleased to help an organization with such an outstanding mission.

This review is for ReStore, the store front for used furniture and recycled fixtures and appliances…read morethat Habitat for Humanity runs in downtown Schenectady. Habitat itself is an outstanding organization and does great work. The H for H offices are located on Pearl, so this should be recategorized in Yelp as Home Furnishings / Retail Furniture, not Contractor Services. First off, hours: Thursday 10-6, Friday and Saturday 10-3. Tip: if you come early on Thursday, you'll have your best chance of getting pick of the new stock for the week, since they're closed the other days but continue to collect donations. So this is basically a thrift store specializing in furniture. It's everything you'd expect from a place that runs on donations. The stock is not by any means new or in style, but they do a good job in filtering out items so you don't have any dirty or unusually smelly items. Some of the items I looked at were broken or had significant flaws, but they for the most part seem to have filtered out truly unusable stuff. They do have a little bit of everything, and the repurposed fixtures (including doors and windows) are probably the cheapest you'll find anywhere. I had a little difficulty at first getting appropriate help - there were many volunteers but they had to find the chief guy in charge to do pricing for me, and they kept asking me the same questions about the items I picked out (as to whether they belonged in a set or not, like that matters for very used furniture) - but it's hard to quibble with volunteers on the basis of the service. They tried, even if they weren't as organized about things as they could be. Be patient with this sort of thing if you go in. If Design on a Dime ever does a Schenectady show, they'll love it here. I have a lot of fun speculating about previous owners of many of these items. (I really got a hoot about the five-piece living room set I saw on my most recent visit, where there was a built-in Stereophonic Console in the corner table unit. 1966, here we come!!) I also urge you if you do go, round up on your purchases and throw the extra money into the donation kitty. This group builds houses for people, and does it in a way that brings the people who will live in the house and own it into the building process. It may be unfortunate that this is needed, but it is, and doing a little shopping here can help this effort while helping yourself. One caveat: from the blank expressions I got when I asked if they check for bed bugs on the furniture upholstery, I'm going to guess that they do not do their own screening here. So given the reality of bed bugs and older pieces of furniture, I urge you to check for yourself. This is true for any used furniture these days. Update: adding a fourth star after multiple visits - the stock really does zing in and out (well, some of it) and Thursday mornings are definitely your best bet. The second floor, which I neglected earlier, has miscellaneous small fixtures, lamps, plumbing stuff, and so forth.

Amazing place to find cute clothes for a bargain but the staff is extremely rude and trying to sell…read moreclothes is a joke !! I brought a vary large bag of clean,name brand clothes most still with tags , and they refused 90% of the bag, oh well no big deal I wasn't expecting a huge pay day for some used clothes , what was annoying about the situation was we wanted to do some shopping to kill time while they looked at the bag we brought (1 hour drive for us to get here) because you have to pick up the same day! Well we were looking we found a double stroller that was exactly what we needed (we brought both babies in with us) and figured we'd buy it and put the kids in it well we shopped one of the employees was not impressed with this decision And made it very obvious with her nasty looks... once I noticed her glance at me, then the stroller, than the price tag, I chuckled and said "don't worry we're gonna buy it not just use it and leave" and smiled...she then proceeded to roll her eyes and turn away .... The kids got fussy, nothing crazy just little whines from a typical toddler and 1 year old and every chance the employees got they would stare at us like it was an inconvenience for them to have to listen to it...Now I'm uncomfortable and just want to leave so we quickly finish shopping and check out well I'm folding up the new stroller I notice there is dried food stuck to the seat that my mother didn't notice when putting my child in the seat, and the basket is ripped... 100% should of checked it over more before and that is on me but assuming they wouldn't take the clothes I had brought down that were all stain free and clean I figured they held their standards very high.... Apparently I was wrong.... Then when I went to pick up the clothes they didn't accept and get the store credit for the clothes they did....the same employee that rolled her eyes for me using the stroller in the store checked me out and after she told me the total for a whopping $21 she looked me up and down and with a very snotty tone said "I'm assuming you want cash".... I felt like I was being treated like a dirt bag !!! As much as I love this store after this experience I don't think I will be able to return I was trying to be nice and bring the clothes here so a parent could get nice clothes at an affordable price but instead was treated like someone that was selling there children's belongings to make a quick buck..... truly disappointing
