We've visited their Simsbury store a bunch of times, and we saw pretty much the same selection of low priced goods here in Glastonbury - men's & women's clothing, shoes, household goods, artwork, books, toys, etc. We caught a 50% off sale on clothing yesterday, and I walked out with a $15 blazer for $7.50. Pretty sweet, eh? All proceeds go to charity (The Village for Families) and the store employees are all volunteers. The two women we interacted with were as nice and friendly as could be, we really enjoyed chatting with them. Bottom line? You can score some great bargains and support a worthy charity all at the same time.

Wonderful shop. All proceeds go to charity. Ladies in the shop are gracious and knowledgeable.read more

Salvation Army provides a marvelous service to people in need selling clothing, furniture, kitchen utensils at a faction of the their original cost.

The young woman we spoke with was unfriendly from the start, and before we even had a chance to show her the clothing we brought in, she focused almost entirely on reasons we shouldn't consign rather than explaining the process or giving us any reason to want to work with your store. I've been consigning with high-end shops for decades and have never been treated this way. The experience felt dismissive and off-putting, and we left without even showing what we brought. I won't be returning.

A $350 Michael Kors Boutique Satchel which sold right away for $24.99 and my payout was $14.99! A Madewell utility jacket, which sold right away and I made $9.88! Are you kidding me? Something seems disturbingly off here to me. There is no way this makes sense and I am not the only reviewer saying this, read the reviews for yourself. I would think twice before entrusting my items to this consignment. You might be shocked and upset at your payouts, like I am/was. AND to add insult to injury, the employees are not pleasant to deal with. They all seem to hate their jobs here and let you know with their attitudes that they are doing you a favor taking your paltry items in. Ha! Just all around bad attitudes, the old lady with the short hair being the worst of the bunch.

I normally shop here because the aisles are large enough to navigate a wheelchair but the man at the checkout may have been my final straw. He had an attitude with no patience or tolerance. I told him the glass jar I wanted to buy had no price. He promptly snatched it from my hands and said, " I cannot assess this for a price and I cannot sell it to you". And chucked it in a bin somewhere. Even if that's policy, there is a better way to have handled this. I guess I'll just go to Goodwill, which tends to be way cheaper anyway and they price on the spot.

I usually come here when I want to find some softly used dress pants like an H&M brand that doesn't break my budget. You'll find everything sorted by color or type like a shorts or pants. I walked out with some decent dark green pants that lets me explore colors in my wardrobe without it being too much on my wallet in case I don't like what I purchased. I know there are times during the year that they remove seasonal clothes just like any other retail store so I would keep an eye out for those times to really take the savings. I haven't sold anything to them lately but I do know that they are pretty fair and quick with their assessments. If you are looking for some adventure in clothing this could be a nice stop for you.

I'm a young woman with similar tastes to what's in fashion and always keep my clothes in great condition, no pilling/rips/stains etc. I'm very thorough and familiar with the process. I go back after receiving a DONE text very shortly after we left. They took NOTHING. Gave bs reasons as to why, but I graciously took the bins to Salvation Army drop off just like I always do after. As I'm donating them I see that they are folded EXACTLY HOW I FOLDED THEM. UNTOUCHED. Meaning that these lazy little girls just glanced at the top layer and tossed it aside to save themselves some work. I've never had this issue with their sister store, Once Upon a Child, they are fantastic. But Plato's... this is utterly ridiculous, and makes me not want to even shop with you anymore.
