Madison seems to have 3 types of thrift stores. Goodwill, St Vinnies, and those run by churches…read moreand/or church ladies. This is the latter type, and they all seem to be very similar (Bethesda, Agrace, etc). Less crowds, traffic, anxiety, and clutter than Goodwill and St Vinnies, but also less selection. Check back regularly and you will find some treasures. For the most part the prices are fair. If I specifically need something, I start with Goodwill, because I have the best chance of browsing. But I dont always feel like stopping in Goodwill just to browse. Versus it can be very peaceful to stop in Boomerangs, or similar. I've probably been there a dozen times since they opened, and bought something 3 of the times. They have furniture, which not all thrift stores carry. The staff has always been helpful.

When the Red Barn Company opened up in 2013 in Waunakee, I got an ad on my Facebook. I was excited…read morefor it to open up, I even thought about applying for a part time job. I never got to that store to check it out until 2023. It was just what I imagined beautiful, so much great & amazing stuff to look at and buy. There was Pandora and Vera Bradley, there store offers home decor, dishware, candles, clothing and accessories. I just was in awe, I know that during the Christmas holiday they decorate the store to the nine's. There is ample street parking, if you want a drink afterwards to look through all your baggies to check out your goodies there are bars & restaurants across the street. So go check it out and tell Vicky that Nicole said hi So if your driving through Waunakee stop by the Red Barn

I've been a customer for several years, but recently made a major purchase and was extremely…read moredisappointed. My wife and I purchased a table for around $2,000.00. We saw it and loved it right away, and an employee quickly told us it was the last one. We are building a new home and thought it would be amazing in our foyer, so we bought it. We have purchased expensive furniture at numerous different stores around the Madison area and at one time we had some issues with an item we purchased in Madison. That store went ABOVE AND BEYOND, telling us they would do anything to make it right. Refund, store credit, sending a repair person to our home were all options they gave us. When we bought this table neither one of us recall anyone saying that the sale was final and there were no returns. However, it does say that in the small print on our receipt. To our shock, we learned the table was too long for the spot we intended it for and we have no other place for it. Due to the cost (almost $2,000.00) we reached out to the store to see if we could return it - and we even told them we would be happy with store credit so we could find another, smaller table. The person on the phone was rather short and to the point, telling us "There are no refunds or exchanges, we told you that when you bought it". When we tried to explain that nobody told us that, and we were willing to just get store credit so they would not lose out on a sale, they told us "You will have to talk to the OWNER" who was not there. So we asked for the owner to call us at her earliest convenience. My wife received a call from another employe who was NOT the owner, and she said "I'm sorry, but there is nothing we can do". WARNING: If you are looking for good customer service and a store that cares about their customers and will stand behind their products, I would suggest you DO NOT shop here. We have spent a lot of money at this store over the years and this was a major purchase. They did not seem to care if they lost a good customer and all future sales from us.

I enjoy thrifting, repurposing items and giving them new uses. I was excited to check out this…read morethrift shop as its location is great. From the outside it appears small, but it's actually super huge in the inside with a back room filled with more furniture, frames, records, clothes, and electronics. My biggest disappointment was the quality of the goods and the setup of the place. It was really messy and hard to sort through things.

As far as donating- -don't expect them to lift a finger as…read moreyou unload your car, even when there's 10+ bags. -don't expect a thank you, no matter how many hundreds or thousands of dollars worth of items you've graciously donated. -you'll likely also have to search for an employee to even accept the items, while the donation bay is marked "open." -expect them to keep some of the items you've donated, if they find them valuable (I've seen that happen several times.) -if you ask for a receipt for documentation reasons, they'll send you off in search of one amongst their bins. Good cause but they've burned me one too many times. The ungrateful, unhelpful attitudes are extremely off putting. I'll be donating elsewhere from now on. Plenty of other options.

After grabbing lunch in Waunakee I was in the mood for some thrift shopping. I was surprised to…read moresee that Waunakee had a thrift store and decided to check this place out. It's not on the main drag like you might expect, but just off of it, making it easy to find and park. It has a bit of an odd layout but they have plenty of stuff, and it was all well organized. Great prices, too. The store was clean and the staff was friendly. I will absolutely be coming back whenever I'm in the area.

As you make your way around the upstairs where she has laid out the beds (pun mildly intended), will have you longing to walk off with all of them at once, while their prices are nothing short of astounding. If there was ever a time to focus on buying local, this post-COVID time is it, and if you are looking for a place that is going to be fair, where you will find something that will last, this is the store. More importantly, Linda's knowledge of interior design means when you walk in and jabber as incoherently as I did, she will cheerfully help you find what matches your style and/or make your significant other happy without breaking the bank. When you go, tell her Guy says "Hi."

We let Fred's team into our home because he promised: Photographic inventory of the items we trusted him to take without us there..... we got nothing. He ignored emails from my sister and myself for months. He promised monthly checks as well.... after months of no responses from Fred, my sister asked me to go in to his shop. I did. Fred bumbled around came up with a bunch of bizarre excuses. Including saying my sister said to only work with her... she is the one who sent me there to confront him as to what stuff he took, and why he hadn't paid or communicated in months. He tried to bizarrely blame her. Anyways. Read other reviews and his attempted brags in his responses about how many clients he's had... which just support all the other reviewers stating how he ripped them off during tough family times. He's also been trying to get a review I left removed... Yelp admin... if you ever need receipts for any of these facts Fred tries to get taken down, feel free to contact me.
