I've been there…read moreso many times when they have some really cool vintage pieces of furniture, oftentimes priced incredibly low. There's a vintage clothing section in the way back of the basement (seriously this is the best kind of thrifting) where I have found a vintage handbag and a vintage wool coat. Both of these items I get complements on All the Time. Honestly I brag about this place on the regular. It's like any other thrift store, sometimes you hit it on a good day, other times not so much. I go weekly. As for the poster comments on the staff, I've personally never experienced anything but decency. Can you really blame someone for wanting to leave work on time on a Saturday afternoon? Sheesh...

Here in the UP, a lot…read moreof kids can't afford the new stuff, so a strong resale shop like this is pivotal for back to school shopping. It's not inferior merchandise in many cases either. Like Eric P says, this is indeed a good one. Set back from the main road not far from Wal-Mart and other smaller mall stores and restaurants, it may be a little hard to spot with the hilly terrain of Houghton. Inside, it's not a cluttered resale shop but more like a department store in its arrangement. We've found clothes for our kids that are perfectly clean and wearable. There's also lots of shirts and sweaters and plenty of sports logo wear, assuming you're into the Green bay Packers and Michigan-based institutions. I like the fancy pattern sweaters with wild colors and a Goodwill is the place to find them for cheap. Someone else's closet-fodder can be my winter wardrobe. The toy section is a bit run-down, more like a poor yard sale, but it kept our kids occupied while we shopped the store without them nagging and misbehaving. Seems we always leave this place with something good on our vacations up north.

Great place to go if your looking to furnish your apartment or house on the cheap. Staff is always friendly. Everything seems clean and well organized.

They also advertise that you can make an offer on any furniture that's been for sale more than 30 days, and on the multiple occasions that I've tried to do that, I'm constantly told that "the price was just lowered". Why advertise that you accept offers if you don't? Go there for the clothes and other assorted knick knacks - not the furniture.
