Habitat For Humanity Restore

Like all restore locations I’ve visited, this place is awesome for building materials (tile, windows etc.), and hit or miss for things like furnishings and accessories. I feel like the prices are very realistic.195 dollars for a really decent sofa with no stank and no visible wear. This one seems to have the hook up with what I call «cheap Chinese kitchen cabinets». It looks like they are brand new and come in several finishes. Alas, this trip they were devoid of SS electric stoves (oodles of gas), but we will be back as the stock is constantly refreshed.

I’ve been to Restores here and in Ohio, and I’ve gotta say, this one surprised me. I was really interested in real estate investing when I still lived up north, and I used to peruse them for their good deals on cabinets and bathroom stuff.
When I went into this one, it was very clean and super organized in comparison to the others I’ve seen. They had a chair that I wanted to throw in the back of my car as soon as I walked in the door, and even an old claw foot tub that I have no use for, but figured would make a great yard accessory that my neighbors would just LOVE to have in their front yard of our condo community… ok, not really but I did love the tub.
The best thing about this one was the cabinet selection, and I know that’s a fluke. I know you can’t base the rating on the inventory alone. But, there was a beautiful cabinet set and the prices were better than I’ve seen in a long time for something of such a nice quality.
Now, the odd thing about this place is that a salon must have gone out of business or something, because they had all the beauty supplies you can imagine too. There was artwork, housewares, bathtubs, doors, filing cabinets, etc. everything you can think of. I think think this place offered a lot of neat finds. I will definitely peruse this store often.

this isn’t a review of this store but the Charlotte habitats in general… i run by these stores maybe once every 4 – 6 wks in my travels about town and the prices they charge now are CRAZY… plus theres no negotiation even if you show them proof they are higher… the one on Wendover had carpet squares 1×1 squares for $ 6…i showed them a Depot add where I could get them for $ 2 – 3 NEW… didn’t matter… has gotten to be to pricey for what amounts to being a huge Goodwill store that has industrial supplies in stock

Don’t buy anything new if you don’t have to! Check out places like Habitat Restore for your furniture, or other decorating needs.

The prices are very reasonable and it goes to a good cause. PLUS-​you can’t forget Julia’s Coffee! Delicious coffee! THEY DO ACCEPT credit cards… no cash needed! Prices are NON-​negotiable. This is for charity!

This place is great. Our old TV bit the dust, and as I am out of work we couldn’t afford a new one. The ReStore had a great selection. Not the most up to date flat-​screen high definition models, of course, but that can wait until I find a new job. We got an awesome deal on a nice 52 inch TV with a great picture. They also have a great selection of furniture and appliances, so we will most definitely be back!
Oh, and as a bonus, whatever you spend there is for charity!

If your looking for a good deal go elsewhere. We frequent a lot of thrift stores and i was blown away at the high prices in here. Some of the furniture was worn badly and the fabric had holes and they had them priced at 1000. We are doing some remodeling and the price for their tile was higher than Lowes regular prices. The manager said she found it elsewhere online for about 4 times what lowes charged and wouldn’t budge on the price. I guess they must get people in here with too much money which is fine if you just want to support a good cause but if your on a budget go to Lowe’s clearance racks and you’ll get better prices. The restore on wendover is bigger and better and they will negotiate with you on some prices.
