MTA Thrift Store

SHOP MTA THRIFT STORE BEFORE GOING ANY WHERE ELSE! I consider myself a connoisseur of all types of consignment/​THRIFT STORES. I recently moved from FL bringing only my puppy & clothes.
Unfortunately, I didn’t find MTA first and made the mistake of buying a couple things at higher prices & believe it or not felt ripped off by a thrift store.
MTA has absolutely everything one needs to set up a cool home. (EVERYTHING, meaning HIGHEST QUALITY MATTRESSES that are triple $$$ at retail stores).
The OWNERS ARE HANDS ON & the COOLEST PEOPLE who truly care about «our“Happiness. Great employees always available to help as well.
I’m so excited about this business I might take an ad out in the paper as I have much more to say ha ha. MTA HAS ANTIQUES AS WELL AS THE NEW CLASSY STYLE. Make it a daily run in~ you might miss a great find. As I have, several times. I am asking if they will call me from now on so I don’t miss anything! Did I say, I have furnished my condo?

Not huge store not a lot clothing but very cool items a lot of small vintages nick nacks. Found old school camera. Owner nice man.

This place is huge and you have tons of options of what you can buy but it is overpriced and on the beds, there are biohazard bags. It’s not a welcoming environment with those bags. Also items are messy and still have dirt in them. Employees are nice enough, but this store could polish itself up more.
The area is seedy, there is parking in the back. I would go in a group and make sure you clean whatever you decide to buy.

I love this place! Would never really buy their clothes but have bought really unique vintage furniture and pillows!

Love the place!!! It’s awesome! Quality furniture. Cheap! People there are super nice and helpful. It’s one of the best thief store I been in the area. I was looking for a props for a movie and most of thief store in Hollywood area are overprice. This place are completely reasonable!

So I saw plenty of nice pieces of furniture here but unfortunately the items were priced at an insane price. Basically it’s the furniture that people would be interested in giving away or maybe selling at a garage or estate sale but it some how ends up here being sold for probably more than what the person originally paid for it.

Went here with my daughter and found some awesome furniture finds… It’s easy to get to and they have delivery. Prices were great! We bought crystal lamps, solid maple fable and chairs, end tables, occasional tables, chest of drawers and lots of interesting wire baskets and such for planters and mirrors. We paid antique auction prices, not antique store prices! I am an avid junk, flea market and antique show shopper. This place is great and the owners will work with you if you are nice! I was not looking for clothing but they had a good selection of dishwater, pictures, baskets, chairs and other furniture, books, lamps and lots of other great items. Like all thrift stores you just have to hunt for what you are looking for!!!

No no no !! The place is big and the selection (we were 90’s costume shopping) is ok but one lady that works there yelled at me and daughter when we asked if we could try on a few things. Her reply was NO! Don’t you people listen. They’re not my rules they’re store rules. I had no idea what she was talking about since there are dressing rooms and I’m not sure if she confused us for someone else, but regardless I said «excuse me,» in case i heard wrong and she repeated herself. We walked out. As we walked away another staff member said sorry were closing in 30 minutes. Wtf

overpriced junk. unorganized.
there is a reason why it was practically empty on a saturday afternoon.

Overpriced! You could find things on craigslist for a fraction of the price. In addition, they obviously don’t check the items before putting them out on the floor, one dresser had a bunch of things the previous owner had forgotten to remove.

MTA Thrift Store is still an awesome place to purchase, window shop or donate. This evening, I found that this location has an interesting cameo on FX’s ‘Merried’ sitcom!
The employees are wonderful. I’ve had the pleasure since 2011. cheers

Come one guys. This is a second hand store in VAN NUYS. Things are wayyyyy to overpriced. There are so many items crammed behind the counter that are hard to see. I asked for assistance to see something and the girl seems annoyed. I will give it another try but with those prices, I’m sure I’ll walk out empty handed.

Not what I was expecting! They have EVERYTHING… I think it’s on the pricier side considering the merch is all… second-​hand… But there are some pretty neat finds. Lots of furniture, rugs, drapes, clothes, dinnerware, etc. I like that they make little dinnerware sets with pieces that don’t actually go together instead of having each mismatching piece for sale. Smart! And cute matches.
I’m assuming he was the owner, but whoever he was he was really friendly!
Clean shop, huge lot, I like.

Great little shop! I stumbled upon this store amidst one of my (far too) frequent meccas out to the valley and was definitely not (too) disappointed.
MTA is pretty typical in many regards. They offer colored tag sales and the usual hodge of furniture, trinkets and clothing. On this particular day, I was looking for wall hangings and furniture so I will forewarn that is all I kept my eyes peeled for but I was conscious of my surroundings. The furniture selection was excellent; the prices were varied. I saw some items that were undoubtedly overpriced and other items that made me think, «hmmm. you know that’s not that bad!»
although I wasn’t looking for clothing, I did take a stroll through and was dissapointed. The offerings were extremely limited and although many of the items were on «sale» the prices were still too high for a thrift store. If you’re looking for clothing I’d suggest you do that– keep looking.
and on to the housewares. Pretty good! I have a weakness for freaky mugs. That being said, I have acquired far too many and have put myself on restriction but I still look. If I wasn’t on freaky mug restriction I would definitely found a few items to add to me olde collection.
oh and the wall collections. Very good. If you have completely barren walls and a limited budget this is definitely a place to check out.
Although I didn’t leave with more than an item or two, I’m sure I’ll be back!
Pros: some interesting finds, not crowded, fairly decent prices
Cons: parking is a hassle, some items are overpriced, clothing selection is limited, can be tough to find (the store is in the back not facing the steet)

This is a good store. You can find a lot of actual antiques for reasonable prices. They have a nice organized selection of shoes and clothes, vinyl, which you can spend an hour alone looking through, which I might add has an extensive Barbara Streisand collection… nice clean place and it’s easy to navigate through unlike other thrift stores.

They have a lot of good stuff and for good prices. The service is ok, if you ask a question they answer it.

They have great furniture. I bought an awesome vintage cabinet before.
Clothing is hit or miss and the jewelry is great, although I must say overpriced for the location and being a thrift store in general.

I’ve been here a couple of times looking for furniture, although they also have a lot of clothes too.
The furniture is of better quality than what you tend to see in thrift stores, and the prices are at the high end of thrift store pricing but negotiable and reasonable considering that it is nice stuff. Overall, I’d rather come here than Goodwill, because there is a better chance that they will have something I’ll like, and it will still be priced within my budget.
I’m not picky about customer service, but it’s worth mentioning that the staff here are friendly and seem to be honest.
This place is way out of the way for me, but if I’m going to the Valley for something else and have the time I try to stop in. The reason for four stars instead of five is that they are a tad pricier than some of the nonprofits as aforementioned, and, because I’m unreasonably picky, I haven’t actually bought anything here (although I almost did once, but it had been sold by the time I made up my mind to get it).
There is a parking lot in the back which is shared with the other shops on the block. I don’t know what the other reviewer was talking about a bazaar, maybe he was there during a special event because whenever I’ve been it’s just been a regular parking lot.

I love this Thrift store! They have such a vast variety of goodies to explore — and at great prices. I found vintage caliber apparel at thrift store prices, lots of cool furniture, tsatskis and kick-​ass old style electronics. A Dresser’s dream… especially when working on low budget type features.
The best part: The owners and the folks who work there. They are very helpful and spirited! Customer service is of the caliber that you don’t see at these type of establishments.
The location is a little kooky, but well worth the drive. This is a great local business to support. Check it out if you’re ever in the ‘hood.

When I walked into this thrift store they were blasting Enya.
Strange…very strange.
I must say I’m mildly intrigued.
