Habitat for Humanity ReStore

This place used to be awesome when they were north at 48th and Y. Fair prices and a color coded tag system with discounts designed to keep merchandise turning over. Their new location off of South 56th is at least five times the size of their old store, yet never seems to have the great selection they used to have and the prices have been raised across the board (wall art in particular is extremely pricey). Not only that, today I stopped in to discover that they've done away with their color tag system; now everything is priced as-is without a discount system. Additionally, the majority of the furniture being carried looked cheap and dirty. I did a little research on their website and found that they're now operating an eBay storefront where they seem to be diverting any nicer products. It seems like a crime that they're taking donated local items and trying to sell them online rather than keep them affordable and in the Lincoln community. I don't see myself shopping here again; I'll take my chances on FB marketplace.

A great place to buy great furniture and home materials for a bargain. Some of what they sell has been donated after being used, but they also sell surplus materials as well.Run by Habitat for Humanity, they have a service orientation. Their profit is donated back to Habitat for Humanity to help them build homes.In my experience, the staff are helpful, friendly and eager to assist.As first time home buyers, we are very excited to have this place as a resource! It has come highly recommended by friends, and after getting familiar with the place, we now see why.

Why pay retail?Furnishings, furniture, fixtures, even flooring. And it's cheap! Plus if you need tools, screws, etc, they have a large selection.And all of it turns over often, so there's always something new.

Not what it use to be. They use to know me by name, the friendly staff is all gone. The atmosphere matches the dark drab of the "remodel" they just did. The store is depressing, the quality of furniture has gone down as well as the customer service.

Great people in the store who really want to help. They also have quite a bit of construction stuff... Doors, windows, tools, hinges, nuts and bolts, etc., which is rare for these types of stores. The thing that stands out to me the most is the reasonable prices. The idea behind these types of stores is helping those in need, so that is the way it should be, but in recent years it seems that other organizations w/the same mission have really raised prices, almost to new prices in too many cases, as if they are catering to those with money looking for collectibles to bring in dollars rather than providing help to those in need with less.

I have always tried to support this store as I believe in their cause. However, today when we tried to make a donation of building supplies, all in excellent condition, their employee was extremely rude and told us to "take it all to the dump." That's it for me. I will never support this business again.
