Empty the Nest

The empty nest offers a variety of goodies from estates and auctions. It offers rare finds and antiques that become stand out pieces inside your home.Be prepared to be wooed when you visit. It is relaxing walking around looking at the items until you find your favorite piece.

The location is now in Golden Valley. Google one week said they were open but sign said closed. I was again nearby and called and their message said open Feb 8-9 and Feb 14-16. Drove over and they just opened at 11 on a Sunday. The guy at front door said everything 30% off but some China cabinet. Then hoards of people are in the store. It is so ridiculously cluttered and you are backed into corners trying to get by. I didn't find anything and prices were high to begin with. I couldn't get out of their cluttered store with hoards of people fast enough. It is not a thrift store!

For someone who seeks rundown old ass stuff to bring back to life, this place is a gold mine.I found a work bench on Craigslist for $18, perfect for a refurbishing project. I called them on a Wendesday and found someone. I was surprised because they're only open Saturday-Monday. They told me it was available and they take appointments outside of open hours for any Craigslist posts. I decided I'd call back Saturday to check and make the drive there. Saturday morning I call, it takes about 8 calls to get someone to answer. A woman said they were extremely busy and would call me back in 2 minutes to let me know if my table was still there. 30 minutes later, no call back. I decide to just head there. Parking and the store was packed. Lots of old junk to browse through. Luckily my table is still there, and I find a plethora of other goodies. I practiced restraint and only purchased my desk and a chair. They take visa by the way. Online the desk was $18, the sticker in the store said $22. My simple wood chair was $18, should have been $10 compared to the desk. Although still cheap, prices are off at this place. I'm guessing several people do the pricing. I showed the cashier the craigslist ad and she happily made an adjustment. A couple really nice workers loaded the desk in my car for me.Overall, the people were super friendly, there's a lot of stuff to check out, and prices are cheap. However, the cons are that they don't answer their phones, lie about calling back, and don't price items correctly.

Wow! What an AMAZING, MARVELOUS Thrift store! So many items in good condition with awesome prices that can't be beat! On my FIRST visit last Sunday, I got the cutest coffee cups with brass handles for $1 each and a nice coffee table for $2! Amazing store that's only open three days a week Saturday, Sunday (all day) and Monday evening. Check their website for accurate times...My new favorite thrift store! Yippeee!

This place is overwhelming! They are full to the brim with cheap antiques and oddities. A staff member told me they clean out 10 houses a week and stock is constantly changing. They're open Saturday to Monday. I would suggest going on a Monday to hopefully beat the crowds. It's pretty chaotic and I often times found myself "stuck" in an aisle because people would come snooping on all sides. Now that I think of it, it actually reminds me of the room of requirement in Hogwarts. And I did find some cook ware that I needed...Anyway, prices are insanely low (priced to sell!) and I did hear people haggling and getting them even lower. I would go again if I was looking for special items, great for gifts and hard to find things!

OK - not my type of thrift store. But if you are the type who likes thrift stores where you really do have to go treasure hunting and dig through dirty dusty stuff, this place would be awesome for you! Like many, we were stunned at how busy this place was. Parking was indeed difficult. And when we got in, we joined the throngs perusing a loosely organized set of nick nacks and furniture. It was dimly lit and somewhat claustrophobic to me. And, like many thrift stores, it set off my asthma. So like I said - not my particular cup of tea. But I know there are people out there who love this type of store. So I'm not saying it's bad. Just wasn't for me.

What's great thrift store! They had so many interesting finds, and at a great price! You don't don't that often in the metro where they have great prices and great finds! They are constantly bringing new items in so I am excited to go back!

This is my 2nd time shopping here , lots to choose from most of the stuff is older but its very cheap and in good condition. They change things out every hour , they are open 3 days a week.

This was a great place when it was a true thrift store located near the intersection near 55 and Boone Ave. Not so at it's current location of 1000 Boone Ave N. The couple who owned it got divorced, the husband got the store, and it's now a hoity toity shop with overpriced items that I would never buy. I will never go into the new location again. It would hardly earn one star now.

They did the cleanout at my Mom's house after her passing and did a fantastic job. They were clear about what they needed from me, and what they could and couldn't do. They helped me schedule the work, kept me apprised of its progress and even finished early, even though it was a huge job at the end of a difficult driveway on a busy street. I was able to get the house ready for sale sooner than expected, and feel good that as much as possible of my Mom's things ended up doing the most good. Enthusiastically recommended!
