We’re proud of the experiences we create, but don’t just take our word for it — hear from our happy customers.

Haven’t even made it out of the parking lot and had to leave a review. This was one of my best ever thrifting experiences. And I’m 23 so you know I love to thrift. They were crazy helpful, gave me an INSANE deal, and were just so nice and sweet and smiley from the moment I walked in. And the proceeds go back to a foundation that does such good work? So cool. Will def come back.

Their staff was very professional and approachable, and very, very helpful. When they delivered my couch, they were also very congenial and very nice.

I wanted to leave a special thank you for D'Angelo and Jaiden. From the moment we walked in, they made us feel so welcome. Their service was a genuine example of how to treat customers—they were patient, knowledgeable, and incredibly attentive. We are so grateful for their help and the time they took with us. It was a wonderful experience, all thanks to them!

I found out about them through Facebook marketplace. I walked in and was immediately helped to get the item I came for. I found out it’s a company that helps men with addiction and criminal records get back on their feet and integrated back into a healthier way of living. They have so much beautiful furniture. I highly recommend them!
