Habitat For Humanity ReStore Oakland - Oakland, California

I would have rated ZERO if that was an option, because of the front staff working at the register today 27MAY2025. She was not helpful at all. For every question we asked, her response was "NO,NO,NO" whereas the other guy used to open the other shutter for us to easily load stuff in our truck, used to provide card-board for cushion, even used to help us carry things outside.

All other employees at the back, even the men was very good, they get 5 stars. They were able to answer our questions if the stuffs were available or not, and allowed us taking pictures.

Large inventory and as one would expect it’s a bit of a treasure hunt: everything from tile to tables to tubs. Most items are in fantastic shape or need just a little TLC to get them back up to par. Prices fluctuate so don’t come in with the mindset that this is Salvation Army and everything is priced to move ASAP. There are deals to be had, but you have to look around, that’s also part of the experience.

2025 update: $4 bottle of awesome says everything I need to know about this place. They have completely missed the point of a habitat restore.

This place was great but apparently they've adopted a new pricing model and no longer negotiate pricing. Attempting to match second hand goods pricing to online retail sources is the perfect recipe for declining sales.

Big scam this place has the rudest people working there plus the prices are out rages especially things like washer and dryers or furniture. Let me remind you this place is for people that donate there stuff but they are putting a price tag on things like it’s new it’s disgusting I hope they close this place down.

The store has a great deal of second hand stuff for home improvement/repairs, used but great condition furniture, even some antique potentially collectible items such as porcelain cups or blenders straight from 80s. If you care about environment and into reusing/recycling, plus want to save money, that's a great place to explore.

Like other reuse stores, just larger to include home goods, furniture and home repair items. I found unexpected things here and I suspect that unexpected items turn up regularly. I’ll be back!

Priced like everyone going in there is a liberal do gooder making 400K a year and wants to spend 3k for bathtub. Used to be a place where you can find a box of screws for a decent price and remnants of floor tile you might be able to finish out a bathroom in that was a fair price and even occasionally get a great deal. There prices are so close to retail and there is no return policy. I purchased a stove from them got it home reconfigured the cabinets to accommodate the thing and it did not work. I would never buy another appliance from them if their policy remains. It aint worth the headache and it will cost you more. The doors aint perfect and need adjustment to install them and they are pricing them as if they were new. Thought the place was to help people out a bit. I rather go to Lowes or Home Depot or Contractors ware house and get what I need new. -- On a side note about 3 years ago I wanted to donate a couch and love seat. It was in good shape. It was the brand Ethen Allen. Not stained or anything, no rips or tears no cat turds in it. They did not want to take them... on the way out the door a Mexican fella asked if I wanted to sell them straight to him...... Well given that I was gonna give them to the place for free I passed them off to him and he was tickled pink and soooooo appreciative. That to me at least is what it is about.. Helping people out with just enough to make their day a tad better... This place is just greedy at this point.

They absolutely did not take a refund as I went back with the stove and they said no refunds. My only salvation is that the metal recycler was not too far away.
