Nevada County Habitat for Humanity ReStore

This is a great place for used furniture, appliances, sports equipment and building materials. Constantly changing inventory. Good prices.
Not so good for small items like dishes, cooking utensils, pots & pans.

Pretty sure I couldn’t love his place anymore. They constantly have new things, the employees are all awesome and helpful and the prices are comparable (the furniture section is a bit high though)

This is a great thrift store, focusing on items mostly for remodeling your home or your garden. We visit regularly and have bought a lot there over the past five years. They’ve recently created an entire «media» section, with electronics, vinyl albums, CDs, etc. There’s a very cool DIY display of cute, funky stuff you can make out of recycled materials. It’s very unfair that a June 2009, very negative review appears on the main review page. Restore hired a new manager about two years ago, Danny who used to own Wolf Creek Sports on East Main, and everything is much better now in all aspects of the store. It’s gotten a lot more organized, and the displays of certain items are much better now (e.g., tile) than they used to be. For people who don’t like their return policy, DON’T BUY anything there if you think it won’t fit, won’t keep working, you’ll change your mind, or whatever. If you don’t like their prices, DON’T BUY IT. Angry, vicious reviews say more about the reviewer than they do about this place. All proceeds go to a great cause — helping locals become homeowners. We love Restore.

The restore has a lot of items… but that is where it ends. The prices are outrageous… that is unless you want a hunk of junk chair for $ 20. I mean come on, they get all of their stuff for FREE… There is no price break, because for a $ 200 item I don’t really consider $ 20 off a bargain. Yes… there are some people that still exist that actually NEED to shop at a «thrift» store because everything in retail is over inflated. The Restore is no exception to this rule.

I love going to the ReStore! This is a great place for finding repurposing materials and just about anything for small home projects. For the creative homesteader and crafter, the ReStore is a gold mine. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. If you are looking for fixtures and/​or parts, it is a good idea to bring the device with you. Sometimes there are many different sized parts for similar appliances.

Great spot. Don’t really understand the bad review. We have always been treated very well when shopping here. Their prices are flexible, we negotiate $ every time with no issues.

We love this place. We have gotten some great deals here (5’x6’ double paned operable windows (metal frame) for $ 25 for example) over the years and we have found the staff to be very friendly and helpful. The place has so much, and sometimes of course it is hit and miss, but worth stopping in for the occasional treasure you find. Sometimes the prices are not as low as I’d expect or hope, but at least they are raising money for a good cause.
Also, a word about appliances — we have not bought one there myself but in donating they would not accept one we were offering because it was not in perfect working condition. Perhaps the policies have changed since the 2009 review, but they seem to be more particular now.

Great Store and friendly Staff. I really enjoy shopping here knowing all proceeds go to Habitat for Humanity and assist in providing safe, affordable homes for qualifying families!

I have been to many Habitat for Humanity ReStore shops, and have had great experiences at most of them. However, the Nevada County ReStore is a JOKE! The employees are totally rude and pompous and they are VERY inconsistent with prices. It also irritates me that they don’t test out the appliances before they sell them to you. They do guarantee that in the event that something doesn’t work, they will take the item back and you will receive store credit. Store credit??? Why the hell would you pay… say $ 200.00 for a stove, go to all the trouble of bringing it home, find out that its broken after you’ve installed it, and then try to return the damaged item that they sold you (damaged when they sold it to you cause, remember folks, they don’t test stuff out!) for $ 200.00 store credit!!! Sorry, that was a long sentence. But c’mon now! That is REALLY BAD business on their part. I’d also like to mention that all of their stock is donated to them for FREE! Would it really hurt them to give refunds back; especially in our time of recession? I will go out of my way to avoid the Nevada County ReStore at all costs!
