After registering **online** for a donation pickup, I clearly listed how many boxes and bags there…read morewould be. I then received a **confirmation call**, during which I *again* explained there would be a large donation. I was told what items they would not accept, and I fully understood those limits (including one oversized sign that wasn't on the list). When the driver arrived, however, it became clear this was not a donation pickup -- it was **shopping**. The driver selectively picked through my items: * Wouldn't take antique chairs because "there's no table to go with them" * Took some lampshades but not others because "there are too many" * Refused a backdrop roll of photographic paper outright I was honestly shocked. Multiple times, the driver reminded me that **what he takes is entirely at his discretion**. I called the donation center to speak with a supervisor, hoping for clarification or support -- only to be told the exact same thing: *"It's at the discretion of the driver."* So let me be clear: if you're looking for a **charity that thoughtfully accepts donations**, this is not it. If you're looking for a charity that **picks through your belongings and cherry-picks what they feel like taking**, then Out of the Closet is definitely the place to call. Extremely disappointing and a complete waste of time.

I thrift for tea ware or cute ceramic trinkets. They have a large houseware selection here, though…read morethe shelves are crowded. Higher quality and priced items such as footwear and handbags are locked in a case. It's a clean store without the unpleasant musty odor from some thrift stores. The clothing section looked appealing although I didn't understand the pricing system with different colored plastic tags. You can shop online with the posted QR code. I love how clear their charitable mission is, from the entrance glass greeting to the donation boxes and listed of most needed items in front of the clothing rack. I found the back parking lot too crowded with display fixtures and collection containers to park. Street parking available although there was an uneasy amount of litter on Missouri where I parked. I didn't buy anything but I'd give it another try because of the reasonable prices.

Too bad this Yelp page isn't claimed. The location is a lawsuit in the making. The store was an…read moreabsolute disastrous mess, with 3 young guys behind the counter not doing anything. One of them, which is the lawsuit potential, was wearing rollerskates in the store and came out from behind the counter in them as if that's just how one does business. Hey, if his safety, and my safety aren't a concern then I really don't need to be shopping there. I say that because there was a ton of stuff on the floor. I won't be donating there anymore either. The whole experience was not good. If they can't be bothered to clean the place up and be available to customers then I can't be bothered to spend money there. 3-23-2025 1:50pm

You have a security guard at the door which is understandable because of the neighborhood you are…read morein. Do not make the security guard, ask people to check their purses, move their cars and whatever else is needed within the first 2 minutes of their arrival, it's very off putting. The employees can do this. The security guard shouldn't be forced to do the job of the entire crew. I have been shopping there for years, I will no longer shop here. I prefer to be greeted with a 'hello! welcome to our store' before being given multiple instructions by a guard.

Rosie is the best-- easy to talk to and negotiate with. Her store, a hole in the wall, has…read moreeverything you need at a much lower price. It may be pretty cramped and overwhelming but once you find an item you want, you just won't stop looking for more... and be so satisfied with some rare finds! She has appliances, furnishings (from bed to couches and tables), vintage wears, brand new clothes, shoes, bags and jewelry, books and even scooters and baseball gears. Love this store!

Most thrift stores usually have a small section for fur coats, but this store has its back full of them. I was in fur coat heaven! Prices are nice and reasonably priced. Staff allowed us to roam around the store and get lost in all the greatness. Adding this to my vintage rotation.

I spent the day shopping on Melrose looking specifically for vintage clothing and was largely…read moredisappointed by the offerings since my favorite stores have closed in the past few years. On my way back to my car, like a mirage in the desert, I saw the pink awning that is Dear Earl. So cute with big VINTAGE writing, I knew it was about to be good. Sure enough, Dear Earl did not disappoint!! I collect vintage tapestry coats and was able to get not one, but TWO at this store!! I got many more things in addition to those and the store is beautifully displayed with racks outside, stylish mannequins, and an eclectic selection of vintage from ladylike sets to Pleasers. Highly recommend checking out this store for alternative style and dopamine dressing!!

So cute!! Will be stopping in again! AMAZING prices! Also the owner was there and was so sweet!read more
