Looking for bureaus, I headed south to this ReStore. Stopped at a used furniture "antiques" kind of shop on the way and found two variations: broken in some way ($125), and top notch expensive ($2K). Took notes but continued down the road to ReStore, where I found 2 suited to my size sought, and purpose. Both were selling for $60 each, one 3 drawer bombe chest (min $1K on Wayfair), and one antique 3 drawer with an inlay marque top, both in less than perfect but very good shape. Their staff was congenial, and assisted putting the bombe chest in my car, which BARELY fit in the trunk (yes, I expected this, as I'd brought a tape measure so was prepared).
I also picked up a new under appliance (refrigerator) brush to clean the coolant grill for about $3.50 (min $8 at big box) and 2 white sconce glass shades, $.50 each ($11 at big box).
They've enormous selection of building supplies. The only thing(s) in the entire store that looked not to be any bargain was the screws/nuts/bolts drawers, same as found at Ace/TrueValue stores, as they were priced the same. read more
