Honestly, for a thrift place, things were remarkably well organized and not in too bad of disarray-- I've seen A LOT worse, lol. It was also pretty big, so I was there awhile scrounging the aisles. You will find a fair amount more clothing and footwear that's female-coded than male-coded in this store (I use those terms simply because I don't think clothing is restricted to gender-- I'm a guy who wears both "men's" and "women's" stuff). The ratio is skewed in that direction though, just to let you know. There's also plenty of children's stuff. And knick-knacks galore. Furniture, electronics, kitchenware. Just lots and lots of your typical thrift shop stuff. It was hopping inside. Possibly because it was Tuesday, which is Senior Discount Day (20% off), but yeah, people were enjoying looking around. I'm always glad to see people thrifting and reusing stuff that still has life in it. I personally came out of the shop with some nearly-new winter shoes for under twenty dollars, plus some very affordable thank you cards + envelopes! I was pretty happy.

This business does try to be a one stop shop for a wide variety of customers. Whether you're just looking for a gift, you have a pot on your deck you want filled, or you have a more substantial landscape need - the mustard seed should be able to help you. The customer service that I encountered seem nice. Being a believer in a mostly liberal state it was nice to see a business that wasn't ashamed about their beliefs - for that I appreciate what they are trying to do. In regards to price - some products are a little expensive compared to your bigger box retailers. Make sure your wallet knows that to help any impulse buys.

The staff is welcoming and go out of their way to help to the best of their ability. I have been coming here for years for annuals, veggies and perennials. It's incredibly rare that I have an experience that left me feeling dissatisfied (no one is perfect). The one thing that stands out at this garden center is that they do their very best to find specific plants just for you. I love this place. I appreciate the help from the staff and the education I receive when I ask for help.

I recently bought a desk that was listed as "functional," but when I got it home, I discovered that key parts were missing--including the motorized desk leg and controller & pieces were completely incompatible. While I take some responsibility for not inspecting everything more thoroughly before leaving, the description indicated the item was complete and in working order & no parts were missing. I'm sharing this experience so that future buyers can be more mindful--especially when considering larger or more complex purchases. I'm raising this concern in hopes that the business will take more care with how items are described and listed moving forward. I'm sharing this feedback in the spirit of transparency and consumer awareness/protection. I've reached out to the business, and there has been no response or any help.

(Response to Owner) Thank you for your response. I do…read moreappreciate you acknowledging that the listing was incorrect. However, I want to clarify an important part of the situation that was not addressed. When I arrived and discovered there was only one board instead of the two clearly described in the listing, I did not simply reject your resolution. I asked for a reasonable middle-ground solution, to pay half of what I bid, since the lot was misrepresented as containing two boards. That request was dismissed without consideration. I ultimately chose to keep the single board because I had driven over four hours and had specifically bid on it with the intention of using it for wakesurfing. Walking away empty-handed after that time and expense was not a practical option. That said, keeping the item does not mean the situation was resolved fairly. The issue was never just that a mistake happened, I understand those can occur. The issue was how it was handled. Offering only a full refund or requiring full payment for an item that was clearly misrepresented did not feel like a customer-focused solution, especially when a reasonable compromise was suggested. From my perspective, it felt less like an effort to make things right and more like "take it or leave it," which is what made the experience so disappointing. I hope this additional context helps clarify why I felt the way I did. ((Original Post)) I have been part of the estate sale and online auction community for quite some time, and unfortunately, this has been the most disappointing experience I have had with an auction business. I placed a bid on a lot clearly titled and described as: "Phase5 Wakeboard Decks - The Wild Beige & Red - 50in Each (Lot of 2)." The description explicitly stated this and more: "Phase5 wakeboard deck set featuring two distinct boards for water sports. Both boards are approximately 50 inches in length and appear used with minor surface wear." Based on both the written description and the photos provided, I had every reason to believe I was bidding on two boards. As an online bidder, especially one traveling over four hours from out of state for pickup, I rely heavily on accurate descriptions. This platform offers both shipping and pickup, so it is not unreasonable to expect listings to be at least reasonably correct. Upon arrival, I was informed there was only one board included in the lot. When I brought up the listing and description directly from their own site, I was told their "AI sometimes messes up," and that they "try to double check." That explanation is difficult to accept, given how clearly and repeatedly the listing referenced two boards. After I expressed my concerns, especially after spending hundreds of dollars, the staff consulted their boss and offered two options: accept a refund so they could resell the item, or keep the single board for the full price I had paid. At no point did I feel like my experience as a customer mattered. The focus seemed to be entirely on preserving the sale rather than addressing the clear error in a meaningful or customer-focused way. While they referenced a general disclosure about potential inaccuracies, that does not excuse a listing that explicitly and repeatedly described a quantity that did not exist. It raises serious concerns about how such a significant discrepancy made it through their process in the first place. This experience was extremely disappointing. Given that similar concerns appear in past reviews, it does not seem like meaningful improvements have been made. I am sharing this for transparency and consumer awareness. If you are considering bidding, especially from a distance, be aware that the item you win may not match the description you relied on. Based on my experience, I will not be purchasing from this business again.

If you don't stumble across it, like I did by hitting the supermarket it shares the plaza with, you'll never know about them. Maybe they like it that way. As the name implies they focus on furniture. The assortment is typically nice to average. Way better than your typical Goodwill or Savers, not as nice as others. The people who work here are very nice. They had an overdose of now-boat-anchor armoires that they were practically giving away but for sofas, chairs, art etc pretty nice. They do have other stuff like books, CDs, brutally overpriced vinyl, kitchenware, but prices are good to crazy. The place is cavernous so a good look around will get in your steps. Again if you don't save a note to remind yourself to visit you probably never will because they're almost invisible. If I hadn't been cleaning out desk junk I wouldn't have remembered I had kept a receipt from here. I have meant to go back but forgot the name and searching for thrift shops is pointless on this place. If you're near here or looking for some room revitalization it's worth a visit. I'm reviewing the place so I can find it again myself.
