When I wanted to donate a sofa and matching loveseat that were in very good condition, I contacted…read moreHabitat and left an email message. I received an email back in a reasonable amount of time considering how busy they must be. The person in charge of donations asked me to send a photo (which is totally understandable) before pick up was approved. Shortly after, an appointment time was set for pick up. I had the furniture placed in the garage as requested. The truck came within the designated time, and furniture was taken to the truck efficiently. I would say it was "professional operation." When it was picked up, one of the two men said, "This furniture is in great condition. Thank you for your kind donation and for thinking of us." I was happy to donate to a good cause and will continue to do so. Three years ago we donated oak kitchen cabinets when our kitchen was remodeled. I saw that they were sold for $550. I was pleased to help an organization with such an outstanding mission.

This review is for ReStore, the store front for used furniture and recycled fixtures and appliances…read morethat Habitat for Humanity runs in downtown Schenectady. Habitat itself is an outstanding organization and does great work. The H for H offices are located on Pearl, so this should be recategorized in Yelp as Home Furnishings / Retail Furniture, not Contractor Services. First off, hours: Thursday 10-6, Friday and Saturday 10-3. Tip: if you come early on Thursday, you'll have your best chance of getting pick of the new stock for the week, since they're closed the other days but continue to collect donations. So this is basically a thrift store specializing in furniture. It's everything you'd expect from a place that runs on donations. The stock is not by any means new or in style, but they do a good job in filtering out items so you don't have any dirty or unusually smelly items. Some of the items I looked at were broken or had significant flaws, but they for the most part seem to have filtered out truly unusable stuff. They do have a little bit of everything, and the repurposed fixtures (including doors and windows) are probably the cheapest you'll find anywhere. I had a little difficulty at first getting appropriate help - there were many volunteers but they had to find the chief guy in charge to do pricing for me, and they kept asking me the same questions about the items I picked out (as to whether they belonged in a set or not, like that matters for very used furniture) - but it's hard to quibble with volunteers on the basis of the service. They tried, even if they weren't as organized about things as they could be. Be patient with this sort of thing if you go in. If Design on a Dime ever does a Schenectady show, they'll love it here. I have a lot of fun speculating about previous owners of many of these items. (I really got a hoot about the five-piece living room set I saw on my most recent visit, where there was a built-in Stereophonic Console in the corner table unit. 1966, here we come!!) I also urge you if you do go, round up on your purchases and throw the extra money into the donation kitty. This group builds houses for people, and does it in a way that brings the people who will live in the house and own it into the building process. It may be unfortunate that this is needed, but it is, and doing a little shopping here can help this effort while helping yourself. One caveat: from the blank expressions I got when I asked if they check for bed bugs on the furniture upholstery, I'm going to guess that they do not do their own screening here. So given the reality of bed bugs and older pieces of furniture, I urge you to check for yourself. This is true for any used furniture these days. Update: adding a fourth star after multiple visits - the stock really does zing in and out (well, some of it) and Thursday mornings are definitely your best bet. The second floor, which I neglected earlier, has miscellaneous small fixtures, lamps, plumbing stuff, and so forth.

As a first-time parent, we needed (or thought we "needed") a lot of things. However, buying…read moreeverything brand new would simply be crazy. So, I found this place online and brought my wife here and we discovered we love it. They have lots of items (clothing, toys, books, large items like rockers and cribs) on the premises. But, much of their large item inventory turns over quickly and you can only buy what they have in stock. Thus, if you NEED a certain brand and model of ____ you might or might not find it here. But, if you want to start purchasing toys or books for your new son then this place has lots of options at "used" prices. As for clothes, I mostly just stay out of the way and let my wife go at it but their clothes are clean, sorted by size, and many of them are still brand new with tag. Regular prices are low, and sales are really good. Two downsides that I have repeatedly come across: (1) sometimes certain areas like their toy section look like a bomb went off. I think they try to keep it organized but it is tough. (2) their staff aren't always familiar with everything in the store. I have asked questions about certain large items like how to fold them up, or what accessories are available, etc. and I get blank stares. This is because some employees are not parents, but they usually freely admit they don't know. It can be frustrating, so if you see something you want here you might need to do some quick online research on your smart phone in-store to find the answer. However, the benefits by far outweigh the negatives. I only wish they had more wooden train items in stock. I guess people hoard them.

Had a bin full of mostly name brand clothing, and they barely take anything for minimum payout. The…read morepayout is not even worth the effort, unfortunately - easier and quicker to donate to a non-profit. Granted it was a Saturday, but the buy took 5 hours and you are required to pick up payment and rejected items on the same day. Clothing has been dropped off, neatly folded in the bin - the leftover items were returned all rumpled and tangled, just thrown in the box
