Ohhh the humanity!! This store should be ashamed to call itself a thrift store with the proceeds "helping" "Richmond Habitat build safe, affordable homes for local families." I have been to other Restore locations and the items were modestly priced for folks in need of used furniture, lamps, home decor, dishes, glassware, appliances, utensils, etc. This shop is hilarious! I gawked in disbelief when I saw donated items marked like a high end antique store! Ridiculous! A mirror for $100, a teapot for $125, small wicker shelves for $125 each! Dish sets for $300! Couches for $500 & $600! Despite the fact that some of their item are vintage, they are DONATED! They should not mark up the prices so as to compete with actual antique shops. I was shaking my head throughout every aisle! I'm embarrassed for them. It seems the true meaning of thrift/donation shops has gone by the wayside... taking a page from Goodwill's playbook and hiking up prices so the truly needy can't even afford used "goods" and clothes. It's a shame that the positive work this "resell" store does by providing homes to people in need is overshadowed by the exorbitant prices of their donated merchandise.
There were some new items, housewares, decorations, signs, gifts, etc. but the majority of this shop was overpriced. Some coffee mugs were $2, and that's about right! I won't be coming back ever, because they are taking advantage of shoppers and the needy looking for good deals. Tsk, tsk. read more
