The…read moreprices seemed high to me but it was for my wife's birthday and I live in Santa Clara and felt good for using a local business. I was worried about our hard water and the deposits it leaves as it evaporates but was assured that they were easy to clean with mild cleaners. By late summer we realized that lime-away and soft scrub did little to nothing to remove the deposits. However a bigger problem started showing up. The rim of the birdbath started flaking off! I have owned several Mexican glazed pots and decorative items that live year round outside and have never seen this happen. By spring this birdbath was an eyesore. I took the birdbath back to the Garden Sprout and told the owner of our problem. He did not even come out to look at it (my guess is he has already seen others). He asked if we had left it out in the winter and I replied we had. He told us it was our fault, that he told us to bring it in during the winter. That it was "his job" to tell people that a hard freeze would destroy it. Well, all I can say is he did not do his job! I would never have purchased this birdbath if I had known I would have to unmount it and store it for the winter. I also noticed that he has no birdbaths for sale when I came in to report our problem. I wonder why? The pots I bought have no problems even though they were out all winter as well. I asked him what his final word was and he said "It is your trash". Well I guess it is. I wont be back!

The woman who is in charge of the consignments is an absolute beast. I had called prior to ask…read moreabout their store process. Whoever I talked to was an absolute sweetheart. Great! This was going to be a good experience, right? When I went in, the consignment lady was so rude when I asked a few more questions and kept saying, "Well you didn't talk to me about this! I don't answer the phones on Saturday." Dropped off several things, she rejected almost all of them. I hope the 1 or 2 items she kept sell quickly, as I will never do business with her again.

I contacted Urban Renewal on February 23 about consigning several high-end pieces from a home I am…read moreclearing out for a deceased family member. I do not live locally and was only in town for a short period of time handling the estate, so timing and communication were important. The home contains quality furnishings, including a Taylor King sectional, a custom Vanguard dresser, a large Restoration Hardware rug, and other high-end items. After nearly three weeks of back-and-forth communication, they finally were going to come out on March 13 and picked up only two items--a sideboard and a rug. To my surprise, after our conversation with the driver on his way, they then declined the rug. I decided to tell him not to even come, and I would not be doing business with them and that their business structure was extremely unprofessional and excruciatingly painful to deal with. During prior communication, they asked what price I hoped to get for the rug. I suggested $800 for a $3000 rug as a starting point, fully acknowledging that I did not expect to recover what I originally paid. I specifically asked for their professional input since this is their business and they know the resale market. Instead of providing guidance, I was simply told my price "wasn't their happy price." That was the extent of the explanation. The entire process was unnecessarily frustrating. Communication is routed through a receptionist who acts as a gatekeeper, making it impossible to speak directly with the person actually making the consignment decisions. Everything is filtered through short emails or secondhand messages, which creates confusion and delays. For a business that relies on consignors bringing them quality merchandise, the lack of transparency, poor communication, and inefficient process is surprising. Clearing out an estate is already difficult, and this experience only made it more frustrating. I would not recommend working with this company. Their communication structure and overall business approach are not consumer-friendly.

Stopped in to "browse" and ended up buying a beautiful curved glass with wood shelves curio cabinet. Totally forgot to snap a picture before it was wrapped up. If you go, here are a few tips. 1. This is no place to bring the kids. 2. Be prepared to pay in cash or Venmo. The day we went the CC reader was put of commission. 3. You'll need to make your own arrangements for packaging and removal of large items. Luckily, we had a friend in the area with a truck who came to our rescue. 4. One time thru and you'll miss a lot of good stuff so take your time and revisit each room.

There are also signs reminding parents to keep an eye on their children, don't touch this and don't touch that. It's very off putting and immediately made me feel unwelcome. If you have children (especially in strollers), are in a wheelchair or have anything larger than a small handbag on your person, you'll find that navigating this shop is difficult. The aisles are incredibly narrow; inventory fills every available nook and cranny from floor to ceiling. There are trinkets and knick-knacks all around-some look to be collectables. I'd imagine that some people get great joy out of hunting for treasures here-after all, there are plenty.
