The top of the $400 dresser I bought was covered with a runner and on top of the runner was a…read moreselection of several large lamps for sale and several Knick Knack/tchotchke items for sale. Although I looked over the dresser, opened the drawers, etc., I did not move all the lamps and many assorted knick knacks. I then paid for the dresser and made arrangements to pick it up the following day. When I returned to pick it up, there was a VERY LARGE split in the wood, ALL the way across the entire top of the dresser and way too wide to repair by any method. This major damage had been covered by the runner, the lamps and the knick knacks. So . . . Usually, normally, sellers will be transparent about damage, flaws, chips, cracks etc., and then it's up to the buyer to move forward with the purchase or not. Because the damage was so extensive, I did not think the dresser could be transported without breaking completely in two. Because the damage was hidden/concealed, I felt deceived. I pointed this out to the staff, who launched into their "no refunds" spiel before I could even finish my sentence. I was rather abruptly offered to the "opportunity" to leave the dresser (and my $400) behind if I no longer wanted it. Still, I extend Kudos to Twice Is Nice for serving seniors in need!! Thank you to the volunteers who offer their time. Thank you to the folks who donate. If an item is damaged, you don't have to attach flashing lights or a neon sign, but it's not "nice" to cover it up, then pile it high with multiple heavy items making the damage almost impossible to detect until too late to make an informed purchase decision.

Wonderful finds in excellent condition! I always spend too much, but come home with great things!…read more If you make it to Charlottesville, I highly recommend this place look out because Twice is Nice has two stores in the same general vicinity.

I have thrifted a lot of art from here, I've noticed that a lot gets donated from older estates and this has been a good place to pick up cool pieces. Clothing wise the selection is pretty large. It is now a pretty popular spot for UVA students so just keep that in mind - they tend to clean out a lot of good pieces so stuff moved quickly. Furniture is usually in really good condition but the prices are very high - much more than Facebook marketplace. I think they have caught on to a lot of people buying and flipping furniture so a lot of the stuff here is priced fairly high. Overall the store is well maintained the staff are good and the location is safe and clean. Recommend if you are looking to thrift shop in cville.

I purchased today a pain of Fillippo Totti jeans 1080s. (pictured) A cute retro 70's one-piece that's groovy for skating with shorts or pants over! (Pictured) And a pair of perfectly worn in size 8 Hi-tec hiking shoes from the 80's as well!

On top of secondhand clothing, shoes, and jewelry they also have a selection of local goods/crafts for sale including soaps, other toiletries and jewelry.

But a great plumber is only good if you can get a response from them. I've been dealing with him for several years now. Consistently I've had to message repeatedly, call repeatedly. On occasion - as the first time I contacted him probably in 2023 - he answers the phone himself, and provides info on what he thinks the problem is. And he does phenomenal work. After a few years of being a good customer, patient, paying on time, never objecting to pricing, I **STILL** cannot get a response from him. One issue is that he's a one man show. It's him, or no one. His wife is lovely and accompanies him at times. Very knowledgeable herself. About 4 weeks ago I initiated contact and he responded immediately via text. Great, I thought. Then nothing. After a few more messages checking in, he said there was a family medical situation. I gave him space, and here we are two weeks and yet another text message to him later, and nothing. Nada. And still a leaking well tank. C'mon. Do better. We are done, hope you sort yourself out with other customers - I've seen several other people have had the same experience.

And they were able to make me an appointment within 2 days!! First and foremost the fact that they don't try to rip you off with a service/diagnostic/travel fee is amazing. Their fee is $99 and if you have the item repaired by them they take that fee off your final cost of repair. I received excellent communication before they even began service. Larry, the owner, called the day before to verify details of the services needed and who would be coming. On the day of service I received a text with my service technicians name and info as well as a photo of him. The service techs Eric and Jared arrived on time, wore masks and booties as well as used rugs to keep the areas clean. They were very thorough with inspecting my appliance and making recommendations as well as researching options.

When cleaning the carpet Bryan doesn't completely soak your carpet in water like most cleaning services, so the dry time is reasonable. The price point was terrific, I quoted about three other companies and his was the best deal.
