Repeated Poor Staff Behavior - Buyer Beware…read more I visited the Habitat for Humanity Restore on Sunday, March 15th, for my third visit to the store. On my first visit, I was assisted by a gentleman whose attitude I would describe as inconsistent (nice/nasty)--both nice and dismissive at the same time. I purchased several items that day, and he helped load them into my vehicle. I decided to overlook the attitude because I was happy with my purchases. On my third visit, I unfortunately encountered the same individual. Once again, he displayed the same inconsistent nice/nasty attitude. While loading a large purchase into my vehicle, I suggested a different way to place an item so it would fit more easily. He followed my suggestion, and the item fit perfectly--but he seemed visibly upset and brusque afterward. As I stepped back to take one last look around, I overheard him making unprofessional comments about me to two other staff members. When I approached the staff area to address this, he claimed I was unappreciative, which is not true, and added that he didn't work for another store, seemingly implying I was unreasonable. Two other staff members were clearly embarrassed by his behavior, but nothing was done to remedy the situation. While the store offers great deals, repeated disrespect from the same staff member on multiple visits is unacceptable. I cannot recommend this store based on my experience. Buyer beware.

I love this place, I try to come at least once a week because you never know what treasures you…read moremight find. Nowadays, most thrift stores put anything of value on Ebay or Amazon. That's why so many thrift stores are selling only lesser value items or junk. But here, they don't sell online and that's a big plus for their customers. The good stuff is still in the store and on their shelves. They are also reasonably priced. Save yourself shipping charges by stopping in and having a browse. Even when I am not looking for anything specific, when I find myself driving down Route 46 East and I see the Essex Diner, that is my cue to take the U-turn and drop in to check out any new merchandise they might have. Too many thrift stores are also in sketchy neighborhoods with cramped parking lots. Not here, they have a giant parking lot and they are in a very safe neighborhood. One less worry on your mind. And they are always looking for some good donations. So, if you have an old camera gathering dust, why give it to a relative where it will spend decades more in another closet or draw. Donate it! And whether shopping or donating, you are helping to change people's lives. That alone makes the trip worthwhile.

In September, 2024 I brought in clothes to be consigned at Once & Again consignment shop in Towaco…read more The owner Gina, chose 13 pieces. She told me she would send me the list of what she chose but I never received a copy from her. I took photos of all the pieces she took and I paid the $10 fee and got a receipt for it. On the receipt it said I would get 45% of the sales price and AFTER 90 DAYS, IF UNSOLD, THE CLOTHING WOULD BECOME THE PROPERTY OF THE STORE A week later I went in to see how my clothing was priced but only found about half put out. The most expensive pieces were not there. I went through every rack carefully. I asked the owner where they were and she said they were out but didn't have time to show me where. I stopped in 3 more times and could not find any of my expensive pieces anywhere in the store. I took pictures of the racks. Each time the sales person said she was too busy to show me where they were. On Nov. 20, 2024 I stopped in and th saleswoman said 3 were sold but again I couldn't find almost half of my pieces. So I asked the saleswoman to please have the owner call me and I wanted all my unsold clothing back. If I waited much longer the rest would become the property of the store. The next day I received a call from the owner and she said I could come an get my things. I reminder her that I wanted to get a check for the amount owed me. When I came in she gave me the clothes but the expensive pieces still weren't there. Gina said they sold. Hmm- in one day? I received a check from her for what she said sold. Please remember I was never able to confirm what price she asked for those pieces as they were never put out. I feel if I wasn't so diligent I am sure I never would have been paid for those expensive pieces and everything but three pieces would have become their property.

BEST STORE IN TOWN! I have several of their candles that smell and look like the wax has dripped a little. They last forever and smell terrific and look beautiful. The price may seem high for a candle but they are well worth it. I probably own about 5 to 10 antiques I bought over the years. There prices are great.

For those who haven't been in a minute, or haven't visited at all - there are actually (2) thrift shops to see. The main building (at 169 Chestnut) houses majority home goods with a handful of clothing and a section for kids/toys and pets. Across the street (162 Chestnut?) is where you'll find larger furniture pieces and the majority of clothing/shoes/accessories. Both spaces are laid out nicely, not overly crowded and organized. There are plenty of volunteers in both shops to assist you if needed. During my most recent visit I found (and brought home) a small near perfect milk glass mixing bowl (no doubt from someone's grandma's kitchen) for only $2. Others around me purchased a stack of plates, a beautiful oversized basket, a guitar! There really does seem to be a little bit of everything in the shop, and something for everyone. I thought prices were fair - drinking glasses are $1 unless otherwise marked. Picture frames were a dollar or two and it seems like they are often having a BOGO sale on those + artwork. They've got a kitchen section, an area of holiday decor, etc etc etc. Street parking is easy-ish and close to Rt 3 shopping [in Clifton].. so really a nice spot to stop in if you're in the area and find yourself zig zagging through Nutley trying to avoid traffic on Rt. 3.
