This place never has consistent hours. Even when they have their ever changing store hours posted (never online- only at the store) the likelihood of them actually being open is slim to none. It’s a joke
For a place that operates on donations they’ve become way too picky about what they won’t take, while their prices are too high. We see them dumping usable furniture in the dumpsters and the price tags still attached - 25-75 bucks. Idk maybe mark it down to a dollar since it’s FREE after all, and start accepting reasonable donations again? Also barely ever open, less thank bank hours. Meanwhile a new Goodwill opened in town and they take everything with curbside assistance and they’re OPEN normal retail hours. This is no love for them either tho, being a greedy corporation. I’d rather use habitat but it’s like they’ve lost sight of their mission, in Urbana anyway.
Nice clean store with great management and staff who are always very friendly and helpful. Urbana Habitat provides wonderful service to the community. Highly recommend!
If you're looking for a great deal on repurpose and thrift items. Respectfully, go somewhere else. Prices were double from what other Habitat for Humanity stores in the area are. Take the extra drive and go to Springfield staff is friendly, the prices are fair and its a bigger selection of home renovations.
Love this store, the people are so friendly, and it supports a great cause Housing!!!
Bailey helped build two Habitat for Humanity in Youngstown, Ohio when he was in 11th & 12 grade...now he is building tiny homes for homeless veterans.
First time Ive been here. Its like Goodwill..lots of stuff that looks like it should be garbage. Prices are much higher than other Habitat for Humanities. I go to the one in Springfield..very clean..nicely setup..clean..opposite if this place. I pay 25 cents for paperback books and 50 cents for hardcovers..at this place they ate $4 & $5. Very overpriced!
This particular store is more set up for the proprietors as apposed to the consumers. That being said I had a nice visit because of the employees being friendly.
New store location is a plus. Store set up makes it look nice. Wide variety or furniture, housewares, books, art, building materials and what nots.
Unfortunately they have followed in the footsteps of goodwill by raising prices significantly. Disappointed it is no longer what I would consider a thrift store.
Great selection of gently used cabinets and doors. Always find great bargains on items. Staff is knowledgeable and friendly, full of local information. You never know what you might need when you DYI, I have learned to always check here first, before buying new.. I personally have never left this restore empty-handed.
I love love love this store. I can and have spent hours in here. From furnishing my mom's living room to buying a curtain rod, if I have needed something for my home or a family members I have found it here. The staff is super friendly and very helpful. The prices are always fair and sometimes even amazing. Looking to remodel check out this place. Just like to collect knick knacks or need a coffee maker? Yep, you guessed it, this is the place. Also if you have furniture or appliances or cabinets that you don't know what to do with after a remodel they will take them off of your hands and then someone else can change things in their home that can't afford new. Everybody wins! Everybody leaves this place happy. If they don't have what you are looking for, they will. This way you have an excuse to keep going back.
It's a hit or miss as it is with any thrift store. You can find some great deals one day and nothing the next. Great prices on some items and a rip off on others.
I'm a surprise they had moved I was smaller location the store is huge there's a lot of things to look at and I would visit it again I pass it but I don't go every week it's just now and then enough stuff is for a minute and they will help you you're asking for it otherwise that's just fun to visit him okay items that are dropped off that for our from antiques on up to newer things worth a stop to see
I just want to say that Habitat for Humanity is a wonderful organization. They help so many people. The store here in town to does not represent the organization very well. The store is messy and way over priced. A couple of the people who work or volunteer there were not very friendly or helpful at all. Maybe they were having a bad day.. I don't know. If you had reasonable prices you would sell more items. I won't go back. I would rather donate money.
I wrote this review before they changed locations. I have no idea what the store is like now.
Prices was a little high but considering where it was at I guess it was just right for the people there but I always thought habitat was for people who cut in the Ford to buy at Lowe's or Ace hardware so we had a rehab store not really sure?
Everything can be purchased to help a good cause. Bought an antique bed frame that in store would be $600 but got it for $25. Great deals. Inventory changes all the time so visit weekly. Friend picked up 2 couches for $25. Go and support them and help put money back into the community.
This is such a good idea. An easy way to help with habitat for humanity and get some really good stuff at great prices. The manager Anita is very friendly and helpful. Great place for bargain hunters.
GREAT place to shop for renovation leftovers, furniture salvage, flooring, lighting salvage, wood-paint-hardware leftovers, and even small house decor and kitchen items. Every week there is new inventory.
I really like this place. I'm there a couple of times a month looking for things. I live in an old home, with something always needing to be fixed or improved. I have found items for "electrical" and "plumbing" for my home with a bargain price compared to retail pricing. I've picked up a windshield wiper blade for a few dollars, brand new. Some smaller items are brand-new, in the package. Inventory changes all-the-time. My wife likes the "craft" items, fabric remnants, patterns, etc.. My son likes to look at the clothing -- One long lasting sale charged $5 for a brown-paper-shopping-bag-full of clothing. Anita is the manager and a friendly, kind, woman. Go check it out. Money spent goes to providing great, economical, housing.
