Habitat For Humanity

WOW! What happened to your prices? I have been going to all of your Restore sites for years, and always loved everything. I haven’t been in about 3 months and recently went to all 4 of them looking for a small dresser. I went home without one. Your prices are 2 – 3 times what they used to be. Do you have someone new setting your furniture prices? So sad, I thought I could always depend on Re-​store.

This is the best Habitat for Humanity in town. Very good deals and very good selection. I recommend that anyone doing a home project stop by here before heading over to The Home Depot — you might save yourself a pretty penny.

It’s good if you’re a builder. I was expecting something like the one back home which was a lot of home stuff and the builders stuff. This just didn’t have what i was wanting.

This store is much better than the Habitat out in Wheat Ridge. The staff works to help you, they are quick and assist you in any way they can. The selection is wide, and even though the store stocks used and donated items, they work with you to help you get what you want, the items that meet your needs. This in stark contrast to the other store in Wheat Ridge.

Well organized materials for the individual willing to dig through and get a smokin’ hot deal. Like many salvage material warehouses, it pays to go often as items get donated sporadically. Indoor and outdoor stock incl. counter tops. Range of used power and hand tools, paints, hardware, furniture. Well lit which helps to find items.
TIP: come armed with measurements and a tape measure as not all dimensions marked on doors, windows are accurate. Several other locations– all having various items on hand.
Fairly easy to get to– nearest major cross road is Santa Fe and Ellsworth. Plenty of parking on street. Loading dock makes large pick ups easy.

It’s a little bit tucked away, off a road that I thought only went to 1 – 25, so it’s a good idea to look up or call for directions first. I haven’t been to any other location, but so far I have only seen very tasteful, awesomely cool furniture on my visits there. It’s not the cheapest around, but the prices also tend to be a reflection of various pieces’ quality. This is an awesome place to come for home repairing/​fixing up. The wood trim bins are disorganized, but if you look long enough you can generally find enough suitably matching pieces for a cool project. Lots of window screens, much cheaper than buying new ones, and boxes of tile. Tools are hard to find here, the staff says they go really quickly-​probably because what little can be found is about 50−80% less than you would pay new. Prices are firm though, so don’t bother trying to bargain at the register!

After moving into our prime location in the Denver Highlands, we were couch-​less for a number of weeks. One summer day I returned home from a long days work in Boulder only to find the most hideous looking couch slithering softly on my beautiful bamboo wood living room floor.
In disgust I asked my boyfriend «Ahhhhhhh, (image the face in Munch’s Painting, The Scream) where did you find this banana slug mess?» Ok, actually, I read in «Women are From Mars and Men are from Venus» that I can not degrade a man’s decision process, so instead I said, «Wow honey, it looks like you got so much done today! And oh my, what is this precious new couch? Did you go out a buy this couch for us? I sure hope you didn’t have to sacrifice too much to purchase it! Where on earth did you find such a unique piece?» My boyfriend then answered confidently as he plopped down next to me on the couch, «I got it at Habitat for Humanity. I paid only $ 40 bucks and it used to be in a sorority house» He lifted his eyebrows up in down at this point and started smirking «What a deal huh?»
To say the least, there was no action for him on that couch, ever.
Don’t let my couch story lead you in the wrong direction however, Habitat for Humanity is one of the best resources for Flippers and Greenies a-​like and offers awesome finds at great prices every day of the week except Sundays (it is a religious organization remember).
Find everything here from tools, bed frames, doors, appliances, tables, chairs, lighting, fans, bikes, trikes, scooters, TV’s, and knick-​knacks. They even have a section where you can trade in your boyfriend for a new one after they buy the ugliest couch that Habitat has ever seen section. This trade-​in section often has a long line, and you are not necessarily promised a trade that is equally attractive or the same age as your trade-​in.
Strategy: Weekends are crowded, and the good items come in continuously throughout the week. Try dropping in there on the way home from work or on your lunch break to find a real treasure that has not been gobbled up yet.
I attach a picture of the old couch. yuck.
