I’m giving two stars for the books — they have a HUGE selection! That’s the one thing this place has going for it. But the prices of furniture is outlandish. Outrageous. Highway robbery. I couldn’t even believe what they were asking for things — like triple take, you have got to be kidding me. It’s a thrift store, where people get used things and pay a reasonable price. For what they were asking on the furniture you could practically get something new that isn’t banged up and doesn’t need a new paint job. I’ve noticed this at other St Vinnie’s locations around but this one was by far, the worst. How do they even sell anything? Who is buying it and why are they paying so much? To me it undermines their mission as an organization.

I love this location but recently they have been stocking high end merchandise. So be weary walking in that cute distressed side table might be $ 80. But if you’re looking for pottery barn and crate and barrel type of stuff they got it here.

Went searching for a couple of dinning room chairs that were in decent shape with a friend who doesn’t have a lot of money to spend on stuff that isn’t a necessity being a single mom. We found two chairs that were in decent shape, very old though and needed a new paint job and one chair needed glued back together, but fixable. We then looked at the price of the two chairs and they were 189.99 each! Are you kidding me! Two used beat up chairs that needed repaired for 189.99! If she had that kind of money she could go to a furniture store and purchase two new chairs for cheaper! I thought this store was for those in need who don’t have a lot of money. Obviously I was way wrong. This store excludes those in need. Will never contribute anything to this store again. My stuff won’t help anyone that truly needs it.

This place has the BEST book selection… and I mean BEST! I will never again buy a book for full price. It blows my mind that they have so many great finds. My best friend and I treat ourselves often and come here to stock up on books. It’s become an obsession, really. All of the St. Vinnie’s in Eugene have great books but this location truly has it all when it comes to books. I highly recommend coming here!

I’m not impressed by this location at all. It’s big, but very unorganized. Prices tend to be outrageous. I saw a used and pretty dirty Coach handbag with a broken zipper being sold for $ 100. I can drive to the Coach outlet store and buy a brand new one for $ 85. Oh and it’s a clean handbag with nothing broken. Their prices aren’t much below what something new would cost. Which means it’s almost easier to just go buy something new. There are many other locations with much cheaper prices, better organization and friendlier employees.

Huge store! Decent selection of clothes, but not as good as Goodwill Green Acres. Depends what you are looking for for this was my experience the time I went. This store wins for the huge selection of books that is easily a solid organized bookstore within the store. You’ll find gems that are priced a bit high up front, but affordable books are a plenty.

Recently, they decided to stop sorting their clothing and shoes by size, now, they sort by style and color instead. Bad idea! There is a reason pretty much every other store in the universe sorts by size. What customer would want to waste hours sorting through the entire store when only a small percent of it is actually their size?! Who has time for that?!! Also, they’ve recently decided to raise their prices. Interesting, considering they were already overpriced… I’m pretty much over St. Vinnie’s until they put things back in size order. It’s just too much trouble to dig through the entire store.

Ok, I admit, I have trouble having patience in thrift stores because they’re usually so disorganized. Well, be prepared to discover the most organized thrift store EVER. If you want books, they are actually alphabetized and organized by subject(which is a rarity at thrift stores). I won’t even go to a Goodwill anymore, because this is so much nicer. They have a great used furniture section where they import furniture from the UK. The only reason I’m giving 4 stars instead of 5 is the prices on the furniture seem a bit high. I’d check River Road 2nd Hand first. However, I did get them to bargain with me when I bought a loveseat and two chairs here. You can find sewing patterns here, a wide range of household décor and supplies, clothing(though I usually don’t have the patience to go through it), art, silk flowers, craft and art supplies, and so much more. Definitely one of the nicest thrift stores I’ve been to.

Holy cow, this place is AMAZING. This is a St Vincent de Paul«Super Store» and it lives up to the name. I mostly looked at the books, and they had the most incredible book selection. On par with most used bookstores, only way cheaper. Lots of categories and most were alphabetized(rare for thrift stores). Kids books were 50 cents, and most adult paperbacks(all sizes) were $ 1.25 and hardbacks $ 2.50 with the really nice ones being a bit more. The rest of the store was very large. It looked like they had a decent selection of nice furniture and loads of clothes. I am going to make stopping here a priority next time I am in the area.
