Huge warehouse-like thrift store, it is very well organized. So organized, that they even have a shelf full of ceramic cat sculptures! This area of town must have a lot of cat ladies getting rid of their stuff or...well, you probably get the idea. Anyway, I was on a quest to find a Hawaiian dress for my daughter. I found the clothes area disorganized and overpriced. I mean, $8 for a pair of pants? And these were just run-of-the-mill pants. They do have an impressive book area however. All hardcover books are $1 unless otherwise marked. I am a book lover and have run out of spaces to put books, so despite finding books on my favorite manga character Atom Boy and other artsy fartsy books, I showed restraint and walked away empty-handed. One interesting quirk about this spot, is that they must get donations from stores who have overstock. One time, I bought some very nice wooden framed art pieces for $.50 each that are still in my house. This time it was dozens of styrofoam tiki dolls, still in their cellophane packaging, they were only $.25 each. Thankfully I dont collect those.

I recently moved so Ive been needing all new furniture.This place has extremely cheap furniture in outstanding shape!Often times,you can find nice retro furniture, mostly for under $100.Thats waaaaaaay better than paying what an antique store would ask. I dont really look at their clothes, and their shoe selection is rather small,but they have a nice tie bin and a really nice belt and suspender bin.They even have a giant bin of wicker baskets!These are perfect for turning into kitty beds(just add a pillow).I especially love their selection of random kitchen stuff.They have everything from antique serving trays to silverware to candle holders. Every time I visit this place, I am always amazed at the prices of everything :) Good game St Vincent De Paul Society!

Dont come here to donate anything. We drove over from menlo park with an SUV full of clothes, computers, and other household wares. When we arrived they said they dont want anything from our car (before looking at it). They said they only want books and clothes. They also noted they wont take Ikea furniture (which we dont have). Apparently they can afford to be picky. I didnt give them the clothes I did have, since they said they didnt want anything. Waste of my time and gas. Id avoid this place if youre looking for a place to donate to.

The place to check first for tableware - they have a lot. There are stacks and stacks of plates, rows of china, and a long aisle of glassware, with some treasures hidden amongst the ordinary stuff. Also lots of furniture, books and a small selection of clothes

Great thrift store with actual thrift store prices. Dont go buy a piece of furniture or a lamp until you check here first. Theyre very big and have a HUGE range and selection! One of my top area thrift stores! Love It.

Great deals on furniture. Wonderful staff! I love popping in here to see whats being offered. I find I drive around back, make a donation, then park in front and buy something else.

A great selection of furniture, craft supplies, clothes and books. Loses points for not having a dressing room, though! Hard to buy clothes when you cant try them on.

When you walk in you feel it is a donation center but when you look at the prices it seems you walked in a dept store or buying brand new staff.

Lots of furniture here and very friendly help. I think I spent about $40 last time I was there. And I guess for a thrift or thats saying a lot.

Super easy to donate stuff. Drive up and drop it off and drove away. Dont forget your tax donation sheet thing.

People accepting the donations are extremely rude. My advice: donate elsewhere!
