This dirty thrift store is nothing but junk disguised as antiques. They are charging antique store prices for items in terrible condition, acting as if condition is not an important factor. That is why I see the same items there for years on end. They are not priced correctly and they will not work with you. Mark is the absolute worst salesperson I have ever dealt with in my life. He will treat you as if you are a complete idiot and have no idea what you are talking about. Yet, he has worked there for years. The owner must be pretty hard up for help or completely oblivious, because I have walked away from thousands of dollars worth of furniture purchases over the years because of marks snooty attitude. I have seen many people walk away from mark, in fact. Really, the only reason to visit is if you want some cheap clothes. You are much better off going to a real antique store. You will find better selection, better condition, and the same prices. And at least the people at the antique store will treat you like a guest they are glad to have in their store.

Ive been going here on a regular basis for over five years. I love this place and the employees. From a re-seller/personal purchase standpoint you should absolutely travel from near and far to visit this place. They have a little bit of everything. Some of the aisles are a bit narrow so heres what I do! I grab a plastic bin from the back area like by the tools and carry that around with me. Sometimes setting it at the end of an aisle and filling as I go...if one isnt available they dont mind if I set things up front. If I have my children with me I always bring a carrier. Then I can strap my youngest to my back. I dont mind the cramped space. They fit a whole lot of amazing things in this shop! Its like going to an estate sale without you know...going to an estate sale.

I have never seen a place so well stocked and organized. It is a bit overwhelming because there is so much to see. They know the value of their items are they priced accordingly but fairly reasonable. Take a shopping cart with you because its a long walk back to the front to get one. The store is that big. Dont forget to look up. They utilize every bit of wall space.

I definitely recommend this place for its service and its inventory. This store has wonderful hidden treasures if you take the time to browse through the hundreds of items -we got our 1920s dining room set, perfect condition for quite the steal. The salesperson Scott was not only very friendly and helpful but quite knowledgeable about the items we were purchasing. .

The furniture prices are soooo out of line...! Clothing is better. Want to be antique store also lists on ebay. Store is more of a storage area than a sales floor to the "thrifty". Check it out if you want a good laugh at a so called thrift store. Better stores all over Aurora...the Mission, Schomers, Goodwill.

I go there very often for ironstone and I got nice pieces for really cheap. Furniture is kinda high priced but I never asked for a deal. There is a lot of nick - nack things I get to do my crafts. Clothes - not too many and are not something you want to wear. Overall, for my needs I more than like the store.

Ive bought furniture, jewlery, pictures, clothing, and other small things from here. They add new things all the time, so I visit often. Ive never had bad or rude service in the 3 years Ive been shopping there. Also, it never hurts to ask if they can do better on the price of an item- some times they can.

I enjoy to go and buy some. I always make deal to lower the price. Sometime, I made deal to cut price by 50%. I know it is lot of junks but some are really good. The clothes and towels are not clean but it is pretty cheap. All you have to do is bring them home and wash the clothes of towel. Workers are good.

Very friendly employees. Insane collection of household goods. First time there today and they were having a great sticker sale. Some drool worthy antique furniture. Glassware and a variety of pretty porcelain knick knacks. I will definitely be back. A hidden gem this place!

Furniture, housewares, and more (no clothing). . . . This thrift shop is the largest in the area, and my favorite thrift shop ever, but wait - theres more! Half the store (the right side as you walk in) offers an assortment true antiques furniture and collectables.

If you are looking for the IKEA of thrift stores, youve found it. With pretty much any random piece of furniture set up to get you lost and interested, a 30 minute thrift run can turn into an hour and a half adventure. Plus, constant supply of vintage bicycles.

A very big store with many thing to pick from many old vintage items like , glass, lamps, tools, furniture, dishes many kitchenware items, but not alot of electrics and no cloches, I think. But they did take a offer I made more than once and that is a good thing.

If you like flea markets you will love thus place. Great assortment of antiques of any kind especially furniture. Also tons of books and I have NEVER seen low prices like this before. A pleasant surprise. Looking forward to BOGO books on Fridays.

This place has a lot of cool stuff but unfortunately I have to give them a 1-star because I bought a keyboard there ($23), brought it home and found that it didnt work. Emailed them to see if I could get a refund, no answer. Lesson learned.

This place is great. They have a ton of antique furniture and very good prices. The people that work there know their stuff and management is willing to haggle on price.

Dirty place, rude employees. They sell items as if they were brand new. Most things arent in the best condition. Never coming back!

Nancy G.

Lots of great finds if you are patient and willing to spend the time looking through the aisles.

Laura Crews

Have to really dig but you can find decent stuff if you just need odds and ends. No clothes.

Daniel Roop

Reasonable prices and a large variety of products organized pretty well.
