I am unsure of the previous ratings stating everything is clean, I purchased a steamer machine for making baby food and inside was growing MOLD!!!!!! It was so dirty on the inside, and heres the catch. The thing didnt even work!!!!!! I thought this place tested too ensure quality? I cant believe how unorganized this place is. The employees seem to not have a clue. Multiple instances my items were "misplaced", and on one occasion my items were given to someone else. Which I didnt get back! The called me to give me someone elses items once too?? This place does not make you much money at all. But if youre simply lazy and careless about your money and items possibly being misplaced, GO FOR IT! A lot of their clothes are just HIDEOUS I have no idea who they allow to pick their items (hopefully not a granny from the 40s that is what it seems like.) Sometimes things are priced so unaccordingly too. I mean, not everything about the place is THAT bad but come on, how are you going to tell me that you didnt take a 2 year old barely used nutribullet (because I was missing one of the jars and blades out of the 3 it comes with) because you are "picky" but your store looks like 1/4 of the items are from some dead persons estate sale?

Not thrilled with the store. Ive been to other Stuff Etc and to other resale stores to compare. Clothing had a lot of stains. I passed by at least 5 items that were stained and I picked up a couple things for my daughter and didnt catch the stain until later that day. The sorting section is a compiled mess that is visible from the rest of the store making it look very unprofessional. There was so much more merchandise that could have been on the floor. Also, the prices... I saw $50 Legos that sell brand new for less. Then I consigned some items. I was told that I would get an email with login directions for the website and an itemized list of the items they took. I never received that email so I called. They had the correct email on file so I asked for an email and still did not receive one. I like that it has both clothing and household goods. My only positive.

They have a lot of cool stuff I will give them that. However I went there to look at furniture and most items were either priced at retail price or higher. Do your research before buying something there. They were trying to sell a used standing jewelry box for $50 and you could get the exact same one at JCPenney brand-new for $50. Also there was a very simple glass coffee table they priced at $150. You could get the exact same table on Amazon for $90. A childrens basketball hoop they priced at $10. A brand-new one, same size, retail price at a kids store was $8. There was a small armoire they priced at $350. I found a bigger armoire with the extra storage space plus extra shelving online, brand new, for $299. I could go on and on with these scamming prices that theyre putting out. Do your research on what a brand-new item would cost before letting them rob you

STUFF IS AN OK PLACE TO SHOP BUT I WILL NEVER AGAIN TAKE ANYTHING THERE TO BE SOLD. SUPPOSEDLY YOU CAN SAY WHAT YOU WANT FURNITURE OR SPECIALTY ITEMS PRICED AT AND THAT IS WHAT THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO BE MARKED. NOT SO.... THEY MARK IT EXTREMELY LOW REGARDLESS, TO MOVE IT OFF THE FLOOR QUICKLY! MUCH RATHER GIVE TO SOMEONE NEEDY OR TO A GOOD CHARITY THAN TO BE TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF!! ALSO IF THERE IS A MISTAKE MADE AND YOU TRY TO TALK WITH THE OWNER HE WILL FLY OFF THE HANDLE AND STORM AWAY!!! HAS HAPPENED TO OTHERS I KNOW AS WELL.

This particular location does not have the best brands or follow its guideline of dated material (2 years for style). Youll see as far as clothing Target branded clothing fairly high priced from around $9-$10 while another Stuff store will barely except these brands and if they do it is priced $6. As another reviewer stated there is far more items in the back room yet to be put out. The people/staff are always very nice however there is usually a wait at the registers.

Have dumb staff! I asked to have my items held for me, since my items werent good enough, and I drive an hour to pick it up and get there and was told that my items were donated. And no notes were on the account. Just plain rude! I should be able to trust them when I called and asked to hold a extra day. If that wasnt an option I should have been informed. Very upsetting, because I had nice/name brand clothing that I could have still used!

When delivering my bed,they knicked my newly painted wall, that I paid $3,800 to have my walls painted.now Im on a waiting list to get it fixed.they did nothing to reimburse me for the damage to my new home I bought,the new wall that had just been painted and the knick needs not only painted,but new drywall repair then painted.they were not careful,during delivery,famaging the arch in the doorway, taking a chunk out of my wall/ doorway.

Slow, slow staff members that can be rude. Others are so chatty at checkout that they make others in line wait forever. They rounded down a 30% off item when it ended up ending in 7/10ths of a cent. Messy store that is often unorganized and prices make no sense--same item at two different prices. Used to like this place but now its just a pain, poorly managed and stuffed with clothing instead of decent things.

Dont waste your time...staff is rude, inconsistent "rules" for consigning and junk/dirty items. Not worth the time to try to consign when you get hardly anything back, for example I got $0.23 for a mens shirt from J Crew!?! You will spend more in gas getting there than making money! You can write off items to Goodwill or have a garage sale selling everything for a dollar & make more money than consigning here!

Stuff Etc is thrifting for beginners. Items are screened before they go on the rack and then arranged by type and size. I buy a fair share of clothes for my whole family from Stuff. Starting an account and bringing in items is easy, but dont expect to get rich off of your old clothes.

I love Stuff! The only thing I would change is the is the split you get when you bring your stuff in, I think itd be fair to get a higher percentage or if it doesnt sell you can have your things back but theres always something for everyone there!

I will always love this place. The staff is nice and the place is well organized. I have noticed the pricing has changed and items are not as cheap as they used to be which is sad because as a mom on a budget I cant afford a lot for clothes.

I used to love shopping here recommend it to everyone. Now they have raised the price on everything. $20 for a pair of used jeans, $10 for a backpack that they are selling for new at walmart. I can say I will no longer be shopping here.

this place is amazing! If you cant find what you need on one visit, come back and it might just be there then. The staff is very helpful and are happy to help. I really enjoy going here and I generally dont like to shop.
