They have lots of items at this store. First time ever coming here and I left the store knowing I would go back. Theyre main items have to do with home improvement. From lighting to laminate flooring. They do have other things here, but its too random to explain. Theyre prices arent super low, but they are decent for what youre buying. From what I saw the prices were worth what you were getting. I would definitely recommend this store.

Everything is priced so high know... All of this was given to you for free and you almost ask for store prices as if it new..

Wowza the prices here are unbelievably high! I used to go here to save money and support a good cause, but now I can’t even afford it! In almost every case the used price is the same as retail. It’s hard knowing that people struggling with money used to be able to come here and get what they needed for a reduced price, but not anymore. I hope management changes some things. :(

Habitat Restore should be the first place you look for misc. home supplies. This location is well stocked and friendly. Random good deals too!

I am very familiar with second hand stores especially house home needs, it just wasnt 50% discount items, but i found a few treasures.

Lots of cabinets to choose from. A good amount of random window sizes. I wish there was a better door selection. But they have a bit.of everything. Sinks, some tubs, even some restaurant equipment, and tools. They also have an assortment of used furniture.Its also a great place to donate materials instead of just throwing them away. Theyll even pickup from your home so you dont have to cart everything out there.I definitely recommend checking it out if youre working on a budget, or just want to participate in up-cycling rather than buying new.And I encourage you to Donate! Donate! Donate!

Some of the items are priced pretty high but I can usually find a deal on something. Never know what your going to find when you walk through the door. Items are moving fast right now so dont wait to buy if theres something youre interested in.

Definitely the nicest Restore in the area. Huge selection and reasonable prices on home improvement stuff. Ive bought a dresser and a few light fixtures from here and had no issues with any of them. Absolutely love them.

Its a huge store with a very eclectic revolving inventory. If you are looking for something unique and hard to find this place may have it. They keep adding new stuff to the floor constantly and offer just about everything. For the rehabber or the person trying to find that piece to fit their house this store may have it. Everything from lighting to plumbing to old doors and fixtures

Very very large Habitat compared to one back home. Decent variety of items. Some a bit pricey but money goes towards a good cause so I get why. Definitely place to check out for kitchen cabinets and artwork. Selection is great for those.

There was no real discount for the laminate flooring. $28.00 a box for Home Decor brand but overall its a good place to shop for contractors and D.I.Y projects

I stop into Restore/Tosa every so often and usually find some good treasures. However today the guy checking us out, Alex, inflated the prices on a few items and overcharged me. I didn’t notice until we got home. This isn’t the first time the same guy did this, I should’ve been watching more closely. Although it’s only a few bucks and it’s a donation, I’d rather decide to make a donation on my own.

Review №23

Out of this world pricing! I truly can’t believe how much everything has raised in price in these stores. This store specifically has nearly retail, or over retail pricing on older 1990s furniture that you should be able to afford as a low income family. I’m utterly shocked at how much money they are trying to make on items that were donated to help support families in need, especially during the times right now with coronavirus. I will post photos of a few of the things I’ve seen, but please let it be known that there needs to be Positive change in the pricing so that families can start to afford things, and project Maker’s have a great place for odds and ends that is not the equivalent to a used Home Depot. I hope this reaches somebody who cares, and helps somebody before they go to the stores.

I thought this was a place to save money! I recently went to this location hoping to save some money for a remodeling project I’m working on however there was no way I was going to save money here. They said that their donation quality has gone up so they have to charge more, really? It’s a donation! People give this store things thinking they’re going to help people save money but this store wants to put profit above people. Looking around the store I can’t agree that their quality has gone up. Anything I was going to buy I would have to repair or resurface myself. Hopefully this store changes the way their doing business soon. I’m not going to pay you more money because you slap a treasure picker sticker on something. I’ll pop in here again in a few months and see if something changed. I hope it does because I loved this store when they first opened.

If you like to build your own stuff from flea market finds, you cannot beat this place. The prices are great, but dont expect to find many treasures, unless you want to do some work or repairs. We spent $76 and were happy with the take, including a vintage secretarys desk.

Its good to support such a worthwhile non profit. You can get so many architectural and household items at a good price while keeping them from being put in a landfill. If you need anything for your house or rental property go here first.

I thought it was me. . . but its good to know that others have also (recently) visited this restore and felt that the prices were ridiculously high. I brought a few items last week and was disappointed later when I found newer, cleaner, unboxed items at another store for a way cheaper price! I found brand new and cheaper items at home depot, and online the same day. Its disappointing when you remind yourself why this store is supposedly in existence. . .

The Heart of it is the Joy and Love that are shown by Volunteers and Team members.Art, building materials, a dreamers paradise, and a wheeling n dealing of a price.I like to visit here just to remember there are so many people doing so many good things to help.Now by encouraging you to go;I have no fear that the flowof great items looking for right homes. Will surely never slow.So please know:Give the gift of giving and Restore your Habitat this new year with Joyful Singing and recycled remodeling. That way the New Year will surely Ring!

I see no possible way to drop off donations today. There is a huge sign and an arrow, but the driveway is blocked with cones, theres a truck loading, a restore truck parked, people walking all about, and no parking available on the street. Ill take it to a different one I suppose.

Most of the customers service are friendly and helpful accept the chubby guy. Asked him only the price tag of a table because hidden inside the drawer and couldn’t find it. I asked him politely and told the table was over there. His rudeness gesture started popping up and keep repeating over there, over there....! In term of questions or communications, make sure you avoid this guy.

Update your employees on the mask mandate! They are kicking people out of the store for not wearing masks even if they have a health exemption. Get ready for a lawsuit.

A huge resource of recycled materials for building. Great if you are building to save money or have an old school feel. They have recycled paint, cabinets, lighting fixtures, sinks, and appliances. Hardware is at a price that cant be beat. There is also sometimes recycled hardwood. If youre a builder, it is worth a visit.

I love this store, and I love its mission. Ive taken a lot of stuff here from my basement, I do my best to sort out only the things that are actually useful for somebody; but I take stuff here thats a little to industrial for Goodwill. Also, I have made it a habit to do a scouting run here whenever I have to do a project around my house. *Sometimes* they have just what I need, and sometimes they dont, but its always worth a look.

Great store to purchase home building materials. They items are removed from buildings that are being remodeled that are in good condition or old store displays. A friend who needed a sliding door and got a very nice one for a fraction of the cost of a new one it is a very nice Pella sliding door.

Im not from the area, but stopped in. Better stocked than the one in my town. Complete kitchen cabinet sets from homes available with pictures of what they looked like installed as a set. Restaurant furniture. Some retail furniture. Great variety, especially of older plumbing fixtures if you need to replace a faucet.

A great place to find a deal on furniture, items for upcycling. or building materials and contribute to the Habitat for humanity cause at the same time. Win-win! If you are remodeling a kitchen, they even have a trained crew to come remove your old cabinets (in good shape) for reuse.

If you ever need anything for a home project, this is the place to go. Selection ranges from high quality antique pieces to modern styles in good condition. Furniture selection can be good as well. I always come here before anywhere else.

By far the most expensive ReStore in the area. Makes no sense! They have some LVT flooring for $1/sf more than you can buy it brand new... downtown is the cheapest, Waukesha is middle, this one is ripping you off. Dear management, don’t forget you’re selling used stuff you got for free

Prices are kind of high the items that you get summer fair and some of them are but you got to find what youre looking for thats really interesting going through the place they got so much in there its really good place to be need something for remodeling something to fix your house up with I usually got it and theyre willing to help you out with you and to drive some prices down for you to so all in all its a good place to be no air conditioning

If youre into recycling this is the place to go for good quality at great prices. The store in Wauwatosa is huge compared to other locations. Cant count on getting what you need, but the hunt can be half as much fun as the acquisition. And the money goes to a great cause.

Parking is tight and limited. They say, one mans trash is anothers treasure, but at this location its mostly just trash. Anything of value is priced so that you might as well purchase the item new.

Best place to find anything for renovations on a budget. Inventory does change regularly. If you find a deal, jump on it. Come back and check regularly if you dont find it the first time. Price points are fair and sometimes you can make a deal. Good luck!

My daughter and I went to the restore the other day and were shocked at the escalation in pricing; some items have been increased 300% or more. For example, last year all small old windows (not special windows) were $5. This year they are all $15.-$45. The furniture that is donated to help people in need, while supporting Habitat For Humanity is priced so ridiculously high now that only people with extra cash can afford to purchase. This restore is no longer for the needy and we will no longer donate or shop there.

Visited the Restore place on Burleigh, which has some good sales going on right now and a couple shelves of brand new heavy-duty pots and pans at real good prices. They usually have a number of creative choices for sale that are examples of using recycled materials to make new, exciting products that are fun and creative.

This place is AMAZING! My husband and I re-tiled our shower area for a fraction of the price because of all the brand new tile and accent pieces we were able to find at Restore. The store is huge and well organized, granted you may need to dig around to find some good deals, but that is part of the fun and allure for us. I have recommended the Restore to friends and family, and would highly recommend it to anybody doing any kind of home renovation or remodelling!

Prices are way to high, if you lower your prices more sales will occur resulting in more floor space to bring in new old stock. Making it a win win, for both you and us. This concept is called a no brainer
