Is terrible. Full of trash and junk, and old hotel furniture; nothing with charm. They are also very expensive, which I don't understand, it's a resale store. I go in every now and then, and they charge full price for really shoddy stuff. It doesn't give me any choice BUT to shop at big box. I live in Myrtle Beach, and our H.F.H. Is terrible.

But I have volunteered at Restore for 3 years. It is more fun than being a customer seeing all coming in. There are many Restores, etc. that run differently depending upon management. We rarely accept furniture, but others may. And we are grateful to Lowes and Ace for supplying us with so much that does fit for many who are after specific items. The 5 yr acceptance policy is based on toilets which the gov. won't let us sell and appliances which most want to be in working condition. All other items do not have a 5 year policy, again this probably depends upon store management. A few volunteers (me too) will flag antiques or creative possibilities. We do have many building items which are from a wide range of eras. I'd love to be part of the dismantling of the homes, too old to be of use to them. But these houses are a gold mine of history and we try to bring as much as possible into our store. If you do go, be patient and keep going. If you find something, buy it now. Good chance it won't be there tomorrow. Thanks for writing about us. Know this is an old thread. But I have volunteered at Restore for 3 years.
