Habitat Oakland ReStore Waterford

I used to come here all the time and went recently to look for rugs to use for my wedding. I asked for assistance with two rugs that weren't priced. The staff member came and told me that she would take $100 for the rugs. $100 for two rugs that were stained and old with ripped edging that were donated to you? Absolutely not. She told me that she could get way more than that for them both. I declined, saying that was absurd pricing and turned to leave the store. She called after me to state that the rugs did in fact have pricing on them, while pointing to wet ink and holding an open Sharpie. Ma'am, you should be ashamed of yourself. I won't be coming back here or donating anything again in the future.

My daughter was looking for an antique dresser and not only did they have exactly what she wanted but they were kind enough to help us load it in the car and pointed something out that could have damaged the floors if left as is. They are doing excellent work in the community please consider supporting v their mission!

Great place, I tell people all the time about the habitat for humanity. I think they should push more advertising on what they have and sell. I don't think people realize what they're selling. I think people think it's like the Salvation Army, clothes and stuff like that. No, the Habitat has building materials like tiles, doors, windows, all kinds of lights, chandeliers, lamps, even commercial parking lot lights, kitchen cabinets, knobs new and used, faucets, sinks, showers, hoses, nick knacks. Whatever you can think of it's there they have it. They have new stuff also that companies like Home Depot, Lowe's Menards and also smaller companies that donate new items and items that are open box. All I could say is, if you go there once you'll keep going back all the time. And they get new stuff every day.

I was at the store today for the first time in 3 months and I couldn’t believe the changes! The new manager(Felicia I think) and her staff have done an amazing job reorganizing and cleaning the store. It was a pleasure to walk in and be able to walk around, look and not feel crowded or stressed. I had interaction with 5 staff members in under 15 minutes and all were friendly, personable, knowledgeable and willing to help find answers. The positive changes and vibes go a long way!! I will definately be back.😊
