Bathroom is better here! No odors! A lot of variety here for everyone from kitchen stuff, bedding, bathroom decor, clothing, light fixtures, picture frames, wall art, shoes, chairs and much more.
Lots of books to choose from. The book selection was the better area since the music wasn’t blasting back there. The music was absurdly loud, and not very good music either. -
Have been there twice and love the place. Enough room between the aisle and things are organized by color and type. Also, great selection of goods and they change up the stuff regularly! Will be back soon -
This used to be my favorite thrift, but it feels like it's not worth looking through the racks now. They've opted to mix all the mens' and womens' clothes together, which -- especially combined with organizing by color rather than size, and how thrift stores just naturally tend to have more womens' clothes -- makes it difficult to find mens' clothes in the correct size. It also feels like the prices on housewares have gone up a bit. Still pretty decent prices on housewares and fantastic prices on furniture, and a great, well-organized book section, but if you wear mens' clothes, going through the racks is going to a massive time waster now. -
I absolutely love this thrift store in Durham! It’s a hidden gem filled with unique finds, creative supplies, and all kinds of treasures you just can’t get anywhere else. The store is organized in a way that makes browsing fun, and every visit feels like an adventure. The prices are super reasonable, and the staff is always kind, welcoming, and helpful. Whether you’re into crafting, upcycling, or just love hunting for one-of-a-kind items, this is the place to go. -
Huge thrift store with a variety of items. The books section alone is worth the visit, and they are organized by genre so it’s easy to browse through. They have a clean bathroom and weren’t too busy when I went. Definitely my favorite thrift store in Durham.
