It's really too messy and disorganized to find much here. Clothes just piled like garbage into bins. It is quite cheap though. I got some cheap pillows and blankets to use as stuffing in a pouf once. Also, you have to schedule an appointment several days ahead of time to donate, even when the workers are obviously not busy. Seems silly.

This place has a huge book selection, but it is much more quantity than quality. Still, one could find some treasures if you dig. I found a few good clothing items, but sizing was off. My reason for not giving this place 5 stars was that it is pretty disorganized and seems unclean; I get that it is a thrift store. If you have the time and energy to dig and don't mind a little mess, then this place is worth checking out. It's for a good cause!

I am giving the store a 2 star. My reason -the organization of the store items has become a consumer and safety nightmare. What does that mean. Items are not organized by size. Items have been dumped in piles. Hanging items are not an any particular order. Low hanging signs in the store is another problem. It doesn't have a path clear enough for wheelchairs, walkers, or strollers. I am sad to see this place like a hoarders home. Use to love this place.

Actually inexpensive thrift store prices and friendly employees: I always pop in here when Im nearby. The store always had so many cool things and a huge book collection! Not sure why so many people are giving low ratings due to the organization of the store. Its literally a thrift store lol. Every good thrift store Ive been to is chaotic, the "organized" ones are always overpriced. Definitely recommend checking this place out! Ive found some really cool things here.

I think I was luck and came on a day where most items were a dollar. I only thought these sort of thrift stored only exist on tiktok. I was pleasantly mistaken. Everything is fairly price, yet a bit disorganized. But that's ok considering the price. The workers are very friendly and fair. This is my favorite thrift spit in davis.

Hostile towards donor. They are always prepared to spit out "No illegal dumping"and will catch any instance to accuse you. They do not accept electronics because "We can not test it and may get sued if we sell malfunction electronics" Jeez who sues a thrift store?
