The Reuse People

During a couple home renovations, my husband and I frequented this place. We were unlucky to never have found anything we needed but it's fun to walk around, nonetheless.

They have cabinets, sinks, microwaves, Viking stoves, light fixtures, etc. and all at decent prices.

The place is very well organized & staff is friendly & helpful.

Alright cheap friends...yes, there are some deals if you hunt hard enough, and go often enough, but a lot of stuff is not well priced. They do have deals on toilets and sinks (soooooo much cheaper than Urban Ore) a bunch of doors and windows and wood. The guys who work here are mostly ok. Do not think you can bargain with them even though they are mostly making up prices on the spot. This place is definitely an 'I am trying to remodel my house on the cheap' place to shop.

Love this place. Unbelievable amounts of great stuff, good prices, and friendly knowledgeable people. What more could you ask for?

This place is right next door to the Habitat for Humanity Restore shop. Anyone who loves reusing household stuff is gonna be very pleased. They have tons of kitchen cabinets (whole sets), unique refrigerators (like the ones that look like cabinets), cooktops, huge quality gas stoves, lighting, mantles!, patio furniture, windows and doors...staff are really great (helpful and they seem to enjoy working there). I bought the perfect table for a narrow patio. Not necessarily a great bargain (though still reasonable) BUT if its perfect and it helps support the work they do, thats what its all about.

Great place to wander and wonder. Helps get you thinking about what could you build! Love the reuse factor.

This place was a GOLD MINE for supplies for our tiny house. Prices were less than at Urban Ore and the ReStore, which was located next door.

We got 2 8x5ft windows for $400. They have many, many doors and windows. They had bulk lumber out back, and good cabinetry, too. I will certainly be back.

Just across the way from Habitat for Humanity's restore. People will naturally compare the two which is probably why this place has higher ratings. They have a LOT of doors and windows here ... not nearly as much furniture, hardware and fixtures (as the HFH Restore).

I read a lot of DIY / reuse blogs which inspires me to do more and try to be more crafty. But when I actually got here and thought about the work needed to get a door home, sand it, refinish it and then install it - the thought of all that work overwhelms me.

It's sort of like when you get a crush on someone that's no good for you and have an entire relationship with them in your head and decide after 5 minutes it's a bad idea.

love these guys!
used lumber and bath tubs. very cool

Lots of doors, cabinets, sinks, etc. It's very well organized, but packed kind of tight. You have to know exactly what you're looking for cuz you're not getting much help. It's right next to St Vincent DePaul thrift store and Habitat for Humanity. Don't bother looking for Industrial St, as shown on the map. It doesn't exist. One other thing, the address is wrong. It's 9235 San Leandro STREET near the Coliseum. It turns into a Boulevard in San Leandro (according to Waze anyways...)

Are brand new doors $500? It seemed like their prices were not a bargain.

This place is great. It's one my my three salvage stops I make when I'm in town hunting for new design items. It's the cheapest place around. Totally worth a stop!
