Habitat ReStore – Mesa

A good store for all things upcycled. It’s a hunt and pick place so bring your gloves and patience. Everyday the inventory changes depending on what gets donated. While doing a project I try to stop by here at least once a week. Upcycling is the wave of the future and also helps to save money.

Extensive and varied home remodeling parts can be found here. Think of it as a Home Depot thrift store. :) Some of their selection when I went included window blinds, random sinks, plant food, desks, and office chairs. They were offering a 50% off discount for goods bought today. I got a nice, comfortable and nearly new looking office chair for $ 10. Great deal!

There’s not many of these around so it’s such an adventure to explore these stores if you’re in any phase of remodeling or home improvements or put building a house from scratch.
They have window and door screens of any size, many types of doors, usually some granite counters, light fixtures, some furniture, headboards, decking material, computer cords of any sort the list just goes on and on so if you’re looking for that one thing check out this place first

**Oops I guess this location is closed, but they reopened it at a different spot in Mesa across from Mekong Plaza. that’s the location I wrote this review for**
You know you’re in Mesa when someone leaves their horse trailer in the parking lot with horses inside so they can go shopping! This place is HUGE and has a TON of furniture/​hardware/​scrap materials for sale. If you are looking for clothes, it has none. It has a few household wares, but not many.
The stand out items here were the light fixtures. They were all priced at about $ 20, which if you’ve ever shopped for new light fixtures, you know they usually range in the $ 100.00 to $ 6 BILLION price range (ok I’m exaggerating, but light fixtures are seriously a lot more expensive than you’d think).
Other standouts were a solid wood hutch and cabinet for $ 150.
They also have nails, tiles, bricks, garden fertilizer, bathroom vanities, you name it for sale on one side of the store.
Unfortunately for me, I was looking for a cheap nightstand for the guest bedroom and didn’t find one. They had a few for $ 40, but they were way too 80’s and ugly. I’ll be back when I’m doing home improvements.
