The Resource Exchange

I stopped by 3 different salvage warehouses this past Sunday in search of some cheap wood with which to build some diy pieces. The resource exchange was the only one that had what I was looking for. They have a random assortment of really cheap wood, some nicer wood and scraps whereas many of the other salvage places have high quality reclaimed wood going for about $ 7/​Sq ft. I came out of the resource exchange with about 12 Sq ft for $ 4 of a mid grade wood which is $ 0.33/Sq ft. I could have just gotten scraps and spent about $ 2 total but they had a nice matching set of interlocking hardwood.
My fiancé came away with some nice glass bottles for about $ 1 each which wasn’t bad either.
My only gripe was that my particular pieces were not priced so I had to take them to the register where they ended up coming up with the price on the spot. All in all though the staff were friendly and they had a decent assortment of things. I would definitely come back if I’m looking for scrap wood and other small items.

This is a really cool place! So many odds and ends and great finds. They just about enough of everything crafty you can think of in addition to the picture frames, dishes, handles and knobs and office supplies. My small complaint was there was no reception at the door or anywhere in the store. (I’m someone who very much appreciates great customer service which includes greeting a customer.) But, I’d go back… saw a few things I may need.

This is a great place! They really have a bit of everything– art supplies (paint, glass, drawing materials, etc) as well as picture frames, wood, some furniture etc. They also have some really unique finds– old art slides, metal etc. Great for the DIY person.
Easy to park and the staff is super friendly. Will be heading back after my current project.

This place is really all that the other reviews say it is. A home renovators, artists and crafters delight. It’s pretty cavernous so give yourself some time to explore. The staff is friendly and helpful.
I took a friend here and her head just about exploded. I think more trips are in our future for DIY crafty projects. I scored some ceramic tile to fix a patio table, a serving tray and a zipper (random but needed it for my daughters show and tell lol)
My only complaint was that it was cold in there. So my 2 cents is to dress warmly!

Definitely a cool place! has a mix of ready-​to-​go thrift shop goods as well as materials for the crafty/​handy hearted! Went in looking for a dinning table and the selection was pretty slim, but will definitely be back to scoop up some of those picture frames!

I love this store. If you are a crafty/D.I.Y. type, the Resource Exchange is your place. I have purchased the following in this second hand goods shop: curtain rods, pillow cases, yarn, knitting needles, books, terra cotta pots, cloth napkins and a hat. All items were either dead-​stock-​new or in excellent condition.
Parking is EXCELLENT wether you drive a car, motorcycle or scooter.
Staff at R.E. are friendly, helpful and well-​versed.
The store sometimes has crafting or art workshops. I plan to start attending those there.

Thrift store meets craft store meets estate sale. The Resource Exchange is a smörgåsbord of all your crafting, DIY, renovation and decorating needs. I went in today to pick up lattice for a project I am working on, and was completely awestruck at the amount of quality items they had, and their prices! I wandered around and took about 30 mental notes of things I will now shop here for: office supplies, tiles, fabric, yarn, curtains, artwork, so much stuff! They even have a «weird room» with random finds. This store is clean and well organized too. Definitely a place to check out! I see this store becoming very popular in the future.

The Resource Exchange reclaims materials from film and theatre sets, businesses, and individuals that would otherwise be sent to landfills. Much of their inventory in the middle of the store is dedicated to leftover office supplies, but they have small home furnishings such as lamps and frames, and an odd assortment of chairs. They have a fascinating amount of variety here, with the whole left side of the warehouse looking like it’s out of a museum collection, and the right side being filled with fabrics and yarns and one off items that you would probably not find anywhere else because they are antiquated or out of production, like custom doors and window panes.
Street parking nearby was quite easy and free. Staff was extremely helpful in completing my purchase. They are open Wednesday through Sunday and do take credit card. I like that this store has found a niche for holding onto useful things that otherwise would have been abandoned.
