Meh. I preferred before they remodeled. I couldn't figure out their clothing/shoes categories. They had shoes in several different locations throughout the store and clothing was the same. There wasn't any discernable classification in these areas. Prices weren't out of line as others have mentioned.

Yesterday I had the most horrible experience with my 8 year old. The police officer that works there exceeded his authority and basically yelled and threaten me in front of my daughter to make us get out of there absolutely unfairly. We arrived 5 minutes before 3:00pm which is their closing time, I opened the door and the ladies at the front told me that they were closing, I told them that I had driven from far as we live in Cypress and asked if we could stroll really fast through the furniture to see if it was worth driving again next morning, that I wouldn’t take long nor buy anything at that moment. Lots of people were still checking out so they kindly said okay, so we went in walking really fast to the furniture area. After probably 30 seconds the police officer started to yell really loud “Hey Mam we are closed” several times, I turned and walked towards him explaining that I had been allowed to enter by the front ladies to check really fast but would be out in a minute… as I had explained my case I returned to look fast were I had left and at this point the guy started yelling at full power “We are close you have to leave, I am warning you” we turned again walking towards him and I repeated I had been given permission to be there and that there were still customers paying, it wasn’t even 3:00 yet. He kept on yelling over my words opening his arms walking towards us as indicating walk or I will move you, while yelling “We are closed you have to leave”. Loud enough as for this being a scene of me helplessly explaining, and saying you don’t have to be rude we were allowed in and him just displaying his excess of authority loudly enough for everyone at the store to stare silently wondering what was happening. As soon we were out my daughter broke in tears, which made me cry too. This is the kind of thing that makes me wonder… if this police officer treats like that a random mother in front of their child, what would he do if a teen was stealing from the store or if I had not complied with leaving? For the record we were sitting inside of our car calming down at 2:58pm and at that point customers were still inside finishing checking out. It would have been great that any of the ladies in the front would have step up and stop him from treating me like that as it was loud and clear what was going on and they new they had told me that I was welcome. They just stared. First experience of my child of why to be afraid of police officers instad of seeing them as someone to seek for help.

Good resale shop. Many wonderful items. However, I am stunned at the remodel of this store! It looks like Neiman Marcus. I thought profit went to charity, but evidently, they go to a fancy store. Too sad for the pediatric neurology charity they purportedly give money to.

Great place to shop, however I'm confused on who's setting prices? Some things were way overpriced while the things of value we're not priced as expected😑 I found some great deals and I recommend everyone trying this place out.

After the third markdown, it becomes the property of the shop. Way your options. I usually try to sell my items myself. If it is antiques, take them to an antique dealer direct. You will get less money, because a dealer has to make money, but it usually is a quick thing. As for clothes, it really isn't worth the effort unless it is something high end. As for real jewelry, possibly a pawn shop, but you will get less then worth. If all else fails, eBay or Craigslist type sale.
