Della!! Della!! a lady so knowledgeable and kind. I came into Restore searching for an item that had been difficult to locate.

A unique gathering place for all people who advocate for their community and positive change.
Restore Oakland is a Non profit that "invests in our community-owned building that holds permanent spaces where local residents can gather to be their full authentic selves and deepen relationships." which is wonderful, but Google thinks this is a store front, and it is NOT a store, it's an office and not accessible…
Such a fun store to find random things for your home. Huge selections of doors, lights, furniture, etc. You can find the most random items you never know you needed for your home.

I bought the most beautiful sofa last week at an excellent price!!. Della and the others were so helpful and personable. I could tell that the people working felt content and fulfilled because they were generous with conversation and hands on assistance. The warehouse was clean and organized. There has been a completely different inventory every time I visit which shows that they are successful! I am so grateful to Della for a positive experience shopping!

It's not 'Re-Store' as in Re-Sale it's 'Restore' as in "Bring back to life"
Such amazing work happening here.
i am very dissatisfied with this place.
Mural worth making a trip for
