“I enjoy browsing in a thrift store, and this one in Lower Hutt was fantastic. There was a lot of variety that was well-arranged and tidy. For $1.00, I found a container with handles that I intended to plant flowers in, as well as some soft toys for my dogs to play with. Overall, this op shop usually has an excellent selection of things.”
“A popular site to buy used stuff. The shop is always fairly busy. To donate items, place them inside huge containers that are clearly labelled. I painstakingly placed them in these baskets, but the personnel at this Salvation Army are always pretty harsh about my item placement, remarking today about two wedding items, that’s not “other,” it’s “brick-a-brack,” then proceeded to read the labels to me. Meanwhile, two people unloaded their boxes and drove away.”

“When I walked inside this business, I sensed a refreshing difference; it was vastly different than before. Everything was professionally arranged, with inexpensive costs and a wide variety of things. The personnel was also quite friendly, making this one of the few truly great op shops around Lower Hutt.”
“Good store, beautifully laid out and not cramped in like other op shops I’ve visited. A good selection of apparel at a reasonable price. I didn’t locate what I was looking for, but I did get a few good deals for my family.”

“Well, I went on a 50% off clothing and shoes day, which was a bonus. Clothes without tags are normally $6, which is more expensive than other op shops around.”
“Lovely tiny op shop selling clothes, furniture, and other home stuff. Sometimes you can get a nice deal, but the days of dirt-cheap things are long gone. “
