    "I love urban ore, but they need to be more careful when moving things. I purchased a table with only minor issues on the top and when they helped me carry it out to my car, the person helping carelessly put the table top down on a rough cart, creating multiple deep scratches that were about 5” across the grain. My car was only a few feet away so it didn’t even need to be put on the cart. I wish I didn’t ask for their help at all because it ruined the value of the item and I’m not sure if I would have bought it if it had that damage. The employees need to be trained on being more careful.
    I notice a lot of their furniture is also damaged from moving and they ask extremely high prices on it, as if it were new."

    "This place has really gone downhill in the 10 years I've been going there occasionally. Everything is so overpriced. For instance, there are some antique light posts outdoors. I asked a year ago and they wanted $2500 each. They need a lot of repairs, to be totally restored. It seemed like way too much. A year later, they are still sitting there rusting (in worse condition than before).
    Almost nothing outdoors is even priced. You have to ask and then you get the sense they are making up the pricing as they go.
    Inside, the smell of mold is so bad, it feels unhealthy to be there. That's okay, not much point in going back."

    "I love this place so much, not just for shopping and browsing and imagining what life would be like if i had those matching pedicure chairs in my home, but also I love donating items here, too! I help my clients declutter and purge excess from their lives and I love donating the stuff for them in ways we can all feel good about. And this is a really great and cool option for keeping it stuff outta corporate horribleness (looking at you, GW). The staff are great and sweet and helpful and one definitely gets a sense of “Berkeley Community” in this place. Special shout-out to Timmy at the Main Register, who made me feel like part of that community, remembering me the second time i came in and making me feel welcome! This place is a jewel and so are the staff!"
