The Closet 845 Station Street, Herndon, VA 20170

"I come back for the good prices, but also avoid the store for the chaos. Always full of moms who have their children running around misbehaving lol. The staff is hit or miss, some are sweet some are sour. One of the only reasonably priced thrift stores in the nova area!"

"i loved their selection of knick knacks actually!! their collection of vintage photos was a nice surprise :) and have a really nice selection of cds! clothes were kind of meh 8/10 and they don’t allow people to try them on, but have a 4 day return policy"

"I went to the Closet today haven’t been there in a very long time. The place looked very different and unorganized and dirty. I had someone show me a collectible from a locked case. I wanted to buy the lady said I can’t give to you to bring g to register I have to have an employee walk it the registers. This item was 8.00 dollars. There was another piece that I was going to get big when we opened the box it looked like mice droppings. The lady that wither there said we have had problems with mice in the backroom. Buyers beware they have mice problems at the Closet. As I was walking out I took pictures of the front windows, They all need some work, Why would two pieces of lingerie be in a front window during Christmas.,"

"Unlike for-profit thrift stores, The Closet returns the profits to low income individuals in need of warm clothes and household items. The Closet inspects merchandise to ensure it's clean and functional. I enjoy the sale immediately before Christmas as I can get items such as a scuba diving suit I couldn't otherwise afford. Volunteers are amazing, please keep the good work."

"I would strongly advise against anyone considering a visit to this thrift store, nor should you bother donating anything to them if you genuinely want to support your community, just join your local “Buy Nothing” group. My recent experience at this establishment left me utterly appalled, and I believe it's important to share my encounter to raise awareness about their ridiculous policies. This morning, after a pleasant trip to the farmers market, I thought I'd check out this thrift store since it was conveniently located within walking distance. Little did I know, my morning would take a sour turn at the store's entrance. I was met with a tired and moody staff member who snapped at me, "NO STROLLER." I was left utterly confused by this abrupt and unwelcoming remark. Mind you, my stroller was not even a large, cumbersome one; it was a Doona travel system. To my disbelief, I was told that if I folded it, I could carry it around like a carrier. I attempted to comply, feeling intimidated by the hostile atmosphere. However, it quickly became apparent that dragging my baby in his car seat around a dirty store was the last thing I needed, especially after a recent C-section. What struck me most was the store's complete lack of consideration for mothers, children, and individuals with disabilities. The place seemed far from child-friendly, mother-friendly, or handicap-accessible. If you're a parent, it appears they expect you to somehow manage without any assistance, even if you're recovering from a major surgery like a C-section. And as for individuals with disabilities, it's bewildering to imagine how they are expected to navigate the store without proper accommodations. It's evident to me that the owner and management of this place lack any understanding of the challenges faced by parents and individuals with disabilities. Their unwelcoming attitude and unreasonable policies have created an environment that is far from inclusive. Instead of subjecting yourself to such a negative experience, I encourage everyone to explore alternative ways to support their community, such as joining local "buy nothing" groups where kindness and inclusivity thrive. Let's choose to invest our time and resources in places that genuinely value and respect every member of our community."
