"All employees were super busy with donations, but super helpful:)"

"Reasonable pricing on most items. The vintage stuff sometimes gets marked up way too high."

"Took a trunk And back seat full of stuff there. Tons of people out back smoking and having a good time. I greeted them with no response in return. Ask where they would like the stuff I was "donating" in reply, I got we are overwhelmed just give it to me. Wow. You are getting it for Free be more grateful. Without donations that are in fact being sold there. You wouldnt have a job! Never again!"

"This is the for the owner, Brenda or Trenda? She is a very rude lady with a nasty attitude. I asked very politely for a measuring tape as I was purchasing a piece of furniture. She gave me a dirty look and said she would help me as soon as she done with this another customer. I then watched her speak inappropriately in a very degrading manner to a older man who is in line front of me. Answering his questions in a very disrespectful way. I purchased my furniture and kept my interactions with her short. I left and callwd because i wanted to talk to a manager. Lo and behold Brenda said that she was the mananger. I told her that she is very rude and degrading and that I had a very poor experience in her store. I then hung up. SHE CALLED ME BACK and instead of apologizing she started justifying her actions and saying that she didn't think she was rude. I told her that she is an adult and needs to ownership of her actions. I am appalled by this whole interaction and will no longer be doing business with the Hope Chest. Please do better BRENDA/TRENDA."

"Loved coming here took 4-5 trips about a month ago but got everything I needed for my new apartment. Bobby was great helping us with the big items to be packed in our vehicle even though he was quite annoyed by us by the end of those two day's lol! Other staff was very nice and inviting but also probably annoyed by how many times we came there lol! Overall good experience and love our furniture and other items we purchased!"
