There's no better place to find absolutely everything. Low prices, great staff and it is an economic development project of apedf.org. I love this place.

Powerful!

One of a kind experience. A must visit, must donate, must volunteer, must get involved, must shop, must take social responsibility type of business. Powerful!

This Is My #1 Choice

This is my #1 choice of where to buy furniture (even if I don't "need" it.) The selection is great and the prices are phenomenal and the people are outstanding.

The Staff Is Friendly And Helpful.

I enjoy shopping at Uhuru. The staff is friendly and helpful. The prices are reasonable and the proceeds go to an excellent cause. Plus there is a wide variety of unique and charming used furniture. I recommend you shop Uhuru first!

The People Are Great

I have bought many furniture items from Uhuru. A group of friends and I visits the store almost every Friday afternoon before going to dinner. The people are great, helpful, funny. It's always a pleasure whether we buy something or not.

It Will Be A Spiritual Experience!

Uhuru Furniture & Collectibles is one of a few places left where your can find outstanding well-made gently used furniture for a great price. I have purchased everything from French himoges chinz to pottery barn rugs for a song. The staff is wonderful and the cause even more wonderful. Be sure to buy a vegan blackberry pie at their annual pie drive. It will be a spiritual experience!

With today's economy, you owe it to yourself to see what Uhuru is all about, save lots of money, and help humanity.

I Find Something Interesting

Almost everytime I stop by Uhuru I find something interesting to buy. Sometimes staff people are too busy to help me right away. I bought a large stuffed chair and ottoman at a great price which I enjoy every day.

Once I bought a platform bed and I didn't check it out very carefully. It worked for about one year and then fell apart. But for the price it was still a bargain.

I especially like the way in which knowledgable workers in the store put their heads together and decide on prices.

A serendipitous experience

Every time I come in I find a surprise and end up taking something home with me. Even when I do not find what I have come for it is always a serendipitous experience as the unexpected is always waiting for me.
