Editorial Review for Uhuru Furniture & Collectibles – by Lauren McCutcheon
In Short
It's easy to mistake this second-hand furnishings store for just another thrift shop. The sidewalk is crowded with filing cabinets, TV tables and worn dining-room sets; inside, velvet couches share space with blond-oak dressers and bookshelves piled with mismatched place settings. The well-priced wares move fast, especially during move-in and move-out days at nearby colleges, and proceeds go to the African People's Education and Defense Fund, an organization charged with improving African-American communities.

I was looking for a way to deal with all my furniture when I moved back to the West Coast, and I am so glad I found Uhuru! I called and they were able to come out a few days later which was totally amazing. The movers were really nice, they came inside and picked up my stuff, even carried stuff down the stairs! these guys were better movers than the moving company I paid to bring my stuff in here! I had a very positive experience working with Uhuru. I have been to the store too, and it is so small I can see why they have to be somewhat selective, it makes it great on the shopping end. The stuff they sell is great and the prices are awesome. I was also really happy to donate my furniture to support the cause of education and economic justice for the African community and the programs they are supporting, as opposed to having it go into a land fill and damage to the environment. I totally recommend this organization!
Pros: supports a good cause, lively and interesting ambience, great music, every time I shop there's new stuff
Cons: it is hard to find parking

you donate furniture that is perfectly good condition, but they are very selective in picking furniture. The movers who came to pick it up were rude.
