They support criminals

by daydreams130

Uh, just so you people know, if you care, the owners of this place are part of the Uhuru radical movement. The money they make may go to a good cause, but the people themselves are not good people. They believe they shouldn't be held to the laws of society, and actually celebrated the criminals that shot police officers in this city. Not just saying this, look it up.

Best Used Furniture Around!

by sarahbaba

This store rocks! I love going in here every week and just browsing. Right now they are have a huge sale and it is great. I just found out that everything that they get is donated to them and that is why they always have a changing variety of furniture! Yeah, the furniture is donated to them and they raise money for this nonprofit (which I found online when I looked up Uhuru Furniture in Google-African People's Education & Defense Fund). Basically, this place has great buys and in a sinking economy, you can still feel good about shopping there.

Good and bad donating experience

by profviolet

Noble concept, worthy cause: good. Asked for photos of the furniture I wished to donate: good idea. Many hours after I sent the photos, they called me and said the pieces were good but they had no truck available for the day I needed it (contrary to what I was told initially): bad. Called me next day and said that a truck was available after all: great! Movers came earlier than expected: OK. One mover insisted on talking on his cell phone while lifting my queen size sofa bed over my marble dining table: BEYOND THE PALE! This man took risky behavior while talking on a cell phone to a new and bizarre level. Fortunately, nothing was damaged but this certainly does not inspire confidence.

• Pros: Charitable concept: good for donor, good for customer, good for charity.
• Cons: Incomprehensibly reckless mover
