Big Reuse Queens

Great source of reclaimed raw building materials. Might have to do a little hunting to get the best pieces.

It sounds great when you first hear about it and it is in a great location, but the moment you step in you are on your own, the few employees walking around give you wrong information and quotes. Most of the items are way too over price. Looking for a place exactly like this, but I will hardly come back. Too sad.

Only shop here if you have an Imagination & don't mind weekend projects cuz there are tons of Treasures jst waiting to be discovered! Yes there are plenty items that are in perfect condition, it's just there are many people that wont know what to do with an Item unless they see it displayed in Catalog or copy how a store has it set-up!

My only complaint is that there is so much stuff I just wished it was better organized cuz some areas are stacked upto the Ceiling, so it's easy to miss things! I also wish that they would place lil tags on the items that described features, benefits & measurements, but hey if ur on a budget this place is worth a look cuz the savings are Amazing!
I suggest Visiting both Queens & BK store cuz not everything is on their website.

RECLAIMED, by definition, means nature friendly AND COST EFFECTIVE.
All their items are being donated from environment activist and charity givers.
Their business name Build it GREEN seems to flagrantly contradict with their prices:

Nakashima Inspired Table and Bench by Ian Ingersoll $5000!
Square Shademaker Astral Umbrella $1500
Chaise Lounge Outdoor Sun Lounger $900
Wolf 24" Countertop Microwave [USED] $440

Are you kidding me? the list goes on and on.. It's on their website! Go and see for yourself..
I wonder if those positive 5 star reviews were left by the Staff who work there. It's quite funny indeed.

my beau and i found this place just before a move. a dream come true! we could purchase salvaged materials to build new shelves and add to our furniture collection. one of the store employees helped with our selection of wood for shelving and offered to cut it to our specifications for a negligible fee.

alas, when we arrived home, ready to put said same wood on the wall, we discovered a couple extra cuts we definitely did not request. two of the pieces had been cut down the middle about 3/4 of the way through! of course those pieces are unusable now as they will not support the books we planned to put on them. i hope that employee remained blissfully unaware of his mistake - i hope he didn't sell us damaged wood on purpose.

apart from that unfortunate finding, our experience was wonderful and we would certainly return for other items... we would just be very careful to re-inspect them before purchase!
