Emmaus SLC - Knights Hill

Excellent for cheap furniture, often with a bit of character. I kitted out an unfurnished flat using emmaus. Upstairs they sell tableware and linen, cushions, and other household wares, also good when starting out.

Great charity shop and organisation with very friendly staff.

Always a great bargain, lovely staff

Made me pay for house clearance after my dad died even though they would sell items on. And workmen intensely rude made me very upset during an already traumatic time, made me pay full quoted price even though they did not complete quoted hours, and I was told on the phone by management that if job did not take full time I would only have to pay for hours worked. Was told on the day of the clearance that if I did not pay full price they would unload all items and leave them on the side of the road. Not at all what I expect from a charity. Horrendous

Great shop the only problem I have is the rudeness of the men they have standing at the door offering hand sanitizer, who frightened the living daylights out of my vulnerable client when she refused the hand sanitizer, ( she Had her own) he stood in front of her about an inch from her face and said she cannot enter.
I understand these guys that work here are also vulnerable, but please practice kindness rather than aggression when there is absolutely no need for it.

Great bargain! Best place to buy second hand stuff!!

Lovely staff.

Emaus is really a great place for recycling and reuse, and an amazing institution. They stock most household stuff big (tables, sofas, beds) and small (cups, plates, cutlery) plus loads and loads of general stuff.

Prices are really good, quality is of course variable, but I have found lots of good things there. It is a great place to check out before you go to Ikea and buy a load more mass-produced stuff.

It is an international chain, and works with the community, including employing vulnerable people and people with special needs, so when you go it isn't like going to Sofa Warehouse, but for me this is also a plus.
