You may have noticed that there is not as much stuff being posted lately. We apologize. During the summer months the donated furniture and collectibles come off the truck and sell so quickly we barely have time to shoot pics and post them. This is particularly true with the "best" and hottest items.
We pick up donations almost every day of the week -- often with unloads twice a day. Please don't hesitate to come visit the shop early and often during the "high tide" of donations. Thanks again for your support for the African People's Education and Defense Fund!

"With a little perusing, this is a great place to find some decent quality, gently used furniture at a reasonable price. If you're lucky you might even be able to find some quality steals." -- Gary L.
"Used furniture and housewares in great condition arrive nearly everyday, and bargain hunters like myself buy the furniture like hot funnel cakes at a carnival!" -- Vera D.
"The staff is super friendly and I love that their stock is constantly changing. Sometimes that sucks, though, because I'll see something great and then before I can make up my mind about it it's gone. Sigh." -- Vandana M.
"Over the years my family has donated and shopped here. Some of the furnishing in my college apartment were selected from the hodge podge here. I really support the idea of recycling furniture." -- Nikki C.
"Uhuru reflects the history of Oakland in many ways - from furnishing of local styles to continuity with the Black Panthers 'do for yourself' program. One of the coolest spots in the Bay Area." -- Bill C.
"It's wonderful. I'm volunteering at Uhuru Furniture and ever since I came in the store and found out what Uhuru stands for and how it helps the community I was totally shocked. I found out about the program and I think it's great that the store and Uhuru House are doing so well. Thanks for letting me be a part of your program." -- Kandi G.
"The spirit moves in this community of activists. Donate everything -- your time, your money, your furniture." -- Sally M.
"Be sure to buy a vegan blackberry pie at their annual holiday pie drive. It will be a spiritual experience!" --Alexis M.
"I especially like the way in which knowledgeable workers in the store put their heads together and decide on prices." -- Judith S.
"I have bought many furniture items at Uhuru. My group of friends and I visit the store almost every Friday afternoon before going to dinner." -- Gabi B.
"We have procured some fine solid cherry wood pieces for bargain prices and are always on the lookout for more at this socially responsible establishment. We have also donated items we no longer wanted to bring it full circle." -- Tracy A.
"Way to recycle cool digs, Uhuru. Game on." -- Sam B.
"I can't see how you could not find something you need." -- Hallie R.
