Thrift Stores with Furniture Sections in Ames, IA

3 of the 7 thrift stores we list in Ames have a dedicated furniture section.

Google Maps has no category for a thrift store's furniture section — it's just a generic thrift listing, and donated inventory turns over so fast that even recent Yelp photos are already stale. Every store flagged here has a furniture or housewares section confirmed on the store's own website, not guessed from a review photo.

Go early and bring a truck or a tape measure. Furniture donations at busy chains like Goodwill and Salvation Army often get picked over within hours of hitting the floor, and most stores won't hold a piece without a deposit — call the specific location the morning you plan to go and ask what came in that week. Habitat for Humanity ReStores usually have the deepest furniture selection, since furniture and building materials are their main donation category rather than an overflow corner.

Good to know

Do thrift stores sell furniture?

Most general thrift stores — Goodwill, Salvation Army, Savers — carry some furniture, but selection depends entirely on that week's donations. Habitat for Humanity ReStores and dedicated furniture thrift shops are more reliable, since furniture is their primary donation category rather than an overflow section.

How much does furniture cost at a thrift store?

Dressers and end tables typically run $15-60, sofas $50-200, and dining sets $75-250 depending on condition and the store's pricing tier. Habitat ReStores and independent thrift shops usually price lower than mall-adjacent Goodwill locations, and prices drop further during the weekly color-tag sales many chains run.
