Back To School: Dorm and Apartment Décor

It's hard to believe, but back-to-school season is almost here. For many students, July and August signal that summer is coming to a close, and the school year is about to begin. Many local universities and colleges will welcome incoming freshman and returning classes, who will begin the task of settling into their dorm rooms or shared apartments. Furnishing and decorating a space on limited budgets is a big part of going back to school. This is exactly where ReStore can help!

Our two locations in Minneapolis and New Brighton have incredible prices on just about everything dorm and apartment dwellers might need for the upcoming year: tables, chairs, couches, end tables, coffee tables, lamps, mirrors, dressers, artwork, storage solutions, and much more.

When you shop at ReStore and purchase second-hand items, you're keeping those items out of landfills. Plus, all proceeds from ReStore help sponsor the building of five Habitat homes for the local community AND 

If you or someone you know will be shopping for home furnishings this fall, be sure to stop by ReStore! But before you do, make sure you sign up for Hot Deals emails or VIP texts to save even more.

ReStore is also a great place to get the tools and materials needed to complete your dorm or apartment space, including: paint and paint supplies, hand tools, light bulbs, nails and screws, floor mats, cleaning materials, and more.
