I didn’t find what I was looking for but they had so many awesome things and the staff was friendly. If I owned a house, this would definitely be a place I would be handing my paycheck to often. Also, don’t forget to look up! They have tons of lighting hanging above.

Highly recommend this place! Helpful, friendly employees and an incredible selection of really unique and special materials.I was looking for wood to make a new fireplace mantel, and a friend recommended Earthwise, so my husband and I decided to check it out. When we described what we were looking for to an employee, he immediately showed us a bunch of great options. We ended up settling on a large piece of mahogany that had washed up on the Washington coast. They cut it to size for us, and we brought it home, sanded and finished it. Im thrilled with the result, and love that theres a unique story behind my new mantel. Ill definitely be back for materials for future home projects.

First time visitor, was surprised to stumble upon this place as I had never heard of it. Great selection of vintage leaning towards antique lighting, furniture hardware & salvaged wood in many forms (columns, archways, trim). They also had all the randomness of a Habitat for Humanity but with a flair for the nostalgic. Adorned with antique heavy machinery and a modern mill for custom cuts its a great place to search for a unique piece to integrate in a custom home or just stop by to look at some history.

Cool stuff for your yard collection or for art. I found this tall ladder so I can grow my kiwi vines on it.

Always a fun place to go! Today there were sections of bowling alley lanes to be used as countertops, huge light fixtures from a church, double doors from a movie theater, movie theater seats, beautiful doors, which is what we went for. Sometimes we go with a project in mind, sometimes we go and make up a project that will fit the treasure we find. Very knowledgeable people that work there, easy backup and loads your truck access. Much better prices than salvage in most other places.

If its out of an old structure they probably got one here! Its an amazing treasure trove of all things reclaimed. From doorknobs to celling lights to the planters outside they got it and its probably for sale. If you have an old home or a kitchy DIY project this is absolutely the place to be!

This is a gem of a place if you love a treasure hunt for material that can come to life in all sorts of ways! I love coming here often just to look around and get inspired and maybe to see what catches my eye! There are endless amount of project ideas and as an artist its amazing what I can find. Its an adventure every single time and I find the staff extremely helpful, friendly, and accommodating. I have never had any problems and I am a regular since I live in the neighborhood!

Got off work with $500 in my pocket… I knew exactly what I was heading for and there was still 15 minutes until closing… But the employees close the doors locked the gates and they were in their cars at 5:20...

Weve been shopping at Earthwise for over 8 years. We have purchased thousands of dollars from this place. Love the people - love the products. Today we went looking for an aluminum bar. Home Depot $48, Earthwise $11. Thanks!

They have the most amazing collection of architectural pieces. I think the site must have been a sawmill ages ago. They resaw salvaged timber and such. A delight for crafters and interior designers. Even whole kitchens in various styles.

Review №25

Staff was rude and unhelpful on the phone as I was trying to understand their curbside pickup policy. I kept getting talked over and staff told me hold on so they could talk. Was told I would still have to come in to tell them I was there as they may not be able to answer the phone (which kind of defeats the purpose of curbside pickup). Second Use is doing a much better job at taking Covid-19 precautions and communicating their policies to their customers. Ive had good experiences here in the past so was really shocked by my latest experience.

Earth wise was very helpful in helping us pick out double French doors for our greenhouse project. Helpful and personable. We also went to Earth wise in Tacoma on the same day and found a charming piece of furniture- used their hold process and it was ready waiting for us upon our arrival.

I like the salvage bit, lumber etc.... All that is fantastic, Ive been there 3-4 times and its the people who work there that are mostly the issue I asked for help and a couple of the guys straight up said they didnt want to help and walked away, and I went there sign was posted they were open it was 4 pm but the gates were all locked up...Anyway still good salvage so I put up with the service if you need help just go to Seattle location staff is better.

So the Wife and I went down there to check it out and spent more time and money than we had planned on. What a great place and the staff was outstanding. If you like making things out of reused stuff, than you need to check it out. Thank you to everyone at Earthwise SA, see you soon.

Incredible...My girlfriend and I discovered this place when she was looking for table legs for a project she is working on. We quickly discovered the places that will be getting much of our money. The staff was excellent and extremely friendly; very informative and helpful with creative suggestions.The wood!!! Holy crap!!! They mill their own wood here. Were freaking out about all the projects were gonna be able to do now!

Review №35

They have everything, all reusable, repurposable items for that building project you have been thinking about. Some old items, vintage, new and gently used and only a great ideas come from this place. Love it.

Mostly good stuff. Some junk. Large lot but someone still needs to clean up a little. Get the waste out of there. Found several nice pieces that will soon become a desk.

Wonderful place if your remodeling an old home, or just want to add some character to your oasis. Lots of reclaimed wood, sinks, tubs and toilets. Knobs, light fixtures, tile, anything for the home and some garden art. Also some funking odds and ins.

I went here to look for things to upcycle and decorate my house with. Unfortunately, anything that even looked slightly vintage was ridiculously priced regardless of which era it was from. The ladies who worked there were very nice. The low star rating is due to the crazy prices.

Reasonable prices on salvage materials, the staff are all friendly and helpful. Ive gotten some cool finds here, you can never tell what theyll have in stock.

Review №43

Some limited cool stuff but anything interesting is priced VERY optimistically. Salvaged lumber is around $1 a board foot less than new... or $1 more. Either way its no bargain. Some interesting cabinets and doors but the cool factor of finding a something cool and old to refinish dies when its priced close to new. Theres also an obvious misunderstanding about vintage/antique vs old and broken (Hint: one is worth more than new, one less!). Its a neat idea for a business but I dont know if I can take it seriously as a source for salvaged materials...

Great place to find typical and atypical building materials at a decent price. PLUS random cool stuff like theater seats or a dragon head faucet. Whats not to like?

If you are in the market for original one of a kind, antique doors, cabinets, this is the place! Great place to walk through and look at all.

Review №46

My husband and I always enjoy our visits here. Everytime is like the first time because you never know what youre going to find. When looking to build or make something for my house, I prefer to stop here first because everything is unique and has so much charm. In our last house, we were able to find enough for trim to do almost the whole house and closet wire shelves. A couple months ago, we purchased old growth raw timber planks with a cool back story and a live edge to use as shelving. This most recent visit, we were looking for a pantry door and stair railing supplies. While they had the items in stock, we didnt find the right look, but left with a utility sink for the garage and a display case for my sons Legos and plenty of ideas to come back for later.

Prices are much more reasonable than they used to be. Interesting things, a medium selection of used building supplies. Lots of toilets, clawfoot bathtubs, windows and doors.

I love this place! If youre looking to save money and like the idea of repurposed Hardware & Lumber this is the place to go. Dont be surprised if you find some antiques here. You name it theyve got it.

Review №50

I like this place a lot. Theres a small category of stuff in between total junk and way too expensive, but when you find something in that category, its pure gold. Also, they have things you simply cant find anywhere else, so it might save your bacon someday.

Review №60

Not sure if my expectations were unreasonable or not. I went in looking to buy a couple of used solid core doors to make workbenches with. After perusing what may have been hundreds of doors, I found a couple that were in okay condition that would fit my needs. Based on the prices of the majority of the doors I had found, I was expecting somewhere in the neighborhood of $15-30 each. So I went and asked the lady how much they wanted for them. Boy was I wrong. $60 bucks a piece. You can go buy a new, unbored slab (or a bored one, if that is what you want) for less than $50 at any major home center.Needless to say, I left empty-handed. I like the idea of what they do, but I cant and wont pay a premium for an inferior (used) product.
