Love the store, Love the owner!
I avoided Houseworks based on some previous bad reviews I had read (specifically on this site) for quite a while until I finally decided to try it out 1st hand. WOW am I glad I did! As a person who frequents about a dozen thrift stores in...

RUDE owner ruins successful Iowa City business
I am so happy to hear that people are taking their consignments elsewhere. Sue can finally be happy alone in her well established successful business with no customers. There are two new thrift shops opening near Houseworks. One is on...

Terrible, Horrible, Awful, No Good Employees
I am a lover of thrift stores and since I worked in retail for many years I'm pretty sure I'm an easy customer. However, I was browsing Houseworks one day and my son's school nurse called to tell me he wasn't feeling well and needed to...

Swamped = Rude?
Called to ask if they had something, the rude male employee on the phone said they were swamped and I would have to come in to find out, I apologized..?, then he hung up on me.\r

Customer Appreciation Is A Must
I recently visited Houseworks with my husband and daughter and it was a horrible experience. They do have great items but that is thanks to the consigners not the staff. In fact a few items had come through the door as we were checking...

Saleswoman must moonlight as parochial school nun...
I'm new to Iowa City and stumbled upon Houseworks the other day. I was really excited, it looked fun. I was on my cell phone as I walked in, something I do rarely. I did not see any signs on the way in the door declaring the store a cell...

Nothing but good experiences.
I have been shopping and consigning at Houseworks for more than five years and the owner has been nothing but pleasant and cheerful to me. Her rules are not hard to follow and it is completely up to her to refuse to serve people who...

Well, it's no Von Maur....
I have shopped at Houseworks since the very beginning. It has grown and changed over time and I will say, Sue has gotten grouchy these last couple years- BUT I can't imagine the crap she puts up with non-stop. Maybe a vacation would be...

Rude staffs and owner
Rude staffs and owner. Do not respect customers. Bad experience being treated badly there, no matter how often and how much money you spend on this store.

Owner is RUDE
The old lady that runs the place has completely ruined houseworks for me. I have been going there for 11 years and I finally called it quits after the final time she was rude to me. I have put up with her BS for years. \r

Houseworks Female Owner STEALS~~
It is the third time that the nasty owner of this shop charged my things without giving some of them back to me. I firmly believe that she is doing it on purpose. \r

I love Houseworks!
Great store! They are very clear on what they take and why they reject things. I have been doing business with Houseworks for years, and don't plan on stopping.

Good store - Rude owner
I'm glad the owner's friends were nice enough to write positive reviews for her, but the truth is that on many occasions I've heard Sue be rude and abrasive to customers. At times I've gotten the impression that she views customers as an...

Dishonest business
Consignors should know that the Houseworks staff might take their items, say they will sell them, but later change their minds and throw things in the trash. Also, merchandise that has been reduced to half-price is supposed to stay on the...

RUDE RUDE RUDE RUDE OWNER
The rudeness of this owner lady (sue) fully out weighs my chances of ever returning to this joint. Iowa City is lucky they have more than one consignment shop. I never experience over the top rudeness at the other shops.
