Reviews of Urban Ore
Lotta Oldies lovin'
I went to this place after two years of dreaming about it. On visiting Urban Ore, you step back in time really. It's like playing one of those 2D Japanese video games like ChronoTrigger where you sift through the... um, crap that gets piled when lots of people live in one area for a few generations. Stuff like really, really old books, political campaign buttons, toilets and bathtubs, the odd bicycle frame, metal kitchen appliances, movie theater line barriers (what are they called?), random stuff, nice old tables... but you have to visit often or other smart people will pick out all the good items. I walked out empty-handed, but emotionally satisfied. I will be back! It's basically vintage craigslist--a ginormous garage sale--and only somewhat more dust-covered.

Great place to find a BBQ for $10
It's fun rummaging around through the crazy array of things found at Urban Ore. If you're looking for an old door to turn into a dining room table, a BBQ, a window with some stained glass...wood beams. Be sure to go on a sunny day.

Urban Ore - reuse it all!
Urban Ore is a reuse warehouse in Berkeley that has a bit of everything, Building supplies, such as windows, doors, counters, ovens, bathtubs, you name it. Also sundry household items, you can find some real gems. I highly recommend you spend some time in Urban Ore before buying something new - you might just find what you need. One person's trash is another's treasure!
