5 stars for the helpful cashier, reasonable prices, wide variety of endless products and yet NOT too full to browse when others are around.
This is my new Go-To thrift store! I enjoyed every minute of the 60+ I was there.

Great store! I visit the store regularly for collectibles but today, 24th Sept, it felt different! The display of collectibles was rearranged and it looks wonderful. I congratulated the volunteer there and she said it was done by the manager for the day. Whoever you are, you did a great job!

I’ve probably visited every thrift store in the Lower Mainland and this is one of the great small local ones which benefits a good cause. All proceeds go to the Canadian Mental Health Association and the store is staffed by very kind and friendly volunteers. There is one large change room with two mirrors in the back corner. Beautiful selection of jewelry. I would say the only thing that could be improved is that the clothing is not sorted by size. They are separated by tops vs bottoms and men vs women but otherwise you have to dig! I guess that’s part of the fun! The prices are extremely reasonable and I came out with two dresses and a few tops for $20.

I love this little thrift store and that proceeds go towards serving those with mental health issues. The prices are cheaper than most other thrift stores. I felt bad for the cashier this morning as she was treated poorly by a customer complaining about the rise in prices. The customer complained that she had to pay $8 for shoes instead of four and demanded to speak with the manager. The employee was professional and courteous. Keep doing a great job Treasure Chest. I’m glad you are still in our community.

We love this place! Non pretentious. Almost every time we go here we find some kind of treasure. Whether it's a velvet cushion cover for $2 or a French boudoir light with milk glass & crystal droppings for $20. Musty and cheap and cheerful people Good cause for mental health charity non-profit and all

Got accused of stealing by the woman who works here, she did not bother to apologize afterward. I was in the area and trying to decide whether to go here or not because of other reviews referencing rude staff. This thrift store is small and does not carry a huge variety of items.

Have found a few great items here. I donate household items here frequently and they are always willing to accept donations and often express their thanks, not that it is needed. I disagree with Diane's review that they have a "greedy mentality" for wanting to try selling things online to raise more money. It's a charity, for goodness sake!! I say power to them for wanting to maximize their impact. I feel great knowing that my donations are going towards a very worthy cause.

I love this thrift store! The prices are amazing. The selection of books is great, with some selection of classic titles that are hard to find elsewhere. I even found vintage manga there on my last visit! There are a ton of useful household items as well at very reasonable prices. I picked up knitting needles for pennies on the dollar for what walmart charges and better quality. I don't have any complaints. The staff are really nice here too!
