All the good adjectives to describe this place have been used. It is magical, awesome, incredible, and a must see. The quality of stuff here is amazing – ready to use. No cleaning or fixing needed. The diversity of items on display is amazing. Such variety. If you need parts for an old house or want to add character to anything or any place, you’ll find something here. It felt like being back in my dad’s or grampa’s garage/shop. It’s super well organized and the talent staff can help you with anything shop related and more. It’s just a great place to wander around and explore. A must see for sure.

This place is magical! I felt like I was transported into a Harry Potter world or some sort of whimsical wizard home. Whether you have something in mind for your home or you’re just wondering around; expect to enjoy the wonders this place has to offer. From old vintage machines, light fixtures, kitchen appliances or medical devices; this place will transport you into an enchanted world of randomness. Everything is so curated so beautifully! I’m so glad we stopped by after seeing it on our drive.

Unfortunately we did not feel welcomed here at all. When I went with my husband and two kids, (one of whom was in a stroller and the other whom we walked with yhe entire time) we were followed around the store and kept getting told things were dangerous as if our toddler was running around grabbing everything. Genuinely he was not, if he had been i wouldnt be writing this review. It became evident that children are not welcome in this store. It is perfectly fine to have adult only spaces in the world but they should be marketed as such, otherwise kids are allowed just like anyone else. At the end of our trip we inquired about a piece of hardware we were looking for (an old fireplace flue pull chain) and were basically met with "of course we wouldn't have that here!" Overall it was not a good experience because of the employee working, which was really too bad because the store itself is lovely. Tldr: If you want this store to be only for certain ages you should market it as such. Kids are allowed to exist in the world but apparently not at this store even if they're extremely well behaved.
