I really enjoyed browsing the different rooms . They all were arranged nicely ... some nicer than others. Overall, the prices were reasonable. The staff was warm and welcoming. Even though I didn't buy anything on my very first visit here , I plan to come back soon to browse some more.

My husband and I stumbled upon this place as we were walking out of Big Lots. It's Sunday and we…read moredon't have much to do so we decided to venture into this store. The assistant manager immediately warmly greeted us and gave us some direction in regards to the different sections of the store. She also gave us a card that is stamped each time you make a purchase. After ten stamps, you get $50 off your purchase. As we walked through the store, we saw many interesting items, from furniture to jewelry to real fur coats. There was an African section and we knew right away that we'd be purchasing something from this section. We decided on an African djembe that was the painted with bright colors. It's going to look great in our living room. At check out, they request to see your driver's license if you're paying with a card, which is something I like. I definitely see myself coming back to this store. You should check it out!

I've heard of the Brass Bear when I've been to a few estate sales. So when I looked over while…read moredriving by and saw it, I figured I'd check it out. Kind of a mistake. It's a pretty big store, and there is a lot to see. I'm sure there are many fabulous items, but it's not really a place to "stop in and check it out." I think you have to both be in the mood/frame-of-mind to really look at everything and have the time to do it. You could very easily spend all day there. "Just browsing" isn't going to cut it. That said, I had neither the time nor the inclination to spend the time to really give it a good shopping. Instead I found it overwhelming, so I just politely walked most of the aisles only looking at the things that really jumped out at me. Because it was a Saturday, there seemed to be a number of vendors there, so I'm sure there are some interesting stories to be told, and they could surely help if you're searching from something specific.

The Brass Bear has been around for a while and it's still one of the best antique malls regarding…read moreservice and helpfulness to customers. I asked one gentleman at the cashier's desk if he thought a Vendor would be willing to negotiate over price of a specific piece of furniture and he quickly responded, 'Let's give him a call right now.' And sure enough, the Vendor did in fact work with me on the price and I went home with a chair I really wanted. Actually, there is a little bit of everything that collectors hope to see at the Brass Bear at reasonable prices. In addition, parking is free and convenient at the front of the store. Stop by one day when you have a free hour to treat yourself.

My family was racially profiled here. Me and my 3 year old were walking around the store while my…read morehusband parted ways to look around. An elderly woman greeted me and my 3 year old with kindness and complimented us. We continued to browse while my husband overheard the woman telling the elderly man I'm assuming her husband to keep an eye on us. Being the only brown people in the store one can only assume it's for that reason. If you are a minority I do not recommend this place. Knowing the antique community is very small and not kindly to minorities. There are far better places that won't profile you in the Birmingham area

I phoned and spoke with the owner, and was informed she still had it, and - not requiring card payment over the phone, she decided to hold it for a couple of days until I was free and my wife and I could drive 200 miles to her shop on a Saturday. We arrived, paid her, and while there I saw and purchased a beautiful, quality onyx lamp my wife fell in love with. What great finds. The owner is very gracious and just a knowledgeable and lovely person. It has been over a year now and We are still pleased. I will recommend her to anyone. Do yourself - stop in and look at the good, quality items at reasonable prices. Hon. K.H.Goss

I didn't have a lot going on one day, so I stopped in on a whim. Just so happened to pick a day…read morethey were having an open house and sale, so booths had sales ranging from 10-75% off. There were also refreshments, and they had a drawing for a gift card. If you're looking to do your own "picking," this isn't it, but there are some nice items. Booths are curated collections of items both new and old, and while I didn't find anything I just had to have, and partly because I was just looking around, I didn't end up taking anything home that day. However, if I were looking for a period piece, or something to redo a room or space, I would consider looking here for something that isn't a big box, mass produced piece.

I enjoyed visiting Vintage Interiors very much today, and I especially appreciated the way I was…read morewarmly acknowledged when I entered the store. There was no pressure or hovering over and around me, which I for one like a lot. The interiors selection was just right for me - very cozy. I only noticed maybe one unoccupied booth and that's always a good sign to me. I made four purchases and at checkout I was surprised to find out that there was a 20% discount value for each item. How nice. It seems to me that the Owners still value the customer. For example, instead of tossing my purchases in a chintzy plastic bag, my purchases were placed in paper shopping bag with carrying handles. Call me silly, but it's those kinds of added touches that make me want to buy from shops/stores that make me feel appreciated. I hope you will treat yourself to a shopping trip at Vintage Interiors in Pelham in the very near future.

The majority of the furnishings appear to be high quality cherrywood; so, the value is high end versus low. Even though I didn't check out the price ranges of the furnishings, I feel certain that the Vendors will work with you, or at least, I hope so. I did purchase a small item, and it turned out to be half price at the register, which was a nice surprise. And the two individuals at the register were pleasant. The gallery is easy enough to find and there's plenty of parking.
