I went in for the Labor Day sale and I got a bunch of great workout cloths, some jeans, and a dress. You need to go in with nothing in mind- I wanted long sleeve shirts for the fall!!

You can't always count on it being open exactly by the posted hours, but if you're near downtown…read moreWakefield and it happens to be open, it's definitely worth your time to stop in. It's a small space but they use it well; there are knickknacks and cool antique pieces everywhere you look, and the owners are knowledgeable about what they sell and about the history of the town. This shop differs from other local antique shops in that it sells more small pieces and collectibles, rather than large pieces of expensive furniture and framed paintings. It's a much cozier and more welcoming feel than the showroom-style places nearby where you're scared to touch anything with a price tag on it. I collect vintage compacts and cosmetics and Un-Common Antiques has saved me a couple trips to Concord, as I can find the pieces I'm looking for here without the ridiculous markups and the long drive.

Well, I can say I have been in a couple of times to try and sell some clothes. Clothes thrown on…read morethe floor and then said sorry. I know I'll never try that again. Seems they only want the high end stuff. I know I will not be gong back and do not recommend going here. Well I guess leather and suede pants do go out of style. Glad to see I'm not he only one that has had such experiences here.

Okay, Alano's as well as Wakefield Center as a whole will bring you back to the 1950's--and…read morequick... It is an old-fashioned looking downtown/center with a lot of the original signs and buildings from a different time...enjoy. Welcome...you are back to the era of Woolworth's and Brigham's (which I am not knocking, as I remember both from childhood). Just setting the scene.... As Rachael made mention of in her review, grandmas would love shopping here (again, not a knock, I love my gramma very much and would take her here anytime!) But, they have stuff for non-grandma-folk too. If I wasn't currently so well-stocked in my wardrobe, I probably would have come out with a few things... ...If the 1950's don't creep you out, you could score here---big time. They have some newer/trendier brands that I know are from TJ Maxx/Marshall's and everything in between all the way over to certified "Mom Jeans" that fit you snuggly and stiffly (they are thick denim) well above the waist. But they are crisp and new and I don't know where they got them! They could sell on Ebay for collectors or fashion historians... Oh...speaking of crisp...I almost forgot...they had all of the ladie's polyester casual pants (circa 1970, like my mom used to wear soooooooooooooooo long ago...) that you could shake a stick at...It made me think that someone might come in in grab them for some play/ period costumes They have men's and children's/baby clothing and it looked good from across the way but I had no desire to investigate. Highlights: Women's sweaters and winter coats were fashionable and veeeeeeeeeeeery cheap! Nice, warm vests.... Some nice purses A plethora of gramma nightgowns, if you are looking for a present for your gramma...

This store is like a thrift store of new stuff, and it's usually either a big hit or a big miss…read more Yes, they have lots of granny clothes, but if you go towards the back they have a whole bunch of Kensie samples for super cheap. Last time I was here, I spent $50 and got 4 dresses and 3 shirts. I don't want to even think about how much the same stuff would have cost at Nordstrom. WHAT A DEAL!

Always love seeing what he has to post and all the new items he has acquired. So. I had the opportunity to visit the store one day while staying in a nearby town for work and I popped in to do some Christmas shopping. To some it may be overwhelming with how much he has, I view it as strawberry picking in flea market bins looking for rare / unique items. I bought a good amount of stuff and found some good presents on his $10 rack. He gave me a few stickers to slap on my refrigerator and tag him on Instagram. Definitely a place checking out. Look up his social media if you want to get an idea on what he has. I'll post some pictures of what I bought after Christmas.

Very disappointing. Used to love this store. Vast majority of the clothing in the regular section…read more was in meager shape and very outdated. All clothes and shoes that were in decent condition, regardless of brand name were in the boutique section for $20 or more- the section formerly reserved for high end clothes only. I feel this does a great disservice to the community Bootstraps claims to serve- those in need. The community they serve also need clothes in decent condition for work- the new set up makes this unfeasible. The jewelry and housewares are also overpriced for the quality. Though I understand fully the need for revenue to keep the store alive, I think the current approach is off base for the mission of the company.
