Absolutely love this little shop. Everything from local handmade items to antiques and…read morecollectibles. The shop looks small from the outside, but once you open the doors the journey begins. My gf likes the front two rooms, but all the way at the back is where you'll find me. That's where you'll find the old treasures. And that's my happy spot. A must stop for us now in Slater when we are cutting between Ames and the metro. And if you are in Slater check out Cole's too. You won't be sorry.

There's quite a variety of items to choose from and you can even bring in your own for consignment. The only downside to that, in my opinion, is how picky they are with what they will and will not accept. That's ok though, the rest gets donated, so no harm done :) All of the staff members are very welcoming and helpful too. Worth the stop to shop :)

After shopping in other various furniture stores, we found Redekers to have quality furniture…read more Knowing what we were looking for, Hunter, our salesperson, graciously handed us the tape measure to begin our search explaining he was there to help when needed. We purchased a sofa, loveseat, two end tables, coffee table, sofa table, and a very solid recliner for the living room and very attractive shelving unit for nine of my antique mantle clocks. We love our furniture and have received numerous compliments. Thanks, Hunter, for your assistance! Also thanks to the delivery service as our furniture was covered with plastic for protection and the two gentlemen were very knowledgeable regarding the care of the wooden tables as they were manufactured by the Amish. Those wooden accents were very well made and so glad we purchased those.

I think in all of the IA Indie Bookshop Tour, I spent the longest time in this shop. There was so…read moremuch to look at, a cozy loft to just chill for a minute and try to narrow down my selection to 2 books - which ended up being 4... They have a wall of pre-loved books in great condition for great value and I also found a graphic novel I've only been able to find on Amazon. I am so glad I was able to find it and support an independently owned bookshop with it's purchase. I was next to tears by how many families with kids were in visiting the book shop, and carrying books the little ones picked out. Plus, the little reader nook in there is adorable. Also, something that really warmed my heart is the all gender private bathrooms (at least the one I went into) had a changing station and lots of room. Great coffee, good vibes and a great time. Can't wait to visit again!

Lots of natural light and big windows make for a comfortable feel, and the staff was incredibly kind and not pushy. They took "Iowa Nice" to another level, making the visit fun and informative. Options include all natural fragrances, artwork, cards, flowers, bracelets, stickers, earrings, plants, and items for the home. The service was spot on with a high level of knowledge and kindness. They have in-store events, and it is just a feel-good store to visit.

At first I was worried this would be an obscenely priced fashion boutique for the purposefully…read moreemaciated for fashion crowd, but it's actually a pretty cool little spot that has a little something for all.

Go feel like a pretty princess.
