This is a huge store with a variety of items to choose from, so you can spend a lot of time looking around. I like the used music department. The CDs are only $5.

And I agree with the other reviewers, the store is very neat and clean inside. I did notice that some of the vendor's prices are a little higher than other vendors, but that's life, because some grocery stores are a little higher than other grocery stores (I won't name names). And finally, there are plenty of parking spaces in front of the store, which makes things convenient. If you haven't already, checkout Irondale Pickers.

They sell cheap clothes, nice household items and have a great as seen on TV section. I'd been wanting some dark colored tv trays and stumbled up on some here for $9 each. I was very pleased. They are sturdy too. This place reminds me of an old Walmart or Kmart before there were superstores. It's also nice for a quick store run when you want to avoid a big crowd.

If your kitchen sucks, and you're tired of that, head on down to Williams Sonoma and let the fancy…read morecookware vibes wash over you and change your life. The kinds of pots and pans that when you hold them you get a sense of your own mortality because it is apparent that they will last longer than you will. All the little cheese knives and wine decanters that a rich old lady could dream of. A butter crock? A festive baking dish? That one weird looking utensil that know one knows what it's for? They've got it all. A space that is brightly lit, with products in every direction and people running around everywhere but that somehow still feels cozy and imparts a feeling of aspiration toward culinary greatness on the entrant. You will visualize yourself standing over a brightly colored Dutch oven full of perfectly braised shortribs with the wind at your back on a temperate day in the spring. If you get some kitchenwares at this place, when a lot of people come to your house, at least one of them will be like, "Oh I love this thing where did you get it?" You can then say to them, "Williams Sonoma they have some great sales you should go". You deserve good skillets and such. Treat yourself. You'll only regret the purchase for a day or so, you'll have the skillet forever. Go to Williams Sonoma and make all your kitchen dreams come true.

How could this store have been here 34 years and I had missed it? This is a unique jewel for a…read moreMother/Daughter shopping: reminded me of Smiths that was next door to Western grocery so many years in MtnBrook Village. "Fun Stuff" is not what I expected. They do have a few toys, a little candy and some cute clothes for kids, but it's mostly special fun stuff for adults. This is the perfect place for a very cool wedding gift! A huge monogrammed cutting board with initials on one side and the couples portrait on the other was pretty reasonable! Monogrammed towels in a million color threads, monogrammed water pitchers, glasses, stationary, and lucite napkin holders, heirloom monogrammed scrap books or baby books, serving trays, snack bowls of various woods, college or sorority items, a few ladies coverups, seasonal decor and more to choose from! I ended up with a darling gold ice scoop & towels with our 3 initials! Friendly service tops it off! I'm returning for my favorite unique gift under $30: a tea towel with a copy of a fave family recipe, in Grandma's own handwriting! So here comes "Nana Kathy's Bourbon Sweet Potatoes" made famous!

Confirmed, first step inside and it was exactly the type of home décor store she likes. All sorts of things --- really so much stuff packed into this store, but not cluttered, just really good use of space. Really cool feature, they offer monogramming, engraving and vinyl services, so if you are looking for a gift for somebody (or something for you) and you want to personalize it, they have the ability to make that happen for you. Prices seemed to be good and on par with other home décor stores. The store is split kind of into two halves - to the right is home stuff - to the left is kids stuff - clothes, toys, etc. Staff was really friendly and helpful checking on me a couple times while I was in the store to make sure I didn't need anything. Great little shop in Vestavia Hills, check them out!
