The Whimsical Wardrobe

I wanted to love this place. It is huge, taking up several rooms, filled with some good quality baby and kid stuff. We went during a 50 percent off toy sale and my toddler had a blast picking out books and toys. However, they overcharged me for a book that was supposed to be $ 1 for $ 5. Only $ 4, but still. That was more than it would have been new. I called to tell them and emailed the receipt plus the price tag on the book, and they took a few days to get back to me and said the only thing they could do was for me to return to the store, and they would give me the $ 4 back. Couldn’t mail me a check or refund my cc over the phone. We live about 20 minutes away, and it wasn’t worth it to go all the way back up there for $ 4, but this has left a sour taste in my mouth, and I won’t go back. I do follow them on facebook and they post items as they get them, but no amazing deals. I found the staff to be young and kind of unprofessional when I was there as well, they were gossiping loudly about their personal lives and those of others, rather than helping customers.

Much of what I saw was overpriced for the condition. $ 60−100+ for diaper bags that were quite worn and dingy with stained linings. A Coach bag with fraying handles and stained lining was marked at $ 120. I can get a brand new and clean bag at Coach outlet for around that price. $ 12 for a child’s pair of fake/​bootleg Gabba Vans. Most of the strollers were quite dirty looking. I had been under the impression that consignments were generally in better condition than the average thrift store. Perhaps I was wrong. 3 stars because they do have a lot to browse (don’t miss the upstairs rooms) and you never know if you might get lucky finding something good. I was just disappointed at the condition of most items.

This place is a great consignment shop with items for babies, kids and maternity. I have bought items from here and have not been disappointed. They also have a Facebook page where they post new items they have for sale all the time. Definitely check this place out if you are in the market for anything for babies, kids or maternity.
