    This is easily one of the coolest Antique stores in Central Iowa! Now most Antique stores are filled with little nick nacks that no one will ever buy or want for that matter! But not this place. A Okay is full of really unique awesome stuff. They have all this crazy mid century furniture and art that I would love to fill my home with but it's just a little out of my price range! Right now they have this amazing juke box, and I asked the lady working if it still worked and she said oh yes and you don't need change either, She said, "go ahead and play something," I was debating what I would play and I settled on, "SHOUT," by the Isley Brothers! It sounded so great! I was wishing I had an extra 2,500 bucks sitting around so I could take this guy home! The lady working was very polite and answered a few questions we had about our new home, and it's mid century appliances and we ended up picking up a magazine she had to help us answer even more questions. This is probably my 5th time in the store and every time I'm impressed with the selection of really fun stuff, they have, from Ted Williams autograph ball to that Herman Miller chair you would love to sit in and have coffee every morning!

    Awesome furniture and smalls..

    The Picker Knows - Interesting display in booth

    Every now and then you comes across a place on Yelp that makes you step back a little... I've been…read morehere a TON of times! How have I not reviewed this place before now...?! The Picker Knows is one of those places... Probably the premier, and my favorite, antique "mall" in the Des Moines metro! Rows and rows of vendor booth and cases. I'd hate to total the money up that I've spent here... And buying is great, but a lot of times I just have fun window shopping. Looking at the many different things here that I can't afford or have no business spending money on... Lol Very large display items, furniture, antiques, retro and vintage, some modern, a few clothes, comics, vinyls, Hot Wheels, some dusty and rusty things, handcrafted items, and tons of smalls! Prices are vendor driven. So some are high, some are at market, and there are great deals to be found here too. As a veteran I appreciate the veteran's only parking spot near the front door. At only 55 I pass it up a lot because there are veterans in A LOT worse shape than I am. But I have used it a couple of times. It's so easy to spend hours here! Vendors leave and new vendors fill their slots. And with the merchandise being vendor provided...the selection is ever changing! The staff is fantastic and always available for questions or to open a case! The bathrooms aren't terrible for this environment. They aren't perfect...pretty plain Jane...but they don't send you running for the hills. Lol The Picker Knows is a must stop in the Des Moines metro if you are into antiquing or thrifting!

I was here because my Nephew was getting married next door at the Decades Event Center. I believe that both spaces were once a Dahl's Grocery Store. Since I was early and the pictures I was in were taken, I had some time to wander about. I love looking around antique stores and this place certainly had a lot of space and individual "consignment" booths. In situations like this, my eyes glaze over as I keep walking. In my head is Gayle saying - "Where are you going to put this crap?". In my heart is the preference of finding some unique peace that I can convince myself that I can't do without. I finally purchased a cool heavy metal Iowa-themed belt buckle for $15. That was after my go-to shopping targets of knives, pens, and old publications came up empty. I also find that I'm good for about 30 minutes in an antique store, and them I have to get out. If there's a next time, I'm sure inventory will be different, so who knows what might appear!

    I really love antique stores, so much mystery and I love hunting for a good find, I can't find…read moreanywhere else! I have been in here once before, and the store is jam packed full of stuff. Both times I was here I noticed buckets catching water through the roof. So the building is a little in shambles, but the stuff in it.... rules! I drive buy this building every day bringing my kid to school, so I noticed this sweet mid century modern lamp in the window that would match my "Fake" mid century modern couches.. So I had to go and check it out.. Mind you when I saw the price tag, 600 bucks.. and the sweet owner told me it was from the early 60's and made in Italy I understood that this lamp does not belong next to my two fake mid century modern couches that were purchased for under the price of that lamp! But hey I kept shopping and found tons of other treasures that I would love to have but also couldn't afford.. But you got to look everywhere here! I did end up finding a really cool Minnesota Twins button from the 1960's that I will give to my dad for Christmas.. and hey it was only 5 bucks! I wish I could buy that 600 dollar lamp, and the very sweet owner could fix his roof.. The store is also only open on weekends or by appointment.. So go check it out.. There is bound to be a treasure in there for you! Or if you want to buy me a 600 dollar Christmas Present I will take that orange lamp in the window..

I am a frequent customer because every time I come in there is something new I haven't seen before. I'm always amazed no one else has bought it yet when I set my eyes on something that catches my attention. The prices are incredibly modest. Just as fun as finding cool artifacts and treasures is chatting away with the two owners. They are really knowledgeable and fun people with exceptional taste. Their eye for antiques is refreshingly artistic. I HIGHLY recommend this neighborhood gem. MUST SEE!

I was under the impression that anything sold would be reflected as a store credit to be used at our discretion. I stopped in a couple of weeks ago to buy some dishes and asked to use my credit. I was informed that there was no credit and that a check had been issued, that is now expired. I had a check...when?? That was not at all clear and I was not notified. I sent a message and received a call from the store about the issue, and nothing will be done. Not even a hint at a possible solution besides too bad, but the check is expired, nothing more. I asked if people are notified about consignment checks and they are NOT. The checks are put in a drawer and removed upon expiration if they weren't picked up. Even if I misunderstood, shouldn't customers be notified of money they are owed for personal items sold? I'm surprised that no message is ever sent. So, I gave my items to the store for free. My patronage must be very low priority. Questionable business practice and extremely frustrating.
