Shopped for baby shower gifts and got a variety of quality clean items for great prices. I even…read moreheard a customer tell the sales person that they had a pair of shoes for sale for $40 that are worth $100 on the resale market and the store could increase the price.

I was hesitant posting this as we have gotten very good stuff from this store and have been going…read morefor several years. Recently there has been an uptake in issues with toys we've bought. I'm giving them a 3 star review because they did offer refunds for each issue and apologies, and acknowledge we make mistakes, I am just bothered it's repeated and over the course of a couple of years. We haven't had issues with clothes or shoes but specifically with either toys missing entire pieces repeatedly or broken toys. First it was a build a bear wheelchair that was clearly taped together then broke same day we bought it. Then it was a pink baby stroller that had a gem over a missing screw so it never worked right. Then it was a wooden toy set that had broken pieces and then missing pieces. And recently we bought a train set that didn't even have the correct train pieces in it. They offered refunds for all and apologies so I do want to make that known, I feel as though if you know this is an issue, this shouldn't keep happening. My child gets her hopes up every time to then have to take it away from her. We were able to give away the train set and decided to not take the refund as my partner felt uncomfortable going back in. Saying you're human and we make mistakes is true, yet the issue needs to stop happening. Attacking people for leaving honest reviews isn't professional and I see a lot of that in the owners response. Yes it can be nice if they contact you first but it's not required. Your apologies doesn't negate the experience especially if it's a repeated experience. If you shop here, please make sure you count, check and quality check the toys you are getting. Luckily we live very very close and hasn't been a huge inconvenience but it could be for a family that's visiting out of town or doesn't live close. I do want to add something since the owner responded and I feel as though it should be said, if you're putting the blame on your staff consistently, then maybe the staff needs to change because these mistakes are costing customers and ultimately money for the business. Wish you guys well!

So most of the time it's a really nice place to go with a good selection of comfortable stylish clothing. However i do have to say the last time i went in i was ignored when i walked in, however the woman working there that day didn't ignore the other 3 people who walked in after me and greeted them immediately. Then when she finished with the person in there before me she still ignored me and went on to help all of the people who walked in after me. Then when they left and i was the only person in the store, she still ignored me and went to stand behind the counter doing nothing, then after a good 10 minutes decided to come over and ask me if i needed any help looking for anything. Needless to say, worst experience at this location, especially when every time prior to this i was greeted and helped in a timely manner. I will be going back to see if it happens again, but if it does i will no longer be shopping at this location.

I never gave children's stores much attention before the birth of my (ridiculously handsome) baby…read moreson, but after he was born, I became intimately acquainted with how expensive kids can be. Fortunately, places like Pinwheels help take the edge off of clothing and entertaining the little guy! Clothing, shoes, accessories, toys, books, games, strollers, swings: it's all here! And it's all a bargain! Lightly used? Just about everything seems about as close to brand new as possible; *I'd* certainly never know the difference. There's even a "diaper depot" (as I like to call it anyway): a drop box where you can donate extra diapers you no longer need, so that others less fortunate can take them for free; a heartwarming touch that immediately endeared me to this place. The owner is a vibrant, wonderful woman who immediately engaged us upon entering, and make the whole experience a true pleasure. And she has an eye for style, quality, and most important in a resale shop: cleanliness! We bought a pair of shoes and a few toys this time around, but I foresee many return visits to Pinwheels, and not just to re-sell the clothes my son outgrows. I'd rather shop here for his needs than any big box store in the Portland area.

Although it is primarily a consignment children's clothing store, you'll also find no shortage of wonderful, analog toys to plant the seeds of imagination in your little ones, in the hope that they'll sprout into clever, intelligent, fully-functioning, not-screen-addicted adults! This must be a conscious choice, because I could find nary an electronic device anywhere in the shop! Big kudos from me on that point alone! As for the clothing, let's just say, you're spoilt for choice. While some of the items are a little on the pricier side than I would like for a consignment shop, the quality of the clothing here is impeccable: clean, well-organized, and a healthy variety of sizes and styles. Everything you could need for any age, from newborn and toddler, up through the early grade school years: shirts, pants, dresses, hats, coats, shoes (TONS of shoes!), costumes, and all sorts of accessories! There's also a small selection of baby stuff in the back, including cribs, swings, and a host of different devices that I have no clue as to their function, but will assuredly be learning about them in the coming months (my wife is due next month)! In the last year, I have come to learn that shopping for a new child sucks, mostly because there is a dearth of places that have any quantity of clothing and accessories, outside of the big box stores, which I would prefer not to frequent, if possible. Thankfully, Beanstalk is here to pick up the slack, but you DO have to make an effort to get here during operating hours, particularly if you work during the week: Saturday (from 10am to 5pm) is your only real available option.

Our shops have all the summer essentials for kiddos!

The WORST I agree with LEX E !!!…read more The owner is RUDE !

When we asked about a really cool kitchen set behind the counter (that was listed online), she stayed on the phone with her friend and was clearly inconvenienced with our question. It wasn't until we came up for checkout that she told her friend that "sorry I'll be right back, it's really busy" when we were the only ones in the store. As she was ringing us up, my wife found some pretty bows and asked if she could get them as well after she'd already told us the price for the two small toys we initially came up with. We got charged 12 dollars for the 4 of them. She was back on the phone before we could even get to the door, last words we heard was "and she unadded me on Snapchat".
