The shop is absolutely lovely. Very clean and well ventilated and with lots and lots of antique and vintage pieces of top-of-the-line quality and uniqueness and a wide price range so there is something for everyone! Lots of Asian offerings here too with which I was VERY pleased. I spent hours in here and got to talking with the owner Glen and one of the staff Shelby. They answered all my questions, shared tons of information, and showed pieces off that I wouldn't have caught. Both were extremely knowledgeable, courteous, friendly, helpful, and professional. Glen even offered discounts on some pieces which pleasantly surprised me! I had the greatest time and zero problems whatsoever with what everyone else mentioned. I come here as often as possible! read more

Incredibly overpriced. There were no prices on any of their goods and I ended up paying $40 for three paper items- A green floral poster, pack of vintage broom ads, and a small leather postcard. The staff weren't wearing masks and the cashier would come up with the price as he looked through your items. Overall, a major skip on any trip to Provo. read more

This is quite a fortress of wonderment! I've always walked by the storefront stopping to look at the beautiful vintage rings in the window. Never really stepped foot into the larger-than-you-expect store until recently. It is filled with truly exquisite antiques and vintage everything. One of the coolest things there is this old knock down game with these wooden dolls that have giant heads and creepy faces. Truly an embodiment of what this store is all about. Not sure if this was their goal, but they definitely have a creepy vibe going on in the theme. But maybe that's just antiques in general? Creepy but cool. The owner Gary is very nice and you can tell he is passionate about his job. Though this is tucked away in busy Center Street, stop and check it out! read more

I've always loved antique stores, and it's a sad reality that they are dying out. I never travel to Provo [from Salt Lake], but I'm glad I stopped by. Everything from the huge ostrich near the front to the dirty bitty porcelain figurines has a story to tell. I loved looking at everything, and having the owners tell me about the intriguing objects! read more

This is one of the most interesting antique shops I've been in. It has the most unique collection of mysterious things. I found a collector piece to add to my crystal knife rests. This is an especially great time to go as they have an upstairs room and host private tours and tells stories about the items they display. read more

I loved this this unique antique shop/museum. I never would have come here originally but I came with a friend and while there, I thought it was fascinating. I loved walking around and seeing all the cool items for sale. It's really small, cramped and dirty, but I guess that's to be expected in an antique shop. read more

This place is one of the only places that makes me so blissfully happy. Cat's Cradle is a quaint little wonder in Utah county that never ceases to stun me. The owners and workers there are so friendly and willing to tell you about all the pieces displayed. I love this place and it's my little secret corner of heaven read more

I recently purchased a very high prices item. A once in a life time purchase. I even had it on layaway and made payments just so I could afford it. I was so excited the day I finally got to pick it up. It was a piece of heirloom Jewelery that was the exact thing I had been looking for as a gift for our 30 th wedding anniversary. The first time I put it on which was on the way home from Cats Cradle I barely bumped it on my steering wheel getting out of my car and I looked down and the part of the ring that connects to the setting had popped off and was completely disconnected on one side. After taking it immediately to a local jeweler he explained that it was so thin and barely connected that he would have to build up the thickness of the ring and completely reattach it for $250. I called the man who sold it to me immediately and explained what had happened. He told me that he has a jeweler who does his appraisals and who he takes things to to be repaired. I told him that if this ring already got appraised and passed his 12 point inspection than I did not want that same jeweler to repair my broken ring. He told me that where he takes his things to get fixed only charges him $35. He said if I take it to my jeweler he would only reimburse me $35. I ended up having to pay $320 for everything that needed to be done to my ring. It is platinum so the cost to add enough metal to my ring to make it secure and for him to appraise it so we could get it insured was very pricy. I have returned to this shop 3 times to at least get compensated for my poor excuse of a refund and he has not been there one time. I could not believe he would not let me take the ring to my jeweler after his did such a pathetic job of checking it for sale. Just for principle I will return one more time for my 35$ refund but I will never make another purchase from this very creepy weird vibe unreliable and sadly not willing to backup what it sells shop. My warning to all. Get anything you buy here appraised and checked out by a third party before you purchase it. EXTREMELY UNSATISFIED AND NEVER RETURNING CUSTOMER,, read more

There's always something new and interesting to look at in this store! I bought a chunk of smoky quartz for a birthday gift here, and my roommate loved it. Also, there is a glass statue of a humanoid shape wrapped in rope that really catches my eye every time I go in. If I ever get super rich, that statue is gonna be the first frivoulous purchase I make. read more

Amazing selection. I always get jewelry for my lady here. My mom loves the antique home decor. They are polite, incredibly helpful and informative. I get great items and very interesting history lessons when I go in. Don't be scared to talk with the staff and ask questions. The owners truly seem to enjoy their jobs and it shows! 5 Stars without question! read more

Best antique shop in Utah. The real deal with lots of high quality and knowledgeable owners.

I cannot exactly how many years i had shopped in this store, starting when Glen had the store running from his quaint cute house in Provo. But it's been over 15 years i believe. I am so pleased with this business, great antiques, honest owners. I can trust them with my eyes closed. I haven't had not a single bad experience with them. I love Cat's Cradle and i recommend it to any one. You won't regret it. read more
