I love a baby/kid thrift store and this place is amazing! There is always so much inventory and…read moreliterally anything you need they have. Strollers, clothes, toys, books, organizational stuff, walkers, baby toilets everything. I love that there are so many options and varieties of stuff. I needed to get my baby a walker and I was able to come here and have him test out a few. This was amazing because I had no idea what to get or what he would even like. We also found this activity table and again we were able to look and compare and see which one caught his interest. We got an activity table when he was around 8 months and learning to stand and he's almost one and still loves it! Great affordable clothing too with frequent sales. I love how they have sections with themes too! The Halloween selection was huge and the Christmas section is huge too. My son is recently into Barney so I went to find a Barney book, not the new weird Barney, the 90's Barney and I was so excited when I found one! And for only $1.50, my son's been flipping the pages everyday since! You can sell or trade your used or new baby items as well. I haven't done this yet but it's cool they have the option. Great store, 10/10 would recommend!

TERRIBLE!!!! If I could rate this place a zero I would. This place is a literal joke, you are…read morebetter off going on facebook marketplace and getting a better bang for your buck. Tried selling a couple things here and they just nit picked my stuff when a stroller outside had multiple scratches. Also not sure if one employee was racist but she kept looking at me funny just because I spoke Spanish to a relative. Sure the place is convenient and I understand they need to make profit but there is a difference between making profit and just being straight up greedy. Never had this issue before so i'm honestly pretty bummed because I enjoyed it but, I will not be coming back here.

In addition to clothes, they have books, toys, shoes, and even some movie DVDs. The tiny store is well organized. They are picky with what they accept, which is why buyers may be happier and give higher ratings than those looking to consign.

I've shopped at Beanstalk for years and have always appreciated having a local children's resale…read moreoption, which is why this is disappointing to write. Recently, the customer experience has shifted in a way that feels noticeably less accommodating and more rigid. On one visit, I arrived just a few minutes past the posted consignment drop-off time--with a large bag of items--and was turned away without any flexibility. As a mom juggling kids and schedules, that kind of all-or-nothing response felt unnecessarily inflexible and not very aligned with the realities of the customers they serve. There was also a separate incident involving an item that was handled in a way that felt lacking in communication and follow-through, which added to the overall frustration. As someone who works in sales and customer service, I fully understand the importance of policies--but also the importance of discretion, tone, and making customers feel valued. Unfortunately, that hasn't been my recent experience. I hope there's a return to the more customer-focused experience this store used to provide.

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.

I almost didn't stop here. I'm so glad I did. This small shop has some beautiful stuff for children…read morefrom infant to probably age 5-7 or so. That's as far as clothing, anyway; they also sell a lot of toys, some art supplies, that sort of thing for children. I didn't look at every piece of clothing here but what I purchased was all from brands I haven't heard of before, and really lovely stuff, so in addition to adding the shop on Instagram I'll have to check out the brands too. The woman helping me was very friendly, happy to help but to give me space. I bought a top for my babe and when I was looking at it she mentioned she had a navy colorway, which wasn't out on the floor but she went to get it for me to take a look at and I MUCH preferred it to the green one I had seen and was considering. I can't wait to see her in it! It's not a cheap shop, particularly if you're looking for clothing. But they had a sale going on when I was here and the two racks were packed with stuff. And the toys are generally not as high priced as the clothing if you're looking for a gift or something. If you're on a tour of children's stores in Portland, add this one to your list.

This is the cutest toy store. We were greeted when we walked in. Everything seems expensive but…read morethey also have really great brands like Jelly Cat, Speks, Maileg. We saw a lot of "squishies", fidgets, stuffed animals, books, tiny toys and even a small amount of nee dohs they had got in that morning. My kids are 13 and 16 but still very much enjoy this store, this is our third or fourth trip there. My kids made 3 laps around the store deciding what to get before we headed to check out. Both women working seemed to check on us more then necessary, it didn't seem like they were genuinely interested in seeing if we needed anything but more like they were making sure we didn't break or pocket anything, it was weird. We will probably go back again because my kids love to check out the new stuff and they have great inventory but again I feel like we could have gotten anything there for a few dollars less somewhere else.

That said, I'm sure all our aunties and grandmas (the over-60 set) would happily gobble up the stuff in here. What was more troubling was the shopkeeper. She was having a personal telephone conversation the entire time I was in the store. Her vitriolic words and tone made me highly uncomfortable and I was super sad for the person on the other end of the line. People that mean don't deserve our money.

The woman who was at the store--the owner, I think, based on our conversation--was friendly and super helpful. She knows her merchandise inside and out. She carries clothing here that I've never seen before at the children's stores I usually visit in the Chicago area (I've already told the owner of one of them that she needs to look into these brands!). I really appreciated that she explained the sizing system since I was a bit perplexed at first (maybe she saw my confusion)--since some are brands based in other countries, they're sized by centimeter but the American sizing equivalent is on the back of the tag (though can we talk about that cm/in sizing system for a moment, because it would make my life infinitely easier when trying to buy kid clothes....) Almost the moment I walked into the shop I zeroed in on this adooooorable pantsuit for my daughter, and a darling dress. I'm buying a little larger for her since she's a high percentile child and I'm looking forward to seeing her in these when she's big enough to wear them. They also sell local goods--I bought a Portland-themed t-shirt for the babe. I asked about a local shoe company I'd heard of that listed BW as a retailer and though they don't carry that brand any longer, she showed me a different local brand they carry called Ozznek (which has super cool shoes with removable soles!!) and I bought two pair for my little. This lovely little store was worth the visit; I will definitely return and I'm keeping an eye on their socials. I think they ship as well so between that and stopping in when I'm home visiting my mom I can keep my babe in cool duds. Parking is on the street, and it was easy for me in late morning/early afternoon on a Thursday, but I'm not sure if they have any parking lots or garages for visitors to Portland's Boise neighborhood.
