Low and behold, four minutes from our condo is a futon place! We come in and are warmly greeted by Jordan. The store itself is full of art work and plants which is the perfect environment to try out the different futon mattresses and see how the frames work. Jordan listened to our wants and needs the entire process and thoroughly explained features and benefits of each item. We went with the mattress that they make in store and the darker stained wooden frame (one pictured) and couldn't be happier. They brought it to our place and set it up for FREE and it took not even 15 minutes. I 10/10 recommended going here if you are looking for a futon no matter what your price point is. Thank you so much Futon Shop!

It's always treasure hunting or adventure in shopping when you visit Artifacts. The inventory is…read morealways changing from antique from historical, vintage, Antique,, retro, to classic. You name it they probably have it or will have some time. From from toys, comics, furniture, tools, instruments of all kinds and types, jewelry, clothes.... The people who work there are friendly and knowledgeable. The prices tend to be reasonable, but occasionally I find some items to believe to be slightly overpriced. Remember prices are marked at time of the store's appraisal of the item before being placed on the floor, so it's price may not reflect current market value trends. Just keep that in mind when shopping here. All in all the over all prices are usually fair or a steal if you know your stuff and have an eye for what you're looking for.

Housed in a former staffing services space, the building is open and airy. I stopped in the other weekend and had a great (socially-distant) conversation with the owner. They've only been open a few weeks but already have a great assortment. The shop is curated with mid-century modern and modern furniture, art and records, plus clothes like vintage Hawkeye apparel, hats and jerseys. Fun fact: The owners know the team behind FindFurnish in Minneapolis, a similar store that has made trips down to Iowa City to buy some of their pieces before selling them at much higher, big-city prices. Definitely recommend this new, inspiring shop! Prices are great and the selection is varied.

There are an adorable, young married couple. I wanted to buy everything but I'm trying to downsize so I was there to sell. They took the time to look through all my things even though they weren't buying much at the moment, but they were able to find some pieces and offered me a fair price. I urge anyone who loves stores like Artifacts and the like to check this place out.

The shelves, walls, floor, and ceiling are all packed with stuff. Don't expect a bunch of staging here, but do expect to find some gems for amazing prices! We ended up buying a lot more than we anticipated, but there was just so much amazing pottery that we couldn't help it. The owner is an incredibly nice gentleman who was cleaning and polishing some of the wares the whole time we were there. He was very helpful in answering our questions. While it would be helpful to see a greater degree of organization to the pieces, I don't know how that would be possible without shutting the place down, clearing it out and starting over. There is, again, SO MUCH STUFF that you're bound to find a treasure.
