While on vacation my palms were itching, I had not gone junking in 10 days. Thanks to Yelps I…read morefound this 2nd hand store. The street was all torn up. I feared the shop would not be open but they opened promptly at 10AM. They had a great mix of gently used housewares, books, clothes and furniture. If I had a bigger suitcase I'd have got the very mod hanging light fixture but it stayed in Helsinki. The staff was very friendly and let me do my hunting in peace. When it came time to get into the locked cabinets the gal opened each cabinet and let me inspect each item. She patiently waited for me me to decide what I would purchase and what I'd leave behind. At checkouts, each item was carefully wrapped. I scored a wooden figurine of a bunny - the gal went to the back room (better internet service there) and looked up the character and show name for me. That's GREAT SERVICE! Thanks. Word of warning -- always check exchange rate. The dollar was not as strong as I thought it was based on the last time I compared it to the EURO. Sure I got some deals but not as good as I thought they were. Bonus - they accept credit cards!

Three stars?! WHAT!?!? Anyone who three-stars this place doesn't have children. Fida on Iso…read moreRoobertin is my new go-to for baby and infant clothes. I hate to even share this information as based on the huge inventory, it would appear that no one knows they have this stuff. Or maybe Finnish people just don't buy things used. That's fine! More for me. It's a little musty-smelling and the rest of the selection isn't great but it's an awesome place to pick up baby clothes if you don't mind digging a little. I am a firm believer in recycling and common sense dictates that a baby will outgrow clothing in 3 months or less. This is the best find I've found since moving to Helsinki. I won't be shopping there for myself, but I am very happy to have discovered their treasure trove of nice used things for little people. A quick run through the washer and they'll be good as new! PS- I think Fida benefits a religious organization or some other cause, so I feel good giving them the little money it actually costs to leave the store with tons of great things.
