This store has many ingredients for greatness: the name, they've been around for 30+ years, staff gets great feedback and gives professional replies to reviews, they have a cat that lives there! FYI: they had to relocate in 2021 due to a fire at their old location. So some Yelp photos are of the old place. For a resale store, I am always balancing two things: (1) how items are displayed / how easy it is to browse, and (2) the value of the pricing. And unfortunately this store was too full, with narrow aisles, and some things that seemed to me like junk (probably other people's treasure)... at too high a cost. I saw a single plate for $15. I likely won't visit regularly, but I think stores like this are worth supporting! read more

Went in here with my mother who was visiting, we saw this store after checking out Artifact and who can ignore the promise of really good stuff? And it was. If you love searching through a horde of antique and vintage instruments, photos, clothing, furniture, and knickknacks, this is the place for you! I am personally a fan of the clutter. Really adds to the "treasure hunting" aspect of searching through an antique store. read more

While many antique stores are jam-packed with useless items, this one is an exception. It's hard not to find something to take home every time I'm in there. Most recently, I fell in love with a cane that Evan resized on the spot to accommodate my short stature. While the cost of some items lean higher, I justify it as the price for having access to a great selection of really good stuff. read more

Thought it was a pretty cool spot before I saw black face salt and paper shakers for sale.

I'll be honest, I only came to this store for the cat I saw in reviews, stayed for the dog though. It was really a cute store, lots of unique and vintage tech and random trinkets. Owner was very nice and accommodating from what I overheard. Every sign had a little joke or sarcastic note on it which added a certain charm to the store. Everything was priced pretty reasonably. All in all a cool place to drop into. The dog was so sweet and friendly while the cat was still warming up to people but if you spend a couple minutes with just her, she'll be purring. read more

I have an antique rotary phone that needed some love and wasn't working correctly.... Called numerous "phone" places for help, and kept getting turned down.... Finally luck on my side and after a quick chat was encouraged to drop in. Thank God, these guys know their stuff! Within the time I shopped around the store, Evan had my telephone fixed up and I had a VERY reasonable 30 min labor charge (as well as a few extra items that I found while browsing). Truly, Justin and Evan are amazing and I highly recommend supporting this business. read more

So of course I needed a wall clack for my wife's birthday THE DAY BEFORE HER BIRTHDAY...haha Found this little gem on the wall, the owner was very nice, personable, and very knowledgeable about the items in his shop. You can tell he takes pride in his shop and is a good businessman :) Lord of street parking on both sides of the street (went in at 4pm on a Friday) Great shop, tons of hidden gems, and reasonable prices :) Excited to go back and I highly recommend this place!! read more

Really Good Stuff - Cuckoo clock (made in Black Forrest, Germany) - Antiques Near Me - Portland, Oregon

The owner of Really Good Stuff, Evan and I were working on a deal for a clean-out of a house in Portland. He came Very highly recommended! We met and had an agreement - He then met with the homeowner's son, also great - it was all promises, handshakes and smiles all around. We came up with a price and I was confident that he would be there. Now keep in mind the I'm from the East coast and flew in to make sure this this job ran smooth. When the day came to Start work, I got a text from Evan that said "sorry, I can't do it". Now I'm really screwed, I must go back to square one, with no time left! This was very unprofessional and effected my business negatively. VERY BAD BUSINESSPERSON! read more

I was given a recommendation to bring a few things into the jeweler Bryan who has his workspace in the back of the store. He wasn't present when I dropped my things off. i described what I needed done to the store owner. I then got a call from the owner because he forgot what I needed done though he had scribbled some notes. I then got a call from Bryan who told me he could do the repairs for $30 and would have them done "anytime after Tuesday". I went in to get them Friday morning and in his absence the owner couldn't find the pieces (Bryan wasn't there). When Bryan came in later, he called me, and said he still hadn't finished (at least two days after they were to have been done) but he would have them done by the end of the day. I went in a few minutes after the store had closed and the owner had the pieces ready, but now the price had gone up to $40. I explained that I had been given a quote of $30. He found a receipt that said $40. He said that the jeweler was "in his 90's and not in good health" and that I should "cut him a break". I said that a price quote is a verbal agreement and a good business honors that. He told me I could come back (for a fourth time) to finally meet Bryan and discuss the bill. I told him I wouldn't bother. He asked me to do him a favor and to not shop there ever again. I responded that he needn't worry, I had no intention of ever returning. I know that the store owner is not responsible for the jeweler but he should at least let people know to get a written estimate as both of them appear to have some memory issues. The work was done, and I felt like rather than "the customer is always right" these two characters need to discuss their relationship and how to interact in a professional manner with people who come it. read more

i brought a bracelet in to get re-soldered on recommendation from another shop. got this bracelet from my grandmother and had it a long time. the repairman Bryan butchered the job, bent the piece that needed to be re-soldered and didn't even close the break. worse than that, the stone on the broken piece is a dull grey color now instead of the blue it was when i dropped it off. seems to me he torched the stone and just broke the piece worse. then called me in and tried to charge me $25 for it. do not bring meaningful jewelry here for repair. read more

Honest and kind people, great finds, a little bit of Old Portland survives on Division Street.

Really Good Stuff is a charming little antique shop run by three older gentlemen and a slightly spicy cat. I thoroughly enjoyed poking around the store, and was beyond delighted to find 4 great Star Trek toy sets, still in the original packaging, and priced very reasonably. Even better, since I was visiting from out of town, they agreed to ship it to me. The package arrived yesterday, as promised, and I cannot wait to gift my finds come Christmas. This store is a gem, and well worth checking out. read more

My daughter and I visited for the first time total. We love going thrifting and finding cool stuff. The store itself is pretty small. It did have a lot of interesting items from what we saw. The items were quite expensive compared to other thrift/antique stores stores we frequent - so we left without browsing the whole store. It just wasn't the vibe we like in a thrift store. read more

Stopped in here today on a whim. There are so many interesting things in this shop. The man who I assume is the owner is very polite. A little cramped and probably not a place to bring the younger kids since there is a lot of fragile items. Left with a couple comics. read more

Whole place just burned. Sending love to the owners. I loved that place, hope it doesn't turn into a apartment complex or something.

Had my husband stay outside with our kids so they wouldn't get into anything. While I was inside the man setting stuff outside rudely told them to move pointing out to the street even though they were not even close to being in his way. We left immediately after such rude treatment. It is a shame because there were some really cool things in the store that I would have liked to look at. As a response to the reply below. We actually parked down the street from your store so no, we were not in your way. Given the reviews about your attitude towards people visiting your shop I do not think that my husband over reacted to how he was treated as the consensus seems to be you are rude. Since you are so quick to judge our parenting skills I have a tip for you. Maybe if you spent more time being courteous to your customers you would have more business. read more

Great little vintage shop. Grabbed some old Mad Magazines. Nice variety of stuff, from antique instruments to vintage pinball machines. Very nice owner. Wish there were a lot more shops like this in Portland. read more

Went by at noon, the door was unlocked but the lights were off. Said "Hello" and a faint voice from somewhere in the back answered back but we left. Not worth stopping by! read more

I eat at Riyadh's next door all the time and always wondered about this store. Finally, I had a few minutes to kill so I went in. I WILL BE BACK! Wow, what fun - and this place is HUGE! I met their sweet store kitty Tommy who is a big fat lazy but super sweet Tom cat who loves affection. Not even looking to bring something how I came across this great print and a beautiful pewter figurine. Went up front and he just wanted $10 for both...seriously??!! Best deal ever! They have a bit of everything so take your time some afternoon hunting through. read more

Cute shop! Great spread and tons of good stuff. I used the fortune teller machine and got an anti cult pin! Hooray! read more

Definitely messy, things are just piled all over the place. They ask for your backpack but it's not for security - it's so you don't end up bumping into (and knocking over!) anything. Even though things aren't as well presented and pretty as Lounge Lizard a couple doors down, just spend some time here and you will find some amazing treasures. The highlights: - An old dental chair from the 50's - pink, leather, full of scary looking tools. - Guitars for only about $60! A little out of tune, but my friend and I jammed for a little bit and hey they worked. - Super old school video games - think an asteroid/brick type game where your spaceship is made of 3 pixels. There is also a big cat roaming around. read more

Instant Relatives, Costumes, and Cat-themed restroom! So we were in Portland visiting some relatives for a week. After exhausting downtown, we hopped on the 15 bus to get back to SE, and through the bus window I saw Really Good Stuff on SE Hawthorne. They had some cool stuff outside, so we yanked the stop chain and disembarked from the bus. Whoa, treasures galore! My sister went straight for the Instant Relatives section, which has multiple file cabinets full of old photos, separated by "Uncles," "Grandmas," "Sisters," etc. There was so much cool stuff in there, but the store owner wants to hang on to most of it, you can tell, because the shite isn't priced to move. Old film reels for a DOLLAR a MINUTE?!? So you want 80 BUCKS for this random partial film that we can't even see first? Whatever. So in the end, we dug through a lot, but walked away with very little. I picked out a couple of postcards cause they said 10c on them, but I guess that was the old price (what they were at the estate sale), cause the guy at the counter charged me 50c a piece. Sadface bumtown. This place is great for entertainment and killing time, but not so great for actual collectors. Think of it as a museum, or an old attic belonging to your friend's grandfather. Five stars for funness, minus one star for pricing. read more

Ever see that old 80's show "Friday the 13th"? With the cursed artifacts and creepy monkey? Yeah, that place is real. And it is way cooler than the show. Honestly, things are priced at a reasonable level for all of the goods offered. Everything from old tube radios, to zippos and stop signs. It is the variety here that you could probably spend hours sorting through everything which has its own oddball kind of organizational structure. It is cramped, I must say. So you are having to be careful if there are more than a few people in the area, you are having to be careful not to upend one thing or another. Give this place a go, you might find a hidden gem in here. read more

Shopping in this store is like browsing through your grandma's attic. There are so many treasures and trash all crammed into a confined space. It isn't a bad thing though. I loved it! At times it was hard to walk around without bumping into things (as spaces can be tight), so women....leave your large purses/bags at home! They sell a lot of really old, unique things here and the prices on some things didn't seem way sky high. But some things were more than what I would pay for. There was a cute cat just lounging around on table tops, which I thought was just adorable! They sell all sorts of things here, from vintage tea cups, to old coca cola bottles (with liquids still inside)! It was a great place to browse! read more

Employees here will yell at you for touching things. If you ask questions, you'll get no where. Wanted to like this shop, but like other reviews have said, unnecessarily rude. At a normal shop, they'd come and offer to help show you something, not yell full volume across the room to scold you. Never going back and telling friends to avoid it. read more

Mostly overpriced, yes. Dusty and claustrophobia-inducing, yes. Overwhelming, yes - but in a fantastic way. In other words, it's like almost every other vintage store in Portland... It's next to Lounge Lizard which makes for an interesting juxtaposition. I wasn't looking for anything in particular so I can't report on the helpfulness of the staff. There were plenty of them around, though, and they did leave us alone to wander and admire. And the music equipment selection was pretty impressive. Definitely look for Tommy if you go. His favorite seats are easy to spot... read more

This is the best antique store in Portland. My kids, 7 and 9 insisted I write a review because they had so much fun browsing the store. It's full of carefully collected treasures, things that have history or are quality items and fun interesting objects that are visually appealing. You could spend hours in there. I appreciate that the staff isn't hovering over clients, they're friendly if you need anything though. Perfect shop to browse on a rainy day. read more

This is a Portland MUST SEE if you like antiques! I got lost in here for over an hour and came out with 2 vintage cameras, an alarm clock, flashlight and some other gadgets all from between the 1960s-1970s. The store owner Evan spoke to me about all of the pieces I got. As a bonus, the store is in a super trendy area with tons of shops other antique stores, tea, coffee shops, food truck park, and other things to see. Highly recommend! read more

What a gem of a place! It has just what you want in a flea market style store - lots of nooks and crannies to peer into for treasures. Stopped in for the first time yesterday and found a KitchenAid stand mixer for a super reasonable price (and a 48 hour "guaranteed to work" return policy) . I didn't even bother asking the man behind the counter to go down on the price because he was such a lovely human and I don't have the street smarts to haggle over a few percentage points with someone so helpful. read more

Walking down Hawthorne, I saw this store with a bunch of cool stuff sitting of the store. Walking in, I was not prepared for what was inside. This is like a cool grandma's hoarding house, where the arrangement of things feels like an amusement park or museum. Some of the aisles are quite narrow, so be aware if the store looked crowded. I dont want to list everything that they have, but if you are nearby, make sure to check it out. read more

went here today and was browsing around with my friend who was interested in a bunch of viewer reels they had. we started chatting with another guy shopping who was a collector as well. my friend and him were going to exchange numbers when the dude behind the counter got extremely aggressive and asked this dude if he knew us then told him to leave us alone. we obviously jumped in to say that was not at all the situation but the guy was a total jerk. we left after and i will never be going back there read more

The jewelry repair technician here is a magician! This is the third piece I've had him work on. I dropped it off yesterday and he was done before they closed. I was told by two other jewelers that this family heirloom ring could not be fixed, but it's on my finger, in perfect condition! He is a master craftsman and very reasonably priced. read more

I ran into a friend from college country here. We had one of those catch-up in 10 minutes conversations that are both noteworthy and totally hilarious simultaneously, in that the likelihood of conveying exactly what's been happening to you for x number of months/years is about as probable as being able to successfully purchase Tommy the store cat. So, for the benefit of the Yelp community, I've prepared a stock conversation to be used for quick catch-up. Note, you can only use the below material at Really Good Stuff. It may be adapted to other businesses and settings, but I can't guarantee the flow. You: Hey ___ (insert longtime absent friend's name)! Friend: Hey, you! What's up? You: Oh, just checking out ___ (insert name of random furniture or novelty item). Friend: Cool. What've you been up to? You: Lots, really. What are you up to? Friend: We're looking at these ___ (insert name of oddball musical instrument or spiritual sheet music). You: Cool. You know what you really need? One of those ___ (gesture towards random ferret pelt/pachinko machine/crinkled black and white photo of someone's beloved Great Aunt Helga). It'll set you apart from the rest. Friend: For sure. Take care. You: You, too! Who says that keeping in touch is hard? read more

If you're looking to furnish a vintage apartment or want some accent pieces that would rival Grandma's decor, this is your place. They have just about anything and everything you could possibly imagine, from second hand musical equipment to file drawers filled with random lost photographs to older used furniture to jack-a-lope heads. It's actually a bit overwhelming to tell you the truth. I have to admit, most of the stuff I saw in here seemed a bit overpriced for what it was. But like they say, one man's trash is another man's treasure. I'm sure this rings true at Really Good Stuff. Seeing a miniature sized city-scape under glass made into a coffee table sent me drooling to my knees. Total crap, is what most of you are probably thinking right now. Oh well. read more

A great place to spend an afternoon; it's full of lots and lots of interesting stuff. The owners are cool guys, easy to talk to. My friend picked up a ring made by one of the owners and he sized it very quickly for her. I got a fortune card from a machine like in the movie "Big." It told me it was going to, "rain and rain and rain and rain and rain...". Haha--so PDX! read more

This is a great "junk" store with a lot of treasures buried in the dusty clutter. And for once, the sign that says, "Satisfaction Guaranteed," isn't just an empty promise. They actually mean it. I bought a piano for 600 bucks (including delivery) that myself and the proprietor thought was in decent condition. It turned out to need expensive repairs. After some deliberation, I got to keep my money and the piano, which I am free to either repair or give away to someone who'd like to repair it. However, I would still caution against buying a used musical instrument (okay, a piano) from these folks unless you have extensive knowledge of that instrument and are confident that it's in good shape. Or bring someone who does have the proper expertise to check it out first. All that aside, the people who own this shop are helpful and fair in their dealings with customers, and I plan to return again. read more
