nice place

A very interesting place, but usually crowded and WAY overpriced. I like going there just to browse and look around.

Charming!!
Posted by inuxvomica on 05/29/2007
Absolutely my favorite place we visited in Austin. So much to look at..it's absolutely a vintage/thrift store junkies dream come true. I loved how everything was displayed..such an eclectric group of things arranged in such a harmonic way. I bought a really neat vintage pirate bank and a glass syringe for a friend who collects old medical supplies. I highly recommend taking an hour or so to explore.

Superior Selection
Posted by nuckkol on 02/15/2006
The knowledgeable staff know how to help collectors and looky-loos. The prices are better than most shops of this type. I am always happy with their chalk items. Old photographs, pictures, postcards, posters & frames are amazing. The jewelry, lamps, furniture, clothes , books & toys are must haves. The store has been my favorite for decades. Now, it is better organized, well light and often, items are grouped by color, genre or era. I'm not gonna mention the McCoy pieces-oops! My Sis & Mom from East Texas visit just to shop here. If you don't shop here, more's the better for me & mine. I LOVE THE STORE! And Steve, well he is the best! New items arrive all the time.

Perfect Spot!
Posted by Jennifer C. on 11/28/2005
So many antiques under one roof! You will certainly find a gift for anyone that you are looking for. You can spend hours in here. Check back often to see what new things they have gotten in.With the many shops on South Congress, this one certainly stands out. I have found many things here for others and recommend it to everyone.

Old Fashioned atmosphere, reasonable prices!
Posted by Alamo W. on 10/12/2005
Walking into this place is like walking into the past! The store has room after room of collectibles, clothing, signs and things your parents grew up with. The prices are so reasonable and there is something for everyone. The staff is helpful and knowledgeable and go out of their way to help you find the perfect addition to your home or gift. This is truly a fantastic antique store with an old fashioned feel.

What a cool store
Posted by schleel on 09/30/2005
The word 'awesome' is bandied about too frequently,but this place really does inspire awe. It is huge,and has literally thousands upon thousands of rare,unique or just bizarrely prefect articles. Helped by the ambience-great music,amazingly cool staff whose genuine love of old and beautiful things is very apparent,water for your dog on a hot day (from a vintage china bowl no less!),sodas in a vintage cooler,topical and political window displays from decades of junk made art...not your mom's antique mall.

Not your typical antiquestore
Posted by keepaustinweerd on 01/25/2004
From the exquisitely beautiful (provincial French furniture,Victorian jewelry,fine antique china) to the funky (vintage cowboy boots,50's dresses,tiki lounge accessories) and the downright bizarre (1940's anatomy charts,glass eyes,fauxfur couches) this is THE place to be.

The Best of the Hard To Find
Posted by Jack_Green on 11/17/2002
I've been a customer of Uncommon Objects for years, and have always been very happy with what they have. No matter what I'm looking for (and I've looked for some odd items), they either have it, or know where to find it. The staff are always helpful and reflect the wonderful atmostphere which is "South Congress". Everytime I come in, D'Ette (sp?), Steve, et al always make it a point to say "Hello" and ask how my family is. Uncommon Objects reflects what I wish more businesses would do in this world. Customer Service, above and beyond the call of duty. Keep up the great work, gang!!!!
