Pittsburgh Antique Shops — Attraction in Castle Shannon

Clean store. Is full of crafts, sages, useless glass, and flea market items. It’s like 80% crafts and maybe 20% antiques which if you’re lucky to find anything that you’d want to buy, know that it will be high priced. We look for more primitive antiques, stoneware, cast iron, and things like that, but there weren’t any. It’s a huge store. You could easily look around for an hour or more. THEY HAVE A RESTROOM INSIDE. THEY USE IT. THIER CUSTOMERS ARE NOT ALLOWED. I WILL NOT BE RETURNING TO THIS STORE. Not everyone is a thief, but everyone does use the bathroom. We live 2 hours away, and are not familiar with the area at all. We left to find a restroom. I ask where the closest one would be. She said she didn’t know. We found one less than a block away. I hate to say anything derogatory and I usually don’t in my reviews, but the people who work here are more on the rude and arrogant side than the kind, glad you’re here...

I have to say this was one of my favorite shops until the new owners took over. Since the new ownership, I’ve been badgered online to take my old photos down (the same items that still exist when you go in). Prices have skyrocketed-a small brass candlestick is $18 at all booths, showing an increase in rent for the space or people just became greedy overnight. They no longer offer a public restroom. If you decide you don’t want something at the counter you’re asked 100 different ways why and a simple “I changed my mind” doesn’t drive the point across that I don’t want the item or I found something else.

They do have a good selection of items, but again, most items are at or above market.

Overall, I’m saddened with how downhill the place went and I wouldn’t recommend. There are tons of local thrifts in Pittsburgh and the surrounding areas that offer much better pricing and a calm,...

Lots of different selection, of all variety, big and small. Two floors. There is furniture, vintage, clothing, paper ephemera, small antique items, books, board games, framed art or prints. The building has an old mill-type feel, wood planks flooring, glass brick wall which looked great with Mid-Century Modern designer colorful glassware. The only negatives are the parking situation, and the traffic congestion on route 88. Restroom facilities are available...
