THE REFINDERY ON MCCALLIE — Local services in Chattanooga

I can't say enough about how interesting and delightful this place is, You can get lost in a sea of vintage treasure for hours. Every piece makes me smile. Items are well displayed, and there is a find in store for any style of decor. This is a great place to shop if you are looking to turn any room in your home into a conversation piece in itself! But...... customer service? Ahhh, not so great. ( At least not for ME🍫) Upon entry, which was at opening, The associate (s) at the register did not greet me, I fact, I greeted THEM upon entry and was unaware at how dry the word "HELLO" could be🤔??? fast forward. .was quoted a price on a. Item only to have another person say they it was "too low," but she gave it to me anyway at the quote..... begrudgingly ( I thank her for that) then told the associate to give me the "CHEAPEST BAG" 😱😱😂😂😂 RUDENESS beyond compare. I still love the place, I have had a couple if good experiences and spent some good money in there. Have bragged about the place and even sent friends in to check them out. Won't let one BAD APPLE spoil the tree, this place still...

I was hooked before I got out of the car. Just seeing the salvaged home building materials outside was all it took. Inside, the explorer in me was fascinated. I would still be there right now if not for "life". I am 56 years old, and I found so many memories from my childhood scattered among the thousands and thousands of items that I was taken back in time. This is almost a museum with price tags on the exhibits. I found antiques that had been manufactured as well as had been made by hand, one-of-a-kind crafts and furnishings. New old stock. Plenty of genuine distressed building materials, wooden, metal, hardware etc. Just looking around gave me ideas for some crafts of my own. Signs, soft drink bottles, electronics, comics, recordings, photos, lions, tigers, and bears oh my. Even if you are not into these things, please visit. You may...

This store is absolutely fascinating. If you are into old things made new again, unique folksy/boho style, or if you're just looking for that super cool piece to complete a room, this is the place to go. Refurbished and original antique furniture, decor, art, and cool old clothes can be found here. They even have old unfinished wood, barn doors, and unique hardware if you are looking to complete a refurbishing project of a piece yourself! There are little sort of cubbyholes all through the store that have specific local peoples' work in them, so you're supporting local art if you shop here, which is pretty cool too! I have no affiliation with the store, I just wandered through it and was impressed by the idea of it and by some of the neat things that have been made or "re-found" locally....
