What clients say about City Salvage in Minneapolis (MN)
Cool space with a few things you might not be able to find elsewhere. Some items not for sale and many without any info. Still a cool place that may have what you’re searching for. Some stained glass, lamps and molding but not much quantity. Enjoy!
Relatively small collection of odd used items. There are lamps, decorations, hardware, and a motorcycle. It's priced very well so if you're able to find what you want it would be like finding a treasure!
What a gem! It's not a huge huge place, but I found what I was looking for right off and it was reasonably priced. Two really nice people working that absolutely made it worth visiting.
This place doesn't have much to offer and what they do have is so cluttered you can't access most of it. Went there looking for some doors and trim which is all stored in the basement. You walk down the stairs and it feels eerily like you're entering a basement that you see in a horror film. Doors and trim packed so tight with barely enough room to check them out let alone pull something out to inspect it.
Been trying to go here for weeks but they are never open during the hours they say they are.
It also says that they are maybe open Wednesdays instead of giving specific hours. Looks like a great little store, I would just like to know if there is a secret way to find out if they are open.
A very cozy shop with a wide variety of architectural salvage (old house parts) to suit your needs! Including a basement full of nice old doors...
Edit: Sadly, what other reviewers have said about the unpredictable hours is true. I have tried calling all day (1-7-2021) to no avail, so I finally stopped by on my way to another store, and it was all dark and locked. And there wasn't any note on the door indicating when or if anyone would be returning. This is not the first time this has happened to me over the years. I think perhaps the business owner needs to offer their mobile number as their official business number so that people calling ahead can reach them even if they are out and about at the time. And the business hours here on Google need to be updated accordingly. I would love to support this charming business, but unfortunately I can't spend time chasing after an elusive time slot of actual open hours....
They weren't open despite it being in the middle of their hours. I was really looking forward to going in and checking them out. Maybe another time.
EDIT: I see City Salvage's response. This is inaccurate. I tried to stop by in September of 2019. This review was written in December of 2019. COVID-19 was not the issue.
Regardless of why they were closed during business hours, they should have put up a sign. I may still stop in when I'm in town and we're not in a pandemic.
Can't really give an accurate review of the place. The two times we visited here during business hours the place was still closed. Apparently it's only really open when the owner decides its open.
Friendly staff, large selection for old doors and door hardware, also had some impressive bars/diner counters! Prices seemed a bit high on some items but worth it for the right item! I’d give 4.8 if I could :)
There during open hours, sign said open, not open. Can't imagine what the store is like if they can't get the basics rights.
-Edit-
See owner's passive aggressive response? Clearly they care /s
Cool stuff, good prices on stained glass and leaded glass windows. Only drawback was the somewhat small inventory. Worth a look if you are in the area.
If you are looking for restoring a house and/or good antiques this is a good place to go. Lots of stained glass windows and many great doors to choice from along with many other items. 3 floors of items.
Posted they open at 11. No one showed up until after 12. Talked to several people and was told it was always like that, they showed up when they felt like it.
Don't trust these sellers. We had expressed interest in a large item that we were going to pick up the next morning. It was a nice young guy that we dealt with. We called the night before they closed to confirm, and we got there when they opened the next morning. -It was Gone!!! When asked the white guy with the Huge dreadlocks, he paused and gave us a Lame excuse that it was picked up between closing the night before and opening the doors the morning of. Total Scam job that he pulled on us! We were promised by the younger guy that it was on hold on not going anywhere and Not to worry! So we drove all the way there for nothing but a Horrible experience to say the Least! Don't trust what you are told by them! That employee needs to be gone from that shop. Not kind.
The owner is seriously just one of the greatest guys you'll ever meet. The selection is second to none and the space is very cool. They will have motorcycle related shows once in a while as well. Just all around good guy, good people and good stuff.
You can find some awesome deals for your vintage remodel here. I always check them out before going anywhere else. There are also some very unique pieces floating around that you won't find anywhere else; that's what makes combing this place so fun.
I have been looking for an unusual door size to install at my home.
Jennifer helped me find the perfect door & she was spot-on when I asked her to help me find a fixture for my entry way and a few hardware pieces I needed for my new bathroom.
City Salvage is a great resource weather you are going into a new / old / home / condo / house / apt.
Highly REC!!!!
