The Red Shed

This wasn’t the place for me.
It was very narrow, packed with ‘junk’ and a small selection, at that.
Go ahead and stop by, but it’s not a destination.

It’s really small and half of the space is used for storage cutting down even more floor space. The framed pictures and prints in the back were the highlight of my visit. Really cool stuff that I would’ve bought if I had any space on my walls!

With all the cute signage for Red Shed, I expected something better. It was totally meh. They have a lot of knick knacks, but not that much useful stuff. It is also quite small compared to the behemoths in the area.

The shop is small, the merchandise selection is so-​so, and I feel like it can’t compete with the other West Bottoms shops surrounding it. They need to fill it with more things to sell, whether that’s finding a couple vendors to help out or going to more auctions. For the few things I picked up, I thought the prices seemed high, though not terrible if it’s something you’ve been searching for. Also, when you get there, watch out for the step. You step up to enter through the door and again when you exit.
I’m torn between two stars or three. The lady at the counter was sweet, helpful, and welcoming. I visited when it first opened in October, and again in January — but, being the first to review, I hate to knock it down before it’s had a chance to succeed. It’s a good location — ground level, so you don’t have to climb a dozen flights of stairs. I want to see them make this store better.
