The Attic

I have consigned several times at the attic. I’ve been very happy with the owners. I owned and operated my own consignment shop for six years. So I know the drill.
They price items to sell them not to have them sit around. When I asked them to reduce the price of something of mine to make it move they did it immediately and the item sold!
I would recommend this shop to consigners and buyers.

I will never go back to this shop! I never write reviews but wanted to warn people against wasting their time going to this store. Not only are the items ridiculously over priced, but the people working were sooo rude. I feel like they went out of their way to be rude. There are so many other cute antique stores in the area, don’t waste your time on this one!

It would be WISE, CONSIDERATE and most of all, PROFESSIONAL to make your current and potential customers aware that you are NO LONGER located at 418 N. Milpas Street. As a fellow business owner on Milpas Street, it is ABSOLUTELY annoying, frustrating and troublesome to constantly tell people of your new location. We have called your store to make you aware of this issue but, obviously, it is falling on deaf ears due to your apathy.
If you operated in a professional manner:
1. You would not have to move your business location on a regular basis
2. Change the name
3. Most importantly, you would willingly and gladly make all your customers aware of your new venue.
So, for those of you who dare to enter this establishment, they are NOW located at:
614 NORTH MILPAS STREET
SANTA BARBARA, CA 93 103

Nope. Nope. Nope.
I was excited to go in this shop since I’ve passed by it in my car for ages. I decided to stop by and it was… not what I expected.
I think the stuff in there was pretty much 2 (to possibly 3) star worthy, though some of it was overpriced and banged up.
Mostly, I’m giving this place a one star because they were so incredibly unfriendly. I was the only person in the store and I walked in with a smile, but also my normal low-​key self. Both of the people in there (a middle aged man and woman) completely ignored me, despite the fact that they were just sitting there doing nothing. They weren’t talking to each other, they weren’t doing ANYthing. Except ignoring me.
Normally, I wouldn’t mind so much… I don’t like overzealous, hovers type salespeople or shop owners. But it was painfully obvious how unfriendly they were because I was the only person in there. I did walk around for a while and it was so quiet in there you could hear a pin drop. I walked past them again and the man kind of raised his brows and nodded in my direction, but the woman just looked at me and frowned, even when I walked past her and smiled. She was just sitting there, doing nothing.
This place is a great example of how you only get to make a first impression once. I won’t be back and I certainly won’t encourage anyone else to go in and get scowled at, either.
