The University Pickers team is fantastic! I’ve gotten multiple killer deals on furniture and local hand made goods over the years. Cindi and Trish are always friendly and eager to help. Highly recommend.

Wife and I love going thrift shopping and searching consignment shops. This place is awesome. In the old Huntsville school building. Stuff for everyone. The operational juke box was super cool. We will definitely be back.

Great store with a variety of vintage and new items, from every time period you can think of. Management is great, vendors are great, and it is a friendly environment to stroll through memory lane, and maybe purchase an item or two that reminds you where you came from and what you love. Lots of events, so get on their email list and enjoy the fun. Great coffee shop too!

Uniquely interesting and collectively fascinating in every aspect. Hard work and thought is expressed in every facet and square ft of the premises. Antique elevator between floors for added elegance.
