| - My favorite place in Charlotte to go furniture shopping. It is big, but there are maps, and friendly people to explain the maps to you. Obviously with antique malls what you might find in there is always a gamble, but The Sleepy Poet almost always has fabulous finds tucked away in a corner here or there, you just have to find them. There is always fresh complimentary popcorn in the front also.
The only thing that throws me off from the 5th star is some of the pricing..it's weird because some things that seem like they would be worth a lot more are very cheap, reasonable, and you feel like you are getting a lucky deal. On the other hand sometimes I have complete sticker shock when I check out the price on a particular item. Then again, that's kind of the fun of it.
I usually go in search of furniture and home goods, but there are TONS of cool vintage records, mags, clothing, shoes, jewelry, etc. It is definitely a place to go if you are looking for a little something for the "girl/guy that has everything."
Go when you have time, as it is easy to get consumed by its vastness. And it's really fun to allow yourself to do so..
