Ever see that old 80's show "Friday the 13th"? With the cursed artifacts and creepy monkey? Yeah, that place is real.And it is way cooler than the show. Honestly, things are priced at a reasonable level for all of the goods offered.  Everything from old tube radios, to zippos and stop signs.  It is the variety here that you could probably spend hours sorting through everything which has its own oddball kind of organizational structure.It is cramped, I must say.  So you are having to be careful if there are more than a few people in the area, you are having to be careful not to upend one thing or another.Give this place a go, you might find a hidden gem in here.

Really good stuff, really great people. I found a fantastic plant stand but didn't know how I would get it home. The owner gave me a box, stuffing, and printed me a label so I could drop it off at the post office! Amazing service and a fantastic store. Truly a little bit of everything, fair (honestly very affordable) prices. Would recommend this treasure of a store! More...

This is a Portland MUST SEE if you like antiques! I got lost in here for over an hour and came out with 2 vintage cameras, an alarm clock, flashlight and some other gadgets all from between the 1960s-1970s. The store owner Evan spoke to me about all of the pieces I got. As a bonus, the store is in a super trendy area with tons of shops other antique stores, tea, coffee shops, food truck park, and other things to see. Highly recommend! More...

My favorite store for finding cool, rare, vintage stuff and junk (junk in a good way). The owner Evan is friendly and fair, he buys stuff too. The cat is kinda friendly, typical aloof cat. Barney the dog is sweet beyond words. The store is jam packed and new stuff is brought in frequently. More...

Walking down Hawthorne, I saw this store with a bunch of cool stuff sitting of the store. Walking in, I was not prepared for what was inside. This is like a cool grandma's hoarding house, where the arrangement of things feels like an amusement park or museum. Some of the aisles are quite narrow, so be aware if the store looked crowded. I dont want to list everything that they have, but if you are nearby, make sure to check it out. More...

My son and I visited Portland and this was our favorite shop.  Totally awesome!  All of the other antique shops were mostly furniture and clothes and lamps.  This is your TRUE antique and eclectic shop!  Wide range of items, and fun to walk through.  My son rates it the highest of anyplace in Portland.  Yes, it is packed full of stuff, but that is the best part.  We also saw the cat chilling on a chair.  Great owner and great shop!  We love the antique wind up clock my son bought.  Gotta love the shop that has a ton of random items and stuff!  Rock on "Really Good Stuff"!

A great place to spend an afternoon; it's full of lots and lots of interesting stuff. The owners are cool guys, easy to talk to. My friend picked up a ring made by one of the owners and he sized it very quickly for her. I got a fortune card from a machine like in the movie "Big." It told me it was going to, "rain and rain and rain and rain and rain...". Haha--so PDX! More...

This is by far my favorite antique/treasure shop around. It was the first one I tried, and it gave me such high hopes for the treasure digging I could do here in Portland! After visiting about 10 more antique stores, I found that none compared. Really Good Stuff is way more reasonably priced than the other antique stores I've found here, the prices are sometimes negotiable, and the owner is very kind and fun to talk to. Also, there is a cat lounging around that you can nuzzle. Keep in mind, it is kind of a jungle inside, so you may have to do some digging. More...

Simone, you are a truly talented photographer and captured some beautiful moments for our family! We had many odds against us that day and you kept everyone calm and optimistic and sure enough you were right. We couldn't have gotten better photographs with vivid colors and perfect images. You have a special gift and were so amazing with the kids too. More...

I love this place. I wanted something unique that I could modify to house the most obnoxious thing in my  life - MY CATS' LITTERBOX. Perhaps a piece of furniture, a vanity, an old hi-fi... I ended up finding the greatest old cedar-lined steamer trunk at RGS. When I shared my grand vision of getting my bathroom back and putting this thing out as furniture, Evan of RGS offered to cut an arch in one end and clean it up a bit for me - which he did perfectly. HAPPY HAPPY JOY JOY! We now have this uber cool vulcanized rubber and brass trunk under the window in our living room. My slightly smaller litter box (about a third the trunk's size) is inside which is also precisely where all the litter stays, too. My cats are totally rockin the casbah with this thing, thanks to Really Good Stuff and it's fine staff!  (Coincidentally, the previous trunk owner's name was on the trunk so I googled her to learn she was a US NAVY nurse during WWII, and seemed to be a very cool person. She lived not far away from us and died on Feb 4. Somehow we think she'd be OK with this repurposing. We framed her black and white photo and she now sits regally atop her lovely old trunk :.)

Shopping in this store is like browsing through your grandma's attic. There are so many treasures and trash all crammed into a confined space. It isn't a bad thing though. I loved it! At times it was hard to walk around without bumping into things (as spaces can be tight), so women....leave your large purses/bags at home! They sell a lot of really old, unique things here and the prices on some things didn't seem way sky high. But some things were more than what I would pay for. There was a cute cat just lounging around on table tops, which I thought was just adorable! They sell all sorts of things here, from vintage tea cups, to old coca cola bottles (with liquids still inside)! It was a great place to browse! More...

Wow there's a lot of stuff in there!!!It should be called "Really Awesome Stuff."  There was a huge cutout of Roger Rabbit in the back, and I really wanted it but not so sure why.  I glanced at a few prices on furniture, and prices looked very reasonable.  I'm sure there are some great treasures in there, and I'd go back if I need stuff for my apartment later.

I went in here for some Christmas shopping and not only did they help out, but they created my dream gift right there! Custom made elephant-shaped cutting board within 15 minutes!

I love Really Good Stuff. I love Tommy the cat and Molly the dog. The people who work there are cool and willing to haggle if you don't low ball them. There is something there for everyone. I've bought jewelry, clothing, furniture , books and all manner of cookware, ceramics. They have a great selection of guitars and other instruments. Brian, the jeweler who works in the front does excellent repair work, sized an Edwardian jade ring for me, made a pendant out of an agate I salvaged from a wind chime and custom made a bracelet for me. He is remarkable! Look, their stuff is not just good, it's great! Just go. More...

Amazing spot full of awesome trinkets, jewelry, instruments, etc. One of the best antique shops I've ever been to!

The back room here was one of my all-time favorite vintage store experiences.  There are some genuinely awesome treasures here -- an old multi-instrument player piano in working condition, vintage arcade and gambling machines (as in 1940s, not 1970s), a painting of a woman with a horse head, old carvings and other art from Thailand and China.  This probably isn't the best place to go if you're looking for something in particular, but it's a great place to discover things you didn't know you wanted.

Really awesome junk spot! The guy who runs it is super friendly and gives sweet deals. Great finds, but you will have to dig a shimmy through tight spots. Last time I came by they just got a 1920's Player Piano, super creepy and I've been keeping my eye on a sick 1950's pink dentist chair and a hair dryer haha. Lots of cool instruments, furniture and just weird random "good stuff". I bought a sweet little red raincoat More...

If you want an orderly, fancy antique store, this place is not for you. If you love digging (literally) for treasure then you can't get better than here. The inventory is constantly changing, moving, and disappearing. Great place to get random junk for projects, pick up a missing part to that doo-dad you have, or finding a weird random Christmas present. They also have some amazing furniture in their back room (which requires you to be fairly nimble to weave around) and cool old bicycles in various states of repair. There's always something to look at, something to find, and something to buy.The staff is friendly, although not in a corn-syrupy kind of way, and will usually work with you on prices. I dropped a tiny pin on their floor once and they said if I found it I could have it for free (and I did!)The man who makes amazing jewelry in the corner sized my engagement ring for a bargain, too.

This place is part museum, part vintage shop, part thrift, part episode of Hoarders. (The crafty kind of hoarders, not the creepy rat-infested hoarders. ) Still, I wouldn't say Really Good Stuff is for the faint of heart. Mind you, they certainly do have a lot of really good stuff, but it requires a hearty amount of patience and intent, as well as free time on your hands, coins in your pocket, and a commitment to haggle. I've uncovered some amazing treasures under the rubble. More...

Definitely messy, things are just piled all over the place. They ask for your backpack but it's not for security - it's so you don't end up bumping into (and knocking over! ) anything. Even though things aren't as well presented and pretty as Lounge Lizard a couple doors down, just spend some time here and you will find some amazing treasures. The highlights:- An old dental chair from the 50's - pink, leather, full of scary looking tools.- Guitars for only about $60! A little out of tune, but my friend and I jammed for a little bit and hey they worked.- Super old school video games - think an asteroid/brick type game where your spaceship is made of 3 pixels.There is also a big cat roaming around.

I love these type of places. This store is a treasure hunt! If you are not careful, you will waste HOURS in this wonderful store. Lots of everything, LPs, 45s, clothing, vintage music items, postcards, magazines, many bottles, signs, photos of unknown people :D, and a BUNCH of 16mm educational films! The man was quite nice, and they do have a lot of business even for a place with extremely narrow walkways full of treasure! Did get to see the cat (Tommy) in the back, resting. Parking was not easy at all (Labor Day Weekend of course) so had to park a block away. The other reviewer probably went on a normal weekend. More...

Perhaps the last authentic treasure-hunting joint in PDX. Love this place, but then I love the hunt. As to overpriced comments, well, I bought a blaupunkt radio for $10 and sold it on eBay for $175. So, know your stuff. As for the two comments on rudeness...  I've been here probably 20-30 times, and never had a rude word. Great staff who treat you like you're a human being, and may actually know something. I Find it interesting that both of these negative assessments were from out of towners. Perhaps you were expecting the lowly clerk to fawn over you in the hopes that you'd drop $5. Golden rule, indeed. More...

This place is rad.  It's so full of treasures and not the most organized, so make sure to dedicate time to dig through everything (and take mini breaks outside along the way for fresh air).  I found a pair of iron legs from an old singer sewing machine that I wanted but needed a table top.  The guys at the shop found an extra piece of finished wood they had, cut it to the exact specifications I wanted, and assembled the table on the spot at the shop.  And best part?  The table legs, the table top and the assembly were only $35.  WOW.  Talk about awesome experience!  The shop owners are super knowledgeable about antiques and helpful if you have any questions.  Plus the shop kitty is too cute.  I will definitely be back!

I freaking love this place. It's not vintage for irony's sake, it's vintage for 'I have a hardon dedicated to the stuff that I grew up with'. And when your father was a collector of stuff from /his/ childhood (the 1940s), you end up with a distaste for the brightly-colored mid-century modern kitsch that fills every other store.RGS wins because they always have what I'm looking for (be it a dusty tube radio or a small electric fan from the 20s) and the guys that work there somehow know where everything is. I'm pretty sure the younger guy is psychic, or maybe he's got X-ray vision like Superman. This place will always be my first stop when I'm on the hunt for a new treasure for my place. More...

Mostly overpriced, yes.  Dusty and claustrophobia-inducing, yes.  Overwhelming, yes - but in a fantastic way.  In other words, it's like almost every other vintage store in Portland. .. It's next to Lounge Lizard which makes for an interesting juxtaposition.  I wasn't looking for anything in particular so I can't report on the helpfulness of the staff.  There were plenty of them around, though, and they did leave us alone to wander and admire.  And the music equipment selection was pretty impressive.Definitely look for Tommy if you go.  His favorite seats are easy to spot...
