Sterling Place

Love Sterling Place. It’s my go-​to place for cool gifts. Plus, even last minute runs down there in an emergency have never failed to have me leaving with mission succeeded and never paying more than I wanted to. Plus, we’ve bought several pieces of furniture (dressers, bookcases, a wall hutch (some at the Atlantic Ave location)) and not only loved them when we saw them but thought they were very reasonably priced. I love the repurposed things they usually have made from industrial printing drawers or photographer’s tables or etc. Always great looking and sturdy, never cheesy or of dubious build.
The owners are great and really care about what they’re doing, and I’m happy to see the new 7^th Ave store open and doing well, it seems. I can honestly say that if I’m in the neighborhood when getting a gift comes up I just go straight there and that’s that.

This is a great store. They have a nice assortment of vintage, repurposed, antique and just generally interesting and beautiful furniture/​housewares. It’s mostly pretty high-​end stuff, so the prices aren’t for the faint of heart, but you get what you pay for here. My wife and I found a great antique/​gothic coat rack with these awesome weathered metal hooks, as well as a neat wine rack constructed from pieces of an actual wine barrel. Both look great in our apt and we consistently get compliments on both.
The store just generally has tons of cool stuff and you’ll probably want a lot of it, though you’ll also probably walk out empty-​handed most times. This is ok though, because the inventory does change and you won’t leave discouraged, unwilling to try again. If you’re anything like me, you’ll probably pop in intermittently, or at least look in the window to make sure that railroad cart turned coffee table that you can’t afford is still there. You know, just in case.

Such a wonderful store. I love to spend time there looking for gifts, and I always find something awesome and unique — half of the time I get something for myself too. The staff is just so nice, and their gift-​wrapping is outstanding. One of my favorite stores in the Slope!

I love that every time I visit Sterling Place, there are lots and lots of new things in the store. Sterling Place is the place to go for unique, vintage, antique gifts. The staff is very friendly and helpful, too.

AMAZING selection of things you never knew you needed and desperately want. I had been struggling to find a thank you gift and Sterling Place was the perfect place to go. They have fun little items (wrapping paper, books, candles, cufflinks) to the more substantial (antique file cabinets, etc.). I would highly recommend if looking for something unique or if your bored and want a fun store to browse.

Very very nice shop! I was pleasantly surprised with all the kool items being offered. I came in looking for something for my wife and ended up eyeing stuff for me. Elisabeth is warm and friendly not pushy or snooty.
This will be a regular spot for me.

Sterling Place is my only gift destination. I have bought for parents, in-​laws, colleagues, significant other, teachers, weddings, etc. Their selection is so extensive, and everything is beautiful. Prices can go from low to high — so any budget can be addressed. Love the store on Atlantic as well, and they have more furniture.

i suffer from bull in a china shop syndrome, so i twisted around the offerings gingerly, and paused in front of the antique wares encased protectively under the glass. it was in this exact spot, that i found the perfect gift for c. (hopefully) they sell a nice variety of gifts and rather expensive stocking stuffers. (those park slope rents are high) it reminded me a bit too much though of restoration hardware sans the furniture, but hey, that’s no mortal crime. they were friendly and helpful and the fragile wares remained unscathed by my blundering clumsiness.
p. s. they sell HAMMONDS candy canes!
