This place is absolutely adorable!ATMOSPHERE is gonna be like your grandma's messy living room + organized garage/attic. It's a lot of fun to poke around and see all the "things" folks have left behind, wonder about the stories behind all of them. The aisles are wide enough my disabled family and I can walk through comfortably, but there are some corners that can make you feel like a bull in a china shop.PRICES are very fair. Most of the knickknacks here are for your bookshelf or china behind a glass display collection, but there's truly such a variety and they're all still within a bidenomics budget. PARKING is in a plain gravel driveway, very roomy and not difficult to navigate. It's fenced in and easy to get in and out of from South Blvd.Most of the outing is for the lazy Sunday hangout experience. We like going after a nice brunch or coffee with friends, and just shoot the breeze as we look through fascinating "old stuff" at the Sleepy Poet. Highly recommend :).

Anything and everything that you can think of is here at SP. This huge antique mall is a treasured gem in Charlotte. I have loved this place since I moved here in 2005. You can bet some really great deals and unique one of a kind finds for a great price. Now some pieces have a hefty price tag but there's usually a reason for that. Plan to spend about an hour or two here to really enjoy everything. I stumbled across some dope vinyls, earrings and this really cool vintage wood school table chair that I plan on using a a plant stand. You are free browsing the store but they do have really nice and helpful people that can assist with large items or questions

This was our first visit to the Sleepy Poet at their new location. We enjoyed looking at their selection of vinyl, vintage art, cookbooks, and oddities. Found a Phish show print and made a show box with our tickets. We found a vintage concrete mold to hang in our living room.

You'll be wide awake as you meander through this huge antique mall! It's stocked with aisles and aisles of vendor booths! As soon as I walked in, through the book room and the vinyl record shop, I found this Sadler teapot that had my name on it! It was priced right and it was a steal! They have carts and baskets available to carry all your treasures! There's a little cafe inside for you to grab a snack, and a beverage and have a rest while you're shopping! I wasn't the least bit sleepy as I perused the rows and rows of vintage China and pottery, glassware, garden ware, toys, games, collectibles, vintage clothing - purses - hats - shoes, dolls, antique furniture, jewelry, lladro figurines, lamps, urns, country decor, and tons more! I checked out easily like a summers breeze, and the cashier was friendly and sweet! Here's a little poem for the Sleepy Poet Antique Mall: I loved shopping at the Sleepy Poet Antique MallThey have amazing antiques for one and for allYour eyes will pop wide open at every cool stallThis place is filled with treasures wall to wallWith so many things to see, no sleep will befallAntique lovers of Charlotte, it's their true wake-up call!

Wonderful business, up-front friendly Staff, spacious aisles, background music and items of everything you could possibly imagine!!Recommend: Absolutely.One of the only locations I've seen across the US that has an impressive collection of Telephones dating over a century in age and ALL WORK! Lots of nostalgia here. Additionally an overall, very orderly, designed stalls with well marked numbered walkways. From 60's designed lamps, to lamps made out of a movie projector to a 6' tall 'Coca-Cola' bottle, this place will entertain you for quite a while for browsing. Comfortable atmosphere for sure and we'll lit.Please go take a look!

Incredible service with sweet and helpful employees. There's a wide selection of antiques and knickknacks appealing to both amateur hobbyist and professional antiques. The mall has good parking and a very large space filled with things to look through. It was like Disney for antiques. I purchased a small trinket box and was pleased with the price and quality, great value for your dollar. It can get a bit cramped in certain stalls/areas but nothing too atrocious. They have toys books clothes decor furniture tools, cooking utensils jewelry and even more. Overall something for everyone with a coffee shop to boot.

The Sleepy Poets Antique mall is a very interesting place. As you enter, most of the antiques are to your immediate left. In addition, there are two stalls in the building where rocks/fossils/minerals are for sale. If you like looking at antiques, especially in the Charlotte area, I recommend this place.

Large place with a great vintage vinyl selection. Some stuff I found to be pricey but there is literally something for everyone. Also there's a big parking lot and it was very easy to find.
