4.0 of 5 stars. I shop at the Brown Elephant every week. Great stuff although the clothing at times is iffy. Great book, CD, and furniture selection. I wish they had a better purse selection. Parking is good too.

Yelp.com Review - by Beth H.

5.0 of 5 stars. I almost don't want to review Brown Elephant. I love their book section, and I don't want people to snap up the good books before I get there. But the profits go to charity, and it's a great cause,...

Yelp.com Review - by Lisa D.

4.0 of 5 stars. As far as resale goes it is overpriced. They also don't do the whole arrange clothes by color thing. I can't decide if I like this. They do arrange their glassware by color. Confusing. I've been...
