Helpful staff and variety of items. Never had a bad experience and always walk out with something cute.

Plato's Closet in Coralville is a nice, clean, well-stocked consignment store with friendly employees. Clothing items are organized by size and color. With a focus on clothing, the store doesn't have the sprawling clutter of larger consignment stores with many types of products. Because they specialize in clothing, it seems like the quality and selection are better than general purpose consignment stores.

Pros is that they have probably one of the best plus sized selection of thrift stores in the area.Cons are the dressing rooms are pretty bad and the staff are cold/dismissive to me every time I go in. Definite mean girl vibes; I always thought it was because I’m trans but after reading other reviews it’s probably because I don’t fit the sorority girl image that the majority of the staff seems to have (or it’s both, who knows)Great place to shop if you like it when a bunch of basic Beckys in forgettable fast fashion fits look down on you.

Staff isn't super friendly. Get kind of a mean girl vibe. Give pennies to the dollar.

One of the few places I've been body shamed. The staff didn't even acknowledge me when I came in. It was like pulling teeth to get a dressing room. Then as I went to check out they stared at me instead of coming to check me out. They were quick to greet and help the smaller sized, young girls coming in. Snotty girls who definitely need a reality check. I will not return. Bad taste in my mouth.

I just want to say, I had the BEST experience I’ve ever had clothing shopping thanks to Maddy and Haley! I will be coming back, often. These girls made my wife and I feel so welcome and comfortable. I’ve never met them but it felt like talking with old friends. Thank you so much ladies for making this a great experience, see you soon!

This place is kinda a hit or miss in my opinion, but they really do make sure their clothes are in season/in style. One thing many people wish is that they would have mirrors around the stores and better mirrors in their dressing rooms and I couldn’t agree more. I hear this complaint every time I come in for a visit. Get better mirrors please! ;)

Never take any clothes I bring in. Always giving the minimum and I have brought in 2-3 bins and they only give me $25. They told me some of my stuff was pilled and couldn’t take but everytime I look around their store, everything seemed pilled, has holes, or is discolored. Some of my stuff is brand new from Windsor, Fabletics, PINK, Lululemon, and more. Be better Plato’s Iowa City.

Honestly, Walmart has cuter, cheaper, NEWER, clothes. Plato's employees get first pick at all the items that come in. I also had the Plato's Closet Instagram page repeatedly request to follow me after MULTIPLE declines....? Almost got to the point of stalking.... ( i dont personally know anyone at all who works there) & it started happening after trying to sell them some clothes.... which means they got my name and info off of my ID i had to let them see.

Less than impressed. Got barely nothing for never worn coats. Way too picky about things.

I wanted to purchase 2 sweatshirts that were exactly the same except for color. Same brand name-one was green for $10.00 and peach one $8.00–not sure why a difference in price. I noticed a stain on the the wrist of the green one. I asked if I could get a discount on it. Her reply was 10%—a whole $1.00. She then said snotty “or we can just put it in the disposable pile” and she threw in a pile with some other clothes. I don’t know what she expected-like I was going to jump on that big $1.00 savings? I turned her down and bought the peach one only. I wanted to say you really don’t expect me to pay more for the dirty one-new price $9.00-than the clean one $8.00? How stupid. How about a 30% discount to make it below the other one? She needs customer service skills. She was rude.

I used to shop here a while ago and I didn’t have any issues. I went back recently and I don’t know if management or ownership changed, but it isn’t what it use to be.Things have become more expensive than retail price. I saw a few things with retail tags on them that showed they were cheaper in store than at Plato’s. I’ve had items price adjusted before and was told there’s nothing that can be done this time. I was fine with that I just didn’t get the items. It was when I heard the staff talking about it again behind the counter it felt more disrespectful.If you shop here please do your research on items before you buy. There’s Walmart clothes I found there that Walmart sold for $7.98 and this location was selling for $8. Literally a tiny bit more than full retail price. Shirts for $12 that use to be $9.They’ll probably take the tags off those items now and keep them at the same price. It isn’t worth it. Ripping off college students at that too.

I LOVE this store! Recently shopped there and had the best experience. Staff was so friendly and helpful. The selection of clothes was amazing! I even found a brand new pair of jeans valued at $60 for $20! Love a great deal! Thank you for a wonderful shopping experience!

I have bad social anxiety, so when arriving at the store to sell, I dropped off my bins with my partner who went through the buying process with me and left the store. When coming back to pick up my clothes I was by myself and was scammed out of a pair of limited edition blazer sneakers. I am often in there and the Cedar rapids location buying and selling and I felt astonished that they did that and would try and argue with me about the price of the shoe. I had bought those for 300$ retail and they gave me 15 for them and they were worn once. I hate this place and the way they stack and scam against you. Please hire people who don’t wear Victoria secret or Rue 21

Absolute best staff. They have a terrific team who work well together and the managers/owners are incredible! Great products and trendy new outfits!
