I have been shopping Bauer Brothers since 1971 in St. Paul. I think Donna Bauer and Jeff Jr. are doing a terrific job operating the business!

Have come here a few times, some sort of map or at least a more consistent employee presence in the office would be nice - felt completely alone trying to find my way around. Also, the main door to the rest of the warehouse was locked so we had to find another way around.Prices seem a little.. steep for a lot of the stuff here; especially the things that already need work before they're ready to be put into your house. Honestly, better to use this place when you're looking for something old and specialty and willing to pay for it, rather than an affordable method to help you restore your old home.The place is definitely cool to explore and get lost in - you'll find stuff you didn't even know existed; and I've gone in just to look at stuff and cry at the prices in the past.

My sister and I visited the warehouse today. It was my first time. My sis just kept telling me about great prices and lots of things left behind that we could flip and repurpose.Our wallets were full of cash. We were excited to find some bargains.Unfortunately, that did not happen. We were working with one of the family members. She talked a lot about wanting to be somewhere else. Just not at the warehouse..My sister was looking for fencing material and a sink. We looked at a very rusty wrought iron railing, 8 ft. We asked for a price and she started talking about how special it was. I pointed out the massive amount of rust. She said she would consider that... then she gave my sister a price of $250. We were speechless. We couldn't believe that number. We were expecting something around $75 with room to haggle.NOPE!!! Her price was firm.This woman put so much emotional value to everything! Her pricing was completely out of touch with the real market value. In the end, everything in that warehouse is something no one wanted and needed to unload it. Many household furniture was very outdated and would need a lot of work..I did buy 1 item... I bought a door knob back plate that I found in a box full of random door and drawer hardware. She again points out how special these pieces are and generally are more expensive. She gave me a price of $10 firm. I gave her $11 to cover taxes. She took my money, put it in the cash register and closed the drawer... No intention of giving me any change.My sister and I left all of the "very special " stuff at the warehouse and kept our cash in our wallets.Truth be told, we can go to other salvage businesses and find the same type of things.. for a decent price. Sorry Baur Brothers... you miss out...

There was only one staff member available today and it was impossible to find him because that place is so big. However, you knew when he was close, because, despite it being a public place, he was smoking indoors the entire time, even when conversing with you. It was disgusting.Also, the prices are high. We prefer to reuse and repurpose things. But some items you could buy new for nearly the same price they were asking.

Very rude staff especially the owner. He started yelling at me when I questioned the price of an item. He even cursed me out at one point. Absolute terrible experience. Be aware

One guy was very helpful but then another guy came by at 4:17 and said to get out- he wanted to leave at 4:30. don’t try to come here after work and get something before closing. only 20% of things have prices, it’s dimly lit and cold and in some cases the whole structure is soggy and questionable. want to buy a used marathon water heater for $2000 …roll those dice!otherwise a fun place to look. and, like i said, one guy was great! again, coming here is really rolling the dice!

Very friendly people. Good prices on stained glass windows. Wish that some items up high on first floor had price tags, such as lights. Otherwise a great home store.

I regularly go here to get used radiators for my customers.They always have something that will work for my job.Bauer Bros have a HUGE selection of previously enjoyed building products. The selection is always changing and you will have to go in and walk around to see what they have. Ask for advice on what you are looking for and someone will probably have an answer.

I’ve bought countless doors, sinks, and other fixtures from Bauer Bros. Good product selection, fair prices, and my kind of people.

Bauer Bros is the absolute best place to find architectural salvage. I can (and do) spend hours taking it all in.

Always go to Bauer Bros for materials to restore my 1925 duplex. Never disappointed.

The tile entry floor of our 1925 built duplex had cracked over the years from settling. We had a group level and stabilize it, only to have a tile floor with many missing tiles. Looking at tiles at Bauer Brothers we found the perfect match in size and color to replace those missing and now have a perfect entry floor. Thank you Bauer Brothers for having tiles not available at any tile shop or big box building supply store. This is not the first time I have found great building products here from years ago and I am sure it won't be my last.
