Extremely dog friendly you can shop with your pup. There is a little be of everything. Each booth in the big building is set up with different items. Some booths have a variety of items so look closely. Everybody was friendly and happy to help. Seeing when I have an item in my hand they would take it to the front so you didn’t have to carry. Had some really nice furniture, antiques, handcrafted items. I didn’t know about it tell I was leaving but there is also some lockers up front where you can leave you items like purse or backpack and not have to worry about them while your shopping.

We are visiting Albuquerque for a few days and spent our first afternoon visiting antique shops. This was the last shop today as it was open longer on Sundays. Large mall, good variety of booths that were well kept, entire staff wore masks as did every shopper we saw in store. I collect old film cameras, found two fairly rare cameras for fair prices I bought. Staff freindly and helpful. Glad we stopped by. Visited antique stores in Oklahoma and Texas on way our here from Illinois where not a single staff person wore masks so turned around and walked out. Every store we went to today had same excellent mask use and we bought items in three different antique stores.

I love this place, sometimes I browse and find small things - sometimes I find an entire furniture set. Always new stuff and friendly staff.

Huge shop! Great variety! Lovely helpful staff. I have bought some of my most treasured antiques from this shop. Its so large and theres always so much to see. They offer great prices and the booths are so cute (a lot are staged just perfectly). This is definitely my go to thrift / consignment shop!

Many of the booths in this store need a downsizing and cleaning. This place has a very bad smell. The staff will follow you around the entire time I’m assuming so you won’t steal something. I don’t think you would want to steal anything. The items are so overpriced. I went there to see one item I saw on OfferUp and the item was listed for over $100. When I finally found the item I was flabbergasted at how cheap it was and clearly not worth the price. I don’t recommend this place. I was grossed out due to the amount of dust and the horrible smell.

I was here 2 days ago with my husband and children. An older man with a cane followed us all over the store and made us pretty uncomfortable. Im not sure if they had a recent theft issue but his paranoia was definitely apparent and I cant see us returning with such offensive service.I should also add that despite signs all over the store demanding masks be worn, only 1/3 employees actually wore one.Overall- not impressed.

Loved it. Got the coolest old Chinese teapot set and my wife found and awesome ornate box. Service was great. The music they play is oldies from the 40s -60s and we couldn’t help but dance down some of the isles. Will definitely be coming back.

I have always been to this store and i constantly see the over pricing on stuff and the things they have there are way to good to be true. The historical stuff and the collectibles are either fake or to over priced. Every time i saw something cool, i always look it up online to let alone see stuff that are selling for $200-300 cheaper. I seriously dont like the fact that the employees are super judgmental. My friends and I were looking around and they kept following us around the store, they were trying to be sneaky, but it was obvious. If you see something you really like there, you can always find them cheaper online.

Review №21

Most of the time I really enjoy this place. Unfortunately my last visit had a major issue. I was purchasing a few items, one of which was a necklace. A woman was checking me out and two other men were behind the counter. One of the men asked me if I wanted the necklace wrapped. I replied yes and he very obviously begrudgingly did so. After he wrapped it, he chucked it in to the bag with my other purchases. He threw this delicate necklace pretty hard and the thud that is made had me worried. When I got home and opened the necklace it was broken. It was not very expensive, but I was still pretty upset.The other problem that I had was the fact that they had signs both outside and all over inside stating that masks were necessary, yet none of the three workers were wearing masks. I dont feel particularly very strongly about whether masks should be worn or not, but regardless I hate hypocrites. You cant make your customers wear them and then not wear them yourselves. Its not fair.

Very helpful and friendly people. Huge...huge...absolutely huge selection. Everything from 2 booths full of rose glass to a coca cola booth to an old records booth. Seriously, I have NeveR seen such a large selection of collectibles and just old stuff. Prices are about expected, not too many booth owners have overpriced items.This was my first visit and I found a blue carnival glass pedestal candy dish with lid, two salt glazed items and two cigar ashtrays for just over $50. Amazing! I am bringing a friend soon because they have some things she collects too.

The booths here are at a higher standard than most antique malls in Albuquerque. The organization, display, and attention to detail of almost every single corner of the store are really on point. Theres also a nice logical traffic flow where you can browse the entire store in one easy loop and end up back at the entrance.

Our favorite antique mall in Albuquerque - always a very interesting selection and fair prices. (Its particularly good for Mid-Century Modern.) We didnt buy much only because we kept finding breakable and/or heavy things that we didnt want to carry on the plane!

In the cluster of antique malls and stores along this part of Route 66, Antique Specialty mall was one of the larger, better ones. A good mix of smalls, decorative, furniture and clothing. Theres one particularly large booth in the back with a decent selection of Native American/Western items.The staff is super friendly and helpful, quick to open a case. I hope to return soon!

Nothing worse than having the price changed on you at the counter. I think the person manning the register took a liking to my find and wanted it for themselves. So dissapointing. Bad business practice for the shoppers and the vendors. Lesson learned. Theyve lost my business.

This place is great and I used to go there a lot, HOWEVER I got burned a few times with the people at the register not wanting to honor discounts displayed in seller booths. It happened several times and the reasons they gave were different each time but I got sick of feeling swindled and I skip this store now.

I used to spend a lot of money here and I wanted to come back and see it after being out of the state for awhile. We were shopping for about 20 minutes and suddenly this aggressive man said we had to lock our backpack in the locker. I asked if women had to do the same with their purses. He tried to avoid the answer by saying, I dont want to have an argument here. I am offended because this is sexism. Either everyone has to lock their bags or nobody at all. Not just men. I wont be back in this store that I used to enjoy. Rude employees ruined the experience for me.

I called to ask if they would take a look at some items I had from my grandmother. They said they probably wouldnt buy them but I could come down and they would take a look at them. When I got there, they wouldnt even look at them and made me feel dumb for bringing anything newer than the Civil War. Extremely unprofessional and rude. I would NEVER return there and would never recommend anyone I know go there.
