I went in and felt discouraged initially. The first floor was mostly old frames. But then o was informed to go up the entire five stories. I wasn’t let down.This place is FULL of great finds! Just a couple of shots of my favorites

I went here while visiting last year because I love to check out antique shops when I travel. Such an amazing collection of stuff. The owner clearly has a love for what he does. People are complaining about having to dig but that’s the beauty of this place. You could spend hours in here digging for treasure. The items he has are rare so obviously will be a bit pricey. I hope to go back soon.

The company uniforms say it all. Don’t expect a deal, and don’t expect a fair price when selling them anything. The owner will rip you off. Shop eBay and get anything you want in that store for a fraction of their prices.

Baruch is a great guy and knows his stuff. If you ever have any questions about paintings are antiques he would definitely be the one to ask. He even came down and appraise some of my paintings at my store.Crown antiques is a treasure, and there are floors of adventure there, literally 😁. Seriously, plan to be there for hours because there is so much to look at, and the prices are reasonable.

Great place to visit with lots of neat things. The owners are remarkably intelligent and were very helpful. If you are looking to sell, you can expect a low offer though. But, they buy worthwhile items and pay cash.

Review №12

Exceptionally high prices, although some very rare items. The condition of the items does not warrant the prices though. You can find better a better deal on ebay. Be prepared to dig through literal piles boxes and stacks. It is a true shame how these pieces are treated. It looks like more of a hoarding situation than a store.

Five floors of an incredible selection of antiques, hard to find keepsakes - this shop is a place when you can find just about anything that you could imagine. Meeting the owner Mr. Hyman, was an honour that I will treasure the most. We spoke of my family history, which I have been trying to find information on that has been very difficult. He offered some resources, shared in his personal family experiences, what an absolute joy to meet this gentleman. Im very grateful for Mr. Hymans counsel, fellowship and friendship. His store is an absolute must stop for anybody seeking hard to find antiques of all kinds, and decades.

Delightful store chock full of stuff. I see people complaining about the disorganization, but there are two types of stores — super clean and sparse, or chock full and a fun treasure hunt. This store caters to that second group of folks who like to dig around and hunt. Owner is very nice.

A cute place with a lot of cool antiques! If you are looking for something you can probably find it here. Lots of rare and interesting items! My favorites are the old typewriters, artwork, and jewelry. I always find something new every time I walk in. If you dont mind digging for treasures and you like a history lesson, this is the place for you!

My favorite antiques store in the area. If your looking for a 4,000 year old pot from the Holy Land, they have it. If you are looking for cool Pittsburgh history, its inside. My advise is to give yourself plenty of time because you have to dig to find stuff. If you are a picker or a treasure hunter, this place is for you.

Review №17

Huge selection, just dont expect to leave with clean hands or a great deal. Prices are retail and the owner knows his stuff, well mostly. He does negotiate on his high prices, but I guarantee you wont out haggle him, you can try, and its a lot of fun to do so, just dont get frustrated and be respectful to the guy. Good luck.I have been her a few times and have never made it through all the floors, I tend to get stuck in one area and explore too long there without moving around to see the other levels.Again, dont go there with clothes on that you dont want to get dirty.

If you are looking for Antiques this is the most awesome store in Pittsburgh. If your selling antiques Baruk is the man to talk to he is awesome and gives the best prices around.

Don’t even waste your time stopping in and looking around, yes theirs lots of stuff (to much) and some good stuff. But nothing is priced and when you ask the owner his prices are 2 to 4 times what retail is or the true value of the item is worth. Not a single deal to be had at this place, just a waste of your time. Don’t really think the guys sells anything just buys and stores it all there.

Great Collection of things, fun to walk around. Zero organization, zero prices on anything, zero knowledge on most of the items. He makes up prices as he goes, most of which are totally unreasonable. Its basically just a big warehouse for his stuff that he doesnt really want to sell, which sucks because he does actually have some gems in there.

This place is unbelievable... you walk in the door and think its pretty cool and that you could spend 20-30 minutes poking around... then the guy tells you there are 4 more floors!

Great place to find hidden treasures and unique items. You can also get rid of your unwanted treasures instead of throwing them out. If your into yard sales ans flea markets this is the place for you.

Review №26

Stop rating this as a one star just because the owner knows what things are worth. Dont expect to find crazy deals, because the owner has so much knowledge on everything in the store. Go in and learn something new while shopping.

Lots of stuff. Not the place to get a good deal though. Everything will be priced high retail or worse.

If you want to look its a great place, if you want to buy its terrible. Unless your willing to spend a ton of money stay away

STAY AWAY, THE STORE IS A HIGH PRICED MUSEUM!I walked in to the store and was immediately in awe of the mountains of merchandise. However, as I browsed thru, looking for a very specific type of item, I sensed that the establishment was more of a hoarders dream come true/museum, than a low overhead emporium of the past.My concerns were confirmed when I was asking the OWNER prices for the items I had unearthed, in far from pristine condition and from underneath loads of random stuff. The prices quoted were at least double the prices for similar, often nicer items, found online. I left disappointed that I had spent over two hours digging thru the store, only to leave with a minute fraction of the items I found.BOTTOM LINE : SAVE YOUR MONEY, AND LOOK INTO PITTSBURGH S OTHER FINE ANTIQUE DEALERS. THIS STORE AND ITS OWNER WILL WASTE YOUR TIME!

Dont expect to go here and find a deal! This place has thousands of super cool items at full on retail price! He dosent take into consideration if the items are damaged and/or missing parts of the set, no prices and no organization. Most of these items he gets from the garbage and upsells it 100% if youre looking for something in particular this is not the place for you its full of dirty digging and rummaging around with no room to walk or remove other iteams to find what ever youre looking for.

Worst place ever...We are traveling alot trough US and stopping in an Antique Mallswe are passing on the road. We were in Pittsburgh and check the stores around.These one was very disappointed. It is disorganised dirty and nothing has price tag.The owner are looking at you and come up with the price.... Also be shure to wear helmet the upper floor are dangerous, watch your steps when trying to make around the junk.

Very friendly owners, and it’s true that there’s a lot of stuff, but there’s so much to find and look through! Carve out lots of time to look for treasure there.
