Directed me on selling 30x40 oblong mirror I have no place to use it nor anyone else in our family. Mirror in beautiful condition and hung in the living room for many years. He was very knowledgeable about pricing.

I love my friend Scotty and he has a great store. Everyone should go by and check out his antiques!

On the positive, lots and lots of stuff currently discounted 60%. The owner is obviously trying to get out of the business. Everything was marked down. Much of the stuff was not in very good condition. Too cluttered for my taste.

A treasure trove of wonderful things. Love this place! From glassware to furniture, lamps, etc. I bought a wonderful wool coat! And so much more.

Few things make me angrier than having my time wasted. On a positive note this place has a far wider selection of true, solid wood vintage or antique pieces than the other four antique shops I visited while in Rome. When I entered the store the owner/manager(?) told me that everything was 50% off for their moving sale (which I knew), except for certain items which would be marked. Fine. I found a piece suitable for alteration which I liked and which had a reasonable 1/2-off price, and spent the next hour circling the store, measuring and texting my husband trying to find a semi-comparable piece to pair it with. After deciding on a second piece I even spent several minutes talking with the owner about both and asking questions. Finally I decided just to purchase the first one, but when I went to check out I was charged full price as this piece had the word Firm on the BACK of the price tag. Who would know or think to look there?? I declined to purchase as we couldnt justify the full price given our plans to alter it, and left. I dont dispute that it was a quality piece and no money changed hands, but I wouldnt have wasted an hour+ in this store if it had been obvious at the start that it was exempt from the sale.

Saw a Facebook picture with lots of rusty cast iron skillets at this store. Took an hours drive over to find a deal with a bulk purchase. I found that many were warped or cracked. The prices started at $25 for for the worst of the lot and went much higher from there. None were cleaned or seasoned. You arent going to get a deal here. Keep looking!!

Went in looking for treasure. All I found was junk. Found an old beat up container that shop keep wanted triple for what it goes for brand new. He was rude when I pointed out this information. Found an old doll that was marked triple the priced of what I could order it for online. No deals here. Move along.

I haven’t found a better selection anywhere like this store has. My husband and I were totally amazed at what we found, and at such good prices. We plan on returning soon to get more furniture for our home.

It was packed so full of items that its hard to see whats there. As a matter of fact theres a sign at the door stating you cant bring in your purse due to the fact that things get knocked over. SO I put my purse in the car and walked around with my dad. There were some interesting things in there but my money was in the car. I guess I felt like going to the car to get the money and coming back in to pay for it wasnt something I wanted to participate in especially since I wasnt allowed to have it in thre in the first place. It felt odd maybe like they suspect all women with bags as thieves. They said it was to prevent breakage. That could be it. The place was packed. There is some interesting stuff. If you want to go ladies take your money out of your purse before you go in other wise your gonna feel weird if they turn you around at the door with you hand bag. You can just hold your money in your hand if you dont have pockets.

He had a TONE. There is so much to look at, you need to name sure you have plenty of time when you stop. There is actually so much to look at, it is a difficult shop to maneuver around. Some of the items, you have to see from afar because there is no walk space to get to them. The gentleman who works there/owns the place is super nice and helpful. I am sure he would do his best to help if you were interested in a piece that is difficult to get to just as he does with the pieces that are not.

Review №15

Rude and way over priced. Everything I looked at was priced and least 3 times the fair retail if not more. Way too difficult to move between aisles, especially with the threat of having to pay for something getting broke.

Wide assortment of antiques! If you are looking for anything in specific be sure to ask and the Owner, he will be sure to show you right where it is! He was very helpful and kind when he was showing me where a few pieces were! Definitely worth the afternoon to look at it all!

Huge variety of wares and space filled with some excellent quality antique and vintage furniture & decor...good Asian section too. Scott, the owner is very knowledgable and straightforward (refreshing for a change) and I trust him implicitly! My home has several of his pieces which I always am complemented on. Of note is his other store Illusions on Broad Street with an incredible selection of vintage jewelry - costume & genuine gold, silver, precious & semi precious stones!!! Just gorgeous!

Review №25

Impossible to do business with! I contacted the owner about selling 3 items....sent him pics and a price. of $200.... He said he would take them. So I drove an hour to get there. He looked at the items, then offered me only $150, knowing he had me on the spot cause I needed the money. Reluctantly I sold them for 150, and he smirked cause he KNEW he had just taken advantage of me....OK there were 3 items...thats $50 each he paid me. a month later, I wanted to buy back ONE of the items. I expected to pay him a small profit...but NOOOO....he wanted $150 for ONE item...the whole amount he paid for all 3!!! What GREED!.....not only GREEDY....but very RUDE AND ARROGANT as well!!!!!....... I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS BUSINESS!!!! AT ALL!!!! TO ANYONE!!!!
