Haystack Antiques

A beautiful, well curated space full of vintage and antique furniture pieces and home décor. This is a great place to go to find unique home décor whether large furniture or small accent pieces as well as a great place to shop for gifts. Haystack features a mix of booths of different designers and antique dealers, each booth is slightly different from the next. It’s not like the typical antique store with stacks of old, smelly junk piled around– Haystack is selective in the dealers they choose to work with and maintain a lovely and unique aesthetic. Their staging and placement is such that it doesn’t overwhelm the senses but rather invites you in to experience all their beautiful items.
As far as the prices that others have mentioned in previous reviews, it is important to know that most of the prices are set by the individual dealers and not Haystack themselves. Personally, I don’t think it’s overpriced– rare, collectible, one of a kind, historical, antique and vintage pieces are such that they should be priced accordingly. So, yes, there can be some expensive items, but there are plenty of inexpensive items to find as well. I think I’ve gotten some amazing deals on beautiful pieces there. I appreciate their discretion in what they sell and recognize that the shopping experience and surroundings at Haystack are of high quality and caliber. I am willing to pay more both for the experience and the item– especially if that means I don’t have to rummage through stinky, sticky junk at a thrift store or garage sale in an attempt to acquire a comparable item that I would have found at Haystack without the headache. Ain’t nobody got time for that!
They have a lot of fun events and sales as well. Debbie and Sue are helpful, friendly and super sweet. You can tell they are passionate about what they do and have a keen eye for it as well.

fun store with lots of interesting, unusual things for sale. staff is knowledgeable and friendly. bought my wife the perfect birthday gift that she loved. right next to Pete’s so I got a bottle of champagne to go with it.

So many wonderful venues for design in this lovely antique store! Debbie Nordstrom has handpicked the best of the best and collected and curated them all under one roof for the best shopping experience and designation for home and lifestyle décor! Beautiful and unusual items and definitely one of a kind finds. I love Haystack Antiques in the heart of Bellevue! I always find what I need and absolutely love the staff!

This place almost had it nailed. They’ve got a super cute retail space of adorable knick-​knacks, they do a weekend lemonade hour and they’ve got an admirable mix of well-​priced to regular high priced antiques. I even actually love their strip mall locale. However, their staff, while generally pleasant and helpful, seem a little snooty, as if my purchases were not of the magnitude to be appreciated. They don’t take American Express either, which I totally understand, but is a bummer because of the points I get. Their goods are generally rustic/​farmhouse and mid-​century modern. There is a lot to take in, so take your time. Sometimes the amazing items can be found in the background. I hope they stick around and I hope to find more interesting unique items for my house.

Buy beware. Bought some items that were misrepresented. When I discovered the misrepresentation, I contacted the management. The misrepresentation was denied and no solution offered.

It’s strange that I managed to check-​in and it listed this place in Bellevue when really I was in kirkland and it is on Market. Hmmm maybe they have two locations.
My friend worked here over the summer and suggested we stop by, as we were looking for decorations for my bridal shower and wedding.
First, this place is absolutely beautiful and the two gals running it have a very keen eye for placement and gave an overall great ambience to it. Every step you take there is a multitude of things to look at, both tiny and very large.
She also told me that they made some of the furniture that they sold and if your looking for a particular item, you can give them your contact info and they will browse for it when they are picking new goods.
The downside: it’s expensive. Really expensive. But for the kirkland crowd, I guess most people could potentially afford some of the statement pieces that this establishment flourishes with.
I ended up taking home a small bottle for inspiration that cost $ 8. Eventually I found similar bottles at Value village for a fourth of the price.
If your looking for a statement piece, this is the place to go. But don’t expect to pay the traditional amount you would see at other antique stores.

Haystack is my go to place for antiques and gift ideas. They always have new inventory and the dealers taste vary so there is always something for everyone and at every price range. If I’m not certain about a piece Doug and Sue will always tell me the truth and I love that they are so honest. Haystack is about the customer leaving happy and not about making a quick sale. In these gloomy dark winter days I head for Haystack and in about an hour I leave with a true treasure and I don’t even notice the weather because I’m so thrilled about what I found.

This is a small antique mall, tucked away in the little 105^th street strip along with Pete’s wine shop (recommended btw). Antique «malls» are a group of dealers who pay rent to the mall for space and for sales staff to handle transactions. It’s usually a good way to browse, especially if your tastes are eclectic.
I went to Haystack on a browse looking specifically for typewriters. (Don’t laugh — I’m re-​learning how to type and wanted a manual unit for personal correspondence). I was in luck because there were about half a dozen units in the store — pretty good for such a small mall, right? Well, most were in poor shape — functionally as well as cosmetically — and the prices were ultra-​premium. The lowest was $ 85 and in poor condition; others ranged from $ 125 — $ 175; one unit in decent shape had a $ 250 price tag. From what I saw, I’d say only a couple were in functional good shape. For an informed buyer to pay those prices on those models, most of which aren’t collectible, they would have had to have been in stunning physical shape, clean and ready for a fresh sheet of paper.
I know antique dealers are in business to make money, and as a small business owner I know what Bellevue rents are like. That said, the poor shape and high prices indicated the dealers selling these pieces didn’t know how to price them for a knowledgeable buyer. If this is what they think the market can bear, then I don’t think their clientele is that well-​educated.

Over priced.
Plenty of items that aren’t antiques.
Unfriendly — women behind the counter scowled as I walked in. I smiled and said hello. She mumbled something about wondering if I was looking for anything specific. I took awhile to walk out and there was no thank you for coming or have a good day. Instead, a look of disgust and distain. I don’t get it. How can a retail place be unfriendly.
I won’t go back. And I was ready to spend.

We were recommended to Haystack by another store. We had a very nice antique glass set that we wanted to sell. It turns out that they don’t buy items there– which is fine. But the disdain and coldness we received is not okay. The lady there certainly didn’t have in mind that we could be future customers– after all we were in her store and could see what she was selling. Perhaps treating us with respect might cause us to remember her with fondness and come back or recommend the store to someone else. No, instead she was rude and abrupt. To be respectful, the items she was selling did look nice but perhaps overpriced– $ 500 for an antique blanket? But as for customer service– don’t get your hopes up.

If you are looking for something fun to do on a day off or weekend, visit Haystack Antiques. Interesting and unique merchandise, knowledgeable and friendly staff. Store is clean, smells fresh even though there is vintage merchandise everywhere. If you are looking for a unique piece for that corner or table top this is the place. The vintage jewelry is reasonable and divine. Right now you can pick up some grand urns for the garden, some galvanized pieces and other unique garden art. The merchandise changes often and right now there is a beautiful glass topped table and four chairs for the deck or patio. Very reasonably priced. Once you go you are hooked and will go often.

This was my day to use my
GPS system in my new car to find Antique shops in Bellevue. I was so pleased to find this relatively new store with a very nice mixture of antiques. I have always been a fan of Pacific Galleries, well this is a smaller version, not just another shop with junkie old items. I look forward to going back. Staff seemed extremely helpful!
It really is on 105^th even though it feels like you are going into an alley.

I may have never discovered this place if it wasn’t for Unilocal.When I first walked into this store I thought it was going to be over-​priced. I was wrong. Not only is it the most beautifully merchandised (I studied fashion merch, in school and my background is in the visual merchandising), but it is also the most reasonably priced antique store in the area! The staff is so unbelievably sweet and helpful. Other antique store’s employees are not friendly unless you’re older than their merchandise. And it smells good!

I would probably give 4 stars, if the staffs are more sincere, and the price of the merchandise are more $$ friendly. The store itself looks really nice and refresh, but when I take a closer look it mixed with junk, antiques, and not so antiques. Don’t take me wrong I totally love vintage junk style, yet it has to be reasonable price. And, I know each dealer have to pay the percentage of each sale to the store, but it does not meant the ripped out to the customer. Anyway, I was regular at Rose bowl in Pasadena, Alameda in Oakland, and some stores in SF before I moved up here. I’d like to see the precious have the price well match. That’s all.

Excellent antique store! Great flea market type finds. Lots if fabulous re-​purposed pieces that really made me wish I has more room in my apt. If I actually knew how to identify valuable pieces Im sure they were there too.
Even better its right by Pete’s Wine!

The mom and I have been looking forward to the opening of Haystack Antiques for a bit. Couldn’t have been a better day to stop by and give it a look. I am vacillating between 3 and 4 stars. Ultimately I’ve settled on 4 because although rather pricey, Haystack gets my brain percolating and definitely inspires. It’s as much art gallery as antiques, and is just a pleasure to walk through. There were a couple of booths that were affordable, by affordable I mean most things weren’t above $ 150. This isn’t your bargain junktique mall, more upscale which I guess isn’t surprising based on the location.
Besides the prices, the only thing I can pick at is, for being just open, I did expect the staff to be more friendly, as no one said hello or anything to us the entire time we were there.
