Odd Fellows Antiques

Great place! Tons of selection and many different styles. The staff working were friendly and helpful. Great place to take an hour or two and really dig around.

Great variety and prices are reasonable. This is a pretty large location with its 2 floors.

Best antique mall in the area — great vendors and fair prices. Definitely worth a visit.

This is probably the best antique shop I’ve ever been too. It’s got things I actually want to have in my house. It’s not like someone cleaned out their garage and dumped their crap in a store — it’s like a perfectly and meticulously curated little collection of things that probably have fantastic stories behind them.
The only problem is most everything is very expensive.

Plan on giving yourself some time to really look at the things offered for sale here. You are likely to find some great little gems. I found a great vintage hand tooled leather purse, it needs some work but that’s my thing so I’m excited to give it new life. We will be back for sure!

Snapshot: Kitsch to glam, an assortment of Victorian to mid-​century antiques priced fairly.
Entering into Odd Fellows Antiques is not for the claustrophobic. 150 booths fill two floors of a stately brick building on Twelve Mile in Berkley, a sort of Rust Belt or Yellow Door Market for the antique crawling set. Trying to characterize the whole lot is difficult, but Odd Fellows represents the odd couple. French provincial furniture sits side by side with rose-​patterned china and cast iron cruets. Latch hook rugs are just as common a sight as moody landscape paintings.
Each booth reflects a totally different pastiche of preferences, ranging from china shepherdesses rescued from Grandma’s curio cabinet to vintage Michigan farm signage. Electric items like lamps and old radios stand alongside an enormous array of dishware and housewares. Come here with a look in mind, or prepare to spend hours sorting through the different booths trying to find it. Fortunately the staff are quite familiar with each seller’s offerings, and will happily guide you to find something you seek.
The beau and I searched over a weekday for a bedside table for our guest room. In about thirty minutes, while I basked in the sun on a park bench adjacent to Clark’s Ice Cream, a friendly employee helped him locate two potential tables. I went in armed with the booth numbers, found my preference, and we concluded a sale in two shakes of a lamb’s tail. Regular markdowns, sales, and consignments help to keep the reasonable prices within the stratosphere of reason. You could spend easily double the price for a furnishing at a mainstream furniture store, or get real wood and an antique or vintage piece.
Odd Fellows can be rather tight on space and overwhelming if you do not go in with a game plan. Fortunately, even vague instructions («a solid wood table,» «a record player,» «green cups») can translate into a real find. Hardcore thrifters and antique hunters will certainly be in their element here, but for the average shopper tired of Target’s contemporary look or the Macy’s premium can still thrive here to their satisfaction.
Parking is easy in their side lot, and they have a wheelchair accessible ramp — great if you have a heavy piece to wheel up the car. Make sure to stop in at Clark’s for a special treat.

I will openly admit, my review is skewed because I found 2 Hudson hat boxes in perfect condition, so 5 stars is a must!
That being said, I really did enjoy the afternoon a friend and I spent here. We found so many things, it was hard to decide what to purchase. The staff was very helpful. I think things were fairly priced.

This store is filled with the stuff your grandma never let you touch. Now you have no interest in doing so.
I’ve recently been on a weird old stuff kick, so I figured I could try this place to see if they have nay weird old things to decorate my apartment.
What I found was what looked more like a museum than a store. Most of the things here are very lah-​dee-​dah porcelain in locked cases. Lots of dinnerware and cups, not too much kitschy and weird. One redeeming quality of this place is the old wooden floors that creak as you walk on them.
The staff seemed cold and unwelcoming to the likes of me. Seeing as how I’m under 50, I’m categorized under «dirty fingered ragamuffin» and deserve a leering gaze.
Prices are what you’d expect — this side of expensive. They had some old books that were interesting, but they were 5x the cost of what I’d expect.
If you have a rich grandmother who needs a new tea set, bring her here, otherwise, try somewhere else.

If you enjoy hunting at garage sales but don’t have the time this may be the store for you. It is made of different sellers selling their best «finds” — from furniture to plates, normally vintage. If you are a collector of the old, this is a good hunt.
The store is only organized by seller, so you could spend almost an entire afternoon sorting through the junk. Keep in mind that many of the items there will eventually go on sale, but you’d still find a better deal if you hunted through the garage sales yourself.
