Legacies Gallery of Discovery

Great second had store however the staff are NOT very friendly. Every question had to go to «Barb» as she «is in charge». Service like that will soon turn off your customers. It did me… Still worth a check…

This is a great consignment shop in Hyde Park Plaza that has everything from furniture to cake platters and bird cages. The inventory changes constantly so you never know what you’ll find. It’s a fun store to explore and it’s super conveniently located next to Snooty Fox. When my wife is shopping next door for clothes I come here to go treasure hunting.

What a cool little shop! I went to Legacies with my mother who was looking for a handbag for my grandmother as a Christmas gift. Thinking that this place would have a few clothes, shoes and handbags, I was completely surprised by the different things they have to offer. This is the perfect place to find unique gifts that you will not be able to find anywhere else! If you’re shopping for the kind of person who has «everything» stop by Legacies and take a look. You will definitely be able to find something cool and unique.

What a fantastic shop and it benefits cancer research. The prices are reasonable, the merchandise is unique and I find myself just going there for no reason just to look around.
If you’re looking for a unique gift or something different, this antique shop is a rare find. Check it out for yourself!

I was looking for a pair of matching night stands so I stopped in here hoping to have some luck. What I never noticed before when I walked in was that the proceeds go towards an organization benefitting patients with cancer. Bargain shopping while helping a great cause??? Sign me up!
The store was organized by like items, with living room furniture to the right when you walk in. They have things from silver serve-​ware, tea sets, headboards, even jewelry and shoes. Some items seemed like a deal, and others seemed overpriced, but I think that is what you would find when you have such a big selection of items. It is a fun place to stop in and and maybe find the one item you never knew you needed!

I like the idea behind this place and that it donates the proceeds to the Wellness Community, but as far as the items in there I didn’t find much that I just had to have. There was a picture in there that did catch my eye, and upon closer inspection I realized it was a wallpaper sample that had been framed. Clever idea but it was $ 45. I felt it was a bit pricey for pretty much everything that was in there. I posted a photo of some of the things they had. It was nice stuff for sure, but I think I was hoping for more of a thrift story type of place. This is definitely more of an upscale type of place.
If you are looking for some nice furnishings, it’s worth checking out. Maybe this is the type of place that I’d need to come back to and see what donations they have at a later date? I may try it again to see, but I don’t think it’d be my first stop for consignments. However if you are just having a shoppy kinda day, there is also a Snooty Fox to grab some new clothes right next door.

Proceeds go to a great cause, and you never know what you are going to find. I could spend hours looking around and they have everything. And new things are always being put out, one of my favorite stores in Cincinnati!

The 2 reviews that have been written about Legacies have been from the point of view of shopping there. I have not shopped there but have donated items. When you give stuff to legacies, you can either do it on a consignment basis or donate it, all proceeds go to the Wellness center. When we downsized my parents we had a lot of items to donate, some of them which were nicer than we wanted to give to goodwill/​thrift shops, although we had a bunch of stuff for those place too. Trying to figure out what to do with the nicer items is how I discovered legacies. Just like I will take work and nicer clothes to Dress for Success instead of goodwill, I will be using legacies to donate higher end items (silver etc). If you donate instead of giving them items for consignment, they are very good about getting you a detail receipt with a value on all items, so you have good documentation for you tax records, since it is a charity, donated items are tax deductible. One of these days I will take a look around, they do seem to have some cool stuff. Although, I probably will not be shopping their anytime soon, since I need to rid of stuff not acquire any more. Also, if you have some items (e.g, furniture) that are too big that you cannot take it there yourself, they have arrangements with a mover who will come pick it up.

I enjoy going to Legacies– not just when I have something in particular that I’m looking for, but also when I’m just in the mood to go for a shopping hunt. It’s an upscale consignment store and the proceeds fo to the Wellness Community. I’ve had a couple great finds there. Some things are way out of my budget, or not in line with my personal taste, but I enjoy browsing all the same. They have furniture, mirrors, paintings, and various knick knacks. I was there earlier this week looking for a coffee table, and nothing happened to catch my eye, but the staff was very friendly and approachable. Also of note, if you find something you like, but it’s out of your budget, there are scheduled mark-​downs (I think maybe 10% usually, and it’s indicated on the price tags). If you go and don’t see anything you like, but aren’t in a hurry, just keep checking in and you might be surprised to find what you’ve been looking for.

Legacies is a consignment furniture store located in Hyde Park Plaza. The twist on this store is that the proceeds go to the Wellness Community; a nonprofit dedicated to supporting cancer patients. The store a good selection of antiques and new items. Normally there is a large collection of framed prints/​paintings and misc household items in addition to furniture.
I find the pricing to be very inconsistent. There are some items that clearly overpriced (Simple newish glass cake stand for $ 30) and other very fairly marked. In past, I have snagged some real deals; pair of silver candlesticks for $ 20 and new Coach brand picture frames for roughly $ 10/​piece.
There is enough variety that keeps me coming back. The layout makes it easy to do a quick once around without much effort. The staff is somewhat helpful but most of them are volunteers that work limited hours/​week. I have always been able to get my questions answered but sometimes it takes repeating a couple times.
