Forestwood Antique Mall

There’s a tea/​dessert café INSIDE! Super nice staff, and so much I didn’t even know where to start looking. Some stuff is way over priced but you can find some great treasures if you look long and hard enough. They have tons of rings in every size and metal/​gem you could want and gorgeous coral and minerals for sale. You could spend almost a whole day in here finding things. I found a Tiffany style teapot lamp shade ($ 45) and a handmade beaded tree for $ 25. They wrap and box up your stuff for easier travel. Appreciate that! So far one of the most interesting antique stores ive been to. (If antiquing was a sport I’d have so many trophies) all in all 5/​5, organized, awesome, and some decent pricing!

This place is massive and had so many selections but it was hard to justify spending that much $$$ on anything there. But it definitely is a great experience of antique shopping!

I like dragging my husband here when we’re putzing around on the weekends with nothing better to do. We have yet to make any actual purchases, but it’s fun strolling through and seeing what the different vendors have. Seems like not a super high rate of turnover; some stuff stays around for months. I’d stop by every few months, not every few weeks, in order to get more variety. I’m not big into antiques so I’m not sure if the prices are reasonable or not; they seem a little high. Employees are friendly. It is pretty large inside, stuffed to the brim with stuff!

One of the best antique malls I’ve ever been to. Mostly high end, lots of furniture, vintage clothes, estate jewelry and lots of Texas collectibles.

I was not impressed with Forestwood Antique Mall. The prices were insanely high and it smelled super musty. We came on the Friday after Thanksgiving and there was heavy foot traffic, but no one seemed to be buying anything. AND — to speak of that, I don’t even know how that would work. I didn’t once see an employee.
I would search for your antiques elsewhere.

Huge huge HUUUUUUGE antique mall. The outside looks big but there is even more inside than it appears! Don’t come here to browse if you have a few minutes, this is a place where any antique appreciator can easily spend hours on end browsing. There was once a fully functional, manual Brunswick record player in here. It was gorgeous…
I thoroughly enjoyed dining in the café for lunch. I had chicken with some green sauce– I forgot the dish name – and it was tender and flavorful
I’d consider this to be a «formal attire acquired» place, so it’s wise not to come in here dressed down, otherwise you’ll be followed around the store.

Not a whole lot of antiques to be had. I would say about half of the place was full of vintage repo, shabby chic, and crafts crap.

My first impression is great! Good store and some interesting dealers… Until I was about ¹⁄₃^rd the way through the mall. I encountered your typical dealer, old women who was selling her junk cause she probably had no loved ones to take care of her and she needed the money. She started talking to me, I said I was from CO as she had asked me… And the flood gates of stupid and angry flowed out. She claimed to be 68 and therefore know about how prohibition worked so well… Ya I’m intelligent enough to know 2015−68= not alive during prohibition. But she claimed her age as a means to know it worked… And that pot is killing our children and it should be illegal… She said she knew all those hippies smoking back in the day… When it was also illegal I pointed out… But she was convinced that making it legal was fundamentally giving it to every 14 year old child and killing them…
I said Hi when she said hi, and I answered her question about where I was from and got attacked for it. I’m wearing a golf shirt and Allen Edmonds boat shoes… I am anything but a hippie and I found this the rudest I have been treated as a customer. The store looks good 2 stars as I was only able to get through ¹⁄₃^rd before being chased away 40% stars for a third of the store is as generous as I can be until I can finish the mall. I told the people at the front desk and walked out.
Don’t talk to the kind old dealers here, they might not be so kind.

By far the best antique mall I’ve been to in a while.
The entire place is well lit and clean. It’s taken care of and you don’t feel «dirty» after walking around in here for hours.
It’s absolutely huge and it’s packed with lots of items but its easy to walk about and not fear brushing into things or breaking stuff.
A good 50% of their inventory is large scale pieces like furniture and LARGE décor pieces! This is great! I often find that I am in places where there is no furniture or it’s display only and the only things for sale are nickel and dime plastic items from the 70s and 80s. Not so here!
There is a really cute café area in here. They offer some eats and drinks which is really great. If you’re like me, you want to go into a large scale antique mall and zig zag every aisle and peer into each booth. You want to take it all in and enjoy your time spent in yesteryear. This can take hours and sometimes, you find that you’re dying of thirst or you’re really hungry because you lost track of time and you didn’t eat lunch :) No worries, friends! They have you covered!
It’s in a REALLY great part of town where you’re safe and don’t have to worry about if your car’s wheels will still be there when you get pack to the parking lot. A lot of antique places are in… sketchy… parts of town (putting it mildly in most cases).
The staff and vendors that I have met are really nice. Everyone is smiley and they make you feel like they value your dollar. They greet you upon coming in and are there to help/​accessible when you need someone.
This is also one of the few places that I can go and find the EXACT item I’m looking for. A few times now, I’ve been looking for something specific and I’ve been able to walk in, take a glance around and was able to find several of my desired item! It’s the BEST when you’re looking for something, find it, AND have many choices! Also, the Items I’ve purchased where well priced and in GREAT condition. That is a HUGE bonus for me!!!
All in all, This place is great! I feel that their items are very good quality and I don’t have to sift through two decades of trading cards and tupperware to find what I need.

Nice layout and selection, but very pricey. Some items are more rare and may be worth the prices. But many are relatively common and can be found elsewhere cheaper.

Good variety but a little pricy. Loved the fossils/​mounted animals in the back the most but alas a little too high-​priced for us. Well worth a look though!

Lots of chandeliers, Asian antiques, furniture and other EXPENSIVE items. Not a bargain to be found in the whole place. If you’re loaded and love old stuff this is your place. No thanks.

Prices on most furniture is way too high for the value. Also, keep hearing that Forestwood’s Lease witl not be renewed at the end of September. Can anyone confirm or deny that?

This was our first time to Forestwood Antique Mall and will probably be my last. If you are looking for the run of the mill grandma antiques then this place is for you. Any antiques like cameras, were very over priced.
I was actually surprised how most of the items were so over priced. Don’t go expecting curiosities or anything interesting.

Garden Tea Room makes fresh pies and cakes daily. Simply delicious. We are enjoying lunch today here. Having the strawberry cake and coconut cake. My kids are fighting for more cake. I always order the fruit plate and soup of the day. The staff is very friendly too. Its a treat!

There are so many things here! It feels like you’re falling down the rabbit hole into a different time. I like that it’s organized, but that there are a lot of things for you to explore. The whole feel of the store is decadent and quirky – I think if I was more of an antiques person, I’d fall in love with it.

When I think of Antique Malls I usually think of booth after booth of junk. This is not that. That’s either a plus or a minus depending on how you’re looking at it. There’s lots of high quality stuff here… with the high price attached. So if you don’t mind paying a little extra this is a great place… however, if you’re like me, and part of the thrill is in the hunt… you might want to look elsewhere.

This is a great place for finding high quality pieces that have a price to match (or over-​match, honestly). It has beautiful items, but is very expensive. And I’m not talking from someone who can’t afford things. I mean in relation to several items that I *know* the true value of on the open market — their prices were sometimes only 15% too high or other times 400% too high.
A lot of times I like antique malls for the thrill of the hunt — finding a fun piece in a booth of junk, or sometimes just looking and buying the junk. I also like to go to places such as this when I really need to find something specific. I went with the express purpose of buying a few (not too difficult to find usually) pieces, and could not find any of them. Oh well, such is the nature of antiquing I suppose.
I probably will return someday, but again only when I’m looking for something high-​end, specific, and willing to shell out through the nose to get it.

Forestwood is one of the 3 or 4 antique malls that I hang around in on a random lazy weekend.
Forestwood is a little fancier and pricier than other antique stores in Dallas, and definitely skews towards the 40+ yr old crowd (as opposed to Lulu B’s which is a late 20’s/early 30’s heaven). However, there are always gems to be found.
On one such afternoon, I found some highly collectable Rangers and Astros merchandise. Luckily, the consignment (ish?) owner was in the building and offered me a discount deal. So, yes, haggling is to be had at this antique mall.
Special Note: If you’re into 40’s-80’s sports memorabilia, this is the best antiques mall that I have found in the Metroplex.

Introduced to this mall by two of my dearest friends (they’re probably reading this now — haha) today after a nice lunch not far away.
Didn’t think I was going to do much but stroll and window shop, but this place has so much variety for collectors and non-​collectors alike. I got my first Lampe Berger here today and was helped by the friendliest rep, Diana, who took the time and care to show me how to use it properly and answer all of my questions.
I also found some other giftable items and know it’ll be on my list for future occasions to while away an hour or so.
In particular, what I liked:
+ curators often had a terrific sense of style and whimsy in putting together their booths/​cubbies. Pleasant to look at and orderly for the most part.
+ variety! plenty of items running the full range (and price range, too)
+ funny, friendly staff throughout and at the front desk
+ there’s a quaint restaurant inside that looks like it will be getting a review from me in the near future.
+ well-​marked prices on all items
+ clear aisles, walkways
+ plenty of parking
+ open 7 days a week
+ free, ice cold lemon water at the entrance with complimentary chocolate donut holes to greet and welcome you to stay a while and browse without a grumbly tummy
What they might improve if they read this:
— offer a map showing what’s where
— offer handbaskets to carry items handily
— offer frequent shopper specials or discounts or freebies
All in all, it’s the first such mall I’ve been to that I look forward to visiting again (after I let my wallet recover)!
