Love this place. I have purchased so many great items, I can’t keep track. I just bought a beautiful 1930’s Waterfall Armoire that is in excellent condition. It even had the original wood wheels on it. Photo to come. I also bought two great wood shelves and now that I think about it, it is the third shelf I have bought from them! Ok, I like shelves. It is great place to poke around because it is kind of like a mini flea market, in that they have everything from furniture and dishes to Playboy magazines and jewelry, costume and real. They have fantastic lamps including 1920’s chandeliers and a great selection of «faux Tiffany» hanging lamps that remind me of my grandmothers house. I walk by there almost every day and it hard for me not to go in and find something. Like Shaggy mentioned, the people that run it are very nice and helpful and because I live so close, they deliver for free!

Awesome antique store with unusual stuff as well as more traditional housewares, small furniture, knickknacks, statues, and hard-0to-find magazines. But what is best is it is run by two of the nicest people in the world. Pete — former resident of the area for many years and great talker His co-worker a sweet lady who shared her passion of antiques and unusual finds with me. I bought a set of crystal glasses and carafe for $ 40 and was so happy. Went two doors down to grab a half pint and laid my stuff on a chair, until one of the bags fell to the ground — it was the carafe shattered . I went back told them my situation and I asked if they had a replacement or something similar that I would pay for. They gave a great discount on another carafe(look, it was my fault for putting a crystal carafe packaged pretty well on a small chair!!) I only withhold one star as though the fault was mostly mine, I think they could invest in better packaging when giving you glassware — it was newspaper and a plastic bag. But they were quite fair as they did discount the replacement heavily. Finally they had old Playboys from 1964which I bought — the Playboy was strong evidence the intellectual life of the US was far broader and deeper than now — a James Baldwin article and reviews of jazz, classical, Streisand, and pop that were short to the point but valuable! The photography was rich and beautiful!..
