This is a good antique store, with a large selection of interesting, pieces. Even though it’s 45 miles away, we were pleased enough to be repeat customers. After the experience we had yesterday, however, I don’t think that we will ever be going back to Sandwich. My husband and I were interested in a love seat that was 50% off. It needed a lot of repairs but we were still interested. The first person we saw said that she would ask about a further discount and went upstairs. Moments later, somebody different came running down the stairs yelling at us about unreasonable requests. She was so harsh and cruel that she made me cry. So, if you want to shop at place that has typically been a pretty fair resource for interesting goods, BUT comes with a slight chance of being reduced to tears by a belligerent employee, then this is the place for you.

Don’t judge this place by the outside! It goes on, and on… and on! There is so much to find, you’d need the entire day to go through this Antique Center thoroughly. There are several sections — some all in cases, some out for people to view up close and touch/pick-up, and then the«clearance» section downstairs. Definitely some great buys to be had down there! Every different room had several employees walking around, ready to open a case, hold an item for you, or answer any questions. I was most impressed that this really seemed to lack the crap that most antique shops and flea markets house. The vast majority of items were sincerely antiques. I’m curious to know how often items turn over, but based on how many items are here, I doubt I would even remember what I’ve seen. I will be back!

This place is quite large so expect to spend at least an hour looking around. The prices are sort of high but they do have a quite a range of prices from high end to more affordable. Whatever it is you are looking for – furniture, collectibles, jewelry, china, crystal, silver, paintings – this place will have it. I was not really looking for anything but I bought a couple of Lefton birthmonth angel figurines. See my other reviews for Sandwich area stores – the town is definitely worth the trip and i will return.

It is in a great location, easy to find, and parking. A nice space with lots to look at. I think the prices are expensive, especially in a bad economy. Usually you can find really expensive booths to cheaper booths at antique malls not so much here. Then everything we liked was Not For Sale! Why do you have awesome items NFS, if you don’t want to part with it the items don’t show them. The basement had cheap prices so look hard. Go area to visit and if you don’t like this place, go down the street to the other antique stores!

This place was pretty large… another time consuming place to visit so plan ahead, especially on Sundays when other shops may close earlier. However this one stays open till 5PM! There are lots of glass cases with items in them… mostly vintage jewelry which can take a long time to look through as well and can get overwhelming so I pretty much scan it quickly. I was looking for vintage valentines cards and found a great variety however the price was WAY too much… I’m talking $ 7.99 for some and about $ 3.99 on the cheap side… no thank you. The basement is a wonderful 75% off everything down there which is nice and there are a lot of thing to choose from but I didn’t find anything this time. The rest of the shop has so many rooms to look at you may want to designate a floor plan and stick to it to make sure all grounds are covered. There is pretty much every kind of vintage… antique item your heart has ever desired in this shop so its fun to pick through everything. And they do have a little soda machine with a few pop drinks and some water when you get thirsty or need to just sit down for a minute in the spacious break area. I recommend stopping here for all your antique needs!
