I wanted to love this place. But that is pretty far from my feeling. I should start by saying I've been buying antiques for decades. Part of the pleasure is chatting with dealers who usually are a friendly, knowledgable bunch. You can learn lots. The piece you buy always is more special for that whole experience. Not here.
First time in on Friday, the dealer for the booth was pretty helpful, but the desk staff (rotating-dealers taking turns?) was just short of rude-passing over a tape measure and ignoring me trying to return it and thanking them. I went back Saturday (again, no one ever greeted us nor did I see that with anyone else walking in ) to find a slightly more pleasant couple who did contact the dealer for price and called to pass it on to me. Took all afternoon, but not their fault. I appreciated that.
But today clinched this review. We went to pick up the pieces. After the transaction and removing anything from the top and drawers we were most deliberately on our own getting them out of the building. Not that we expected anyone to carry them, but just juggling people walking through the door, in the aisles was tough. No one even offered to help with the door-except a passerby. And certainly no one said thank you, come back! Far as I can tell, these folks think they are doing you a favor letting you buy something from them. I have a new house to furnish, there are lots of nice dealers out there, so I plan to go to them and I suggest you patronize them, not People's Store. By the way, this is the first negative review I've ever written on Yelp.
