Forestwood Antique Mall & Garden Tea Room

Antique and Design Gallery says it all. This is the kind of store interior designers would visit for unique and creative decor. I saw many gorgeous chandeliers, painted chests and beautifully recovered furniture, but you will also pay a premium for these finds. Definitely recommend if you have a large budget or are okay with paying a premium. Lots of collections here as well so, if you collect china, watches or other collectibles, this place is worth a browse. Plenty of free parking immediately in front of the store. Not recommended to bring children, even in a stroller, as the rows between booths are narrow and breakable objects are everywhere. Rating of 4 stars as I thought several items were way overpriced.

Worst customer service I’ve ever experienced from Janet at the front desk. There were a couple of items I wanted to get from the cases and I took note of the numbers on each one, however there was one section that had no number on the cases that I had a questions about. I showed her photos of the cases I took that had numbers and the one that didn’t. I even brought a business card from that section thinking we could use that to identify the cases. Instead of helping, Janet repeated herself and spoke to me like I couldn’t understand English. I kindly told her I’m aware of the numbers on each cases for reference yet this specific one in the back right corner had no visible number. She just stared back and said very slowly “this is what it looks like and this is where they’re located” I didn’t want to argue and just told her I’d look again but thinking about the way my boyfriend and I were treated by the staff made me no longer interested in supporting the business. She could’ve helped us, even walked back to help us find it, if she did she would notice there were no reference numbers on the cases , instead she decided to be bitter and unhelpful. They weren’t busy, there were 4 employees sitting there on their phones and barely even greeted us when we entered or approached the desk to ask for help. I attached the photos I showed her/took of the section, they clearly had no numbers! If they did it would be much easier to locate cause most were on a pink small card taped to the glass, these didn’t have it. Never returning.

Some good stuffs here. I bought a rosewood stand for my cloisonné vase.

We bought fun art and decorations. I wanted to buy more, but I did find a bit pricey. I do wonder if you can negotiate prices? We will definitely be going back since it was organized and there was so much to see.

Rude staff. Told me they were closed before they actually closed. Don’t have your business hours until 6pm if you intend on kicking guests out before you actually close. It’s called customer service. Checkout the antique mall in Plano! Much nicer staff.

One of my favorite antique spots~ This place has a lovely cafe as well. I have never dined with anyone there but think it would be a perfect cute spot to go with someone so I definitely recommend to anyone who does things like romance or dating and yeah. I typically enjoy looking at the antique watches at this location. They have a little squared off area with a watch specialist i am pretty sure?? I cant remenber if it was this place or another but i just know this antique shop is amazing. My father was a watch collector before and so I love simply staring at the cuckoo clocks and finding new ones with new intricate designs. This antique shop is truly dreamlike. Thank you for existing.

If you like home decor, clothes, jewelry, or vintage glassware, you might want to pop by Forestwood Antique Mall. I’ve been coming here for a couple of years now. It is always cold in the summer and warm in the winter. It’s kept very clean as well. The vendors who rent space here generally stage their items well (nothing looks junky), and have reasonable prices on their items. You’ll find one or two outliers who price their items pretty high for what they are. They don’t run as many sale events as other antique malls I’ve been to, but that seems to be because most things are well-priced to begin with. Overall recommend it if you’re in the area and interested in antiques.

This place use to be much better, I'd say definitely skip it for literally any other antique mall in town. The prices are absolutely ridiculous, and the selection has really declined. It feels like the same tacky retail merchandise just keeps spreading further and further through the store, and booths that use to have beautiful true vintage have just replaced it with cheap retail crap. The AC is never working either, so it doesnt feel welcoming in this summer heat. A real, real shame.

We were heading to lunch and found this cute Antique Mall/thrift mall. The mall itself has many different vendors. Everything was pretty organized and there were a LOT of random antiques. In addition to antiques, there were vendors selling jewelry and rugs. Pretty much everything in this mall was expensive and overpriced in my opinion.

Very pleasantly suprised to stumble across this gem! Each booth has its own style, decor, theme or asthetic. For antiques, I would say there are considered on the higher end. I was also super suprised to see the "Garden and Tea" room. I do wish it was decorated better (it's paper clothes and cheap tables and chairs) with cakes, finger food and coffee....but given the beauty of all the other items on sale, why can't the cafe match? Service was good and everyone seemed friendly. Cup of coffee was the perfect temperature, too. I can't wait to bring some friends and explore for a few hours, def lots of see!!

This place is in a state of flux. Many booths empty which was never the case before. Also they have multiple signs up that their restrooms are out of order. Honestly, thats very off putting on so many levels. Why can't you fix them? Or is it just a lie? Where are customers supposed to go? In their Depends??? And the ac is out of wack to boot. It was Oppressive in there and its not even full summer yet. A dealer we know says its not worth the cost to be there and I can tell you most of the stuff is new boutique decor of Chinese provenance. Meaning Made in China. Lamps literally plucked off Amazon and marked up 1000 percent. Really. Every booth has plain ceramic lamps with clear lucite bases.. some for $3800 a pair! Those popped right off Amazon and Wayfair. Please there cannot be that many stupid rich people out there. This place is not worth going to. I would not be surprised if it closed.

This antique mall is straight from the pits of rich white people h e double hockey sticks. The booths seem to have sourced several taxidermy items and antiques unethically. When walking in the ladies at the front desk looked at my casual attire and rolled their eyes. Like babes not everyone wants to wear talbots or outlet kate spade dresses for an everyday outing... get over yourselves. Also, almost every item is locked up like it's Buckingham palace. Theres no need to lock up $15-$25 glass tchotchkes that you can find at goodwill for less and more diverse in terms of quality. I loved the way the booths were decorated with chandeliers and cheetah print chairs for $680. I genuinely loved the decor here but it's nothing short of what you can see at an average estate sale. If you are looking to be overlooked and judged for being under a certain tax bracket or far from retirement, than this is the perfect place for you !!! However, if you look even remotely close to a liberal or apart of the LGBTQ+ community than do not come to this weird version of trump's Dante's Inferno. The only way this place could improve anything is if every staff member were admitted to a nursing home and they hired people that weren't afraid of diversity and inclusion.

I am surprised by the bad reviews here. I bought my dining room table and a pair of living room chairs here and overall had a great experience. Sure, the employees aren't going to roll out the red carpet, but they do their job efficiently! I was able to send my movers here to pick up my items with no issues. Everything they have is beautiful, and while it might be pricier, you are guaranteed to find something you will love! I am so happy to know about this place and will continue to go back as I am furnishing my new home.

I have always found that there is a great variety available at this mall. What some of these reviewers don't understand is that this is a group of independents working under the same roof. If it is like other malls I've frequented, they probably take turns at the register. If you have a question about one of their booths, they can probably answer the question, otherwise, they'll have to contact the owner of the booth. As a cooperative, they likely do their best to provide the help that they'd like others to provide about their own booth. These are likely NOT employees that will be coached for giving better customer service. When you go to a place like this, you have to adjust your spoiled brat expectations with a large dose of reality. Prices are what they are. To resell an item, a booth proprietor has to figure in the cost of renting the space, the price of the time it takes to "man" the space, and then the original cost of the item. None of this is inexpensive. You as the customer are paying for the convenience of having these items in one place. If this is not worth it, then you will need to go to every garage sale and Goodwill store you see until you happen upon an item that you deem worthy of buying. I for one, enjoy seeing so many lovely items together and think it is well worth my time to comb thru the booths.

I used to come here all the time growing up and always find cool things. They were decently priced. However that has changed. Everything is so extremely overpriced it's disappointing to see where it's come to. Not to mention--the rude staff. There was an old guy there who couldn't be bothered and just seemed so miserable. He was so rude to me and every other customer I saw him check out and ask for help. If he's so unhappy why is he there??? Really left a bad taste in my mouth.

I have to concur with all of the other recent reviews as the staff here as well as the owner needs some serious customer service training.. Nobody greets you and there is one woman in particular who just glares when you walk in the door. I've shopped here often on for about 10 years and I'm not sure I'll come here anymore. Many of the booths are selling brand new merchandise and like others have mentioned, the prices are really expensive for what it is . With no ambience or pleasantries , what's the point?

Big Antique Mall - but there is only one Dealer there that gets rated as best Antique Store in Dallas ! Amazing museum like place with Antique wild and wierd ancient curios , Rare Civil war photography , antique cameras , advertising signs , antique toys , wierd electrical and medical stuff from turn of the century , 1920 sports stuff , aviation , military , old time General store , lots of ancient documents and graphics , radios , Americana . Kudos to this booth making it worth while to visit ! Braxton Carl -Kansas , City KS

I giving two stars because it's Texas size place and if looking for something they probably have it. However everything is way overpriced and there is zero and I mean zero customer service not one person greeted me or asked need help to busy talking at the counter. One employee gave me dirty look and walked right passed me into a back room. Attn: owners get some staff that has some sales experience if sold more probably lower prices.

The fragrance that SLAPS you in the face and follows you throughout the entire store is nauseating. You can't get away. 4 staff members at the front couldn't even welcome you into the store, or ask if you needed any assistance was equally gross. Only positive thing was there were some interesting things in the store but be prepared to pay more than it's really worth.

There are endless finds at the Forestwood Antique Mall but when you find just know your going to get sticker shock. Everything was priced so incredibly that I didn't take anything home. There are so many antique malls and estate sales in the area for other options and better prices that I don't think I'd personally be back. I did see several personal designers there buying for their clients so that's more likely their clientele then someone like me that just loves a hunt & old stuff.

This antique mall does occasionally have some good stuff but a heads up that Vendor 458 sells records that are defective. We bought one that looked great yet didn't play correctly. The vendor had to have known it didn't play correctly. What's more the mall will not give refunds even when selling a product that is defective. So we are not going to buy from Vendor 458 again and will be extremely cautious with the other vendors from whom we've not found so much worth the asking price. I would recommend people check out nearby Dallas Antique Mall.

Today I was accused of changing price tags in this place. This used to be a nice store with a friendly staff. The manager and the other employees were rude and accusatory. Why can't they look at their so called cameras everywhere instead of accusing a long time customer. This is not the way to run a business. I intend to file a complaint with the BBB also. This place also sold me a fake antique painting once before.

I've shopped here for years, and they have beautiful things, sometimes a bit overpriced. unlike other reviewets. I have no problem with the staff -- I find them generally helpful and accommodating. recently, though, I bought 2 large designer pillows but unfortunately, my client did not approve them. I called the store, two days after my purchase, and asked them to contact the booth owner. I wanted to arrange a merchandise exchange in the same dealer's booth. with no hesitation, I was told it is the policy to never accept returns at this mall. I was very disappointed that given the short time frame since the purchase. and the staff's familiarity with me, that they would not at least inquire about an exchange. I'm rather disappointed, and hesitant to buy for clients again.0

Please don't confuse this consignment shop with a thrift store. You'll be in for quite a shock. They've got great vendors with absolutely gorgeous solid pieces of different styles. And you will get what you pay for. it's really a true antique store. I believe their Cafe is open but I'm not sure of the hours. Only reason for a 4 out of 5 stars is because I think they need some lower price point items. You can't please everyone, but I think they'd do well to have some more booths with lower price point antique furniture. Staff and the vendors who are on site were a super friendly and helpful.

My mom and I have loved shopping here in the past but our last experience was not so positive. Many of the newer booths are charging astronomical prices. This place used to be a great and reasonably priced place to find unique decor but now it's hard to find a pillow for under $190. It's disheartening going from booth to booth realizing that you can't afford hardly anything. It would be helpful to have owners at the booths so we could negotiate prices.

I have purchased from this antique mall many times over the years. My recent visit, however, will be the last. The extremely rude staff make this place an unwelcoming destination. I would not recommend this antique store to anyone.

Have shopped periodically here for the last ten years almost always buying decorative accessories. Staff has ranged from indifferent to extremely nice until we called today looking for a specific, distinctive larger item. The man who answered could not be bothered to look and call us back because "it's too a big and there are too many booths". It isn't as though we asked for a floral patterned tea cup. Guess business must be booming--I'm sure the dealers who pay to rent space would appreciate that response. Mr. Lazy not withstanding, it's a large space (an old grocery store) with a nice variety of merchandise. It tends to be more expensive and a bit more old world but it's a fun browse nonetheless.

Very very neat stuff, they have a store with lots of pretty and decent Prices on the crystals, a lot of other items were very cool but I think they were more on the expensive side

Very expensive antique store. I was continuously shocked by the prices listed on most of the items. Don't go here unless you're ready to drop serious cash. I was also never greeted or asked if I needed help.

It's been several years since I've been here and there are some changes. First of all let me say the three stars are for the broad quality selection of items available from primarily 1920-1965. If you need items from this time they probably have something for you. Now for the two star down side. Prices marked are on the high side and non negotiable! Disappointing because traditionally in these types of places( including this one) in the past % 10 was taken off the top just for asking. In addition, there are no bargains or, fixer upper project stuff. So do it yourselfers shouldn't waste time.

Love this place. My mom and I loved coming here at least once or twice a month. The little tea room was a great place to have soup, salad and sandwiches. My mom has gone to heaven but I still get over there when I can

If I lived in this area, this mall would've been my daily local haunt. Loved it, some really good vendors in here.

I've been shopping at Forestwood for years. Previously I've enjoyed roaming the aisles for treasures. The last few times I've visited and made purchases, I've observed the employees posted at the front desk are *exceptionally* rude. The woman who checked me out this afternoon was nothing short of awful. Her behavior is not an isolated event and I've experienced similar attitudes from other employees. I'm disappointed that these smug, unfriendly attitudes are apart of the Forestwood culture. I will take my business and out of town company elsewhere to peruse. I do not recommend visiting Forestwood unless you wish to be treated rudely.

A neat antique mall, had a great experience until one of the ladies with the Chanel earrings was rude to us while checking out. She was busy with some books which is fine, but the way she was short with us and ignored us was uncalled for. We nearly left with out making our purchase. Probably/sadly won't return here for antiquing!

A really cool antique shop to visit!!! It's very large with lots of cool stuff!. The staff is very friendly & helpful!

Staff makes the whole place feel tense, like you're inconveniencing them by even showing up. Don't they want us to shop lol???

This place is huge! Their prices for the most part are high end retail, but there are some affordable pieces here. Bought a couple of small things for the wife, but was a bit surprised that they had little in the way of wall hangar type items. It is a pricey place but you could easily spend half a day there.

I purchased a chandelier labeled Strauss crystal. It was hanging when I purchased it and put in a box before I paid for it so it could not be examined. Once I got home, I discovered it was mostly glass. I asked to speak to the manager and she was not only rude but implied I was not intelligent enough to know the difference. Be careful if you buy from this store.. it can be mislabeled or misrepresented and it is buyer beware. For the prices they charge, they should stand behind their merchandise and the claims they make.

Big place to walk around, clean and well air conditioned. I can't give it 5 stars because I felt the items were much more gaudy 90s items trying to look older than they were, or truly vintage items priced well over what they're worth. One vintage ornament ball with no design or special shape $5-$10. Little trinkets without makers marks or info on them, $125. We just walked around shocked at price tags and not finding anything antique about 90s ornate decor. Fun to browse the huge space but I doubt we would find any items if we went back again.

I've come to this antique store several times, and purchased many things over the years. I do find the items somewhat overpriced, but enjoy the vast selection of vendors & items. While the staff has always been somewhat cold and aloof, it's something I've ignored for the most part. On my visit today Walter was particularly rude. I stood politely at the checkout area asking if it would be possible to leave an item there while I continued to shop. He looked directly at me twice as he went to pick up the phone right where I was standing. He didn't even have the decency to acknowledge me or say a single word. Finally I walked away after continuously being ignored. As someone who has worked in retail before, I would NEVER treat a customer that way. I almost left without purchasing an item I really wanted because of the experience. During checkout he was rude & aloof. I'm rethinking shopping here in the future. Do better.

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.

This is a great antique mall probably one of the best in the Dallas-Fort Worth area if you ask me. It has great vendors typically it has reasonable prices and it has a very good restaurant in house as well. It is conveniently located at the corner of Forest Lane and the tollway just off of Inwood. They also have a great clock shop that is inside.

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.

I felt very uncomfortable in this antique mall with some of the staff. As soon as I walked in there was no mask in sight by a younger employee in glasses. On top of that she was in workout attire wholly inappropriate for a high end antique mall. But I brushed past it hoping to find what I was looking for. I asked a question hoping that my preconceived notions would be proven wrong, but the same employee acted as if I had interrupted something important though it was a slow early afternoon. She repeatedly glared at me, and Made exasperated huffs throughly our short interaction. When I was around a corner I even heard her in the midst of a conversation about hard drug use. I was so incredibly disgusted, and disheartening by this employee that I don't feel comfortable returning to forestwood with an employee overseeing customers such as that. And sadly until staffing improves or changes, I'll have to take my and my acquaintance's business elsewhere. I hope forestwood figures this out because the mall truly has amazing pieces and dealers, but The staff needs less rude characters, especially when they're getting back into the swing of things after quarantine.

I need a 2.5 star lol This place has some beautiful things in it and great prices to way to high prices. All sorts of different things! And is a very large place. My husband and I found the staff to be extremely rude and disconnected. We are standing at the counter trying to purchase a couple items and they just stare at us. If I hadn't of wanted the item so much I would have walked away. Obviously u work here ur behind the register....so speak to us!!!! Even while ringing us out my husband tried to talk to them about their business and wanting more information like how long this place had been here or just any kind of random communication. But nothing. Either way i didn't like it.

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!!

Very pricey, not your typical antique place that you want to go to, to find deals! I have seen the same antiques other places for a quarter of the price! I think bc of the area, they have over priced items.

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!

My first impression is great! Good store and some interesting dealers.... Until I was about 1/3rd 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 1/3rd 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.

Welcome to the Antiques Road Show! If you've ever watched the Antiques Roadshow you will usually see a look of disbelief by the people when the appraiser quotes them the value of their object. Get ready to have this look when you look at the price tags on most of the objects at this place. To be fair a lot of the items you find at Forestwood are beautiful and they have much more real antiques than arts & crafts dealers, unlike other faux antique stores. This is a real antique store, and if you are comfortable with easily dropping several $100s a visit, this is for you. To me, the price levels are just way too rich for my blood. Simple things like a small wooded pipe rest (not ornate or carved, just a round block of wood with indention) was $30. I think that was the bottom of the price range scale because I didn't see anything else for less. Most furniture from small 2'x3' cabinets to chairs were hovering around $1K or more, to much, much, much more for larger items. Most of the smaller things you would find in your grandmothers display were around $90. While I understand that dealers try to make a profit off of what they buy at estate sales and other places, I know that if I took a weekend to do the same I could easily find most of these item's for 50% - 70% less money. Or for 30% - 50% less I could probably find them at Dolly Python or one of the Lula Bs. Keeping my arm & leg

There's a tea/dessert cafe 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!

I am a huge antique fan, and I couldn't wait to try this place out. I also collect tons of Braniff memorabilia, so I was sure I'd find something here. The jewelry selection is impressive, and the dealer in the back of the store reset a sapphire in my antique ring beautifully. The ring looked like brand new when I went back to get it. I was so pleased! There is a really nice variety of items here, from Victorian Era to Mid-Century. I loved looking through all the dealer booths. The place is indeed huge...be prepared to spend at least most of the day here. The cafe is nice for a break. They make pretty good gazpacho! As it turned out, the man who ran the custom framing place in the back of the mall had a HUGE selection of Braniff stuff, which I have slowly been acquiring over time. He even framed an Alexander Calder lithograph that my bf and I bought from him, and did a beautiful job. His name is Alan, and I HIGHLY recommend him for those of you looking for quality custom framing. I love the helpfulness of the staff here, and how patient they are when you ask to have a cabinet opened if you want to see something. I am crazy about this place, and I will keep coming!

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.

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)!

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.

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 decor 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 cafe 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.
