Woodward Throwbacks

Bo and her team are amazing! Been an IG fan for a while; finally had the opportunity to travel from Canada to see the showroom in person. Such unique uses of repurposed things. As a Detroit sports fan, this Tigers collab drew me out and I’m so glad I visited their space. SO. MUCH. COOL STUFF!!

UPDATE: Megan gave me a call to offer suggestions on caring for my table. She even purchased a wax to have delivered to my home! I will admit that when I arrived at the shop, I could have asked questions, but I was trying to make pickup a quick errand. Getting the table home gave me time to look at it more closely and stimulate some wonderings. My recommendation is to add product care tips to product listings based on desired look and how these repurposed metals may age. I’m grateful to Megan for helping me understand more and I raise my review from 3 stars to 5. I was very pleased with my email correspondence with Angelica and Megan. Angelica was helpful in getting me current photos of the table I was interested in. She passed me onto Megan to arrange pickup. Megan was really nice over email and in person, welcoming me and thanking me more than once for my purchase. I think she’s the one who I met along with Ginger the dog. She put Ginger away after the dog sweetly welcomed me into the warehouse (the dog was not in the showroom). She walked me to my table and helped me load it into my car. We needed to detach the leg for it to fit so she got some help. I’m sure I recognized the guy with the power drill as the co-owner. He hardly said hello to me before detaching the leg. I guess he was busy, but I appreciated the assistance. Upon getting the table home, I realized it would need some TLC to look like it did online. I wasn’t expecting to do the touching up that it will require and I feel it should have been made to look like it’s online photo for my scheduled pickup. The top is beautiful, but the leg is rusty and dull. I’m happy with the overall quality, but I was hoping for a more polished, although rustic, look.

If I could give Woodward Throwbacks a 6th star, I would. Since discovering their shop and Instagram last year, I've been excited every time I step into their warehouse or see new content on social media. They offer great kitchenware, furniture, and decor. I believe preserving and highlighting vintage craftsmanship is something more of us should prioritize. I'm thrilled that the WT team provides both a space and community culture to do just that, and I proudly display several of their pieces in my home.

I’ve found so many incredible, unique items from WT. Not only do they have one-of-a-kind local vintage pieces, they also do amazing large and small-scale reimagined salvage work. I’ve gotten everything from vintage 1950s golf prints, to reclaimed original Pewabic tiles, to old-world framed paintings. My son loves to look through their store and the staff is incredibly patient with his busy-ness and curiosity, always handing out stickers and asking if we need help! I’d highly recommend following them on Instagram (same name) to stay up-to-date on all their happenings and see an intimate look into their salvage, building, and creative process. If you’re a homeowner, or even just renting, I can’t recommend checking out this place enough. Hoping I can commission this team in the future to do an island for our kitchen!

Great spot! I love the pieces they have salvaged and their attention to detail in their design. Very excited to see how the company evolves and continues to create in coming years!

I went here during the hours they said they were open: closed. They even had their hours posted in the store window, which I was within. Still closed. Shows a total disregard for people’s time. Update your hours and stick to them. EDIT: if you check their hours and visit them in that time and they’re closed, they’ll blame you for being “confused”. Then ask why you didn’t call without considering that some people come from other countries, some people have phones with dead batteries, and some people just don’t have phones at all. The better question is why not just be open when you say you will. Instead of responding with a snarky response, admit you made a mistake and commit to doing better. It does not make you look good to offer poor customer service and then double down with a rude response. I followed your rules, you weren’t there, take accountability instead of lashing out. Edit 2: this review was left on Monday but I went to the store last Friday at 3. Feel free to update your IG story with that detail.

Really love the blend of sustainable and historical this place offers. My dining room is set for life!

They cut 3 doors to size and that came out perfectly! I had an extremely odd size for the doors and they were able to make it work
