If you like vintage and antiques, this place is quite a treasure trove. There are so many items and…read morethey are placed quite haphazardly with no clear signs on what each aisles contain. Except for the records which are grouped together and near the door. Otherwise it is pure browsing. Some things are super old and yellowed with age. I guess this can also be an educational place to bring your kids to show them what the old televisions or stereos look like. I heard they may move soon due to rental increase and Steel and Oak brewery will take over the premises. So do pop by soon before a slice of history is gone.

The more time you spend here, the more surprises you'll uncover. Browse through their wonderful and jumbled collection of kitschy / classic / rare treasures.

Like a large garage sale and Ted is there, to price and to haggle over the well recycled merchandise from 'antique' mirrors and long lived furniture to old film set lights or grannies flatware.

I agree with Valerie G.'s review that the workers here are not friendly, I would characterize them…read moreas snobby. The reason for my review, however, is not about customer service - or maybe it is. I purchased a painting from this group. I like the painting a great deal but when it was sold to me it was stated (as well as on the selling tag) that it was an unsigned work of a specific artist. I took their word for it but am also not naive. I liked the painting and paid a fair price for it. After purchasing the art I was curious if they were being honest so I emailed the artist and asked if it was indeed his work. He said no it was not. I believe that this was a selling tactic of the group and did not appreciate it.

It's all right. Some pieces priced appropriately and others were (imo) a bit overpriced. Well…read moreorganized and clean.

Such as a bright orange Eames reproduction chair - hey, what is this place? It's the Banana Lab, a hidden treasure trove of mid-century modern furniture and little design-y things. Hidden in plain sight, really, as it's just across the street from a Yelper fave, Big Star Sandwich. Frankly, I'm heartened there's now another MCM-focused vintage store in town! Packed into the Lab's small space is a number of nifty teak sideboards, record cabinets, chairs and other Danish modern furnishings and housewares for my soon-to-be groovier living room. Prices compare favourably to the *other* MCM store, and the proprietors here seem really nice and friendly and enthusiastic about their wares.

I came here today for the first time as I'm looking for a dining set. The lady who helped me was…read morevery kind and friendly and helped me measure tables and chairs so I can have some reference when considering the pieces in my home. There's plenty of mid century furniture to choose from and upon inspection of some of their refinished items, they do an incredible job. Like with vintage and hard wood furnitures, some of the pieces are not cheap but they're unique and will last a long time. The other plus to this store is their kitschy (and sometimes original) art pieces and tchotchkes. I prefer this place to the shop in the Quay so I'll most likely come back as a few items tweaked my fancy (especially the sunburst table) and I'll be sure to let people know about this place.

This antique shop has some interesting stuff, but it seems to suffer from split personality. First…read moreimpressions upon entering the shop are that it's a bit of a junk palace - the most prominently displayed items are cassette tapes from the 70s and 80s and sports memorabilia. Not being a sports fan and long having since discarded my tape deck (though I do still think fondly of my first, bright yellow Walkman), I was about to walk out when I noticed an umbilically connected second half to the store. This half is filled with some lovely antique furniture. A big china cabinet displayed figurines and crystal, and there were some suitably ornate chests, side tables, chairs, and dining sets. I'm noticing, in my tour of New West's antique alley, that good vintage sofas are hard to come by. However, china sets and figurines, such as those fake-flower things my grandma likes, are all over the place. While this store doesn't have a huge selection of old furniture, it does have some interesting pieces, and finer furniture than some other shops in the area. If your taste is more traditional, you might like this store.

What a horrible loss for the community. Front Street is one of New Westminster's most charming heritage locations and the fire raged through 2 buildings destroying several vibrant businesses.

Pricing is very reasonable.
