Highly recommend checking out the place before buying anything brand new online. Shop smart, shop local!

My favorite is a huge steel desk with a rubberized top, the top looks like it has some hammer marks in it - built to stand up to anything. Very 50's looking. A real bear to move, but I think it was something like $100 - what a deal.

So much for the sign outside their office that reads "less that big box prices".

The samosas were delicious. The good thing is they are baked not fried and they are not a bit oily. They are generously filled and seasoned perfectly!

The guy there had apologized and truly was a good help. He did mention she was new, so I can understand the mistake.

I am glad they are closed down for now. I had a really horrible experience there one day at the…read moreantique mall. There was a broken doll on the floor, and one of the staff members kept following me and asked if I was the one who broke it. I told them no, but then two staff members continued following me around, demanding that I pay for it and threatening to call the police. Their behavior was very intimidating, and I ended up crying in front of them while asking them to stop treating me that way. I truly felt profiled and discriminated against during the entire situation. Afterward, I posted a Google review and tried many times to contact the manager, but my calls never resolved anything. Eventually, their lawyer contacted me and asked me to remove the review, saying they would have the staff go through training. However, that did not resolve the harm that was done, because the experience left me traumatized.

It is a little pricy depending what you're interested in. When we went, lots of the booths featured Christmas decorations. I fell in love with a beautiful retro Santa. He will bring magic and merriment to our home each holiday season starting next year (my husband wouldn't let me have my present early, or Santa would be proudly on display this year too lol). Everything I looked at was in good condition, especially considering how old some of the items were. I was hoping to see more vintage clothes and housewares, so I'll have to go back after the holidays to see what they put out. Staff was friendly and helpful. I'll be back soon I'm sure.
