I I scored an awesome 50's leather clutch and some fun earrings . This review is really for the staff . Thank you for showing kindness to my father! He had asked to use the bathroom at one of the neighbor places , they told him no . This place was nice enough to let my dad use their bathroom . He just wasn't paying attention when they told him where it was . Thank you to the employee who showed kindness and walked him to where it was. Such a nice simple thing to do but it made me really happy to support a business that believes in kindness . Many thanks !

I wish I could give a 3.5 rating, since overall it was a good experience…read more So here's the deal. - lack of large signage on the exterior, makes it easy to miss being it blends in with the other businesses along the strip. -upon entering you may be given a strip of SOLD stickers. If not, you can find them by the registers. They're for tagging larger items you want to buy. You put the sticker on, and take it's product/price tag to the cashier for check-out. -the store is packed with items and people, which makes moving around not so easy. I don't think it's ideal for walkers, wheelchairs, or strollers. If you have mobility challenges, navigating may be tough. -some items don't have a price tag, like the pillow I bought. I asked the cashier how the price is determined, and was advised they assign what they think is a fair price at check-out. My pillow was valued at $4. -i got there at 10:07am, 7 mins after they opened and there were people everywhere. That said, if you're a serious shopper arrive early to see the goods before the super-early birds snatch it all up. -again, it's filled with stuff; mainly furniture, home decor, dinnerware, kitchen goods, some shoes, books, and I even saw cute scarves and bags. It didn't seem like a destination for clothes. Now that I'v summed that up, I do believe it's a nice option for thrifting and would definitely recommend it.

It's fun to see things from your grandparents house. Memories. Such a wide selection from lamps to books to furniture to tools to decor. Something different every time!

I stopped in to Antiques on Mainstreet to find specific items to use for shelf decorations, like…read moreold books. It's always tough going in to an antique shop with specific needs as you never know what you'll find. Anyway, the store is two levels and set up with individual stalls for each vendor. The basement has a large collection of books but unfortunately they were a bit high for me (although totally fair priced). Good variety of items although it felt like at the moment, they had less decor and more collectibles, broadly speaking. The workers were all nice and offered to let me put my items down while I shopped. Definitely a place to stop by if you're on the hunt for antiques or just enjoy browsing!

Had a lot of cool stuff from what I was able to see. We stopped in about 45 minutes before they…read moreclosed. We were asked 3 separate times what we needed and were basically told to hurry up because they were closing soon. Ended up leaving without purchasing anything because of this. It was pretty off putting.

Wow! So much to look at! Spent a fun hour or so meandering through all the vintage finds. I wished…read moreI'd known about the bottom level, I could have spent another hour! Loved all the unique pieces, could have bought more than my bust of Apollo, but I had to pack whatever I could in my suitcase haha. The bus was a little pricey at $50 but I love it and there were plenty of staff around if you needed help finding anything I did ask if they had any marble chess boards, they did not thankfully for me. It probably would've been another hundred lol fun time searching around!

This is a really cool store. So many cool vintage items and craft (especially scrapbooking/junk…read morejournaling) things. It's like a giant yard sale. They have an outside area with giant letters from signs, garden items and such. The main rooms upstairs are all kinds of random pieces of art, photos and supplies, dolls and more and downstairs they have even more stuff to check out. Jam packed, can be a bit overwhelming. It was my first time going and didn't really know what to expect but I'll for sure be back to grab some things for my scrapbooks & other art projects. I will say it's a bit crowded & very warm, they did have fans in the basement which was nice.

First, if you love the hunt for vintage and antiques, don't get caught up in people issues. Some…read morefolks review antique shops expressing disappointment in customer service. Huh? Antique shops, especially malls are a mix of interesting people who put their time and soul into creating and maintaining the treasure trove in their shops. For most, this a passion and not big business. I browse antique shops to find special things, immerse my senses in times past and enjoy a time-out from life's pressures. This mall is a continuing source for many wonderful things in my home and the first place I shop for gifts. I find that if I'm sincere and polite, people generally respond in kind. So true at every shop on this street. Love antiquing? You'll enjoy this mall.

RUDE STAFF. As I was browsing a booth full of jewelry the seller came over to hover over shoppers…read more I asked her if she could tell me anything about a ring I had. Because she sold jewelry I assumed she might know. Instead of helping me, she YELLED at me and belittled me. She could have politely told me she didn't know or directed me elsewhere but instead she embarrassed me and caused me to leave the store crying, and buying NOTHING. Bad for business. Don't even bother shopping here unless you like getting put down. There are plenty of other good antique stores around the area with friendly staff! Try Pink Elephant!

I was really impressed by The Loft's selection of antlers, most of all. Antlers are the new owls…read more(and foxes are the new antlers, if the trend forecasting in my mind is correct). Like so many of these thrifty antique stores (some of them literally right around the corner, across the street AND next door to this place), The Loft so much bigger than it looks. The first floor isn't huge, but the basement goes on forever. It's just room after room of interesting oldies, but goodies. The woman upstairs was on the phone a lot, but she was still friendly. The guy working downstairs was helping someone move a piece out of the basement, but he still took the time to say hello. Kinda small, but appreciate that stuff. :) The specialty is clearly home-related merchandise, and I'd recommend checking The Loft out for furniture like credenzas, sofa tables, buffets, dressers and the like. There were a lot of cool options for that kind of furniture and all of it natural, beautiful wood and most of it in good shape. Also those antlers. Lots of mounted antlers of all shapes and sizes and most in the $50-75 range. The jewelry that I saw wasn't anything special and I didn't see much in the way of clothing aside from a few coats and fur stoles. The prices were moderate. I picked up a couple of items and was surprised at the higher-than-I'd've-thought expense, but mostly moderate. [I'd've=probably not a word.] In addition, I overheard a woman buying set of silverware haggle mildly with the shopkeeper and they knocked 10% off. A good reminder to me that it never hurts to ask for a better price at an antique store!

City Chic is a bit of a misleading name for this shop. It's not really what I would call "chic" or…read more"urban." It's mainly large pieces of wooden (mostly unpainted), country-style furniture and rocking horses. I kid not. Lots of rocking horses. If you're looking for what look to be handmade rocking horses, I can't think of a better place in town. On the furniture end, the selection is not at all my style but that's not to say that it's bad. Just not my thing, so I can't knock 'em for that. The offer free local delivery.

While we are always looking for old wooden pieces (oak and other nice woods), we weren't able to find what we were looking for on this day, it's still fun to browse. The owner did suggest where we might look though. Yes, she was at a computer, but I'm pretty sure she was looking something up for another customer that was there in the middle of a conversation. If I'm ever looking for a nice antique wooden piece, I'll for sure make this one of my stops. Also, nothing is painted, true, but everything is stained for it's time... it's not unfinished pieces. There is nothing better than a classic oak piece to make you appreciate fine craftsmanship!
