They have items such as: antique and vintage lighting, hardware, furniture, miscellaneous architectural fixtures, and so much more. And lots of these items come from local homes and buildings, so you are helping "recycle the past" as they like to say. While moseying around the shop, I inquired about a couple of light fixtures that were out of reach and they were very friendly and helpful when following up with questions. It was not difficult to find someone to assist me at all. The prices are at a premium here because you are finding unique items that are in excellent condition and often times hard to find. I found a 8pc set of drawer pulls that I was hunting for an antique dresser for years. Patience and luck came together for me at Old Portland Hardware. Looking forward to my next visit!

To say I'm angry is an understatement. I have spent a significant amount of money on their website,…read moreI have been a loyal customer, and have provided them with plenty of earned media (free content on social platforms) . I purchased a dining table in early December and after check out, realized I was charged tax on the shipping cost for this large item which was near nearly $500 on its own. I have been asking via email if it is typical to apply this practice since it has never happened on any other purchase, and shipping is not a tangible good. I have sent multiple follow up emails to their support team and have received no response. Today I come here to write this review and realized from other folks that had I purchased this item from Instagram I would not have been charged the shipping at all and I'm now even angrier that this appears to be what I would consider unprofessional and deceptive practices. A much bigger concern than the non-response of emails. I attempted to buy the table on IG and sure enough no shipping charge. Because the item that I purchased was considered nonrefundable, I now think I'm going to have to dispute the entire charge with my credit card company and reject the delivery unless they are willing to refund my shipping cost which considering the lack of emails, is highly unlikely. I'm greatly disappointed and have found that their business practices have become questionable since they were acquired by Food 52. What used to be a locally owned and operated business with principles and ethics that reflected that kind of organization have now gone off the rails, and I just can't see continuing to support them any longer if this is not made right.

No matter the size of the job, the quality of their work is always top-notch. They're a family-owned local business that truly takes pride in what they do.
