I have bought lots and lots of stuff from here mostly because of the friendly atmosphere, and the quality of stuff is pretty good, even though the inventory pretty much never changes. Even so, it's my favorite antique store in fortuna or eureka. I would recommend this place to anyone. The back 2 rooms have lots of auto and racing stuff and beer signage , and the back two rooms are 50 percent off as of now (5/20/18). That would usually be the first place I would make a beeline for.

They share personal information such as medical history with people in the community. This was an extremely bad experience that made my grieving process much worse than necessary.

I recently visited 4th Street Mercantile over the weekend and was immediately met with a policy…read morerequiring all customers to lock their personal belongings, including purses, in a locker before entering the store. While I understand that businesses have a right to set security measures, the way this was enforced made me and my friend feel as though we were suspected of theft before even browsing the items. Spending money at a store should be a welcoming experience. Instead, the requirement felt degrading and created an atmosphere of distrust from the very first moment. It is disheartening to be treated with suspicion simply for wanting to shop. Because of this negative interaction and the feeling of being treated as a potential thief, I will not be returning to this establishment. I will also be sharing my experience with friends and family to ensure others are aware of this policy before they plan their visit. If you are planning to go, be prepared to surrender your personal items before you can even look at the merchandise. It is a significant barrier that changes the entire vibe of the shopping experience.

Very interesting stuff , if you can get past the smell of stale weed and coughing homeless folks. Definitely worth checking out if you are looking for something specific because they have all kinds of weird old stuff .
