Hello Guff! We stopped by and found the perfect dining room table (we've been searching for…read moreawhile). And the next day we picked it up. We're happy to have it sitting in our home now. But that's not what I'm writing to you about -- I'm writing because shopping at your store was a great experience! ...from the moment we stepped through the door of Guff and were greeted (by Schroeder) to being assisted with checking out the table/being shown how the drop leafs work (by Schroeder) to paying for the table and a couple of ceramic cups and saucers (the latter just having arrived/but Schroeder looked them up/"no problem") to having our table prepped for pick up (by Paul and Schroeder) to being greeted the next day with a smile (by Paul) to the assist with the table being lifted into the back of our SUV (by Paul) ...it could not have been a better experience!! We will definitely be back -- AND we'll pass on to everyone we know and then some, what a great place to shop Guff is!

However, I won't be doing so here again. I made an online order and after I was charged for the full amount, the seller took one item off the list. Maybe it was unavailable, I don't know. No explanation was provided. However, I was not refunded. I went in to pick up the items and the staff did not take the opportunity to address it or refund me at that time, either. As my credit card statement appeared weeks later, I noticed and followed up via email. Two days later I called and was treated berated by the staff for calling before he had a chance to respond to my email. I asked if we could resolve it on the phone and he rudely told me he had a line of customers (I mean, okay, but I've been there, sort of unlikely on a Thursday morning) and essentially hung up on me. Dude, if you're so busy, why answer the phone? Anyway, if you like spending hundreds at a place where they don't bother doing refunds and then yell at you for following up, this is your place. I'll go elsewhere from here on out.

I just picked up two beautiful antique chairs that had been damaged by a puppy chewing on the arms…read more The damage was extensive and made more difficult to repair because of an antique paint finish. The repair was done 'in house' at Green's Antiques and I couldn't be more happy with the result. The chairs look like the original and the antique paint finish touch up is impossible to tell from the original antique paint. Bev promised her "guy" would do a great job and he did! Also the pricing was reasonable and fair considering the time it would have taken do the restoration. I highly recommend Green's Antiques. Al Mainprize

He locked the door behind us. I have never been treated like this before in my life. It was weird. I wondered if it was because my husband wasn't white. I was looking at a couple of porcelain flowers to add to my collection and wanted to look at a few larger prices of furniture at the back, They didn't want my business and now will never have it. There are many shops with better prices in Toronto and I would recommend them over this place. My husband thought the broken watches were over priced.

As a lover of all things vintage I was absolutely enamored the second I walked in this shop…read more They have everything, although I was on a hunt for a silver vintage locket, early 1900's era, I took a peek at a lot of their stuff! Vases, purses, lamps, furniture, art, China, crystal and the JEWELLERY OHMYGOD. This is a huge shop and everything has been meticulously curuated. I loved everything. The owner had lovely gentleman help me choose a locket out while she showed my boyfriend some gorgeous vintage engagement rings! They had hundreds of lockets which were all wonderfully organized. I found the perfect one and he helped me choose the perfect chain. Came back to the boyfriend to discover Cynthia showing him the prettiest engagement rings. They had the loveliest art deco rings. Elegant dinner rings and show stopping solitaires. The owner was kind and so patient. She taught us about each ring we liked, it's history and quality. I just love a piece with a story. My partner bought me my locket and the owner even gave me a petite bottle of Dom champagne for my birthday! I will definitely be back and could spend all day looking at different items and picking up my own treasures. Thanks for the champagne Cynthia. It was such a pleasure chatting with you. I love my locket!!

From traditional to unique, the contents of the store is drool worthy. We had patient, helpful service, and recommend them as a place to include as a source for engagement and wedding pieces. You cannot wheel and deal here most unfortunate as I have friends that are jeweller designers and they insist this store is over priced however you are likely to find that special piece you will not see elsewhere like that topaz ring Ive been dying for for 4 years. In relation to the reviewer who had the high engraving cost. How unfortunate (in this situation a minimum 50% reimbursement would have been kindly). If it brings any solace, I have pieces hand engraved and machine engraved. Hand is by landslides better looking and the sentiment makes it a truly endearing piece forever.

I am very, very happy with the quality of refinishing work done by Elbers Antiques. I feel that I received value for money and the cabinet will be enjoyed for years to come. In addition, I had a treasured old dresser made by my grandfather refinished. Many years ago, I had ruined the wood finish by spilling a bottle of ink on it. Elbers Antiques refinished the dresser, removing the ink stain and bringing the dresser back to its original state. Again, I am very happy with the quality refinishing work done by Albers Antiques. Thank you so much!! E. Nairne

The neighbourhood is changed a lot since the early 2000s when it was fairly quiet. Now because of…read morethe condos and other developments, it's full of life and new stores and new restaurants. Fortunately not all of its quaint character has been swept away. Elbers has the feel of the old Queen Street - family run, friendly, and a place you can depend on because it's been around so long. Lots of great stuff in here and the repairs are affordable and superb. So glad to have this place nearby. Stop in and enjoy it. The owner is a nice guy too.

When I did a google search I called the company with the most reviews but it felt impersonal. I did a yelp search and this company came up. I just had a lovely conversation with a women (who's name I didn't get) she was polite, attentive and if she were servicing my area I would have hired her and I asked more then once if she had anyone in my area but we're too far to be efficient. What I appreciated most was how she clearly summarized how the business works so that I would have something to base my search on- what's included what's not, what they do, how they do what they do, what to expect from start to end- that required time and professionalism. She made me feel like a client despite being out of her jurisdiction. Dear Ms- I thank you for your time and appreciate your kindness and I am grateful you answered my call. It was perfect timing to have connected with you and you set the bar for the service I am seeking in your industry! If you're looking for help, and you're in the Ottawa and surrounding area- I hope you give this business a call and mention my review so you show you're invested in this process and you'll I feel confident in saying this business will be invested in you also.

I was very disappointed in the service offered by Estate Sales Ontario. My brother passed away in…read moreearly July. Estate Sales Ontario arranged a sale in late August. The auction day went well. However, the Estate Sales Ontario owner had promised us that she would dispose of any unsold items in my brother's apartment. (This promise was also on her website at the time.) This did not happen. We were left with one week to dispose of various large items ourselves in a difficult time of Covid. The owner promised a prompt reckoning and payment from the auction. This also did not happen. It took several months and repeated reminders for any payment to arrive. The owner told us she had "overlooked" our payment because she was so busy. I live in another province. It took three months for items I bid on to arrive. Expect politeness and promises when you first talk to this owner but little follow-through. Very disappointing service.

I had to go in (insert bull in a china shop reference here) I was taken aback as the space is tight. The shop expands in the back so there is more display space. They do sell items that are supposed to be passed from one generation to another (treated as investment) though I did see some decent prices on some brands. For a small shop like they ensure repeat business by a very well trained and knowledgeable staff. Help was there when needed and never over bearing. In addition they offer cleaning and repair service for your heirloom items (silverware, china etc.) Decent spot to visit if you like these kind of places. 3.5 Stars.

It's a tight space and of course you need to be careful as you don't want to knock over anything but wow..it's all so beautiful. Everything from Royal Dalton to Waterford crystal to other brands can be found here. Tea cups/saucers; crystal decanters, little decor boxes, jewellery boxes; cake plates, serving plates ..etc...etc. can be found here. They even have those baby items/cups (Bunnykins I think is the brand name). Just looking through all the amazing vintage pieces is an amazing step back in time. Well kept and well stocked this is a great place to pick up a few key pieces to add a bit of spectacular to your home or as a great gift for a wedding or anniversary. I will definitely be back as I would love to have a Waterford crystal piece in my home.
