This came up on Yelp during my search for antique stores in Hickory. This is NOT an antique store…read morebut it's a pretty cool furniture store with what seemed to be reasonable prices.

A very nice consignment store, well laid out, up and downstairs. Lots of stuff, although all we…read morewanted to see were chairs. Help was available and they were very helpful. We saw one chair we liked. It would fit our needs, was the acceptable color, material and size...a la my wife's seeking standards. Did we buy it? Of course not. Hickory is loaded with furniture outlets, so off we went a exploring. A couple of more locations and them the big kaboom: the Hickory Furniture Mart. Another review coming on this enormous, four level block-filling edifice containing just about any manufacturer and style of furniture one could imagine. We did not find anything that was better than the one at The Hickory Tree, so after some coffee and lunch at the Olde Hickory Station (see that review), we returned to the Hickory Tree. Since this was a consignment store, all items had a sales price tag with the prices listed over time. What I mean is that a price of $175 was scheduled to cost $150 on the first of the next month, then it would cost $135 the next month, and so on. This being the middle of the month, and not wanting to risk the desire chair being sold while we waited, we bought it...right then. They accepted credit cards. With the help of a young man we loaded this chair into our SUV and were off for home. An excellent, but exhausting furniture shopping experience that I survived. Before you blow your mind out looking for furniture all over, start here at the Hickory Tree. Prices reasonable and mark-downs abound. And nice people.

The store is tidy and pretty well organized with departments and shelving that is neatly on display. You'll find all sorts of stuff, much of which is always here and some of which is seasonal or special. Cleaning products, laundry detergent, soaps. Tshirts and underwear and socks. Small appliances including fans and portable air conditioners, cookware and mattress sets. Dishware, cutlery, glassware, kitchenware and cookware. Food items including canned vegetables, sauces, pasta and candy. Patio furniture. Area rugs and runners. A huge display of bargain books. If you have an open mind, you'll end up filling your shopping cart at Ollie's. [Review 15412 overall, 915 of 2021, number 2962 in North Carolina.]

I am always amazed by Hobby lobby. It's like Home goods and Michael's and Joann's had a baby…read more I was curious to see if hobby lobby carries a better or different selection of yarn for my new hobby of knitting. They don't have the same brand as Joannes and Michael's and there were some slightly different color selections but definitely not as much variety. In addition, they only offer the 140% off coupon as opposed to Joannes and Michael's that have more coupons available. I also thought the clearance section was larger than it was but soon realized that it was mainly leftover Christmas items and not much more. I guess you just have to catch it at the right time.

I feel so bad for the people who have to work with her.
