I knew I couldn't just take home because the item was heavy as heck and if I took home I would put off and procrastinate. Wilson is centrally located on Washington ave north haven. Owner graciously met me downstairs, removed item from my car and took the time to inspect the item and point out the "gem" I procured as he compared my lounge to the "prefab won't-last-five-years chaise lounges of today. He asked questions on where the item will be stored (high traffic va low traffic areas of home) and when i answered he provided a plethora of fabrics to consider. Most importantly, he did NOT expect full payment that day! Whew!! What a relief. Starting a new business is expensive so not having to make full payment before work commenced made my day. Chair is absolutely a transformation. Comfortable and I can't wait to use as a prop. Love the oatmeal color I chose.

The years had not been kind to the chair, fabric needed to be replaced, padding worn and arm of the chair completely broken. Rich was great from start to finish. He was able to help us find the right fabrics and bring life back to the chair - looks good as new and still holds that antique quality they just don't make anymore! And a family heirloom should now see more generations to come. Thanks again Rich! Service and Skill are top notch. Rob

Jermaine was professional, and prompt enough to show up, in person, and give me a quote of $300,…read morethe day I called, and inquired about having my ceiling repaired in my living room. I had some plumbing work done the week before, and the holes in the ceiling had started to become an eyesore to me, and I really wanted it fixed! I called on a Tuesday, and he said he'd be able to come out a couple of days (Thursday), and get started on the repair. He arrived in a timely manner, and had everything done within a couple of hours, which I was very happy with. Hence my giving him a credit of 2 stars. However after inspecting the actual work done on the ceiling, I thought it looked very shoddy and unprofessional. There was a clear indentation of where the work was done, and it was not the seamless finish I had envisioned. I told him that I wanted the entire ceiling area to look as blended as possible when he started the job, and he had told me that he could do that for me, for $300 . That's not what I saw! He reassured me that after the paint dried, everything would somewhat blend into the ceiling, and look more even. I told him I wasn't happy with the work, and asked if he'd come back and help me complete it. He agreed that he also didn't think the job was completed to his liking, so he agreed to come out on Saturday ( he wanted the paint to be given a chance to dry) I texted him on Friday evening to remind him about Saturday, and verify a time when he would be at my house. No response.. I tried texting him on Saturday, and I texted him mid week on Wednesday..I never heard from this person again. Even after reassuring me that he would've come back. He was not courteous and professional to follow up in any manner. Complete ghosting on his part! I do not recommend his services if you are looking for a professional who'd show up and complete the job in a manner that makes the client happy, because it's not sloppy! At this point, I need to find someone else to fix his terrible, botched workmanship. The ceiling continues to be a major eyesore to me.

Brimfield Flea Markets

Negotiations saved me some money, so definitely haggle. Plus wear good shoes, because you'll be doing a lot of walking. Fortunately, it was a sunny and warm day. It's a really just nice to look around and see the variety of stuff. I can imagine a rainy day being a drag to go around. So the markets consist of a bunch of separate adjacent sites along Route 20. We went to Brimfield Auction Acres, which is the OG spot. Had to pay $5 to park there but being in the center of it all was worth it. Shelton across the street is the second oldest, so we went there as well. We might've wandered into one or two others at the end, but there are so many more vendor sites. The vendors and the selection of items vary, so some may think it's junk, others think it's treasure. Just do a "fly-by" around the tents and find one that interests you. Don't forget, there are a lot of more hidden things being sold, so it may take a bit of luck to find something. My purchases varied: from a Sinatra vinyl, to a painting of a 18th century frigate, to a cheese knife, to an old small Christmas tree decoration from Denmark, to packs of hockey cards from the 90's. I saw some other pretty interesting things, including a Continental Army cannon from the Revolutionary War, which was a little more than my wallet could handle. If you're hungry, there are a bunch of food trucks and some eating areas. Bathrooms are mostly porta-potties. Parking and admission vary from place-to-place. I think most places don't charge though.

This is an overwhelming flea market with hundreds of vendors and a wide variety of food choices…read more Its open three times per year and is always worth it.

Each vendor has a cute little setup, which is nice for browsing, but the pricing? Definitely not flea market pricing. As a reseller, I'm always on the hunt for deals, and there just wasn't any room here. Most items were priced at full retail--or even higher in some cases--which kind of defeats the purpose. Yes, some of the stuff is old, used, and vintage-adjacent, but nothing rare enough to justify the markup. If you're just looking for a weekend wander or want a quirky spot to kill time, it's fine. But if you're a picker, collector, or someone who knows the value of what you're looking at... this probably isn't your gold mine. Personally, I won't be rushing back.

If you're the type of person who enjoys "treasure hunting" this will be a fun way to spend a few…read morehours. The building is HUGE, and literally jam-packed with individually owned sections (I want to say "booths" but that's not completely accurate)... each containing completely different kinds of items. If you're a collector, there's a good chance you'll find something to add to your collection. Be sure to peek at all the photos I added to get an idea of what can be found. Many of the "booth" owners hangs out near their offerings. It felt like a little community in there and most of the people were friendly. We saw 3 dogs, Two seemed happy and friendly, and one was in a carrier with a warning sign, who was miserable and scared and growling (can only assume he was in that too small container because he bites, out of fear). That poor caged dog was the only bad (horrible really) thing. Hopefully someone there will see this review and find a way to give that small puppy a more humane way to spend his day. It really was sad and disturbing. Overall I'd say that The Flea Market at the Crossing is worth checking out at least once, especially if you're looking for an interesting way to spend an hour or two. Bring someone 50+ with you and watch them remember happy times spent with their grandparents. From the glassware and kitchen tools to the kitchen table in my photos, I found myself remembering he things my grandparents chose for their houses. We didn't buy anything this time, perhaps we'll return one day.
