    This place has a magic that you can't quite put your finger on. It's a longstanding family-run…read moreantique mall (*used to focus more on furniture building/consignment & it pivoted when the next gen took over). Especially seeing the transformation over the last few years, it shows how much time and effort they put into creating the (huge) space and vibe to be both an antique mall and a 'third space' community hub. It's kid- & dog-friendly and they even keep some toys & coloring supplies on hand for bored kids. They also have a central 'living room' for anyone to kick their feet up. The gals running it are always friendly, too.

    I happened upon Ayala when I was searching for an Antique mall to visit between Seattle and…read morePortland. If you haven't been to Centralia, and you love looking in antique and vintage stores, go! I was going to stop for a half hour and finally made it back to the car 2 hours later!) Ayala was my place to visit, but I got all turned around and ended up walking all of that area on Tower, which I highly recommend. That said, Ayala what was my favorite of them all. The different stalls are well laid out and not overwhelmingly cluttered. The selection was top-notch, although not cheap. By not cheap I'm not complaining, it was fairly priced. There are gorgeous pieces and the sellers know their worth. The pieces were in good shape and both of the people working were so helpful!

    Holy Cow! What a bunch of stuff there is in this store!…read more As anyone that has frequented or passed through downtown Centralia, you know that there is no shortage of antique shops. There are some good ones and there are some poor ones. Timeless Treasures is on the above average side of the fence. To be perfectly honest, there is SOOO much stuff in this shop that it can be overwhelming to browse. For me, it was that and I got a wee bit discombobulated by the sheer amount of product that they have. Now ... that's not to say that it isn't worth going to or isn't worth searching around; it's just that there is a lot to look through. Unfortunately, it is not very well organized and is extremely cluttered. When I have more time to look around and see what I can see, I will come back and take my time going through the aisles and shelves and tables. One display, up front, that I was particularly interested in (and I have a picture included to show part of it) was the baseball card collection and binder! Growing up, I collected hundreds of baseball cards and loved looking through them and memorizing the stats of my favorite players. Their ginormous binder of cards brought back many fond memories for me!! :-) With owners/managers that are extremely friendly & kind and prices that are reasonable & fair, I do recommend Timeless Treasures to anyone that has time to look through their stock and an eye for that "treasure" that strikes your fancy! I'll be back ... you should too!

    Clutter, clutter, everywhere...but in a good way (mostly). Problem is, there's almost too much…read morestuff to make the browsing experience useful. If you've come for something specific, find the appropriate pile/section and dig in! If you just came to look, you're gonna be here a while! We were barely acknowledged as we wandered through the labyrinthine collection, which isn't necessarily a bad thing, as we didn't come in with anything in mind. Most objects were clearly labeled with a price, although I struggled to find tags on some of the books I was perusing in the upstairs area, which could be better organized, honestly; I found a few semi-intriguing titles scattered throughout, but they were not grouped together in any meaningful way, as far as I could tell, turning the whole process into a scavenger hunt. All that being said, this is probably the most exhaustive collection of antiques (sans furniture) in Centralia, so if you're up for excavating your way through layers of yesteryear's treasures, this is your best bet in the area!

    If you have ever been to Centralia (and particularly downtown), you very well know that there are a…read morenumber of antique store to visit. Some are worth it ... some are not. I have to say without question, that the Centralia Square Antique store is in the former category --- it is worth it! The owners/employees are friendly and easy to talk to. When it comes to antique stores, this place has to be one of the most organized, tidy, and well-kept shops I have ever been to! Each section of the monstrously large store is clean and easy to look at. There is virtually no clutter and the items for sale are in good quality. One of my favorite things about it, is that there is a huge amount of variety throughout the store. Everything from furniture, to toys, to jewelry, artwork, music/records, comics, décor ... you name and they probably got it. The only thing that's keeping me from giving it that fifth star are the prices. While the majority of items for sale are of good quality, the prices are a wee bit steep for an antique/used items store - not the bargain that you'd like to find. Still, all things considered, I would recommend stopping in and take a look. I have been there a number of times and will continue coming back, looking for that diamond in the rough and unique and timeless treasure!

    A beautiful and well maintained mall. Very kind owners and a very kind shop pug! I highly recommend…read morethis mall. Quite the assortment of unique antique and vintage items for everyone.
