Loved this place! Stopped by yesterday because I was meeting up with a friend and we went through…read morethe main store and the Annex. For those who haven't been in a while, they've been renovating. The main building is now just the main floor and basement (basement is bright and cheery, not quite finished yet, though). The second building is across the way and the entrance is located across from the All-American Valley General Store. The prices vary from insanely good deals to pretty darn expensive. And some of those expensive pieces need some reno loving. Mostly reupholstering for couches/chairs and refinishing hard-wood tables. The annex holds the clothing, books, house nick-nack pieces and personal accessories. Display doors can be challenging to move but don't need the help of a sales assistant. There are some really great prices for the random pieces that find their way into this store. I'm looking forward to coming back to this store. Friendly staff, interesting pieces and beautiful displays should make the trip out of town worth it!

The most interesting shopping experience around. I love the way they set up the rooms into…read moredisplays: either similar things, or set up to look like mini-rooms within the rooms. Nice eye for decorating and using space wisely, SAC staff! I've bought a lot of things from here, often finding hard-to-find gift items. They almost always have something along the lines that I'm searching for, and are also surprisingly reasonably priced. I could seriously spend the whole day perusing around this store, if time permitted. It's like stepping back in time, only upon leaving the store do you remember what calendar year it is. Great place to shop for antique or vintage ANYTHING!

But what stood out most to me was the gorgeous shabby chic furniture. The owners hand paint each piece making them unique pieces of art. I will be back regularly.

As I neared the windows, I saw that there was actually a business in the building. Having had an…read moreantique business myself in NY, I was looking forward to visiting. That ended as soon as I opened the door. My friend and I were not greeted by the rude gentleman who sat behind the desk. He didn't even respond when I complimented him on a piece. There were two items I wanted to purchase but decided I'd rather deal with people who know how to treat their customers. A friendly demeanor, a knod or smile acknowledging someone has entered your store, can actually produce a sale. Merchants in town agreed that many complain about him. I still love Essex and it's many shops.

I was glad to say hi to him again but the last time I was at his store was 5yrs ago and time goes by fast. I wasnt sure what he had in this store but when i walked in I knew had some real nice pieces and answered my questions on what I wanted to know more about. David has a nice collection of Glassware from different styles and ages. Im a rare book collector having been in that field from my work for about 30yrs. Ive now been buying nice and affordable antique furniture and from what David has its reasonable. Been to few other Antique stores but all I get is they came from another persons Estate and didnt tell me much other than that. I highly suggest just even taking time to stop in and look take your time, Yes Its a quiet place and you will get some info from what it is and about it. Best Always David Brian
