I consigned a pair of jade earrings to Michaan's for sale along with other items, and made it clear…read morethat for the earrings I wanted an auction reserve of $250; this reserve was duly recorded on the paperwork that was filled out for the items. Jill Fenichell, with whom I was working, noted that Marie Elise Coronado, the in-house jewelry appraiser, would have to agree to this reserve for it to go forward; but certainly did not note that there would be any repercussions beyond the consignment not going forward should Ms. Coronado not agree. Ms. Coronado later contacted me and said she couldn't grant my request, and the reserve would be $200. Okay, the contract states that reserves depend on agreement by the parties, so fine, I just asked when I could come by to pick up the earrings. At this point she took the arrogant stance that if I wanted the earrings back I would have to pay the fee for when consignors reverse the decision to consign items to Michaan's, and further claimed that only under restricted circumstances may consignors specify reserves for their items -- which is absolutely NOT what is specified by the language in the contract for reserves. I appealed to Ms. Fenichell for help, noting that good-faith dealing required that what had been established between Ms. Fenichell and myself must be honored, and received no help. In the end, I asserted control of the situation by invoking another clause of the contract that specifies that the day and place an item is sold must be by mutual agreement of the consignor and Michaan's, and stated that I would not consent to any particular circumstances of sale until this matter was resolved. At that point, Ms. Coronado agreed to my requested reserve. With a company that had the intention of dealing in good faith with its consignors, none of this nonsense could have occurred. Michaan's proceeded to violate its own contract by selling all of my remaining items at days and places of Michaan's own choosing, without obtaining, or even requesting, my agreement. In particular, my set of sterling silver was sold separately from its case, against my wishes.

Spent a rainy Sunday afternoon exploring this shop. It's a large antique store with many booths…read morethat offer a good variety of items. Lots of mid-century modern furniture and decor. They also have knick knacks, jewelry, pottery, toys, art, and more. The store was quite busy with customers while I was there. It was nice to see. The staff was friendly and helpful, quickly opening glass cases when I wanted to see something. Their inventory is so large I found it difficult to see everything in one visit. Their prices are reasonable. I ended up buying some California pottery, a framed floral print, and an MCM trinket dish. I'm looking forward to returning and taking another look around the store. There is a parking lot in the back of the building. Note: Some vendors have modern items mixed in with their antiques. A quick Google image search before you buy is a good idea if you care about the age of an item.

Tracy, the owner was very pleasant while I looked around her antique shop. I now live near the Monterey Peninsula, so I had to schedule a trip back to the Bay Area. I expected to be back up to pick up the dresser in mid June. However, I became ill- pneumonia- and was unable to make the trip. I let her know, but she never got back to me. I have left a total of 12 messages- no response. I even asked for my deposit back. No answer. My advice is to avoid this shop and Tracy the owner. She has failed to handle a simple transaction. Some people just shouldn't have a business that deals with the public.

Last review was in 2023, after 2 years of furnishing our home. 3 more years and we have added more…read morefor our home and many furnishings for our guest house built in 1903. My guess is that we have bought at least 80 separate things from the HCC since 2020. We have countless happy endings. Most recent was a maple dining table with 8 chairs for $349 + delivery. It replaced a smaller table and 6 chairs I bought from IKEA 40 years ago. HCC sold it in 2 days for $399, which paid me $200. So the new set cost me $149 + delivery! We are saddened by their decision to close the Campbell store. If they find a way to stay open - buy the building, find a rational landlord - we will happily return. If not, we wish the crew there the best.

STORE IS CLOSING JUNE 30…read more WOW! I had a scheduled pickup for 6/5 and thank goodness I called the store beforehand. During the call, I was informed that they are no longer accepting consignments because the store is closing. What is frustrating is that no one contacted me to let me know about this change. Had I gone ahead with the pickup and the item didn't sell by June 21, I would have been responsible for picking it up myself. Since the original pickup cost me $100, that's money I would have spent for nothing. This is important information that customers should be proactively notified about, especially when it could affect their decision to consign an item. A simple phone call, email, or text would have prevented a lot of confusion and inconvenience. Very disappointed with the lack of communication.
