The back clothing section is overpriced and not very well curated... quality is not cohesive throughout, with some very cheap feeling items being priced high just like more expensive feeling items. I've stopped in relatively often over the years as I am in the area but have never once found anything to purchase.

The store has so many cool and interesting little things, like beaded keychains, hair accessories, candles, jewelry, greeting cards and decor. Some of it is vintage and some is locally hand made. The back of the store is the thrift clothing section. Everything looks to be in excellent shape. There's also records, shoes and purses. I saw a Dior coat, and some items by Burberry and by Alexander McQueen. They are selective about their selection of items they accept. There isn't any of that awful stuffy smell. It feels and looks like everything is brand new. It's easy to look and touch things without the fear of everything falling. This store isn't stuffed at all. I can't wait to return and see what else they have.

I was spending a few days staying with some friends in Middletown last week and had some time to…read morekill on Saturday. What's the best thing to do when that happens? Obviously it's to check out some antique centers and the first one we checked out was Forest City Merchants. This antique centre is located inside of what looks like an old factory building and has a pretty decent amount of space. The floor itself is separated by some small walls and there's a few separate rooms throughout the building. I spent maybe twenty minutes or so wandering around without finding anything, but hey, you could go to the same antique center once a week for a year and hit the absolute biggest jackpot one week and then strike out 49 weeks in a row, so that's just what happened on this day. I did see some cool action figures and such, and luckily it didn't appear that any of the booths here had Temu garbage. Overall, Forest City Merchants was a solid antique center to walk through and certainly a place to check out if you are in the area. I'll definitely be back in the future since I'll be staying in Middletown again.

I can only imagine the store will be even more amazing in its new home. The merchandise is fun - every shelf you find and see something new and tempting to buy. The prices are fair - it's like Brimfield without bugs! Just be careful if you carry a purse, some aisles were a little narrow. The proprietors are friendly and interesting to talk to, particularly about the provenance of some of the items.

If you love unique, one of a kind pieces that are cool, yet timeless.. you must pay them a visit. The store is so well curated. You feel more like you're rummaging through your cool friend's closet than a retail store. I left with 4 pieces of clothing and some glassware. Each one is a gem and will all be closet staples. They're well priced for the quality and each time I've felt welcomed by the staff. Shout out to Lily who helped me today! xx
