Huge antique store with so much to look at. I’m in awe with how big this place is as it does not show that from the outside. So many beautiful pieces of furniture.

Found some live edge cedar boards, antique tags & other nice stuff. Well worth the trip as an expeditor. We enjoyed our 3 hour walk around.

I love this place. It’s been here for several years and I just found it. It’s on Valleydale and Caldwell Mill Rd by the Publix. The place is huge and there are so many vendors. The prices are great and they will take offers. They have collectibles, furniture, antiques, pictures, magazines, etc. Everything for everyone. Staff is very friendly and helpful. I can’t wait to go back!

I purchased a $120 cast iron skillet got home to find it had a crack in it they would not even exchange it or give me a credit. The booth was Huey1I just cannot believe that a reputable company would have a vendor that would take advantage of people especially during the pandemic.when peopleare truly in need. Dont sell faulty merchandise And then blame the consumer Bad business!!!

My first visit and I absolutely loved this place. I didn’t realise how big it was until I got inside and started walking around. After about 4 or 5 isles I bumped into this little table at the front of the store... cake, brownies, little snacks and pop😮. Of course I purchased some because I needed the energy to finish walking around. Everyone was so very nice. There’s something for everyone, so many beautiful things. I purchased toys for the kids, lots of stuff for baking, vintage patterns, and teacups which was my main reason for going.

I called to put an item on hold, and they charged me $184 for a different item than I wanted! They didnt have the item I wanted, and would not refund my purchase! I still dont know what they are charging me for.Update: They already have my money, and a no refund policy, so from their perspective their part is done. After arguing about it all week they are giving me no options and do not care. In fact they have threatened penalties if I dont pick it up soon.Update 2: I finally went in to see it and I see why they were so willing to unload it on me. 😂 What a joke.

A fun place to visit. Antiques, glassware, furniture, handmade toiletries, signs. Its huge and interesting to shop if not buy. Prices are reasonable, stock is constantly changing and theres probably something for everyone. Individual vendors rent booths that may or may not have a theme. Some new items, most not. Expect to spend an hour wandering the aisles and still miss half of whats on offer.

This place was much bigger than I expected. While not everything in here was antique, they had a good mixture of old and new items. The prices were not outrageous either. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. I will definitely go back!

I love to wander this place! Everyone here is extremely accommodating and theres even an area provided to sit and rest and refuel. Ive found some awesome pieces, mostly smalls, though the vendors sell all kinds of furniture, too. Everything is clean and its very well organized!

Review №36

One of the nicer consignment/flea malls to visit. Lots of booths and mostly all filled. A lot of over priced items though. You know - throwing chalk paint on a dresser and suddenly its worth $400 dollars. Not the fault of the store, but if you are looking for a steal, you might not find it here.

Review №41

The one star is for 1 individual who has no business being behind the counter representing this store. The store itself deserves more stars, its overall nicely laid out with plenty to look at. I came with a trailer prepared to buy several furniture pieces along with other items. I will note that there were two other gentlemen there that represented the store very well and were pleasant to deal with. After already committing to purchase 4 pieces of furniture, and not even a 1/4 of the way through the store, I had enough of this guys poor attitude towards me, he could care less if this store or its vendors made any sales. This business would do well by removing this individual from dealing with customers. Its too nice of a store which obviously the owner and vendors take pride in, today they lost a lot of money because of this 1 persons extremely rude behavior. When I told the other 2 gentlemen I would instead not be buying and why, I had a feeling without them saying so that I wasnt the first person this has happened to.

Review №46

I love flea malls and never realized this was one! Its bigger than it looks from the outside and doesnt have a bunch of empty stalls, probably because its not in a cheap out of the way warehouse. Its a regular flea mall, so dont avoid it because you think its antiques. Another thing I like is that it isnt full of cheap new stuff, so if youre looking for stalls of velvet paintings and socks, this isnt the place.

If you are looking for the perfect item for your home or the perfect gift, this is the place to go. It is the nicest consignment/antique shop my Wife and I have been to and we have been all over Alabama. Some things are priced a little to high.

They have some WONDERFUL stuff there. Its a perfectly sized store. Nothing worse than a cramped antique store and this is anything but. Tons of vendors all with great selections. They also have snacks for sale! which is a great thing to have available on an antiquing outing. 10/10 I have had nothing but great experiences.

Review №54

We were there for their 4th beariversary. So many wonderful vendors!! So much stuff ... great stuff! Many vendors were offering discounts and great sale prices. When checking out, we did not receive these discounts ... very disappointing. We told the older gentleman that there were discounts on some of the items we bought. He said he knew and still charge full price?!? Once again, disappointing.

The dealers buy from thrift stores and garage sales and mark it up for sale here. Why not just shop at the thrift store? Same selection of beautiful antiques for a fraction of the price.
