They’re always getting new stuff and willing to negotiate on literally everything. They honestly have the best prices out of all the shops on Hildebrand. There’s a lot of stuff you’ll pass over really quickly but if you do take the time to poke around you’ll find some gems. I got a nice clean accent rug for $17 and a painting/print of Grand Teton NP for $11. I looked the painting up online and it was listed for $645. It wasn’t nearly in good enough shape to be worth that much but with a reframe and some touch ups I know I got a great deal.

Last time visiting this place. The place is crowded and furniture is piled up on top of each other. I was looking at an end table that I liked so I moved a chair that was on top of it to take a better look. The lady that was there told me in a very rude way “be sure that you put that back”. I’m an adult not a child and I don’t appreciate being treated like one. Maybe if you keep the place better organized people wouldn’t have to moved things around.

Heres the thing -- if you are looking for *already-perfect-refurbished/refinished* looking stuff -- this is NOT the place for you. Go elsewhere! IF you love poking around in an NON A/C, musty, dusty warehouse, searching for gems (old, beautiful, needing-TLC, pieces-with-a-history, carrying-the-ghosts-of-past-lives) --- this is for YOU!! You will LOVE, LOVE, LOVE THIS PLACE. Robert and his (amazingly young) Mom, Mencha, are the most professional, helpful, and kind people. I have found them very customer-oriented and are willing to negotiate on any piece! Frankly, the placed is JAMMED tight (so they need to keep stuff moving) and prices are already fantastic. With the extra discount they always offer, it makes me feel that I walk away from a win-win negotiation! They free up space and I go home happy with a beautiful old piece who just needs some elbow grease and love to be able to shine again, just for me! I will ALWAYS go here FIRST before I hit the higher-priced places (with double to triple the price tag). It all depends on you or your current state of mind: If you are willing to invest a bit of love and polish -- you can find absolute gems here. I have a house full to prove it!

I am/was a frequent flyer here and always recommended this place to family/friends and our Airbnb guests. This place usually has great finds and deals. However, with my recent experience… I can’t say it will be the same.Never have I left a place feeling like scum of the earth. We first arrived and were greeted by two women who seemed very sweet, asked if we needed anything, and offered us water. As we were browsing, a painting caught my eye and the older woman states “come up with a price and I’ll see what I can do.” After, a few minutes or so, I come up to the counter and offer a price that is 32% off asking… assuming to negotiate up.She asked me what the price of object was and then immediately became offended. Instead of stating, “I can’t do that price, but I can do xyz…” she started to scold and lecture me on how/why she won’t come down 50% off asking even though I never gave her such a price. I then politely proceeded to ask what is the best she can do. She comes down 15% off… which was fine because I really loved the painting. As I tried to tell her I am going to go look at it again, thinking I would go ahead and take the painting at that price…she wouldn’t stop talking/continuing to scold me about my original offer.I finally just left and decided I’d rather not do business with someone who has that kind of attitude towards a paying costumer, especially after the fact she told me to name my price but can’t even do the math in the first place.Won’t be back for a while… that’s for sure.

I didnt find but 1 treasure, an ancient Chest of Drawers in a 180 degree design, a quite tall chest of drawers - an astounding set of 2. Each costing about $700. Other than that, not much to see. Much odds & ends.

Good place to go for used furniture that you are willing to clean up and refurbish. Everything is as is and most likely needs some TLC to make it your own. Hit it miss if you will find something you are looking for, but worth a visit to see what they have in. They had everything 50 percent off when we went in and I thought the pricing was pretty good.

Review №32

Great selection. Lots of vintage, unique and diverse pieces. Very friendly staff/owner. Always willing to negotiate on prices (within reason). Willing to hold pieces for a bit if you cant take it home at the time of purchase. Not always easy to move around in there, though, because there are so many pieces available. Youll probably be in there for a while.

Pricing very reasonable on their HUGE inventory. Pieces tend more toward midrange contemporary and tend to have visible wear & tear. Staff go above and beyond to assist and will bargain within reason.
