HORRIBLY RUDE staff, the man at the front is beyond rude and tooooootally unhelpful and mean DO NOT SHOP HERE. No wonder they have bad reviews. In 2024? I have never been treated so badly in New York.
Most unpleasant, unhelpful staff in their Brooklyn store. Called in for assistance with an online item… The manager literally told the jr member of the staff to stop talking, and to hang up on me (I could hear him in the background). See all the other comments about this person’s awful attitude, horrendous service & turdly approach to dealing with inquiries. And then take your money elsewhere.
Their prices and beat down inventory, oh - not to mention the abuse you are likely to take - simply are not worth it.

What a treasure trove! This place is huge - 5 floors of treasure. More mid century furniture than I've ever seen (and we lived in a production town!) And the selection of stained glass panels in amazing. Really beautiful items, everywhere you look.
Bring your big wallet. The items aren't cheap 2nd hand, these are antiques and priced as such

The place is STUFFED w/ 2 floors of great finds! We made an AMAZING find w/ a bronze & stain glass 5 foot giraffe! Also seen a pair of leather/chrome chairs & PLENTY OF OTHER UNIIQUE finds! DEFIANTLY One of the best finds in ALL NYC.
Well, they do have a large selection, the prices are inflated. After work, I drove a distance to get here before closing. The employee (lanky guy with glasses) told me he needed to close up in 10-15 minutes (technically the store should’ve been open another 30). I said ok and kept browsing, and he turns back around and aggressively said, “That means I need to turn the lights off now.” I needed to buy two large pieces they had there, but they lost me as a customer. Wish I could return the multiple other pieces I’ve bought here. You could’ve knocked me over with a feather I was so floored. Then he rolled his eyes when I asked how to exit! Wild.
Great antique store packed to the brim w furniture, lighting, and art. They take their stuff seriously. 4 floors of things, often mid century or other ..
I had been meaning to come here for a while and finally made the trip today. These guys have incredible taste. Prices are a little steep but you can tell that the pieces they buy are quality. I’ll be back for my dream credenza once my next paycheck hits…
