| - wow, I've got to say that I'm surprised I'm the first person writing a review of this place. I've lived in the West most of my life, so there's not much of this "antiquing" out there because nothing is old enough! So, when I needed to start buying things to fill up my new apartment I went out looking for a few unique pieces...and promptly wound up in Medina, at one of the largest antique stores in the surrounding area.
Now, I've got to say that I really love this place because all of the vendors are vetted by the company. They're all selling authentic items and have been doing so for many years. You can find pretty much everything here, from little tchotchkes to large furniture. I managed to buy a nice bench for my dining room, some side tables a large French-style dresser and a few other things to give my place character. There also a nice wooden prop from an old place I've got my eye on to hang above my couch, don't buy it! ;o)
A collectors dream, the stuff in here turns over fairly fast, the sellers are always bringing in new items and I need to get down there again as there are still a few things I'm looking for to round out my place. And yes, they have a cute little cafeteria in there as well, for you "all-day" shoppers....it will take you a while to go through it all the first time. If you're ever in the area make sure to stop on by, I'm sure you'll find something to take home!
An added bonus, if you buy some furniture that you can't move right away, they will store it for you free for 30 days. There is also a family business that will move the furniture for you from the mall to anywhere in the area, for a great price, just ask at the counter for their card if you need someone else to bring the furniture to you.....
