| - I really wanted to love this place. I stopped in here on my lunch break to browse. I soon realized I wouldn't be getting much farther than the door, as it was crammed with stuff. The salesman was personable enough, but for all his claims of having many "rare" pieces, they sure weren't displayed as such. Two shell chairs tossed behind a wall, and furniture stacked upon more furniture. I saw several peeling and rotted wood leaded glass windows. Price? $450. Old light fixtures probably obtained from demo'd houses or a Restore were going for $350 +. A Heywood bedside stand? $475. A MCM lamp? $250. A French vanity? $1,000. Come on, dude. I've been going to antique shops since I was a kid, and these prices are simply ludicrous. Eastside antique stores are notoriously higher than the westside, and this place was no exception. While this shop undoubtedly has many treasures, it was a huge disappointment. The hoarder-like, haphazard presentation of your goods, coupled with ridiculous price points makes this place just yet another overpriced warehouse for a couple of guys unwilling to part with anything. I'll leave this place for the wealthy folks brave enough (or dumb enough)to sift through the items and overpay.
