I love this place, you need to visit! Its a perfect place for antiques, and one of a kind finds. And the tool, oh my goodness its loads of them. And the gun had been there for a long time. But its a good conversation piece. #wayofcassandra

This is a nice thrift store with some really cool antiques. The prices are good. The place is packed full of stuff but it’s pretty well organized and clean so it’s easy to look through it all.

There is much to see. Large collection of china sets, bakeware, glassware, and dishes. Also there s furniture- some classic and some modern styles of dressers, end tables, coffee tables, chairs, sofas, etc. Many different styles of art hang all around in almost every section. A large assortment of lamps! The store has a small section of clothing and electronics. The prices are low to fair. There are an assortment of books and dvds. 4 stars because some aisles are narrow making it difficult to spend time looking because other customers would like to pass.

I used to love this store. Now everything is sold as sets for way too much money,(dishes and glasses)No little treasures to find. Everything is way over priced.I wont be returning.

Interesting thrift store. Large assortment of items and furniture. No clothes are sold here so its a treasure hunters dream. Very narrow aisles in some areas so keep that in mind. Has an antique store feel but thrift store prices. Highly recommended at least once.

This place used to be great. Prices went way up, service went down. Some of the items are higher than retail - I saw beat-up metal shelving today for $18 that I recently bought on Amazon new for $15. Really a bummer.

Update 05/16/2018I went back to the store and I asked to speak to the Manager, He was very nice and gave me a refund. He said he didnt know anything about my purchase and was not aware of the situation with my lost items. He seemed very sincere and welling to help. Thank you for taking care of the issue. I really appreciate it.

Its so much more than a thrift store. I adore this place. Always have new stuff and things come from the owner. Theres always something new. Very nice staff. Cheap prices for awesome quality things, you could look at the store for hours and still not see everything.

I fell in love in this place I am a fan of thrifting if that is even a thing. They are so organized and have anything and everything you may need i was surprised to even see cosmetics, perfumes&lotions. In every isle I found something to buy from entering i found different type of clocks,frames and when i went into the first isle they had plates,pots,pans,decorations just the whole store was lovely i wanted to shop so much but I went only for cabin decorations like bears,moose,deer,fish etc.. I found my happy place I so recommend it. If you are looking for furniture its a must visit they have tons and mirrors too!!!

Review №20

I used to shop here all the time but stopped. Their isles are overly filled because they refuse to haggle even on the more pricey items which of course is the nature of this business. To haggle would mean the owner would have to hire more then the cheep Mexican labor he employees now which are not customer friendly.

Love this store! Been going for years! On regular basis. Can always find something. Best sales person to work with is Bill he is ALWAYS friendly and helpful. The owner and the big tall skinny dude are most unfriendly they will walk right past you and not even day hello. Check out girls are wonderful.

Upon entry on 1/26/20. I as an adult was scolded by the owner for bringing in children. My children were at the side or within eyesight of all adults in the party. The children were not doing anything but walking. My children are well behaved and never touch things in stores. The owner/worker (silver haired 60+) then proceeded to follow us through out the store. Owner/worker is hostile. I do not recommend for they are intolerant to all. Very unpleasant experience.

Review №31

This has always been a good, staple thrift store. They always have a good, large selection of items - and while many things are fairly priced, if the item isnt broken its usually a little pricey for second-hand goods

Review №35

This is by far one of the best antique and collectible storesIve ever been to. The name is extremely misleading because this is not your typical thrift store. Im an antique dealer that travels the US buying and selling antiques, and this is one of the best places to buy. Thrift an dollar has so many items that have a massive resale value. I really suggest stopping by.

Review №36

Ive been going here on a regular basis for over five years. I love this place and the employees. From a re-seller/personal purchase standpoint you should absolutely travel from near and far to visit this place. They have a little bit of everything. Some of the aisles are a bit narrow so heres what I do! I grab a plastic bin from the back area like by the tools and carry that around with me. Sometimes setting it at the end of an aisle and filling as I go...if one isnt available they dont mind if I set things up front. If I have my children with me I always bring a carrier. Then I can strap my youngest to my back. I dont mind the cramped space. They fit a whole lot of amazing things in this shop! Its like going to an estate sale without you know...going to an estate sale.

Hostile and creepy. Walked in with five adults and five well behaved kids. We were confronted and asked about our children and then store personnel followed us throughout the store.

Im a regular and todays visit did not disappoint. If you are looking to furnish a home on a budget, this is the place. Shop here if you are mindful of our disposable society. You can keep a little perfectly usable stuff out of our landfills.

I enjoy to go and buy some. I always make deal to lower the price. Sometime, I made deal to cut price by 50%. I know it is lot of junks but some are really good. The clothes and towels are not clean but it is pretty cheap. All you have to do is bring them home and wash the clothes of towel. Workers are good.

I definitely recommend this place for its service and its inventory. This store has wonderful hidden treasures if you take the time to browse through the hundreds of items -we got our 1920s dining room set, perfect condition for quite the steal. The salesperson Scott was not only very friendly and helpful but quite knowledgeable about the items we were purchasing. .

This place has a lot of cool stuff but unfortunately I have to give them a 1-star because I bought a keyboard there ($23), brought it home and found that it didnt work. Emailed them to see if I could get a refund, no answer. Lesson learned.

Review №61

I have never seen a place so well stocked and organized. It is a bit overwhelming because there is so much to see. They know the value of their items are they priced accordingly but fairly reasonable. Take a shopping cart with you because its a long walk back to the front to get one. The store is that big. Dont forget to look up. They utilize every bit of wall space.

A very big store with many things to pick from many old vintage items like, glass, lamps, tools, furniture, dishes many kitchenware items, but not alot of electronics and no cloches, I think. But they did take a offer I made more than once and that is a good thing.

If you are looking for the IKEA of thrift stores, youve found it. With pretty much any random piece of furniture set up to get you lost and interested, a 30 minute thrift run can turn into an hour and a half adventure.Plus, constant supply of vintage bicycles.

I go there very often for ironstone and I got nice pieces for really cheap. Furniture is kinda high priced but I never asked for a deal. There is a lot of nick - nack things I get to do my crafts. Clothes - not too many and are not something you want to wear. Overall, for my needs I more than like the store.
