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!
Found some things we liked at very good prices, thanks!
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.
Storehouse atmosphere with treasures to be dug out! Robert and his mother are delightful and helpful. My cousin and I are regulars!
They have some great stuff and reasonable pricing. Staff is friendly. Love coming here
Great place for antique finds! Reasonably priced!
The owner and the staff is friendly and helpful. They remember me as returning customer and they make appropriate suggestions based on my past purchases.Unique items that match my eclectic style.
I always find something that works for me here. Very helpful staff.
Found the perfect little bookshelf! So much here to see!
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.
This store is full of hidden treasures waiting to be found. Plus, the owner is helpful and hilarious. I love this place!
I love these antique stores they are so friendly and reasonable with there prices and I highly recommend anybody to go visit them. Especially for furniture youll be surprise to find all kinds of unique items for a great price. Come by and check it out.
This is not the kind of antiques I am use to buy far. More just furniture
Very nice place
Friendly, fair prices, very helpful
Best place, good people and all around great space.
This is the third or fourth time we have been here. They are always personable and have wonderful pieces
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.
My brother and I went to look around here for stuff for his apartment...they were having a moving sale and the prices were fantastic! The owner was super cool and helpful as were the other employees. I would definitely go back!
Incredible customer service, and amazing prices. Highly recommend.
Super cool place!!
Always cool treasures and great prices!!!
Great deals. Wonderful furniture
Love this place! Great prices on beautiful and one-of-a-kind pieces!
Robert and I go back 20 years. Hes enjoyed showing me many of his antique pieces. Even before I understood why he was driving me around to all of his properties. Thank you Robert wiggle on... ;)
Great stuff at stolen prices, so great antique stuff you cant find anywhere else, awesome stuff!!!!! One of a kind items. Dont buy new, go look at what they have, you wont be sorry. Look at all the shops next to each other there. Very friendly people.
Wonderful collection of old furniture! If you love to restore or decorate that kind of thing... This place has a great choice.
Amazing place their shop is filled with wonderful antiques just waiting to be discovered and find a place in your home. I have never been disappointed with my purchases. You must visit this lovely shop.
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.
I been going there for years, and have bought many many pieces, just an awesome place with great prices and deals of the day! I Love the Barrett family!
Always something new here. Vast array of styles of vintage and antique furniture and decor. Robert, Micklo and the rest of the family there are always very kind and helpful.
Wide variety of antiques and furniture. Was able to barter on a piece which made the experience worthwhile. Will go back in the near future.
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.
Very nice and helpful staff!!! Got a beautiful antique table and chairs at a great price. Tons to look at. If I ever need furniture this my first stop.
A lot of old furniture at a marked down price. Found a cute vintage desk for my son, but then opened one of the drawers and there was rat poop in it! Needless to say we did Not take it!
I have enjoyed purchasing items from here for over 20 years. They are always willing to negotiate and you can get some great bargains.
My favorite spot to find great deals and quality antiques for your money.
I have bought many nice pieces of furniture great experience really cool people, and great prices i highly recommend.

Fabulous! Everytime I have something in mind Im looking for, they have it and at reasonable prices! They go out of their way to help.

Alot of lighting and several nice pieces but noticed a couple of pieces that looked like painted prefab wal-mart furniture though. All in all it was ok.
The staff was super helpful and they had the perfect item. Will definately check back.
Strip of stores specializing in one of a kind furniture and knick knacks.
Robert was excellent in his onsite and willingness to help.
Its a fun place to go shopping. There are lots of furniture choices.

Very helpful and half off
Very kewl stuff
Best antique selection/prices in San Antonio IMO
Love this place!
Called on the phone to ask if they had something and she said no, bye. And hung up on me. The call was literally 7 seconds. Horrible customer service.
Treasures await
Very rude and felt rushed
Nice
