I could live here. Seriously, I get lost in here. Pretty sure I spent 2 hours or more in it in first visit. Owner, and staff, are helpful and very friendly. Lots of cool history here! Great prices too!

This is a fun antique store and the owner and his staff are great to chat with. I believe that their prices are somewhat negotiable and they do offer layaway if you ask. I appreciate that service. I have purchased vintage costume jewelry, my beautiful Foo Dogs, and antique walnut candlesticks. I recently went back to find a jewelry display cabinet and there it was! in the front with my name all over it.

If you r looking to buy then this place has 3 floors of antiques. If you r looking to sell then I recommend that you go in with low expectations. The buyer was very rude! He definitely acted like I was a thorn in his side as well as low balled me! Sorry to bother you grumpy old guy with my 1900’s lamp! As for your offer you would like me to consider, I just might consider it when I’m taking my morning poo.

Interesting place. Just bought a 19 century coal holding mmm.mmm.square wooden thingy with a brass handle. Totally awesome, nicely refinished and unique. Now I have to decide what should be an alternative to coal. Oh! I can store my dog toys in there! Had a chat with the owner and he travels quite often to Europe to pick up pieces. I feel like the selection faded away lately. Does that mean that a new trip is coming up? I am excited!

Hands down the best antique store in DT Renton. I bought and refinished my sons bed from them, and it looks amazing! Make sure you have plenty of time to treasure hunt all three floors!

This place was an awesome way to spend a hour with my bf just«window shopping» We didn’t buy anything, but had a great time browsing the store. We are new to antique collecting and a couple stores we’ve been to have snobby employees who follow you around asking to many questions, but not here they greeted us told us about their sale and left us to just look. And I had no idea there was a basement that’s awesome. Now I get to back and look some more. What a great place! One small issue for us the roof upstairs leaks, and there were buckets everywhere to catch water. Also this made it smell like mildew, which isn’t good for anything new or old. They were having it repaired but for look it wasn’t pretty.

This is a good antique store, but the prices are pretty expensive. I saw some $ 10 life magazines here, and not much variety. Bought one magazine(not Life) and left. Some stuff is old, some stuff is newer(1993, 1999, etc.)

I came here when I was down in the area early before a party. This place is BIG! It has a basement and an upstairs(as well as the main floor), and it’s all PACKED! The basement was a little creepy to go through on my own(I’m kind of a wuss). But luckily the husband was there. There was just so much stuff though, that it’s really hard to focus on looking at any one thing. I’d suggest if you have something in mind that you’re looking for, to ask the proprietors if they have something in that vein. Otherwise, you could spend forever looking for it and totes miss it! They had a lot of amazing antique furniture. Very very neat if you’re looking for that unique special piece for your luxe diggs.

This is a great place to find real antiques. I have bought several large pieces from them at decent prices. The are not a bargain or thrift shop however they do have the bargain basement. Prices can be negotiated sometimes however it’s best not to insult the owner by offering a low-ball offer on something. I usually just ask for the best price and if it sounds good I say great and if not I thanks anyway. A good bargaining tool is also to see how many dots are on an item as the more dots that are there the longer the item has been in the store.

For a genuine antique store as apossed to a «junk» store, you can’t beat this place for the real thing! Amazing antiques on all 3 levels of this place, its huge! The prices can be a little on the«ouchie» side, but if your after that hard to find piece you may be in luck here! They ship things in from all over the place and the variety is amazing. Some of the things I have seen here are unique and one of a kind. They also specialize in restoration services. So if you find that piece you love and its got some problems they can even fix it… what a complete package! Love this place and frequent it often, they have new stuff all the time! And keep an eye out for their specials. They are the items with the colored dots on them, usually 10%-40%off. The staff are friendly and always fun to talk to, not stuffy like other antique stores I’ve been too…5 Stars!

ok, so most of the items here are outrageously expensive, but the majority of them are authentic antiques. i found the perfect desk in the basement(the«Bargain Basement») for $ 195 — marked down from $ 295 because it had some scratches on it. it’s a replica queen anne style writing desk in a beautiful mahogany wood. they shined it up nicely for me and delivered it for $ 18. what a deal! i’m very happy and will definitely be going back when i need something.
