There are so many good things to say about A-1 Antiques & Porcelain. I'll start with the owner -…read moreit's family owned and the husband and wife are genuinely nice people. They've been there forever and have a good, honest business. Next, their prices are great. I've been there as a seller of coins and jewelry more than anything else. I shop around and always find that they give me the best price. Their inventory of antiques, jewelry and porcelain is vast and beautiful. It's always fun to look around. The world is a better place because of this store and the people who run it.

Typically I don't do reviews but I really felt compelled to today. My sister, our mom and I decided…read moreto go on a day of antiquing and our first stop was here. I will say they do have an impressive amount of jewelry and their art selection was beautiful. However, our experiences were completely soured by the owner. We were by the corner near the register looking at their COSTUME jewelry. The cabinet did not happen to be locked and there was no sign on the door explicitly asking customers not to go in. A guy who I now realize was her husband kept poking his head in between our shoulders. At that point I thought it was just a guy with no concept of personal space. I now understand he was checking to see what we were doing as if we could steal with all the cameras around. He did not say anything to us immediately and I think at that point he told his wife to say something so she proceeds to very loudly scold us in front of her staff and the other customer in the store. She did apologize to my sister, however, there was no reason to behave the way she did especially when you depend on other people to make a living. I hope they can at least put signs to ensure there are no miscommunications in the future.

I found a dainty white bentwood chair for $10 which I'm thrilled about since everywhere else I've looked have sold these chairs for $60+. The chair has a nice antique-ish, chippy paint look to it which I think gives it character. There is such a great selection here and better yet, at affordable prices! I heart this store and will definitely be coming back for more.

While much of what you will find could be in an antique store, prices are more like a resale shop. Honestly, if you want to buy a great gift, this is such a great place to find interesting unique things that you will not find at Walmart or CVS. Oh, and the shop owner is delightful, friendly and helpful. If you visit once, you WILL be back!

In addition, when you tell a customer there are only two people allowed at the jewelry station while you actively have THREE people there, is just nonsense. Frankly I didn't waste much more of my time after that encounter, but a quick perusal of the kitchenware pricing indicates a vast overpricing on the first day. There are plenty of other companies that run fair, respectful sales in this city so I certainly wouldn't recommend darkening any of the doorsteps that have the misfortune to work with this group.

Needless to say, I'm never setting foot in there again. They obviously don't need my business.
