I pass this place all the time. We decided to stop in today on impulse. I was so impressed with the…read morevast quantity of stuff they have here! There are no clothes at this second hand store but everything else is abundant. If you're into antiques, I would definitely come here. They have everything from inexpensive jewelry to high end antiques. The aisles are overflowing with cool stuff! Every single nook and cranny is filled with neat knick knacks! The owners are not only knowledgable about their antiques for sale but also very knowledgable about Urbana history. It was great chatting with them! The only criticism is that their items are a little pricey in my opinion but it's all in great condition so you don't have to do any of the digging you do at other second hand shops.

If I could leave 0 stars I would. I'm not one to do this, but knowing the people who own this shop…read moreit astonished me that they are like this. I would've never known. I went to highschool with the owner and worked with her for a bit and I thought she was really nice until I realized what she has done to bring down the lqbtq+ community. As someone who is apart of the community I can tell it it hurts to find these things out. Honestly, I grew up in this town and it breaks my heart to see businesses hate on groups of Individuals that did absolutely nothing to them, if you associate or are an alliance with the lqbtq+ community please DONT do business with them. They have made fun of, mocked and degraded the community, calling it the "alphabet community" completely disregarding any kind of respect. As a business owner you should never push your religion upon anyone and respect anyone who comes through your doors. It shows a lack of respect for your clientele. In Christian religion, it seems so common place now to mock and degrade people apart of this community and to judge them. That seems far from God to me, as he wanted his children to love and accept everyone. From what everyone's understanding is, In Christian religion you are not the judge jury or executioner. Only "God" is. Y'all have lost all touch of what your religion truly stands for. More and more I see people apart of this religion taking these lack of morals and ethics and implying them on others who may not fit in their group. It's sad to see people who stand under God hurt and judge others. It's sad to see a lack of understanding within their own religion. If anyone is getting judged by God per YOUR Bible it will be the people who claim to stand under God but really stand under hate and judgmental actions. God didn't put you on this earth to hate and judge others. He didn't put you here to spread his word that has been misconstrued for hundreds of years. From my understanding I was made to love and accept everyone and to support others and to stand up for what's right. As business owners you should be absolutely ashamed of how you've been treating others. We all are human, we are not robots. If you want to believe a Bible re written over and over do your thing but at the very least be kind and try to open your mind a little. We are all human, not perfect. Please do better in the future. P.s. if your children or family ever come to you and know they are apart of the community I hope you are kind to them and understanding and supportive because everyone seems to think people chose to be Gay. Please do better.

A man outside said, 'sorry we are closed'.. Looking bewildered and mentioning the time (again 440p) we told him that we live an hour and a half away and that it was our wedding anniversary, and his response 'ohhhhh no'.. No explanation as to why he closed a full 20+ minutes early (he was already outside and getting into his truck) nor an offer to open up for the final 20 minutes; then he got in his truck and left. Will be reporting this to the Illinois Antique Association, as that's the shop guide we followed for the day. To keep this shop in your pamphlet is an immense disservice to those using it!
