We were in Charleston, IL for a friend's wedding and had hours to kill so we hit every antique shop…read morewithin 10 miles. We started out at Persimmon Lane and blew our entire budget there. It was a waste and a let down to even hit the other stores because all we could think of was everything we coveted at Persimmon Lane that we preferred to spend our money on so we came back a second time at the end of the day and spent more than we budgeted for and have no regrets. If our car was larger, we would have bought even more. Now we have a reason to come down to Charleston again. We haven't found an antique shop this great in three years, and the owners are the nicest, most helpful people you will find anywhere in retail. If you love industrial antiques, you will not leave Persimmon Lane without something cool. We bought a complete transit with box, instructions, and even receipt from 1948. The original owner paid $100.00, and we paid $130.00 - 64 years later. We thought it was a reproduction, it was in such perfect shape. We bought two, identical load cells from a large scale for $40.00 each, and lastly, we bought a Tandy, computerized chess game for $15.00. We didn't have room in the car for a giant, handmade, wood pulley for $95.00 that would have made an amazing coffee table. There were railroad spikes 4 for $10.00. If I had a better imagination, I would have bought them too. Persimmon Lane has an etsy page (very limited selection from their shop) and a facebook page (lots of updated photos of new stock) so I think I'll be shopping online from them. My friend in Charleston will be getting a gift certificate from Persimmon Lane for Christmas, as he told me he shops there once a week. How I envy his access!

The furniture looks amazing, and is heavy from use of solid wood throughout, but unfortunately the…read moredevil is in the details. Of the two pieces we ordered, both had issues. Drawers did not line up correctly after delivery and we had to fidget to get them aligned properly. Not that big of an issue and not a deal breaker. But, that's when we discovered some troubling quality assurance issues which were sadly the nail in the coffin so to speak which results in both pieces being sent back for a refund. It's completely unacceptable to pay such a high price for furniture and have every single screw miss the rear support spars (you can see the points of the screws missing every spar in one of the pics). There's some basic math/measuring that should simply not occur when buying this supposed quality level of furniture. Also not sure why each piece had odd markings/marker notes on them. And you can see a piece of the backerboard was crushed. Again, where's the QC? We had waited anxiously for them and was sadly disappointed. For those who are sensitive to smells/chemicals, I'd also suggest leaving them outside after delivery since they ship them off as soon as they're built. This results in quite a bit of off-gassing. Not pleasant to sleep in a room that smells of chemicals. I really wish none of these QC issues had occurred with our delivery/furniture because I really did like them but at the end of day, even I.kea furniture has better QC.

Several years ago, we found Countryside Amish Furniture when we were looking for a hutch. I found a…read moredesign on their website, and they worked with me to customize it for us. Then two years later we contacted them again, and ordered a customized curio cabinet to match our hutch. Then this year we contacted them again for another curio cabinet, this time in a different configuration. And once again they customized it so all three pieces of furniture match. This company is amazing to work with, are very responsive, and create furniture that far exceeds my expectations. I recommend to anyone that is looking for quality furniture to work with this company. You will not be disappointed.

I'm so glad we stumbled upon this cool store! They literally had everything that I love and I…read moredidn't know where to start. The plant selection was phenomenal and they were all well taken care of. I snagged a purple passion at a great price. They had some fun decor as well. I was able to find a cool pitbull sign that I had to take home with me. They even had some great t-shirts. I found one that said "I'm with the Hippies" and of course added it to my pile of findings. The woman that rung us out was friendly and gave some helpful tips on the plant. I highly recommend this store!

We've bought several pieces from Richard Schrock and Pineview woodworking over the years, including…read moreour bed and nightstands, dining room table and chairs, coffee table, end table and lawyer's bookcase. The quality and value have been exceptional, so much so that we continue to place orders with Mr. Schrock, even though we've relocated to northern California. This is furniture that will be handed down from generation to generation; it's rock solid construction and the quality of finish is better than you'd ever find in an Ethan Allen or similar shop. Plus, it's all American-made; no worries about toxic chemicals or shoddy workmanship. Highly recommended.

I love Vintage Karma. This shop has the best vibe/feel/ambience and greatest group of people. I…read morelove tattoos, but I've definitely walked into some shops that, for whatever reason, don't feel comfortable. It might just be the day, or me, or who knows what that causes that feeling, but you want to be comfortable when you get a tattoo (beyond the thousands of needle jabs). Vintage Karma has a great collection of characters with a lot of talent, humor, and Intellect. They're open to chatting or letting you read/zone out/whatever. The shop is accepting of all types of people and accommodating for your needs, whether they involve breaks, snacks, or situating you for the best experience. I have several chronic pain issues, so working around those can be challenging. Note: be prepared---I'm not an incredibly social person, but work from Vintage Karma gets noticed even in places with a high percentage of tattooed people. For example. I was just in New Orleans, and I had people going quite a bit out of their ways to look at and ask about a phoenix/peacock (pea-nix) on my arm from Ainslie and my multitude of works from Caleb.
