We just moved to the area and I was looking for a wood stove and was directed to Berts. No wood stove yet, but I found this amazing antique lamp. It worked and was reasonably priced. This is one of those places where there are so many hidden gems. Every corner has a surprise or some fascinating item. They had a collection of antique Jim Beam bottles in the store on the day I bought my lamp as well as some solid wood bedroom furniture. I have added on their Facebook so I can keep and eye out for my wood stove and any other goodies I can find. read more

Bert's is a great place to stop if you're looking for older to vintage furniture in need of a good cleaning and restoration. For the most part, they have a lot of school furniture, kids' desks, bookshelves, etc. LOTS of old side chairs. I felt like most everything I saw was priced very reasonably. There is a corner of the store labeled "Pat's Project Pile" where you could find chairs and a few other furniture items for $5. If your thing is refurbishing old pieces, then this is your place! The couple working there was nice and friendly, offered to help us but didn't hover, and invited us back another time. A would-be 4 star review was reduced to 3 due to feeling like I may have narrowly escaped my own death in the upstairs of this old building. Many of the floor boards are cracked, creaking, and shaky. Holes in the floor were covered with a thin sheet of plywood or cardboard in some cases. And to make it all the more challenging... there were no lights! I had to use the flashlight app on my phone to get around. I'm not a prude by any means, and I don't mind getting dirty in the dustiest of flea markets and the like, but this was just unsafe. read more

Bert's - Deadly attic full of vintage chairs worth reconditioning. - Thrift Stores Near Me - Sanford, North Carolina

Love this place. And the opened a store next door. Quality for a great price. Some of the Sanford shops are way over priced and their products are there forever. The prices here are right. I bought a quality vanity for $175. Real wood!! Not particle board read more

Maybe I caught this store on a bad day, but it just seemed that no one was willing to help me. I expected a friendlier atmosphere based on what I'd heard from others. Customer service was really non existent, in my opinion. read more

This is a wonderful place to find unusual items that you need for your home. The owners are so helpful and very kind to customers. Good Folks, I just moved to town and by doing business with them, found out that the South really is very friendly. Go see them and have fun looking! Very Honest business people.

Super friendly people running it are very helpful. Lots of old, unique furniture. No lack of shelves etc. And if you are into refinishing etc, they have lots of projects. If you prefer that "as is" look. Not lack of those either. read more

These people go way above and beyond in sales, delivery and follow-up. I would recommend them to anyone looking for vintage furniture.
