I was walking around Alameda and was waiting for my takeout lunch order to be ready at a nearby…read more restaurant. I fell into this intriguing Antique store on the main st. of Park Ave. It has 2 levels of pretty much anything ranging from Furniture, clothes, knick knacks and various things which are anything that constitutes as " antiques". I had bought a Hockey Jersey which has the infamous Friday the 13th villain but definitely in mint condition never worn. Sports memorabilia and Throwback jerseys and hats. The cashier was super friendly and helpful. It has something for everyone and also has reasonable prices.

Always wanted to go in this store, and then I saw some beautiful lamps in the window, did I need…read morethem no, but I wanted them. Ended up going in twice to decide, they gave me a great deal! Owners seem wonderful and each time I went there was a group of people hanging out, very social like a coffee shop, wish I lived in alameda, because I'd rather go there and hang than, a coffee shop! Had to buy lampshades for the lamps and unfortunately the shades I wanted I'm probably going to have to make because I can't find anything like them out there so I got some cheap one for now at Walmart, they look ok, doing the 60's thing!

This is a fun place to go! It's antiquing on a grand scale. Set on the old runway at Alameda Naval…read moreAir Force Base, right next to the loading docks. There are hundreds of booths. There are lots of bathrooms. There is food. There is a parking lot. I can tell you that later in the day it's going to be hard to get parking. There will be a super long line to get in there. So we don't go very often but it's fine. You could spend like three or four hours walking through the whole place. The vendors are super friendly. With hundreds of birth comes tons of selection and the value is pretty good. You can get good deals.

Every first Sunday you can find some hidden gems at Alameda Flea. From DVD, VHS tapes, rustic…read morepaintings, clothing, rugs to beer steins - there is no shortage of items. However, the parking situation can be quite tedious when arriving after 10am. The entrance fee varies based on the time you come in, with the most expensive being when they open at 6am ($20). My family and I got there around 11am and it was a $10 entrance fee. They do allow re-entries so long as you get a handstamp before exiting. Today was my first time visiting and I was taken aback by how pricey a lot of items were - especially the clothing. Many were priced higher than new items. The food vendors present were underwhelming. We had Donna's Tamales and it was quite bland and overpriced. They charged me $18 for 2 corn chili tamales. My husband and I had hoped to find some items for our new spot, but left empty handed. Not sure I will be back for how marked up the items were.

I highly recommend using Lynn's of Alameda for your estate sale. Jen and David of Lynn's took the…read moretime to walk through the house and provide an accurate assessment of the value of all the items in the home. They cared about the items in the home as if they were there own. They provided a comprehensive service, were professional, detailed, with excellent communication. Our goal was to empty the house, which they did by hosting an estate sale, donating items that didn't sell and moving items to landfill that needed to be moved (my mother in law lived in the house since 1969 and some items could not be sold or donated). And the staging of my mother-in-laws home and items was impeccable! Jen understood we wanted to maximize the price of the items, clean out the house and reduce the amount of inventory going to landfill - all three were accomplished!

Lynn's of Alameda handled my estate sale and they went above and beyond to make sure that I felt…read morecomfortable with the process. Every team member was so kind and compassionate. They work very hard to make sure that each item is displayed beautifully and their customer service is top notch. Thank you Jennifer, David, Lorelei and team for a wonderful experience.

This store is like a museum -- only better, because everything is for sale!…read more The Mr. and I searched high and low for a dining table and chairs for our Craftsman home. It was a tiresome, fruitless journey from one dusty antique store to another, on both sides of the Bay. I will admit that I was surreptitiously eyeing Restoration Hardware catalogs toward the end there, thinking, "Well, maybe this fake French apple cart table is as good as it gets." Dark days, my friends. Walking into California Historical Design, you're surrounded by a stunning collection of Arts and Crafts furniture and decor. No glossy reproductions or faux crackle. The real deal. This is not a bargain hunter's paradise, but we are beyond pleased with the dining room table and chairs we bought. I think they're a good investment -- in my happiness, certainly, and probably financially as well. And they're just lovely. And now people can eat dinner at my house without having to balance a plate on their lap. Gus, the owner, is passionate about his merchandise and the people who built it. He shares information happily, making trips to his store really fun. He's also meticulous about the pieces, delivers for free(!), and keeps a consistently-updated website with photos of all his merchandise. He's a true professional, and that's reflected in the beauty of his merchandise and the rapport he has with his customers. If you're looking for jaw-dropping furniture or an amazing art piece for your home, you have to come here. PS, We had trouble finding this place, because the Yelp reviews were not SEO optimized. OH, how I wish I'd discovered it sooner! So let me just say this: Craftsman furniture, vintage furniture, antique furniture, Craftsman dining table, Craftsman chairs, Stickley, Roseville pottery, Craftsman tile, Dirk van Erp, Arts and Crafts. Amen.

Security and bag check as you enter. She even laughed at my joke that my wife could fit a couch in my wife's purse, lol. Even when it was Bed, Bath and Beyond, the size always surprised me. Bathrooms I believe are in the very back of the building but I did not check or use them. Open 7 days a week from 11am to 7pm. Usually plenty of street parking, 2-4 hours free. But not today; it was crazy busy. We noticed a farmers market a block away...??? Paid parking garages are also available. Service - Friendly door greeter. Again, she even laughed at my joke, lol. Price - Depends on what you buy. Owner Comment - Congrats on your success since 2016.

Kingsley is a real treasure! As many have said: I always feel like I'm visiting an old friend when…read moreI stop by his shop. I adore his passion, knowledge, and his stories! He's always patient, happy to answer questions, and never ever pressures anyone to buy anything. It actually feels like you're visiting a collector's den or small museum where most things just happen to be for sale. I've learned a lot about textiles, woven blankets, and handmade quilts from Kingsley and am thankful for the time he took to get his newly acquired "baby" out of the back to show me. We both have a fascination with learning how things are made and we're dazzled by the work on this one. Speaking of "how things are made": he knows a guy named Cort that fixes and cleans old pocket and wrist watches. I bought an antique pocket watch from him a few years ago at a great price and it keeps time perfectly. I had also requested/mentioned I was looking for a specific vintage watch and he found one! Once again: great price. There have been slight issues with watch repair only because of the pandemic making many parts hard to find. I heard that the main source to get things may be or has already closed for good. It's rare to find people and items like the ones you'll find in this shop. Stop by and you'll find something interesting and beautiful, and most likely learn something new!

I consigned a pair of jade earrings to Michaan's for sale along with other items, and made it clear…read morethat for the earrings I wanted an auction reserve of $250; this reserve was duly recorded on the paperwork that was filled out for the items. Jill Fenichell, with whom I was working, noted that Marie Elise Coronado, the in-house jewelry appraiser, would have to agree to this reserve for it to go forward; but certainly did not note that there would be any repercussions beyond the consignment not going forward should Ms. Coronado not agree. Ms. Coronado later contacted me and said she couldn't grant my request, and the reserve would be $200. Okay, the contract states that reserves depend on agreement by the parties, so fine, I just asked when I could come by to pick up the earrings. At this point she took the arrogant stance that if I wanted the earrings back I would have to pay the fee for when consignors reverse the decision to consign items to Michaan's, and further claimed that only under restricted circumstances may consignors specify reserves for their items -- which is absolutely NOT what is specified by the language in the contract for reserves. I appealed to Ms. Fenichell for help, noting that good-faith dealing required that what had been established between Ms. Fenichell and myself must be honored, and received no help. In the end, I asserted control of the situation by invoking another clause of the contract that specifies that the day and place an item is sold must be by mutual agreement of the consignor and Michaan's, and stated that I would not consent to any particular circumstances of sale until this matter was resolved. At that point, Ms. Coronado agreed to my requested reserve. With a company that had the intention of dealing in good faith with its consignors, none of this nonsense could have occurred. Michaan's proceeded to violate its own contract by selling all of my remaining items at days and places of Michaan's own choosing, without obtaining, or even requesting, my agreement. In particular, my set of sterling silver was sold separately from its case, against my wishes.
