This place is like that secret stash. Better really. I didn't want to post this review because now all you get to go there and buy up my cool shit. But it's a pandemic and I'm worried they won't make it. So go there and buy stuff and keep them going, just don't buy my stuff, ok?

We purchased it and brought it home but unfortunately, even after measuring, it was just too large for our space. We held on to it for a week in hopes that we could make it work but we ultimately couldn't. I thought, "there is no way we can return this," but my husband called anyway and Alice was so understanding and graciously gave us a full refund on the item. This level of customer service and understanding was SO appreciated. Alice went above and beyond for us and we will definitely be back in the future!

She didn't hover but was available for questions. We didn't buy a sofa that day. We did go back 6 months later and Carol had remembered us. The service was laid back and not a lot of pressure, which I enjoyed. The quality and selection of the furniture is really nice and had a great range from traditional to modern. I loved how they have a mix of new and vintage pieces throughout the store. The delivery was when they told us it would be and the delivery guys were patient and everything went smoothly. If we are in the market for more furniture, we will be back.

His demeanor changed instantly and he angrily and rudely stated, "that's where I wanted them." No good deed goes unpunished. Oh well. Other patrons asked him questions of him while I was there. He couldn't answer any of the questions and had to call and text his wife. He stated he didn't know what was going on??? The shop was very disorganized and dirty. Me and my money left the business without making a purchase. I won't be back. I highly recommend FO Bailey Antiquarians right up the road.

I can't recall the last time I had such an unpleasant experience with a company! My experience…read morewith Cherished Possessions echoes many of the 1-star ratings previously given this company: * First item reportedly sold over three months ago with the last item reportedly sold over a month ago. I've not received ANY reimbursement despite my repeated requests for payment. CP's response: The check is in the mail. * Cherished Possessions emailed asking for my mailing address. As I had provided this information previously, I contacted a friend to pick up my check as I no longer live in Portland. Five days later I informed Cherished Possessions of my arrangements to obtain the payment due me; they emailed me back stating as they did not hear from me they mailed it to my Oregon address but did not confirm which address the check was supposedly mailed. The Kicker: I took five days for me to get back to Cherished Possessions, but it takes them weeks to respond to my requests, if they respond at all. * CP took weeks to re-establish my CP account after I informed them I no longer had access, preventing me from tracking sales on my furniture. CP's response: Their staff has been out sick. * When my account access was finally re-established, it did not show which of my items were sold or for how much; rather the account stated 'Total Paid to Date: $325.00'. The Kicker: I've not received ANY payment from Cherished Possessions. * I made arrangements for an item, reportedly not sold, to be picked up after the 90-day period stated in CP's contract. When contacted to make pickup arrangements, CP stated the item had been sold. When asked about the conflicting information provided by CP, the CP staff member became rude saying she didn't have time to discuss the furniture. With the loss of my property without the promised reimbursement, I now realize my mistake was not adhering to the numerous 1-star reviews given this business. Potential consignors & buyers should also read Cherished Possessions' responses to prior 1-star reviews which I found to be condescending & dismissive to concerns expressed by consignors.

The man on the phone acted as if my business wasn't valued to them. It felt like he was just trying to get me off of the phone ASAP! I've never felt so devalued by a company in my life! He told me a lady who does the appraisals would call me back, took my phone number and hung up! It is now well over 2 years later and I still never got the call back!!! I'm certainly not calling them back to engage with them as their lack of caring for their potential customers clearly testifies to how I would be treated as a real customer! Furthermore, seeing their ratings on here, truly tells me my intuitions were more than correct!

I found my way into Cowbwebs on a hot July day and immediately wanted to leave…read more I stayed as long as I could in order not to be rude, but the air was dead still in there, and it smelled awful. Not just like antiques. Awful. The woman behind the counter was talkative in a bad way. I relish friendly conversation when visiting shops. It's one of my favorite things about visiting stores! But this woman just kept asking questions, one after the other, the entire time I was there. I tried to make it clear with body language that I was just interested in browsing, but she kept on coming with the questions. It was more of an interrogation than a dialog. Merchandise wise, I saw nothing of value. Everything was sort of just stacked in dusty piles. There were none of the, "Oooooh, look at that! What a cool thing!" moments that you want when visiting an antiques or thrift-type shop. Maybe there's some hidden treasure in there, but for me it wasn't worth the dig.
