So it was out first time there and supposedly people really like the store so we drove an hour away…read moreto check it out. Very very clean and nice store, extremely organized. But... we expected more Quality items but instead there are plenty of booths with 3D printing toys, items from AliExpress and Temy, while glass cabinets of shampoo, soaps and conditioner and even old Bath and Body works products. Some booth has really nice kitchen items and organized beautifully but prices out of this world. As people who do toy shows and selling $$$$ of vintage toys, we definitely don't have a competition there, but as a customer I don't have an urge going back there at all. I was looking at CD, DVDs and Vinyl and most of that's stuff wasn't organized and I got tired of looking. Also you can buy physical media cheaper at record stores. Most of theirs are $5 a piece. It's too much for DVD less it's more desirable. So I am not sure how I feel about it. Same with CDs and vinyl. There is definitely no 70-90s toys, saw maybe a couple here and there. It's really good and clean store. But nothing to come back to.

This is the Antique Mall to visit and shop... This is the oldest & largest in Rockford. I asked how big -- 20k sq feet with 100+ dealers. They do a fabulous job at not only keeping the place clean and organized, but its nice and cool on this hot day I visited. I really do think you can find just about anything you are looking for inside this mall. It a huge selection with dealer specializing in separate types of antiques & collectibles. My favorite is the Vintage clothing section. They have so many great items at fantastic prices. I've found some real gems here. Also, If you are into Mid Century vibes -- I saw a lot of cool items.

Worst estate company to shop at. Her prices are so high it's ridiculous. She hands out flyers…read moreadvertising her next location and address dates and time. I used her sheet and drove to one. Took $10 in gas to get there and the place was closed and locked up. No notification or reason. I went to another site where Sonya was and requested she refund me the $10 her incompetence cost me for sending me on a wild goose chase. She got really snotty and said there was no way she would compensate me for her obvious mistake. She couldn't have cared less. There are too many other amazing companies out there and I will not go to another one of SBS sales. She is doing wrong to the families that hire her and won't get another penny from me.

It's located downtown rockford, the do have street parking available, as well as some reserved spots to the left of the building. All the trinkets and furniture is from the rockford rescue mission thrift store and is refurbished by the Women's life Recovery program and some local 815 artists. The best part? 100% of the proceeds go to the Rockford Rescue Mission. The furniture that i saw today was SO nicely done, and honestly a fraction of the price of most places I've been in the area. There's picture frame, kitchen utensils, pillows, jewelry, baskets, something for everyone's taste and it's all hand remade! I LOVE the concept, the staff was SO friendly and eager to explain everything to us. They are currently working on a couple more tables and other furniture pieces i cannot wait to see what they put out next. If you love refurbished items and your not a DIY type person this is your place ! Check it out.

I've always enjoyed supporting local businesses, but my experiences at Culture Shock were deeply…read moredisappointing, and I would advise others to avoid it. The owner, especially the gentleman with dreads, came across as insincere and unprofessional during both of my interactions. I brought in a crate of valuable hip hop records to sell, as I needed to cover a last-minute bill because I was the sole caregiver for my grandmother that had dementia, so her hospital bills were stacking up. I explained this to him, and I shouldn't have, but I didn't think he would take advantage of my situation. Despite showing the clear worth of my records--including a sealed original "Marshall Mathers LP" valued at over $200--the owner offered just $300 for over 50 albums of similar value. As a collector with over 20 years of experience, I knew this was a shockingly low offer. Needing the money and with other stores closed, I reluctantly accepted, but I felt completely ripped off. Later, the owner came to my home to view more records. He spent two hours carelessly disorganizing my collection, then made another unreasonably low offer. When I declined, he became aggressive, raising his voice and accusing me of wasting his time. His unprofessional conduct in my own home was appalling. I captured the entire incident on camera and seriously considered posting it, as his behavior crossed every line of respect and professionalism. Ultimately, he offered just $230. The next day, I sold the same records to Toad Hall for $1,400--over six times what Culture Shock had offered. This stark difference shows just how unfair their pricing is -- both buying and selling. While the owner's wife seemed polite, the owner (Skyler) behavior was entirely unacceptable. He clearly only values customers willing to accept unfair deals, and without his wife, I doubt this business would survive. After spending thousands of dollars here over the years, I can confidently say I will never return. If you value fair treatment and professionalism, take your business elsewhere. Toad Hall treated both me and my records with care and offered fair prices and they sell for reasonable prices as well and have a much better collection -- something I did not experience at Culture Shock.
