I was super excited when I arrived. I started to look around and the owner, Jack, found me and said to yell if I had a question about pricing. Nothing is priced and everything has 10 layers of dust. I picked up one thing and my hands were gray when I put it back. I think if he cleaned the items, he would have a better chance of selling more. There are items inside and outside and Jack was very friendly and personable. There is a great selection of various collectibles and I still had fun looking around nonetheless. read more

This is one of the best antique shops you'll ever run into. The American Pickers would call this a "honey hole!" Incredible inventory and extremely fair prices. The owners were beyond kind and we're so glad we stopped! We left with treasures we will keep forever. Thanks guys! read more

If I could give 0 stars I would. Business owners harass you online when you inquire about an item and don't reply quick enough to their response or don't purchase said item. Really unprofessional. Blocked me on Facebook so I couldn't hold a conversation with him. Happy holidays huh? read more

Sadly because of this experience I won't be back. I haven't bought a lot here but what I have bought I've been happy with. Because I ran out of time to come look at an item the following screen shots were how I was treated. Then because they can't be an adult you get put down and blocked on FB. Pathetic owners. read more

I had so much fun at Glamtic! It took at least an hour to see all of the inventory. The owners are super friendly and very knowledgeable about everything there. A word to the wise . . . Don't intend to go there and try to haggle on prices. A lot of what is there is not new and may not have a price tag on it but Jack knows the price of everything! I think the prices are spot on!! read more

If i could have given it 0 starts i would. Worst customer service and rude harassing owner. There is a reason they have such poor reviews. Don't you dare ask a price on messenger!! They will be rude to you and then block you if you don't agree with their pricing or respond fast enough. Who ever answers that needs to take a course in customer service. Let alone how that structure is even safe to shop in!! Surprised no one has reported it. Heads up owners of Glamtic, your reviews are proof that you are horrible at customer service, over priced for stuff that sits out in the weather and like to verbally harass people in comments then block them!!! You sir are such a sad person to be this rude to potential customers. Word gets around Bakersfield on how rude you are . All of us feel bad for your spouse......... read more

Well this deserves 1 star...... I have been searching for a mirror for our wedding and came across one on their Facebook page so, I inquired and requested a price. I received a response at 4:18am if I was interested in purchasing and then a follow up at 7:35am which, first off I was asleep at 4am and not glued to my phone and or Facebook at that time. I received another message right after from them stating to not ghost them and shop somewhere else. The fact that I was was actually very interested in purchasing the mirror but with the rude comment I rather take my business somewhere else. I love local shopping but I should of looked at there previous reviews on Yelp! They have low ratings and do not recommend them at all. Not a way you respond to customers. read more

Owners are beyond rude and have no idea how to speak to people in a professional manner. They harass you if you shop but don't buy. Or choose to go with someone else . Which I think they misunderstand the definition of shopping read more

Bad customer service. Would not recommend to purchase or sell any items to and from this business.

The rude behavior is atrocious. When someone tells you something is out of their price range, you don't belittle them. Nobody is wasting your time asking for prices. What would be wasting your time is having you ready for purchase and then declining to pay at the last minute. Price comparing is common. I hope you continuously lose business. You don't deserve it. read more

Inquired about a piece via text. They replied with a price. Too high. Then they showed another pic. When we asked if they were open, they said no. We thanked them and we were told to shop somewhere else. No problem you rude asshole. read more

After purchasing a lot of items from this place over the years... I say no thank you and dude acts like a total dick read more

They will harass you on Facebook for making an inquiry and deciding not to purchase. It's very strange and unsettling. Not sure why anyone would handle business that way. I may have passed on the one item but if they handled it better I would have definitely checked out other items. But the way they went to the extent they did to send messages over something as small as saying no thank you to one of their items is concerning to say the least. read more

I recently inquired about the height of an item they had posted on Facebook , they responded with the height and I thanked them . They then asked me if I wanted to buy it. I said no thank you and then they asked me why I had asked about the height? I told them I was curious and that if I wanted to buy it I would have said so. Then they told me in the future to only ask questions during their one day a week that they are open , Saturday 10-3 . I suggested they might want to post measurements and price when posting and item on Facebook so that they wouldn't have to answer questions during the week. This is what they said next FYI one u haven't even liked our page. Two we don't need a dollar to survive. We need customers thst realize how hard we work for them. Obviously you are not one. Since u can't handled being told to only ask questions on our one day a week business. We post hundreds of things a week. To take the time measuring and putting prices we would never get anything accomplished so u as a customer has to do something besides sit at home and scroll. We make it very easy for you to find things but don't recognize our efforts case in point. Good luck finding what we have to offer on a thousand fold anywhere for 100's of miles. Good/courteous customers are very welcoming to us and our help. Bye What ever happened to customer service ?? I seriously don't know how they are staying in business but I won't be going there again and everyone I know has unfollowed them on Facebook now . read more

I rarely write reviews but I had to write this one. I was in this store looking for treasures to fill a house that I am purchasing. Just as I found a really nice potting bench, I was walking towards Jack, the owner, to inquire about the price. I overheard him telling another customer that he was so annoyed by people that are slamming him on social media because he was flying a Confederate flag. He said this with an exaggerated southern accent. I grew up in the south so I know a southern accent. He raised his voice, though the customers weren't signing in ASL and seemed to be able to hear him, and stated " the Confederate flag is the same as the American Flag". I was so appalled at this man's ignorance I had to leave. Never to return. I hope that some day he regains his senses. read more

**UPDATE** Jack the douchbag left my wonderful review a "compliment"! He called me a POS because "after all this time I'm still upset about getting banned" Really guy?! I don't know what planet this guy is from, but business owners do not treat PAYING CUSTOMERS this way! What he should have done was apologize profusely to me for the bad service I received and done something to help me. Then maybe this update would have gone a bit differently ‍ ijs.... Look everyone, let's call this guy Jack what he is...a dick! An Asshole! A passive aggressive POS! I stumbled across this place on Facebook and couldn't wait to check them out. I love thrifting and antique shopping so I went ASAP. I ended up finding exactly what I needed, an antique door I wanted to make into a headboard. Unfortunately I realized I would need 2 alike doors to realize my vision. I asked Jack if he could hold the door and he informed me of his $10 deposit. I let him know I was going to check a few more places to see if I could either find an exact duplicate of the door he had at his shop or 2 other matching doors. I told him I'd let him know either way. I ended up finding 2 exactly alike doors already painted and welded together for $10 more than Jack was asking. I called Jack and informed him of my awesome find and he seemed upset. I, never wanting to piss someone off I'm definitely planning on continuing business with, told him to keep my $10 deposit since I wouldn't be taking home the door. Jack was clearly pissed and although I couldn't wrap my head around why, I apologized...profusely. He continued to rip into me about being a bad customer. I was flabbergasted! Fast forward a couple years and I see a nice neon bar sign that I am severely (lol) interested in. I ask in the comments how much for the sign. Jack (I'm assuming) informs me it's $150! I'm completely taken aback and don't even have time to register the audacity of the price before he comments again with, "would you like to come and see it?" By this time I was trying to tread lightly with my comment and let him know that the price was a little steep for my liking. I informed him that it was a little more than I was looking to spend at this time and thanked for his quick response. Another year or so and I'm back on his Facebook page. This time I spotted some live edge wood that would have been great on a project I was working on. Instead of asking a price I decided to head to the shop and look around. He'd already sold the piece I wanted so as I was window shopping I found another bar sign. This one wasn't neon so I figured it couldn't be as expensive as the last one...boy was I wrong! He wanted $150 for a plain bar sign! I left the shop. Awhile later a coworker was asking for some advice on a local thrift type place with great, unique antiques. I pulled up Glamtic and quickly realized I had been halfassed blocked! I couldn't post a comment on anything (actually there was no comment option for me at all) and then couldn't remember the last time I'd actually seen a post from them. I looked around the page and could see they continued to regularly post content and after checking all of my settings realized I must have been blocked from seeing their posts. I am thoroughly confused by the horrible customer service I was continually given by Jack at his establishment. After several tries I continued to go and give him my business, guided my coworkers and friends to his shop when I was asked of places I go and spoke highly of Glamtic. It has been a year since I've stepped foot in his place and I don't feel like I've missed out at all. I honestly think he's missed out on my purchases and those people that I have stirred away from him. I've given several other, more friendly and customer service oriented places for my friends to frequent. I hope this review helps every single person that reads it to STAY AWAY FROM GLAMTIC!!!! THEY DON' T VALUE THEIR CUSTOMERS!!! I wish I could make these comments on his actual business page to let him know what a horrible business owner he is but he blocked me quick enough to stop me from doing just that. Remember Jack... "The Customer Is Always Right!" read more

The person that runs this shop is a very very miserable person. I asked a question as to how much an item was. And just because I was not sure, I wanted to buy the item and I was not sure how much my other half really liked the item, especially to pay that much money for it. The person told me off just because I was undecided. I asked one question and I got bombarded with five questions as to why I didn't buy the item right then and there and then I was told off. This person told me off because I did not want to spend my hard earned money frivolously before asking my other half the item was a gift and I wanted to make sure my other half liked the item.. read more

On 1/15/24 I asked about a piece of furniture yesterday afternoon or so to see if it was still available. Glamtic responded back to me later that evening Glamtic message me back, You want to buy? I wasn't able to answer them back right away as I am disabled so at 5 o'clock am 1/16/24, I get a message asking if I want to buy?, I responded no, do you realize what time it is? a couple of hours later Glamtic messaged me back and asked me if I knew what time it was yesterday when Glamtic responded back to me.I don't get what that had to do with messageing me at 5:00 am this morning you took your time to respond back to me as well yesterday, Get a clue Mr.or Mrs.If someone does not respond back to you maybe they are no longer interested or aren't able to answer right away, Glamtic told me to shop elsewhere then blocked me Lol no love lost here (I know Glamtic you will read this), so just wanted to let you and the public know that you don't have the greatest reviews, Glamtic owners or whoever responded is Rude and pushy also desperate to make a sell @ 5:00 am. I don't shop with you and never have and never will. RUDE POS. Cant wait to see your response. I am going to Rate you on Yelp and every Social media there is 0 stars. Glmtic 0 stars again You are so lucky I have to put one star to post but it's worth it to me have a nice day read more

Jack is very rude and pushy when replying to inquiries on his Facebook page for Glamtic. He told me to find somewhere else to shop because the item wasn't quite big enough for the space we have. Then he blocked me. Word of mouth is everything to small business owners. You lost my business. read more

Was interested in a book that they had. One person was told it was $25. When I later said I wanted to buy it I was told the price was $75!!! Asked about the price change an they got really rude a crappy and then proceeded to ask me if I was ready to buy a piece of furniture I had inquired about a while before. (Never once said I was going to buy it) These people are very disrespectful and unprofessional!! If I could give zero stars I would! read more

Much like others on here, whoever runs the IG has to be on drugs. I messaged with interest, never said I would buy, just that we would stop in. Hounded me daily early in the AM each time. Here are screen shots from IG. I would of responded but the persistence of such early messages gave me pause. I checked and found that I'm blocked from the page now too. read more

Reached out on their public Facebook post under a photo of a piece of furniture to inquire about the price of an item, price was advised. Later that morning received a Facebook message asking if I was going to buy the item, I didn't respond instantly and 20m later they sent a ?. I said "no thank you" and was questioned why...the guys a jerk! Harassed me about not buying the item and proceeded to tell me I must not have enough money to really pay for it. I will NEVER step foot in there and I will spread this info like wildfire in hopes no one else will either, should never treat people that way. Wasn't about the money, but now it's about their lack of customer service. They must be desperate for business and I can see why. read more

Messaged the owner to inquire about pricing to be told it was broken and asked about lower price.. was still too high and didnt respond same day. Next morning at 6 am I am getting harsssed about why I wont send money. Explained the price was still to high for something that doesnt work, then was called "idiot" and them requesting my personal information, legal name, etc... very bizzare and rude. Would not recommend. read more

Owners were sarcastic at one time...rude at another point. No longer a fan of this place.

This business is an absolute joke. The owners are rude, condescending, and harassing. I asked the price on an item on their Facebook page, got a reply from the owner stating the price. I told him no thanks I will pass the next thing I know he's harassing me in the comments asking me, what I would pay I told him $50 he said that's not enough. I said no problem thanks for your time. I figured that would be the end of the conversation but no, the next morning he started harassing me through private messenger after I told him no thank you again he said that I was harassing him and that I was no longer allowed to shop at his store. He then blocked me on Facebook, so I couldn't respond back. This person is a complete joke, very rude, and seems to think that all of his items are worth their weight in gold. The store is over priced for a bunch of junk I recommend do not shop here!!! For being a "veteran owned" Business, this man definitely does not know how to treat potential customers or return customers for that matter all the items he has for sale or nothing but garage sale junk and crap. He's picked up off the side of the road. Do not shop here. read more

So many cool things at this shop! Was going to go yardsaling, but didn't want to deal with all that frustration! Found lots of cool things all in one place for what we wanted to decorate with! It was reasonably priced considering I didn't have to "hunt" a billion places to find what I was looking for! The owners were very kind and helpful! read more

I had a great experience today. Can't wait to go back to buy more finds. I got a really cute vanity for my daughter that I plan to refinish. Jack and Stefani were very friendly and helpful. I will be back! Got the vanity taken apart and one of the drawers will not open, it's completely water damaged and has mold. Complete waste of money, it's my fault for not investigating it more before purchasing. It was wedged in with tons of stuff around it So I was unable to see the damage. read more

Very rude, inappropriate direct messages on social media and very unprofessional. Really too bad because I have shopped here several times and liked the pieces I paid entirely too much for but wasn't unhappy with them. It is never okay to direct message people and be an ass hole for no reason at all. read more

Well this is my 3 time here and yes there is a lot of stuff no pricing, but you know the owners are so nice they answer all questions, know all pricing and you can find things that u do as a Pinterest project to just have at home. My 4 yr old loves to come and go inside to see what new cars they have and to say hi to there dog. I bought the cutest dresser to use by my front door price was reasonable. Some may say high price but you know you pay for dresser plus they took the time to sand it and paint it. And I love love love it. Will return again. I promise you that read more

We have spent a lot of money here along with family and friends. We have advertised this establishment all over Facebook and several other media sites of how great and awesome this place is. Looks like we will be reflecting different views about Glamtic. Poor customer relations skills. read more

Completely agree with all of the commenta below. This week I was harrassed at 4am several times from the husband/owner via text and on IG. I will provide screenshots in comment session. I want everyone to know that his wife is the only reason why I made purchases in the past. Last weekend, my bf picked up the 4th furniture piece I purchased. During this time my bf and I were discussing the tri color piece. She suggested I put a deposit to secure first pick and I could go see it once it was completed. She informed us that if I didnt like the piece I would get full refund of the $50 deposit. I just wasnt clear on his vision with it but I like the detail on the piece. Well come a few days later of him messaging me and requesting for me to pick up the item. I work 10hr days yet he demanded an immediate reply even if it was at 4-5am. At one point he threatened me and said I had until 10am or my deposit would be sent back. I have yet to receive my deposit. I have requested it and made it clear I will never set foot in his place. He has refused to return my deposit telling me I have to go in person tomorrow. I zelled his wife the deposit. I explained all of this to him yet he continued to be completely rude, inappropiate, unprofessional, egotistical and just plain wrong. He gas lighted me by turning it all on me claiming I caused all of this and trying to make me think I was in the wrong. I have spend over $1000 on furniture pieces. I rarely leave reviews. I would hate for anyone else to go through this- Several days of harrassing messages. He seriously has some major issues. I feel bad for his wife. She is so nice and lovely. I know you will read this review and all of the others I will leave on other platforms- I WANT MY REFUND SENT ZELLE IMMEDIATELY. I WILL NEVER BUY OTHER ITEM FROM YOUR PLACE. read more

Whoever runs their Facebook page is child like in their behavior. When I thought the price was too high for something, they would not leave me alone. Kept asking how much I would pay for something like that. I tried to ignore them and they just kept asking. Almost like a stalker! I have never bought anything from them and I never will. I will make sure none of my friends and family shop there. What a creep! read more

My first visit will be my last! I was looking around at what is disorganized chaos, or better yet a filthy junk yard. I saw a wood crate I thought I would ask for a price on. I moved it close to the pac man arcade game so I could show my boyfriend and ask the woman who worked there what the price was. She took a picture and texted someone. I continued to look around, my boyfriend asked for a price on some beer tap handles. The guy who worked there told him the price and my boyfriend said, would you take $150 for them. The man who worked there said no. I was already outside and my boyfriend joined me. We decided not to purchase anything and walked to our car. The man who worked there followed us to the car and started telling us we were rude and not to come back. We asked what was going on. He said we moved a crate and we are not allowed back. I was in total shock. He was in my boyfriends face so my boyfriend got out of the car and told him not to get in his personal space. I can't believe he would follow us to the car to tell us to never return. Like that is a threat. I would never return to the junkyard with that crazy man. As you can see from all the bad reviews this is a place you should stay away from. read more

Don't shop here.... very rude and unprofessional. If you are looking for your stolen items then this is the place to look at because they buy stolen items to resale. He preaches the Lord but doesn't do right as a Christian. Jack get some mental help... there's plenty of places to help people like you. read more

I have purchased from this place for 7 years and recently I didn't want to pay $200 for a piece of furniture and Jack got mad and told me I'm always rude to them when I go and that I never pay what they ask for. How come you let me go in to your store if I'm always rude?! He told me to shop somewhere else. He blocked me from instagram as well. Sorry if you are running low on money for your vacations and your new build. There was no need for all of that. Saw another review of something similar happen to someone else. read more

i agree with all the one star reviews on here,rude & unprofessional at its finest!!!!! they should put the measurements and price of the item as is and painted so they wont have to bother answering all their dms since thats what they get irritated by and then get all upset when u arent interested,look you cant force anyone to buy anything...then have the audacity to tell the customer to "go shop somewhere eles" which i definitely will!!! all because i didnt buy a certain piece from them and i have a history of purchases from them just wow!! go take a business class!! read more

By far the worst customer service I have ever received. Rude, absolutely horrible experience read more

Here's my opinion of this business. I follow them or "Like" them on Facebook, they post pictures of product & if you comment they usually respond right away. I inquired about a piece & the correspondence followed, I asked for measurements & was given the info right away. I asked if they we're open today being Sunday & they said no but we can meet you. I said great! (They offered, I did not ask) So we coordinated a time 11:30am, I have never been to this business & was unaware of the exact whereabouts. I was coming from Rosedale hwy. (having breakfast with a friend at J&M's Cafe) Super busy & traffic was pretty bad, but we we're on the way. I called to say this because we obviously were running behind 10min.....and I was greeted with rudeness over the call. The man on the phone was not pleasant, he kept saying he had to come on his day off, well excuse me but you are the one that offered to meet on your so called day off...I didn't ask you to do that. We literally were 5-10minutes away & he wasn't going to wait. That's cool, I was going to your place of business to purchase a piece of recycled furniture from you, that you offered to come to on a "Closed" day & apparently your "only day off". So you see you allowed me to rethink my purchase & your rude attitude.... "NO THANK YOU", I'd rather take my business else where, unfollow & nonsupport your local business. Some people have no people skills, don't offer things if you're going to be put out by it. read more

I was a little nervous to come here because I've seen how the owner speaks to his customers on facebook-yikes. But I was looking for something different and saw a cool piece on their page so I decided to come in. A young girl helped me and was very sweet. Overall I was there about 10 minutes and everything went smoothly while I was there. When I got home I saw that the base of the mirror to the vanity I bought had been cracked when it was removed by one of the employees. It was really uncool of them to not mention it when they did it. I was near them but not watching them. I should have been. I didn't contact the shop because I've seen how they respond to unhappy customers and didn't really feel like fighting over something I could figure out how to fix myself. Even though I shouldn't have to. Also, the paint job that they did was so horrible. They took a beautiful old vanity and painted it this mauvey color and then swiped it with blue to "antique" it. Anyone that knows how to properly antique things knows this is a cheap ugly way to do it. That and they ignored spots they didn't think people would immediately see like underneath where you sit in the vanity, or behind the legs..but you should still paint those areas lol. Thankfully I was already planning on stripping that ugly paint job and redoing it. I ended up loving how it turned out but it wasn't cheap even though it was water damaged, painted horribly and broken. Looking back I should have passed on it but now that it's in my daughters room and it looks awesome I don't regret it. I probably wouldn't come here again though, there are much more clean and friendly places in town to get old furniture. Pros- they have a lot of cool items and if you're like me and like to rummage this is a fun place to check out Cons- a lot of their items are sitting outside so they have water and sun damage, bugs, and a ton of dirt on and inside them. Be prepared to clean your pieces well before bringing them into your home. None of their items are marked which seems a little fishy to me because I've heard people get a lot of different prices quoted to them based on the day, time or person they asked. And of course their scary owner. Don't question him or he will bite your head off haha. read more
