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.

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.

Even knowing this it felt like I should have worn a thicker jacket. The kids and wife were freezing and we had to get them used sweaters and a blanket from vendors on site. It's a curated selection of antiques, vintage good, and clothes so it will be more expensive than traditional flea markets. They have foods on site on the right side with normal items like coffee and breakfast burritos all the way to ube waffles and fried chicken. There are some treasures here if you are willing to go digging: -Near the front was a lady that had preserved bugs that were mounted in nice displays or frozen forever in blocks of acrylic. These are locally made and some of the species I haven't seen before preserved and available for purchase. -Seaglass and antique glass merchants. Saw two of these guys and liked the odd rainbow patina for glass that has spent decades in ocean water. -Japanese wood medicine boxes, these were decorated with old stickers and looked so good for storing items. They were 40-70 each and were priced well below market value.

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!

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.

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.

The amount of stuff was overwhelming! Every day the apartment wasn't vacant was costing $250. I had to get out asap. I had been to Rick's Estate store in Orinda (fantastic deals, btw,) and felt like some items may be of interest to him. I sent a few photos off and Rick said he could come have a look and write up an offer. He was able to come the next day! He wrote up an offer and quickly arranged movers. I felt such relief that some of the nicer items would go to people who would appreciate them and having someone else manage the logistics was a huge load off my shoulders. As it happens, Rick also was a huge advocate for me when scheduling the move in the building hit a SNAFU. I was barely holding it together and he swooped in and arranged everything with the move coordinator. The movers he works with (FirstHand Movers) are great, efficient, and respectful. After the selected items were removed, everything left seemed manageable and I was able to quickly clear out the rest using a junk removal service. I'm so grateful to Rick, his son, and his movers for helping me get everything out in just a few days. He offered to look through coins my mom left as well as jewelry so that's my next step.

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.

I've been to a bunch of used and vintage furniture stores around the Bay Area and this one is, by…read morefar, the best in terms of stock and selection at very reasonable prices. They have a selection of both actual used vintage pieces alongside new reproduction items. The reproductions they stock and have on display on the floor are surprisingly high quality if you're used to the type of stuff you'd find on Wayfair/Amazon/Overstock. The extra benefit is you get to actually check out the display models to evaluate the quality yourself before pulling the trigger. As for delivery, they suggest Lugg and setting that up is hassle free and straightforward as they frequently work with Lugg. A part of my purchase had to be ordered in (which only took a couple days), so when everything was available, I got a call from Poor Honey's letting me know everything was ready to go. All I had to do was take a photo of my invoice when booking the Lugg and I didn't have to go back in to coordinate the pickup - they took care of all that. I'll 100% be back as there were a couple other pieces that caught my eye when I was shopping for the dinette set that I ended up purchasing. Very satisfied with the whole experience and the set I purchased is beautiful.
