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.

We purchased it and brought it home but unfortunately, even after measuring, it was just too large for our space.

This antique store is worth stopping to look around in it! Please take the time to stop and look,…read moreif you're reading this review! The store manager was super friendly. Even though we didn't buy anything, she helped us find a great local lobster restaurant, giving us three choices that locals prefer. Super nice lady! The goodies inside that I was most interested included a miniature tea set that said "Delft Pottery" on the bottom, some very old and tiny spoons, and pretty pocket watches. My uncle was looking for watch fobs, which she didn't have, but if you give her time, I bet she'll add them to her collection... I collect antique dolls and toys, and there were few of these items in her collection, but she did have a neat little trike from the turn of the century. It was just not what I was looking for at the time. Since the little shop didn't have exactly what we needed, I'll give four stars, but I want to say that the kind and friendly attitude of the lady running the store is worthy of five stars! Thank you, Megan A. for your kind advice on lobster restaurants!

Such a cute shop. Well curated it and with great prices on home decor. Such a gem in this area.read more

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!
