My parents brought Peter Pap to their home to look at an oriental rug that had been in the family…read morefor many years. It has been well cared for for the decades that it's been in our family. It is livingroom sized and is too big for their new home. Peter Pap was brought in to Appraise and poosibly buy the rug. They were offered $500.00 for a carpet that had been appraised at $18,000.00 a few years ago. They have been a repected dealer in the Monadnock (NH) region for many years. This action makes me wonder what has happened to their business practices and how many other elderly clients have they treated this poorly. beware and do your homework before doing business with them.

Amazing to have a store like this in the area!…read more Lots of vintage, antique, and one of a kind pieces. Incredible variety of beautiful, real furniture. Much better quality and better prices than the particleboard stuff that even places like Anthropologie sell now. They always have a gorgeous selection of art and especially mirrors, pieces by local artists, plus soaps, lotion, and packaged food and drink mixes from local New Hampshire artisans. Also a great mix of clothing, jewelry, and gifts. I've gotten some beautiful and one of a kind lamps, glassware, and big pieces of furniture here. They're constantly bringing in new inventory so it's always exciting to visit and see what's new.

Whether you want to buy a terrarium or make one yourself this is the place to go. I would say that even if you end up deciding that you don't want anything here you will still be glad you stopped and looked around. Also they have a good selection of candles and other fragrances that always make this place smell great. This is the epitome of why I love Peterborough

Avoid this horrific business and its unprofessional owner at all costs. We left thousands of…read moredollars worth of jewellery in their care for repairs and experienced WEEKS of delays, outright lies, inability to track or trace where our precious pieces actually physically were (there's no computer system, no recorded phone interactions- just hand scribbled notes in poor penmanship & employees who aren't appropriately trained and left confused), and unfinished work. When my husband reached out for the 10th time today Jacqui was atrocious to him- we told her we were no longer comfortable with them handling the order, they aren't trustworthy, and we just wanted to come pick up our jewellery. Jacqui told us that Hobbs has 'been in business for 61 years' and that we'd get it when we get it, and then HUNG UP on my husband. After going down in person to the store we were finally forced to get the Peterborough Police Department involved today. It was only under the threat of us pressing charges for felony theft that the owner finally produced my rings. They were at an offsite jewellers 45 minutes away, she had to send an employee to go get them, and the order hadn't even been started... despite being in their possession for weeks. Jacqueline can have her friends post fake glowing reviews all she wants, but they won't drown out authentic customer experiences. The only reason they continue to remain in business after "61 years" is because they have no google listing or reviews, no public facebook reviews, no registration with the Better Business Bureau, and therefore no louder way for us members of the public to warn each other about their disgusting business practices. As much as we all want to 'support local,' RUN AWAY from this place.

As others have stated, the people who work there are condescending and rude. I brought in three…read morewatches and asked about replacing the batteries and new watch bands. I have a large collection of Swatch watches and when I called the company they very graciously told me the ones I wanted worked on were "vintage" so they didn't have the exact bands but sent me complimentary bands. They also said they would replace the batteries and bands for free. I didn't want to drive to Boston to the store so stopped in a Hobbs. Rude, snarky and wildly expensive. Good luck keeping locals customers coming back with that attitude Ladies! Mr. Hobbs was such a gentleman, I'm sure he is rolling in his grave at the way his store is treating people.
