My experience with ETG was peculiar. After realizing that I sure as hell can't afford Express and…read moreBanana Republic, and wanting to up my clothing game a little (paring down to basics), I went to arguably the most popular thrift store on Staten Island. Upon arrival, wife and baby in tow, they asked me to please leave my beverage at the desk, not politely, but not necessarily rudely. Aloof, I suppose. Sure. Then they also asked to leave my diaper bag. Eh, uh, okay. Immediately put off. What if my baby needs a bottle? I gotta go all the way back to the front? Little did I know that there was only one floor available, so my annoyance was relatively unjustified. But still, coulda been nicer. In the store itself, it is very well curated, organized far better than the Salvation Army I struggled to search through. The men's section was bustling with good deals for vests, suit pants, and basic button downs. They also had a variety of athletic jerseys, swim trunks, and ties (which I found relatively overpriced). Side story: midway, I struck a conversation with the same aloof cashier previously mentioned, and she turned out to be very kind and funny. So, there's that. There was also a very nice young lady stocking in the aisles. The outcome was small, but great: a button down for less than three dollars, and these perfectly fitting shorts for less than seven. From, yeah, Banana Republic. The icing on the cake that really sells this place is their flyer in the front that showcases other thrift stores on the island you might not have known about. Stop here first and foremost, try not to spend all your money, and peruse the other shops!

There's always a wide variety of products here with very fair prices. My wife and I regularly donate our gently-used clothes here; there's a bin right by the entrance for quick drop-off.

Love Your Furniture Again Antiques is my favourite new curio shop. Located in the working class…read moresection of Staten Island's North Shore known as Stapleton - 638 Bay Street, very near the Stapleton Station train stop and not far from the Ferry - the price range is "From two dollars and up," according to the manager. They have great hours too - well suited for working people. Closed on Tuesdays, they are open 11 am to 8 pm on weekdays and from 11 to 6 on weekends. The staff is very friendly and welcoming and the items for sale are just terrific. If you want a true antique that is unique and in great shape you may pay a couple of hundred dollars but not thousands. This is not a thrift store and yet it is affordable. What caught my eye were the two very large animals in the window display. Prior to the store opening I shot a photo of the window display, focusing on one of the creatures - this image was a very popular item on flickr. My photo wound up in the "In Explore" group which is a highly sought after honour. I generally get from 200-300 hits on an image and 8-10 favourites - the window display from Love Your Furniture got over 5400 hits and 67 faves. What was the item? A large, pink, jewel encrusted, bird or mammal of some sort. When the store opened I ventured in to see what the creature was - it, and the jewel encrusted golden giraffe that graces the other side of the window display, was apparently part of a carousel at one time. This truly unique item and many more diminutive but equally interesting items await the visitor at this gem of a store. In addition to antiques the store features handmade items by Yana, one of the owners - one such item is a gorgeous decoupage end table. If you are on the Island to check out our great street art - and Stapleton is the epicenter of this activity - stop by Love Your Furniture Again Antiques. Bring your wallet as there is literally something for everyone. If you are looking for something in particular, call the shop at 917.525.6686. Oh, BTW, they restore antiques too!

Stopped by this place today, as I've done a few times and even purchased a few things a long with…read moremy kids. Wasn't sure if the man who worked there just had a terrible personality, and is usually rude, unwelcoming , unfriendly or was it because of my what I looked like. There was an item on the wall that caught my interest, remove it off the wall as it was for sale, but I wanted to inspect it further. As I removed the item, the piece that held it on the wall fell, not the item it self but a piece of wire. He comes over and with a very rude tone tells me, not to take anything down if I don't have too, " it's the reason I took it down to begin with" as I couldn't tell what it was. I told him there was no sign indicating not to remove anything off the wall, and he responds by telling me there's signs in other places and he can't put them everywhere. Very distasteful and regret spending my money there. I usually like to match people's energy but at the time felt like he wasn't worth my energy. A better approach: Hi ma'am, can I help you with that, we unfortunately recommend not taking things off the wall, instead ask for assistance and I'll be glad to help. ​ Work on your attitude sir, and if it was because of what I looked like. Then that even more terrible. I will also be telling my family members not to ever shop there again!

I would recommend this place only for window shopping the immense collection of "ahem" antiques…read morethey have. But much of the antiques are frankly just extremely overpriced junk. There were a lot of items which were stained and broken but they still have the audacity to charge actual money for it. One of the men who works there made me never want to buy anything in that place ever again. I found an old trinket which was quite overpriced for what it was and I asked for a couple of dollars less. The amount of rudeness I got back I didn't expect! It's not like people are buying this junk left and right. It just sits there for years and years! My offer was not at all unreasonable. But one of the men who works there makes the antique shopping experience so unpleasant that I'm done shopping there. It's just entertaining to walk around and I come in mainly for the nice cafe in the back... If you want great antiques at fair prices, this is definitely not the place to buy!

I found some really cute dresses and jeans here. The only reasons why it's not 5 stars for me is because some of the clothes you may need to inspect very carefully as they may have a small stain or a small tear but most of them are in really good condition. And although the clothes are all neatly on racks, they are not organized by size so you'll have to really sift through everything. All in all, I'm definitely a fan! I'd recommend this place to everyone! It's a really good thrift store. It's really great to check out and there are a lot of good clothes for sale!
