Have to go down two sets of steps to get to the door, then back up stairs to the main level... overall I think we climbed up and down six sets of stairs, and we didn't even go to the highest level of the building! And this is using a cane: I think if you had a wheelchair you'd be out of luck, unless there is a hidden elevator somewhere. Their stock really hasn't changed much in a long time, so I guess between that and the fact that I can't get around the shop easily this just isn't the place for me.

I asked for a discount bc the paint work on this piece was sloppy. You could see the wood color under the newly painted piece in the drawer area, it was never taped off properly and it was just a bad paint job. That should have been my first clue to walk away. Vendor agreed to give me $25 off. I went ahead and bought the piece and Martin (part owner of rustic fox) helped load the piece into the bed of our truck. When they got it in the bed of the truck I noticed the wood was gouged. I noticed it and said, I'm going to repaint this so I'll just repair it with wood putty. Martin had hit this cabinet next to something that caused this to happen when he was bringing it back to load in our truck. We inspected the piece before we bought it and this was not there when viewing it on the floor. Now, I get it home and really start to look at it. This was not a gouge in the wood this was the paint peeling from the piece not being prepared properly. The wood is fine but the paint just peeled right off the piece. You can feel the old, varnished wood underneath. It's smooth like the day the piece was originally made. I called Rustic Fox and was told ALL SALES ARE FINAL. Beware what you buy here. This piece was never prepped and painted properly. Now I have to sand the piece down to the bare wood and prime and repaint. If this was prepped properly to begin with, I could do a light sand and prime and paint. My point here...Martin knew the piece was damaged when he loaded in our truck. He knew he did it. He could have allowed me to return it. The vendor lied and said how much prep work went into this piece. NOT TRUE, you can see it right on the actual piece, it was NOT PREPPED. I'll revise this post once I find out who the vendor is at Rustic Fox. BE CAREFUL when buying these painted pieces. BE CAREFUL all sales are final!!

This place is huge and can be a bit overwhelming because of how much there is to see! I think I've…read morebeen here three times total, and I've found at least one thing each time. We spent about an hour here and still did not see everything. The prices seem average and sometimes a bit expensive. The only thing I really dislike is seeing AI art and modern item. I think they should be more selective with their vendors. AI doesn't belong at an "antique" mall.

First time visiting. It is a very large shop. We spent one hour there and only looked at half the…read moreshop. I started off really impressed with the store. It is brightly lit. Each vendor's kiosk is clean and nicely decorated. My impression started to fall down when I used the ladies restroom and discovered that there was no toilet paper in any of the 3 stalls. Unfortunately, I didn't realize this until I had chosen a stall that I thought had paper in it. So no toilet paper for me. There are signs in the restroom advising patrons to let a staff member know if the bathroom needs attending to. I'm supposed to do your job? Shortly after we went to the check out desk. I had a simple pair of earrings. The check out desk had at least 4 women doing various tasks. Only 1 woman was checking out the customer before us. I honestly don't mean to sound disrespectful, but whenever you have 3 elderly customers huddled around the check out desk with the one cashier, it is a sure bet that the transaction is going to take an extra long time. And that it did. None of the other 3 women acknowledged me to signal that they could check me out so I didn't have to wait for the 3 elderly people to finish. After about 5 minutes one of the managers signaled to me "one moment". So I expected her to put down the task she was working on and check me out. Didn't happen. She continued to do her task as did the other 2 women and I continued to wait! After another 5 minutes or so, a worker came to the check out desk, set up and finally checked me out. I did not appreciate having to wait at least 10 minutes (maybe more?) to check out when I was the only one in line. IMO, a customer waiting to check out should take precedence over clerks doing other tasks. I want to return to look through the other half of the store that I did not have time to see. But frankly, the check out experience left a bad taste in my mouth so I am not in a hurry to return.

I'm glad that I did because this is a very nicely curated antique shop with a little vintage thrown in here and there for good measure. As far as pricing went I felt it was pretty reasonable for the most part. What really made the experience all the better though was the absolutely friendly shopkeeper who was working at the time. They were nice to everyone they interacted with and we had a nice conversation while I was perusing. I didn't leave with anything but I saw a couple of things I might come back for.

They have sales that change weekly and I've had excellent results with everything I've purchased here. They have a guarantee program too which is a nice perk, can't beat it.
