Service is great, people working there are attentive, helpful and wonderful. Even though there are a LOT of products (ie knick knacks) throughout the store, somehow, it is clean - no dust. They do a great job in keeping the inventory fresh, and change the layout frequently to keep it fresh. You can find gently used antique furniture, housewares, costume jewelry and seasonal items. Best thing is that you are supporting local vendors and artisans with your purchases. We are regulars as you never know what treasure you may find!

Once you walk in the door it feels like you took a step back in time. They have a HUGE selection of antiques represented by numerous vendors. The staff here is also extremely helpful. Last time we stopped in we easily spent a solid hour looking around at all the great items for sale and probably could have spent more. Great place to find items to decorate our homes! Highly recommended to anyone who loves antiques or is looking to furnish their home/s with a particular style. Love this place!!

Currently they have some crafty items and then some table with antique items that can be used for gifts or if you collect. Great prices. They didn't have too Much but enough to check out and look.

I was spending a few days staying with some friends in Middletown last week and had some time to…read morekill on Saturday. What's the best thing to do when that happens? Obviously it's to check out some antique centers and the first one we checked out was Forest City Merchants. This antique centre is located inside of what looks like an old factory building and has a pretty decent amount of space. The floor itself is separated by some small walls and there's a few separate rooms throughout the building. I spent maybe twenty minutes or so wandering around without finding anything, but hey, you could go to the same antique center once a week for a year and hit the absolute biggest jackpot one week and then strike out 49 weeks in a row, so that's just what happened on this day. I did see some cool action figures and such, and luckily it didn't appear that any of the booths here had Temu garbage. Overall, Forest City Merchants was a solid antique center to walk through and certainly a place to check out if you are in the area. I'll definitely be back in the future since I'll be staying in Middletown again.

This review only pertains to their advertised "Flea Market"…read more Let me be up front on this. I don't like antique stores, I find them to sell stuff I don't want at prices I can't afford. But I have always liked Flea Markets. When I lived in Central MA, we used to hit the Grafton Flea Market a lot and bought inexpensive stuff like household goods, kitchen stuff, baseball cards, etc. When I opened up this week's local paper and started perusing -my eyes locked on a big ad for "Flea Market at Burlington Inn Antiques. The ad gave a phone number for dealer spaces and dealer information. 20X20 spaces were $20 and it asked vendors to bring their own tables. This sure made it sound like a nice big outdoor flea market. The ad said you could buy antiques, comics, baseball cards, sports memorabilia, fishing tackle, model trains, and household items. Sure sounds like exactly the kind of flea market I would like. As we drove down Route 4, I figured it would be easy to spot the outdoor flea market. I was wrong, my GPS told me I had passed it. I made a U-Turn and pulled into the parking lot of Burlington Inn Antiques, and to my astonishment there was no outdoor anything. No tables, no vendors, no nothin'. The store was open and we saw a lot of cool stuff, but this seemed to be what they sell on a regular basis. I asked the proprietor where the baseball cards were, and she said they were taken out of the store for a card show. The newspaper ad said the Flea Market operates every Sunday from 8:00 -3:00. Except there was no flea market. So WTF???

Strange hybrid (vintage clothing/jewelry and lamps) that somehow works, probably because most…read moreeverything in the store is Art Deco or a little later. Clothing, hats, and (tons of) jewelry are in fabulous condition, but the prices reflect that. If you're looking for a fedora or a ladies hat to go with your vintage Chanel, this is the place. I'm not sure where you'd wear it, but check out the long green velvet cape in the front window. Very Gothic, or Jane Eyre, or fairy princess. Some furniture, books, and other stuff, but the main attractions are the dozens of unusual fixtures hanging from the ceiling. There are also floor lamps. One-of-a-kind stuff. But, again, the prices give you pause; a pair of Deco milk glass pendants were $895. Lamp repair seems to be a major thing here, and they'll also do appraisals (I don't know if that's just for jewelry or what.) Fun to browse, but I haven't been tempted to buy. The guy repairing a lamp in the back said hi but didn't offer any help. And I think this is the kind of place where you need help.

First, I am OBSESSED with vintage,…read moreparticularly Art-Deco and Mid-Century, jewelry which is beautifully displayed and organized in rows of carefully curated display cases making shopping this enormous collection a much more manageable endeavor. Amazingly, Karen, the owner, is not only extremely knowledgeable and helpful but knows where just about every little thing is at all times!! While the jewels are my primary target, the lamps and vintage clothing, especially the hats and furs, are to die. I have been shopping here for many years, as have numerous friends I've sent in, and am always surprised by the treasures I discover. Since moving to NYC, I long to make more frequent visits as even the city does not boast stores of this quality in terms of selection, value and expertise. I have also had several pieces repaired - including a Robert Lee Morris belt buckle - all of which are now in even better condition than they had been originally. Other reviewers have mentioned that the prices are either high or unfair and I strongly disagree. Clearly they do not understand the value or quality of this type of merchandise. Karen carefully selects, repairs and restores costume jewelry from many well-known jewelers as well as anonymous original pieces - the likes of which are often cheaply replicated and may be difficult for some to distinguish from the real deal. Trust me, it is worth it to by an authentic piece that you will either have for many years or be able to resell at a later point.

Currently everything in the store is Holiday themed. I'm sure with the seasons and holidays their inventory changes.
