They also wrapped the pot in foil and offered a note card which they added to the plant. Then, they carried it to my car! This is a 180* experience than I had the day before at another farm stand on the Reading/Woburn line where I was ignored and no one could answer my questions. Thank you O'Briens!

I was looking for a certain plant. After wandering around , I found it without a price tag. I went…read moreback to the register and asked the price. They didn't know and couldn't find the price anywhere. So that was a lost sale. Then I bought something with $5 as their sign requested but they didn't have any $1s for change. There were all these flies inside the store and it smelled like overripe fruit. I won't be back.

I knew what I wanted when I went in so I wasn't asking for a lot of help - just reassurance that the brand I chose was reliable. She did her sales job v effectively, but when I said I wasn't interested, she didn't push. She saved me a little $ and offered good advice. I would go back to Home Depot to buy appliances based on my experience with Cheryl. (Sad to say that my experience over the years with many of the HD emplyees was not good. Lots of people who can't be bothered or don't know more than I do. This time I dealt with 2 sales women. - both were great. Perhaps HD needs to hire more women?) Two final points: why are the ratings on Yelp so low while Google reviews are glowing. For the same store?? Finally I had a hard time reaching Reading, so after 6 hours of trying I googled Home Depot Customer Service. I called an 800 number and was told my account had a red flag. I said I just got the card 6 hours ago. Person on the other end was nasty and insisted that my info was compromised. She spoke with a very thick Indian accent and was so rude I hung up. Called right back - guy with a veyr thick Indian accent ansered the call and when I told him I suspected they were a scam and not HD he said "then why don't you hang up." I did. Buyer beware.

It's a small space but they use it well; there are knickknacks and cool antique pieces everywhere you look, and the owners are knowledgeable about what they sell and about the history of the town. This shop differs from other local antique shops in that it sells more small pieces and collectibles, rather than large pieces of expensive furniture and framed paintings. It's a much cozier and more welcoming feel than the showroom-style places nearby where you're scared to touch anything with a price tag on it. I collect vintage compacts and cosmetics and Un-Common Antiques has saved me a couple trips to Concord, as I can find the pieces I'm looking for here without the ridiculous markups and the long drive.
