This came up on Yelp during my search for antique stores in Hickory. This is NOT an antique store…read morebut it's a pretty cool furniture store with what seemed to be reasonable prices.

A very nice consignment store, well laid out, up and downstairs. Lots of stuff, although all we…read morewanted to see were chairs. Help was available and they were very helpful. We saw one chair we liked. It would fit our needs, was the acceptable color, material and size...a la my wife's seeking standards. Did we buy it? Of course not. Hickory is loaded with furniture outlets, so off we went a exploring. A couple of more locations and them the big kaboom: the Hickory Furniture Mart. Another review coming on this enormous, four level block-filling edifice containing just about any manufacturer and style of furniture one could imagine. We did not find anything that was better than the one at The Hickory Tree, so after some coffee and lunch at the Olde Hickory Station (see that review), we returned to the Hickory Tree. Since this was a consignment store, all items had a sales price tag with the prices listed over time. What I mean is that a price of $175 was scheduled to cost $150 on the first of the next month, then it would cost $135 the next month, and so on. This being the middle of the month, and not wanting to risk the desire chair being sold while we waited, we bought it...right then. They accepted credit cards. With the help of a young man we loaded this chair into our SUV and were off for home. An excellent, but exhausting furniture shopping experience that I survived. Before you blow your mind out looking for furniture all over, start here at the Hickory Tree. Prices reasonable and mark-downs abound. And nice people.

This consignment shop has nice, gently used furniture, as well as other decor items (art, faux…read moreplants, even a full set of dishes -- including butter dish, creamers, etc.) I really like the price tags. They let you know when the item came in, and the pricing structure, so as items age, the price comes down. I visited another consignment store recently, and they were very mysterious about wether-or-not the price would ever adjust. This model of business is very good. If you don't like a price, if nobody else buys it, you can hold out for a better price. But honestly, they price so well, I bought an item that had just come in earlier that day. I had no reason to wait. :-)

This antique store has anything and everything you could possibly be looking for all in one place…read more I've been to this store numerous times and have absolutely loved it until today. I arrived around 3:30, knowing they close at 5:00. However, by 4:35, the employees were practically shoving customers out the door. Each employee told us a different amount of time left before closing despite still having plenty of time to spare before 5:00. At 4:40, the lights in the second building were being shut off, and by 4:50, the open sign was off. This may be a controversial opinion, but I feel that if your sign says you're open until 5:00, you should be fully operational until that time. I was extremely disappointed with the staff today, and it was a very odd and uncomfortable experience.

The Antique Emporium is as Brandon F. explains - vendor booths with estate sales. Old tools. Classic glassware. Ancient tableware. LPs and singles. Books, toys, vases and just anything you can think of that's old. Prices are on the items. Maybe there's some room for negotiation. [Review 15920 overall - 3135 in North Carolina - 1425 of 2021.]

A fun little vintage/antiques shop tucked back off the street, Those Were the Days is a great place…read moreto wile away an hour if you are a lover of the old or the quirky. It is set up like a typical antiques mall with items provided by different vendors, so you'll see some items priced higher than others based on who the vendor is, but I found the prices overall to be good. I stocked up on vintage glass decanters that were priced well below what I would normally see at similar stores in other cities, which was surprising given that resort town prices are often inflated. We met a vendor as we browsed, a friendly older gentlemen who asked about the items we were inspecting and told us where he sources most of his wares, and the lady who checked us out was also helpful and kind. Lots of records and toys, but you'll also find all the variety of items you expect in an antiques market. Finding the set of chicken decanters and the world's largest witch's broom were worth the trip even if I hadn't scored so many of the decanters I was searching for that day. We will definitely make this store part of our itinerary every time we return to Sugar Mountain.

The…read morething I enjoy most about this antique store, aside from its aged ambience, is that it always has a wide variety of unique, authentic, and quality items. You can find pretty good deals on some items. For these reasons, whether you are a serious antiqu-er or just looking for casual exploration of an interesting new place, I'd say that Vintage Memories has something for you! P.S. The owner is friendly, conversational, and knowledgeable about the antiques. I bought a Royal 1941 typewriter from this store last year, and he gave me good recommendations on what is required to refurbish it.

She has a great variety of items from clothing to shoes to home decor. Her prices are GREAT! I got a pair of American Eagle jeans for $12. She is super friendly and very helpful and when you walk in she has a smile on her face. Since she does consignments I asked her about consigning my handmade goods with her and she was really excited about the idea. I haven't been to a thrift or consignment store that I have loved so much in YEARS!
