We worked with the owner to sell off a large estate. He did a fantastic job helping us through the process and finding buyers for a wide range of items. Friendly and great communication throughout. I highly recommend the Antiques Deport!

Was out looking at different antique stores and stopped by here. Very organized with a varied number of items at reasonable prices. We had a great time browsing, and although we didn't pick anything up this time around, we will be sites to return in the future to see what is new. Since we're all know, inventories change frequently and to find that "one item" you have to be diligent in shopping.

Love this hidden gem! We recently moved and needed new furniture and The Antiques Depot had a great selection. Fun accessories, mirrors, pottery, end tables, really unique pieces. I don't like new furniture stores because the quality is pretty bad, so vintage and antique is definitely a fun way to go! Plus we got great deals compared to new furniture prices. I purchased a set of 4 wicker chairs for our sun room, a coffee table and a bar cart for a such a great price. I'll certainly be back!
