I have never had such a bad experience at an antique store. We wanted to purchase an area rug, which was rolled up under a table but it wasn’t priced, the owner of the store wouldn’t negotiate (which we understood). We left our cell number and explained we’re only in the area for the weekend. He said he’d call us after speaking with the owner of the rug. He never called so we went back the next day only to find he spoke with the owner of the rug and never got a price! He called him again and this time made contact in front of us. The rug owner couldn’t remember the price, and he wouldn’t negotiate either. While they were on the phone he gave me a list of his inventory with all items on it, marked up greatly, and asked me to look for the list price of the rug. When I thought I found it he said he didn’t think it was it. Needless to say, he lost a sale and we missed out on a rug we really liked. Very bad business.

Went in last week. He does have beautiful furniture and items. However, as mentioned in another review, the effect is spoiled since he is unbelievably rude and insulting. Upon learning that we weren't buying anything that day he insulted my wife and I not once, but twice. No need for it.

Extremely poor customer service. I went today with my clients, we love antiquing and each of us collect different things. The building is a very old barn and the floor is like walking on a wave. I asked my client if she noticed the dips in the floor she said yes, I giggled and said it made me feel a little sea sick. Out of no where from behind us, one of the workers or maybe owner whirls out and very grufly and loudly says if your going to be sick you better leave! He startled us and we where so uncomfortable we immediately left. Now I understand not wanting somone to be sick in your store, I would never ever do that. If he had politely said if your going to be ill please don't do it in the store, and not run up on us like a wild beast I would not be writing this review. I just couldn't believe how uncomfortable he made us over a silly comment. Maybe he saw us as not having much money to spend by profiling us. But that doesn't make it ok to be rude.

Excellent shop with exquisite antiques. The items sold are excellent true antiques. Raymond has extensive knowledge which he is glad to share. I always visit this shop when in the area.

The finest antique store in Maine. Just an old fashion antique dealer mall with only high quality goods NO crafts or modern reproductions. Well worth the stop.

If you're looking for real antiques, this is certainly a wonderful place. So sad a place gets a bad review for something not related to the quality of the product.
