Had my eyes on fine china for the last 3 months. Finally went to buy it, I named my own price for what I thought was a 57 piece set she would nlt let me negotiate price on the 26 piece set that it was. Mind you they packed in 8 broken plates. Highly disappointed.

So... Much... Stuff... This place is so incredibly jam packed with stuff. In some places it's tough to even see what's available in the massive amount of stuff. It's just rows and piles of things. If you can't find what you are looking for here, then it's probably buried under something here. The staff/owners were friendly. The public restroom, is on the 2nd floor and could probably use some cleaning up, removing a lot of the excess items inside. There's ample parking on the side of the building. Semi wheelchair accessible, however due to the narrow aisles in the store, it's not easily accessible. You do have to turn sideways and shuffle through a good portion of the 1st floor aisles. Pricing is very hit or miss. There are a lot of great items, but some of their conditions are a tad rough but the prices are high. Or there are items which have clearly been in their place for years and haven't moved, probably because they are barely accessible, or pricing is not prime for moving the items. But I will end it with this. If you are looking for some very nice unique items, this place definitely has a lot of that. There's so much here to look at, you could probably spend all day. Would love to see the place with easier to navigate aisles, cleaned up, and maybe some sales to encourage shoppers.

Good variety, mostly marked up but like most places are willing to negotiate within reason. Floor staff was friendly and welcoming, owner was rude and unprofessional. She appeared off put that we made a good deal with one of the vendors she clearly didn't agree with. Upon check out she tossed my receipt at me on her desk like she just wrote me my final paycheck and wanted me out. She went back to what she was doing and didn't offer to bag up any of my 5 items I purchased and just left them awkwardly sitting on her desk until I said something. She spoke very rapidly and arrogantly. Would recommend speaking with floor staff over Lana if going to ADC to try and make a transaction.

I think I love this place more than life itself! It is truly a treasure chest that I can get lost in for hours - so many beautiful things, both large and small for the new or seasoned collector. And Lana is not only a trip! But she is also very kind and knowledgeable. Scott is a treat as well! SO GLAD I FINALLY STEPPED IN HERE!!! Love, love, LOVE!!!
