I CANT. This place is my happy place. Really cool old theatre converted into an antique store. Have bought some of my most prized possessions here. I just walk around this shop to cheer myself up
Been here many times. Very high variety of high quality items to choose from (ceramics and glassware, books, toys, clothing, chandelier etc.). The shop being set in an old theatre really adds to the vibe. The layout is also good, not too cluttered and kept very clean. The pricing varies depending on the seller. The customer service here is top tier best in Brissy, the staffs are very friendly and helps you with a positive attitude (shout out to Lee) This store also does monthly appraisal for your own item ever first Sunday of the month for a donation of $1 to the RSPCA per item which is really neat.
We stopped in at 12:30 on a Monday in the week between Christmas and New Years. It was busy, but not overwhelming so. There was an enormous range of carefully curated items in superb condition - no junky items. There was any type of collectible that you can imagine - painting, toys, homewares, art - as well as vintage clothing of all kinds. It was carefully laid out into little rooms, with me having a sense of expectation as I entered each new realm. The staff were super helpful and the prices much lower than I was expecting. The venue itself has a tangible sense of history, having served as a picture theatre, live theatre venue and even a basketball court! With a myriad of other shops, coffee shops and cafes nearby, this can easily be a deep and extensive day of mischief.

I genuinely loved browsing through this shop.😍 I lost track of time (and went back in time😊) until the shop staff had to call closing. The prices are varied ( Good and Bad), so don't be put off by the niche suburb where the beautiful building is located. I found the staff to be unobtrusive and pleasant and this is what that allows for a pleasant and comfortable shopping experience. I promise to return to actually purchase something, given more time.😊
