Antiques in Orlando, FL

“It’s really hard to compare my IKEA furniture to the real-wood furniture from Warehaus. Not only is this forever-quality, artisanal furniture but the owner is an absolute gem. We’ve gotten 2 pieces over a year from him and he even offered to make additional changes to best suit our needs. We cannot fathom choosing anyone else over Warehaus for quality furniture and service.”

“What a nice find. My realtor told me about this place. They are always bringing in new goods and you’re almost certainly guaranteed to find something cool when you visit. I picked up a few things for my new home. The gentleman that runs the place is very kind and helpful.”

“This little shop is such a gem!! Very kind gentleman working the store. I love stories of items I purchase which the gentleman provided. Will be back thank you!!”

“We very much enjoyed visiting the shop & meeting the two lovely ladies who own the shop.Several rooms are filled with eye-catching treats for home and garden. Some items are Antique. Some are very old.The number of Antique Foo Dog pairs is astounding.Artwork fills the walls and chandeliers fill the ceiling.Really this is a must see shop.”

“I've been attending auctions in the Orlando area for over 40-years now and this auction definitely has the best inventory selection around. They only accept the nicer end of stuff and always have a large quanity of 'Lowes' return items (mostly new returns) including power tools, doors and windows, ladders, gas tools, and many other Lowes brand things. Some are sold with 'guarantees' and those will usually have a large letter 'G' on them, and some are sold 'As Is'. The ones that are marked Guaranteed usually mean they will guarantee it works for the first 48-hours after you buy it so my suggestion is to test it quickly after you buy it. If you buy it 'As Is' is means just that. It may work, it may not! No guarantee. The owner Jason moves the stuff through very quickly and doesn't play around. He does tend to get a little 'high strung' sometimes but I guess if I were responsible for all the stuff he's selling, and also having to cut checks to the various consignors after the sale and make sure their stuff doesn't get broken in between I'd be a little 'high strung' to. My suggestion..., just stay out of his way before and especially 'during' the auction when he's trying to keep things moving. And make sure you don't touch anything in the areas that say 'don't touch'. You can always go on Friday and touch all you want, just not on auction day if it says not to. Otherwise you'll quickly get to meet him, and without an invitation!! :) If you avoid those two pitfalls you'll likely have a good time and probably even bring something home with you. A few more pointers.... The auctioneer is a guy name Jeff who has been 'calling' local auctions for years and is among the best there is. He's friendly and sometimes makes everyone crack up with his false "LOOK OUT!!" that he screams at his ring men right in the middle of selling an item, pointing over their head as he screams suggesting something is about to fall on their heads, as they all quickly duck for cover. Funny as sh-- when that happens!! And he knows perfectly how to 'set it in' to start the bidding on just about any item he's selling. In short, he's the perfect balance to keep everyone having a good time and spending money and at the same time doing the best possible for the consignors of each item being sold. Unfortunately, however there is the occasional 'kick back' where the bidding on an item is not brining what is wanted and it's 'kicked back' by Jason by use of a ghost bidder number. These numbers vary (I know most of them) but the most common number used at this auction is bidder #129. There are a few others as well but this number is the most frequently used here. It's not hard to pick up on them if you just watch and observe. And to be fair this occurs at many/most auction houses, even though they usually claim to be "absolute". If you are a regular auction attendee you'll know what I mean. And lastly, I've had a couple of negative experiences here buying Pokemon cards for my teenage son. So without going into detail my suggestion is to stay away from those, if that is something you're ever interested in. I'll leave it at that.. . Overall, I would give this auction a '4' out of '5' due to the way the auction is conducted, the quality of stuff they sell, and of course by the professionalism of all the staff, including the auctioneer, the ring staff, and the office staff. Even Jason who's actually a nice guy, just gets a little tense sometimes when the auction starts! If you haven't been there, check it out. You'll likely have fun. By the way, they post photos of their items every Wednesday evening on their web site. Very convenient to preview in advance of Saturday. Another plus!! From a longtime auction customer, good luck and have fun! D. Warren”

“Saw four beautiful drop leaf tables and there were many other very nice antique furniture items there. If you appreciate this kind of thing, it is definitely worth a visit!”

“Great place with plenty of things to choose from. This place is for people who really are looking for treasures and don't mind the adventure. Great staff, reasonable prices, friendly owner. If you're looking for the best antique store in Orlando, or the best thrift store in Orlando; this may be it. Overall just a really great and unique Central Florida antique store. Highly recommend.”

“Talk about unique! I felt like I was in my comfort zone. They have a little bit of everything and everything you did not know you needed. The set up of the store and decorations are spot on in my book. You feel like you have been transported to a different place.”
