The owner of this store needs to be reported for his discriminatory practices and outright hostile behavior, in this case, constituting parental harassment. From the moment I walked in the store I was rudely addressed by the owner and his 2 lackeys: "did you NOT see the sign in the door?!" (Which states strollers won't fit in the aisles.) Yes, I replied neutrally, this stroller folds up, let me just go over there and fold it. They continue, "No! You can't enter the store! And you're blocking other people!" I'm trying to move out of the way. You've stopped me. (I move to a place where there's space.) Please, calm. "Don't talk to us like we're dogs...I want you out of my store." I would call his behavior insane, but that's letting him off too easy. It is a violation of human rights to assail a parent this way for no rational reason, never mind that I'm also standing there pregnant. Unacceptable.

Absolutely the rudest people I have ever come across. Stay clear of this business at all costs!

Rude, creepy, and weird. Came in at 4:30 on a Sunday, shortly after calling to confirm the store's closing time, which was 6:00 pm according to the person on the phone. I'm there not 5 minutes when one of the employees starts yelling, "CLOSING! WE'RE CLOSING! EVERYONE OUT!" like a bouncer herding drunks at last call. Given that it was still over an hour before close *and* I had paid for an Uber out there, I tried to do a quick speed tour through the rest of the store before getting booted out. But Yelling Guy wasn't having it. He followed me around from floor to floor (which, by the way, someone needs to tell him is super creepy to do when you're a man and your customer is a woman shopping alone in what's essentially a big spooky warehouse). Finally, I turned around and nicely explained the situation to Yelling Guy and asked if I could shop for 15 minutes more, which would *still* put me a full half hour before close. He said yes, as long as I stayed on the first floor. I start browsing the first floor. Not 2 minutes later, Yelling Guy begins turning off the lights on the first floor. I give up and reconfirm the opening hours on my way out with a different guy at the register. He gave a halfhearted little apology and mumbled something about needing to "move items" as being the reason they were closing so early but I totally got the vibe he thought I was the crazy one. That's cool. I think the pattern of reviews here speaks for itself. As far as the store, the inventory is lovely and vast, though $1200 seems to be the default price for everything from IKEA end tables circa 2010 to legit vintage pieces available for 1/2 to 1/3 less if you know where to go. Luckily, I do.

Honestly, I never write reviews, but the salesman was so awful I felt I needed to. The store itself is fine -- some nice things. However, the salesman was the rudest person I have ever met. Incredibly pretentious and honestly a gross person. He literally has evil inside of him and it is uncomfortable even being in his presence. I will never return even though there was some art I really wanted to purchase. No thanks.

Let me toss in my review for good measure - as if they need another 1 star review. Went in today looking to fully outfit my apartment with MCM pieces since I just moved cross country. It was a lot of fun walking through their numerous floors, but yes its tight and everything is dusty. If you plan on going take an allergy pill beforehand. After making a list of about 6 pieces (most of them not priced) we approached the salesperson to ask about prices, he was eating and was VERY unhappy we were bothering him. Now, I would blame it on him not liking to stop his snacking, but he ignored us when we walked in so I wasn't shocked. After asking him the condition of a large vinyl sectional and whether the vinyl would rebound after they had STACKED MULTIPLE CHAIRS ON TOP OF THE COUCH and left the vinyl full of marks he shrugged his shoulders and said "Who knows, but probably not". I said that was a bummer to hear and he pretentiously asks "You're not planning on reupholstering???". Uh actually no, considering its a 10ft x 10ft sectional that would cost thousands of dollars to reupholster, easily more than the couch is worth. Do not waste your time. Based on the reviews, I'm fully convinced all the furniture does not ACTUALLY belong to them and it has been entrusted to them by naive people who don't know their furniture is sitting in a dusty and moldy warehouse in Brooklyn getting damaged by them cramming everything on top of another. I'm glad I read the reviews before I went back and purchased. Just... don't.

15 years ago I bought an amazing treasure trove of danish modern stuff at Horseman when they were closing their Manhattan location.Occasionally I return to the Atlantic Avenue location to see if I can repeat my luck. The prices seem really high for what it is. But I have to say it can be a blast walking through the four stories of piles of antiques of all sorts.

I don't make enough to really try and buy something here. But damn is it fun to explore over 5 floors or mid-century furniture, like the set designers of Mad Men dropped off all the stuff that almost made the cut.
