You can't seem to buy anything in this place, no matter how hard you try! I've visited countless times, and almost always find something I like. However, when I have asked the sales person how much an item costs, on numerous occasions they have stated that the owner is away and they cannot reach him. They have no authority to name a price, and so, they take your name and number and say they will call you back. Except, they either 1) never call you, 2) call you and say they are still determining the price or 3) say the item is no longer for sale. This place is FULL of items not marked with prices

I have been buying here for 25 years. Simply the best period furniture in Eastern Ontario. The owners have been in the business for over 50 years. Unmatched selection in paint and refinished. You can buy with confidence here.

They seem to specialize in furniture; not my cup of tea. The entire time we were there the sole staffer was on the phone. As a result, our presence was not acknowledged. A little lacking in the aspects of customer service; hence, the 3 star rating.

Clay Benson has been a leading dealer in Early Canadian Antiques for decades. He has built a reputation on being honest and providing the very best vale no matter what your level of purchasing. I have been a customer for over 25 years and he has helped me build a noteworthy collection.
