Tables To Teapots — Attraction in Acton

The stuff they sell is good and reasonably priced. Their treatment of me and other customers on New Year's Eve changed my opinion, unfortunately. Only a day before, they clearly posted on Facebook that they'd be open until 4:00 on 1/31. I showed up at the same time as many customers at 3:00, only to encounter a locked door and no update on the door. We stood in the cold drizzle and could clearly see other customers and at least 1 employee. The other locked- out customers were equally confused. It was several minutes before someone came out and let a couple of us in, but I felt too unwelcome to browse. The door was locked as I tried to exit. What made me more mad was that I posted publicly on Facebook to warn others that they closed an hour early, and they immediately deleted my comment at 3:00. When I asked why, they said I "didn't understand the entire story" even though my posting was a simple factual statement.

Said secretaries "don't sell." It slipped out during the discussion that they had a large furniture shipment coming in later in the week and, if they took this item, they wouldn't have room. Really? Bottom line is they don't honor their appointments if they have something they deem "better" coming along. They might have things that interest customers (thus the reviews) but, as a...

Consignment items from the Boston area make Tables to Teapots a museum for the latter half of the 20th century. Furniture ranging from classic to mid-century modern, film cameras, a wide selection of vinyl albums, and wonderful audio gear all caught my eye. As for audio, on the day I visited, they were practically a museum for Henry Kloss's career. I saw AR, KLH, and Cambridge Soundworks classics, as well as glorious examples from other manufacturers like B&O, Philips, Carver, Ohm, and others. I look forward to...
