Heritage Square Antique Mall — Attraction in Columbus

I visit antique malls and shops very regularly. I live in California and decided to check this place out for the first time with my grandma while home for the holidays. While I did find a nice set of old caster wheels for a decent price, I was pretty flabbergasted by prices on everything else. Most of the dealers have Pre-EBay prices. Several times I picked up what should have been a $5-$6 item were $18-20. Some of the booths have a nice assortment of items, but there are also booths that are literally filled with boxes of junk. I really wish the owners would police cleanliness a little better with their booth renters. Additionally this place is DARK. There are older sodium bulb lamps that buzz placed every ten feet or so (single bulb) so definitely bring a flashlight or miner’s headlamp if you want to look in the darker booths. Several times I found myself grabbing items and taking them to lighter booths to see them under lights in booths where sellers added additional lighting. I’m 38 and have fine eyesight! The cashier at the front wasn’t very pleasant but these days, whatever, I guess. The restrooms were very clean but the ladies handicap rest room was out of order. My grandma is in a wheelchair and it was very difficult to help her into the regular stall. I would come back if they lightened/cleaned...

Buyers beware! The only reason they got one star is because i couldn't give them zero! These people treat regular customers like they are thieves and dihonest people. I was stopped (after making a purchase at that!) and told not to come back into this store and i was banned. When I enquired why they would say this, they accuses me of stealing a pocket watch that went missing a week or more ago! I have never been a thief and am an upstanding citizen of my community. When i asked them to show me proof all they could produce was a profile picture of my face that they took off of their camera system! (If they put my picture on their "shoplifting hall of fame" i will have a defamation case waiting for them! I have never been treated so poorly in ANY place of business, EVER! Over the years i have spent a lot of money in this establishment albeit not in one transaction...maybe thats where i went wrong. Maybe i am considered a thief because i only buy smalls that don't have a high price tag, so in their minds, I must be a thief! Unless you enjoy being treated like a thief, I would steer clear of this so called "Antique Consignment Mall" and spend your money where you and your money are appreciated! Sincerely, an...

First of all, this is a wonderful place. Wonderful. Spacious pods of all kinds of history, well cared for. I'd like to give a 5+. But the lighting in this store was so poor and the entire premises was so dark, that I could barely see stuff. I skipped some of the pods that were just hopelessly dark. I was visiting Columbus this weekend, and maybe the place had an electrical outage or something. Some of the vendors used motion sensor lighting, which almost confirms that the poor lighting was probably not just a fluke. Its just the large show room floor with this problem. I was there for maybe 3 hours and left with eye strain and headache. You've got great displays and I love the stories that some of the vendors try to convey with how they decorate their pods. HOWEVER, if the place is so dark that you have to strain to see, that might be saving you on electricity costs, but people cannot buy what they cannot see. Put some reasonable overhead lights on the ceilings to brighten up the place so that its not a strain to see your...
