Willow's Antiques — Local services in Anderson

I had shopped in here several times so I decided to get a small booth and try it as a vendor here. A bookshelf and two glass shelves for some of the more valuable collectors glassware. My rent was 40.00 a month. I moved into the space in October and filled every inch. I placed 2 very expensive Fenton family glass baskets in my shelves. When I came back to check on my booth, I noticed they were gone. So I waited and looked at the sales sheet and they weren't listed. When I tried to find out what happened to them I was dodged and no phone call back for over 3 weeks! Then the owner told me that booth rent doesn't cover theft of my items and she can't be responsible for every little thing that might be stolen. She lied and said there were cameras in the main areas of the store that help catch theives. But I find out later from the other guy that works there, there are no camers at all and he has had over 5,000.00 worth of stuff stolen from him at that store. So I immediately moved out. When I went back to get the check for the sales I had actually made for the month of November, they were charging me for another months rent that I wasn't even in there. Just so they could eat up my check and didn't have to pay me. They still owe me $7.65 that I'll probably NEVER get. I'll never spend another dime here. And I tell everyone I know that buys and sells antiques how she does business. I'm pretty sure she is either stealing items herself or another dealer in her store is walking out with these items. It's pretty hard to steal a large glass basket the size of an Easter basket if anyone is doing their job...let alone 2 of them. If you're thinking of going here, don't. Because you support this behavior. Plus she has two big growling dogs that act like they're going to eat your leg off while you're walking around. And they will jump on you, they scratched the crap out of my daughters leg just walking in the door one...

gah, I love this place. its divided into a bunch of different sections, each a "lot" of sorts owned by separate antique sellers, and each has their own individual "niche", so to say - which makes for a very wide variety of ecclesiastes and range of antique items to check out. if you're into antiques/vintage stuff, whether its antique dolls, glassware, old brand-name memorabilia from coke or old cartoon characters, antique furniture or jewelry, ((the list literally goes on for days)), you're almost guaranteed to find something that will strike your fancy at willows. also noteworthy, is the fact that the place, from the outside at least, appears to be somewhat small - but DO NOT let that fool you, as you will quickly find yourself nearly lost in a maze of room after room of unique and interesting items that are full of history and personality. plus the staff is always very friendly and attentive... I highly reccomend this easily overlooked shop, its definitely worth the stop whenever given the opportunity to do so. OH and did I mention these folks do layaway on items you may want, but can't afford all at once at ((if my memory serves me correctly)) a mere 20$ down to put whatever it is on hold for you? such a...

My clients and I purchased a piece of furniture here and had them deliver it for a fee. When they arrived to the house, the customers and I were there waiting. When I opened the door, their dog came running in on their brand new wood floors, not to mention my clients having two cats and a dog themselves. They never apologized, my clients were never asked, so I had to ask them to PLEASE take their dog to their truck. My clients cats and dog were traumatized enough being in a brand new home, then that happened. Then to top that off, they forgot the glass shelves to the curio and asked if my clients could come and pick them up. It wasn't my clients responsibility to go and pick them up, nor was it their fault the shelves were left behind, especially since they paid for delivery. My clients were still moving in at the time. They delivered the shelves, but weren't happy they...
