Polly's Antique, Boutique, and More — Local services in Longview

I am without internet for a short time so I decided to get some DVDs and Blu-Rays to watch. The place had a great selection, and from what I could tell all the other interesting odds and ends at good prices you'd expect to find at a consignment type place like it is there. However as it is currently I can simply never go back. Unfortunately I have very strong sensitivities to artificial scents. Not only did they have a plug in or some other device running, they must have had several of them on the highest setting to produce the overwhelming, obnoxious amount of smell that was present in that large space. I had to go home immediately after being in the store for only about 15-20 minutes and shower off to get my skin to stop itching and my sinuses to start to clear out. I couldn't even watch the movies I had bought right away and had to wash them in the sink because they smelled so strongly. It's so strong in the building I am honestly concerned for the people working there because in trying to understand my own issues I have been doing research and I have found it is starting to be seen that long term exposure to high amounts of those chemicals can cause respiratory issues as well as reproductive and other hormonal problems. I guess to a certain degree I take for granted what I have learned being trained in both the food service industry as well as the medical field and assume being conscious of exposing people to protentional allergens is just anything a responsible business owner would do to be able to accommodate as large of a customer base as possible. i really hope the people at this otherwise great establishment consider taking the steps to make the place as scent neutral as possible for the good...

The owner is an amazing stand up guy!! Absolutely wonderful people! I have always loved coming in here. Lots of great deals and I always seem to find what I’m looking for. So many different booths and so much stuff. I ran into an issue and the owner went above and beyond to fix my problem. The problem was 100% on my end and NOT the stores and yet the owner was sympathetic and apologetic to my situation. I have a fused wrist and I was offered help to take my huge haul out to the truck even! I found a huge taxidermy alligator head which I had just happened to have in my eBay cart.. what are the chances! People love leaving reviews when things go bad but I believe they should be left when things go good as well. I will always shop here and definitely recommend...

Really fun antique shop with so much to offer! The atmosphere is great, staff is helpful and friendly. I also appreciate the precautions they take when it comes to shop lifters. I did some shopping around town and I had a bag with me, the lady kindly asked for it to hold up front while wandered the aisles. In the back of the antique shop is a retro game store set up with free sodas and waters, you can also sit and play a variety of consoles. Theres something here...
