The Cedar Chest Consignments — Local services in Old Saybrook

It is OK, this area has a plethora of antique shops and stores. All are the same and all probably barter over used items, and bid on estate auctions, storage, etc. It's always a toss up on product because it rotates, most if not all of the products are over priced items labeled as antiques but most are just used consumer commodities that might be an antique, or hold future value, but make sure you do your research and haggle on price, if you can.

The only person that was very nice I didn’t know his name but he said he was captain America. He was sweet as pie otherwise the other people they...

You have Got to Shop here!! I have been a shopper at the Cedar Chest for years - LOVE this place and the amazing finds here are so cool. This is not a quick visit store as you need time to look in all the nooks and crannies for that special item. The pricing is fantastic - I love getting a bargain and this place always has great price on all my favorite brands.

I love to flip furniture products and the Cedar Chest always has something for me to turn into a cool item in my house. The staff is always helpful and pleasant. If you love consignment and resale shopping then this is the place to go for sure - bring a friend and make a day of it - you...
