Courtyard Antiques & Home Decor — Local services in Olympia

This place as a whole looks awesome. I’m am bummed however with my experience. I collect stained glass houses and was excited to add a gingerbread house I found on offerup advertised by Rebel Girl Vintage. There was no clear photos or anything wrong mentioned in description (I should have made sure) so I drove 40 min to pick up. I got there, paid and put it in a wrapped up blanket and drove home. When I got home I quickly noticed the awning/stair part has been bent up and partially broken off in the past and had a shotty repair job. I also noticed there was a crack in one of the panels. I will try to fix myself but as seller of glass myself I do feel this should have been noticed and stated on the add. I probably would have waited on buying it and saved my time until I found one in collector condition. I definitely should have inspected it myself before leaving and that was a lesson learned on my part. Seller did apologize and did offer a refund but it had to be returned that day. i was already back home and by that point I wasn’t ready to spend 2 more of my time...

We had fun looking around but didn’t find what we were looking for... However when we left we were followed out of the store and accused of stealing. She claimed “we have cameras” and demanded to see inside my friends bag, when we said “show us the camera footage” she of course didn’t/couldn’t because we didn’t steal anything. Absolutely blatant profiling. I will never be giving them my business. edit after looking through older reviews I see they have done this to other people before… let’s see if they pretend it wasn’t...

This store is great: huge selection, real quality antiques, and relatively easy to browse. The only reason I can't 5 star is every time I visit I find great things for not so great prices. Antiques that in other antique stores would be half if not a third the price. I've been buying collecting and selling antiques myself for over 15 years and can guarantee if this store lowered their prices they'd have trouble keeping things in stock because of how nice...
