Red Queen's Attic — Local services in Rosenberg

Red Queen is the largest antique store in Rosenberg, Texas. They have almost anything that you have a mind to collect. They dedicate a portion of this store to an area known as Hawthorne's Clocks. Hawthorne's Clocks is a part of Red Queen's Attic. The name is stenciled on the window and a metal sign hangs down from the building as you walk down the sidewalk.

You are reading the best advice that you will ever get for free. Do yourself the biggest favor and don't buy or have your clock repaired in the area know as Hawthorne's Clocks.

We previously purchased an antique German Grandmother Clock from Dan Hawthorne. After buying our clock it didn't work. We have taken it back repeatedly for subsequent repairs... still not running. He has talked to me over the phone several times; when we called him, he suggested that I pull out the clock works and he could teach me how to repair my clock over the phone. (As if I am a clock master.) Mr. Hawthorne will not stand behind the clocks he sells. His warranty is worthless. Your clock will be in his shop and the warranty time just ticks away. When the warranty time expires you are SOL. He apparently only comes in for a 1/2 Saturdays on occasions. Yesterday, after 3 months of having our clock in his shop for repair again, we went and picked up our clock. He told us he never even looked at our clock in 3 months; keep in mind this clock was purchased from him. What do you think that he would do with your clock if you hadn't purchased it from him? When we would call to check on the clock status, he wouldn't even return our calls. ( We would call on the date that he asked us to call for a status update; seems like he should have been calling us.) We will now have to spend $300 -$500 at another clock shop to have it repaired. I repeat, buyer beware and don't do business here. My wife was in tears over this business matter; I had purchased this clock for her Mother's Day; the cost came to over $1,500.

Our experience was that you could look at one of his clocks for sale and when you noticed something is wrong, he would say, "Oh, that is just a tweak and can be fixed in an hour". You can go back in to see the same clock in another two months and the same "tweak" still needs to be done. Why would a clock owner have a clock in their shop knowing full well that it is not ready to sell and go out of the shop.

One of the owners discussed this situation with us and indicated that Mr. Hawthorne has taken a job with Amazon and now doesn't have time to work on clocks. I told the owner that Mr. Hawthorne should never be allowed to treat a customer like this again. Hopefully you understand, don't take...

Been going to Red Queen's Attic for years, literally in there 15 times a year or more. I've always tolerated Jeff's hot and cold bi-polar ways but yesterday he took it too far. I'd gone over for a quick run through, looking for nothing in particular. 2 items that intrigued me were Christmas items, one downstairs, one upstairs. I gave him the untagged ornament and he was friendly enough and said he would get me a price half the ornaments in the bowl were not priced. The priced ornamenta were between $6 & $12. So I make my way upstairs, in the large room I find a gumball machine with a Christmas scene inside the globe....no tag. I walk it downstairs to find Jeff for a price and he gave me "a look" and said he knows it was priced because he took it up there yesterday...walks away in a "huff", rather angry manner. He gave me the feeling that he had just accused me of taking the price off. I did NOT! I literally frequent the place quite often and he knows me.....why would I do that. At the register he gave me the price of the gumball machine. Honestly...I wouldn't have bought it for any price at this point. I often go to Downtown Rosenberg for a couple hours when I need a break **I live 5 miles away. I'm not sure when/if I'll return to Red Queen's Attic and I certainly will never recommend the shop to another person which I've done so many times in the past Thrifting/Antiquing is a "break" for me....something I love doing,. On this day, Jeff took...
