Some thoughts re: very negative review left 2-weeks ago. Manzanita Ridge is a unique store serving a niche’. They are very well priced for outstanding merchandise. They are high volume, very busy (open 4-days week). I have been shopping these guys since 1st visiting Silver City in Oct. 2017 - been in their store easily 15-20 times.

But the guys who work there just threw it in the bed if their truck and took the five minutes to deliver it to us! So nice! I don’t think this is a service they offer, so don’t expect it, but since we were so close it was really nice of them. They didn’t need to do that, but we really...
Read moreParting with your heirlooms is hard. Everything has a memory attached; it's all valuable beyond price. So when I realized that some of what I'd brought with me when I relocated here just had no place in my new little house, the question came up of what to do with it all. Asking around, friends and some businesses all pointed me to Manzanita Ridge. After talking with Dave about my treasures, I sold him the lot: chinaware, glassware, silverware. He offered a fair price for the pieces, and even came to my house to pack it up. The pieces that had been in my family for many years will now have new homes, hopefully to be used and appreciated for...
