“This beautiful shop and its wonderful owner deserve every success. Im from England and visited the shop to see if Allie was interested in any antiques from my lates uncles house whos house I was clearing nearby. As much as I loved the items, I couldnt take them back to England. Allie was wonderful and said she would sell them in the shop and keep in touch with me, true to her word she has indeed been in touch with details of the items sold and payment.
Allie is not only an expert in her field but also a warm, honest and kind person. Her shop is beautifully kept with facinating items and a pleasure to visit.
I wish I lived nearby and could visit regulary as you never know what beautiful items will be in her shop next.”
“My husband and I aren't just so very pleased, but amazed at the level of craftmanship(or womanship :-)) with Janet's work. Our bedroom bench settee is nothing short of fabulous. I often buy Janet's decorative pillows also, which there is no comparison to what you may purchase and pay on the market for this level of quality in a simple pillow. I only wish we had found her sooner. She has our business for life. Thank you so much Janet!”
“The staff are friendly and welcoming, and the store feels like the kind of place where you can spend an hour happily browsing. If you love thrift shopping and good deals, this spot is a must-visit.”
“Absolutely love Pot of Gold! Tom, the owner, is super nice and always so accommodating. The store has an amazing selection, tons of great stuff for collectors and fans alike. It’s my go-to spot for all things Pokémon, and I recently found my dream card here—Ancient Mew! Highly recommend stopping by if you’re into trading cards or just want a welcoming place to browse.”
“I absolutely adore this antique shop! It’s on the pricier side but they have sales often and the items are worth it. This is the most beautifully curated selection of high quality items I’ve seen in the Bay Area. The owners and workers are all so delightful and helpful.”
“Finally was able to check this place out since it's been under new ownership. Not disappointed! The owner is really sweet! So much stuff to look at! I immediately found a handful of items but ran out of time to really look around the way I wanted to. I left a few things behind, I wish I had grabbed, so I will be returning. I hope they're still there! Save that trip to Napa or Concord for those antique/vintage finds. Check this place out. Hours are not daily so double check those.”

“I had a really great time browsing around the store today, it was my first time in. A variety of nice antiques and I found a few things that were reasonably priced. The part that made an impression on me was the kindness of the owners? Managers maybe? The lady and man at the front who cashed me out and wrapped up my delicate items. The lady was so nice and friendly, I love making chatter with like-minded antique lovers! I’ll definitely be back in to hunt around soon.”
“Wonderful things, love how they educate you in many different finds. I feel welcomed every time always get a great price on jewelry Best part of all The cat Charlie he is so welcoming to everyone and lovely kids friendly.”
“Love this store! This location is further from my home compared to the Danville and Alamo shops but they have more clothes. Great selection, quality, and prices! Worth the drive for me.”
“I have a set of bedroom furniture, dating from the late eighteen hundreds to early nineteen hundreds. The set has been in my family for four generations.In the early seventies my mother attempted to refinish the furniture. She used a process where the furniture was painted, followed by a stain applied with cheesecloth. The results were disastrous. Years later, she stripped the furniture and stained it. It looked much better, but not great. I've had the furniture since the mid-eighties. I've always wanted to have it professionallyrestored. Around 1995, my wife received an old rocking chair. Horse hair filling, hand carved wood. A dog had chewed off one of the leg ends. We took it to Tony's refinishing in Vallejo. The work Tony performed was beautiful.Fast forward twenty-eight years. I now want to refinish the bedroom set. I called Tony's furniture and spoke with his son Berkeley. I was sad to learn off his father passing away. I told Berkeley I was interested in having the bedroom set refinished along with an oriental coffee table and end tables. The oriental set had an insane amount of relief carving on the tabletop surfaces.I sent Berkeley photos of the pieces we wanted refinished. He promptly gave us a price that he stood by. The work that Berkeley and his crew performed was nothing short of fantastic. The dresser set was completely rebuilt. The drawers no longer bind, they slide in and out freely. No more sawdust on the clothes in the drawer below. The bedroom pieces each had beveled mirrors. Over the years, the original vertical wooden mounts were lost. Berkeley fabricated new wooden mirror mounts that replicated the originals, and replaced the mirrors with new beveled glass. It looks fantastic.The oriental table set had been refinished by my wife's father many years ago. Again, not such a good job. My wife chose a black stain for the set. I didn't think this was a good choice. However, when we went over to Berkeley's to check on the progress, I was very impressed with the black stain. It really looks good. This set was also rebuilt, and had new beveled glass installed. Berkeley offered different finish options and showed stain samples on the wood. Throughout the process he kept us up to date. I would highly recommend Berkeley and his crew at Tony's furniture refinishing.Small businesses like this that offer a rare service that is hard to come by, along with a personal level, are few and far between.”
