I bought a beautiful marble coffee table for $700 (same type of table at Pottery Barn sells for more than $1200 and quality is no where near as good). It was super dirty when I saw it, but he cleaned it up and it was stunning. This isn’t an off the rack place - you have to sift through stuff to find the good pieces, the same you would at a vintage store. The owner is rude and only speaks Spanish but if you’re rude back and smile, he’ll respect you. I basically had to fight with him ? to get what we wanted. The “experience” - and it definitely is one - is not seamless, but you get amazing pieces with great prices. If you want a glass of champagne and a smile when you go shopping, you’re not gonna get that here. But you also don’t pay for it.

Extremely cramp and the owner refuses to move anything in order to check out marchándise.In other words he’s not interest on selling bc he refuses to move anything in order 4 the buyer to see it.

From the moment we stepped into this store, the man at the front stared at us like if we were not welcomed there. We were not greeted at all even though we said hello. As we started to stroll through the store we noticed that he was following us. We stopped to see an item that he had there and we reached to grab it he yelled at us to not touch anything. Now there were no signs in the store telling us not to touch or ask for help. But he repeated himself again to not touch. He was rude in explaining why he did not want people touching his items. So we decided to just leave. The place is full of items cluttered together. You can barely walk in this place. As for us recommending this place to anyone? No Way! You will be better off visiting the other places in this area. You will be better off! As for the man who I assume is the owner! Get real and treat people with respect. Good Luck!

This antique store is not target or Walmart a place to touch and handle merchandise at your own !Most people have little respect for people's property and no respect older individuals that have experience in life ! Sorry does’t not pay for broken items especially for vintage ones that are more fragile ! Small store depend on every sell to pay their bills ! Large store have totally different operation of business ! Is good when you have a sell person fallow you when you are chopping this a great attention to their costumer so if you need help or a question about a item ! When you chop on high end boutique like Dior , Versace , Luis and so on ,there is a sell person fallow you around ,and you don’t touch the merchandise the sell person Handel it to you ! also owner have to protect their item from not to disappear from the shop ! I love small store and a like this antique store and I would plan to visit and buy to support small wonderful business ! and I will ask before I touch any item ,if I’m aloud to do so ,for respect and care of the product .and I would have a great shopping experience !

Worst antique store I have ever visited. I do not recommend this store at all. There are other places in that same location we were treated way better than this dump! As soon as I walked into this store the gentleman at the front was constantly staring at every move I made. When i was looking at an item he immediately advised me not to touch anything. He advised that too many people broke his things. He should place a sign so a person knows not to touch anything. Here is the clincher of this store. Very cluttered all over the store. And I can see why! No one will every buy an item you can not touch! And when you have someone watching you like a hawk with an attitude you will never be able to shop in peace. All I can say to that gentleman is change your attitude and you may one day sell of that crap you have cluttering that store! Good luck!

I wouldn’t recommend this “antique” store to anyone. This store is mostly just a collection of a hoarder who doesn’t want to part ways with anything. The owner will follow you and stare at you from the moment you walk in the door until the moment you walk out. My wife and I went in and immediately felt uncomfortable. We walked around the store looking at all the old pieces of furniture and this man literally watched our every move. When we saw some old rotary phones and simply turned it to see if it worked he yelled from across the store to not touch anything when there are clearly no signs that say do not touch. The store is packed with items and I assume it’s because he cannot sell anything due to his extremely poor behavior. I would never step foot in that place again. The shopping center has other wonderful antiques to offer where the people working are nothing but kind and helpful.

I have NEVER had such a horrible shopping experience. I walk into the store and he stared at me with such repulsion. I decided to shrug it off because he’s a decrepit old man. I start to walk around and he yells at his employee (or wife-whatever she is to him) to go follow me and watch me. I decide to immediately walk out of the store. As I approach the exit, I see him staring at the videos making sure I’m not stealing something. Sir, I’m a successful lawyer in Miami and have no need, nor the desire, to ever steal one of your dusty pieces of antiques. You’re a disgusting human. You should never make your customers feel like they’re unwelcomed as you did to me today. This is why your store is overrun with items; no one wants to buy from you.

I have never felt more uncomfortable inside a store than I did today at Leon Antiques. The owner is unwelcoming, condescending and overall rude. He abruptly yelled at me to not touch his porcelains from across the room when I picked up a tea cup and saucer to observe the floral pattern it had. Mind you, there were no signs that items could not be touched nor was the item placed at eye-level. The tea cup was on top of something that resembled a small stool so the only other way for me to look at it was to crouch. The situation was completely uncalled for and unprofessional. I would never recommend this store to anyone unless they want a terrible experience. It came to no surprise that the store was completely empty of any shoppers.

I would say that customer service almost always contributes to a pleasant shopping experience. In the case of Leon Antiques, it contributes greatly. Mr. Leon is one of the most repulsive people I have ever come across. He is rude, and is decidedly not the best of businessmen, as he receives customers apathetically and questions them suggestively upon entering. Ask what he deems to be too many questions, or inquire about the price of too many items, and he will simply tell you that you are asking him too many things and will respectively dismiss you and go hence from your sight. No wonder his store is full - he doesn't sell anything, no one wants to buy from such repulsive people!To conclude, I would not call this an antiques store. It is rather the collection of a ghastly embittered old man (God knows what his troubles are). This collection is comprised of RELATIVELY old objects with likewise relative value. Not at all high-end, indeed very fine antiques that one hopes to find in a respectable gallery. When asked about the provenance of pieces, he simply appears like a caged animal, and is usually unable to answer. Last I inquired about Sèvres pieces, he was unable to respond. No respectable antiques dealer doesn't recognize such vital and fine antiques.At any rate, if you fancy bitter and awkward moments with repulsive people, by all means, visit his "collection". Otherwise, do stay away from such an unpleasant experience. His clutter is not worth getting lost in.
