“Visited location and Tom gave us the grand tour & history of business. Plus was very informative about the lighting & their history. Item we purchased was shipped carefully, arrived in great condition, item is a great piece that Tom has restored. All good, highly recommend. Next time we are in Boston will visit again in person. Thanks”
“Annette not only runs a beautifully curated shop, but her sales are equally thoughtfully organized, fair, and full of amazing finds. Expect to find everything from everyday items to antiques. It’s clear she puts real care into how everything is presented, and she's always kind and approachable. She clearly respects both the families she works with and the buyers she welcomes. Shopping with her is always a positive experience, and I can’t recommend checking out either enough!”
“A gem of a place. Quality people doing quality work. I asked them to glue up and refinish my reproduction antique tabletop. The purpose of the glue up was to turn the 4 pieces of the top into a solid piece. I had removed the skirt before bringing the pieces in. Dan Jr sent me back home for the skirt and they ended up fabricating the pieces to make a full 360 degree skirt. It looks amazing. Then they finished it all with a nice mahogany color stain and light gloss urethane.”
“I had a wonderful experience working with this small business on a custom map. The attention to detail was outstanding, and they were thoughtful and responsive throughout the entire process. They really took the time to understand what I was looking for and delivered a beautiful, high-quality product. You can tell Steven cares deeply about his work and his customers. I would absolutely recommend Ward Maps to anyone looking for a meaningful, custom piece.”
“This is my first and last recommendation for anyone with a wood fireplace. When we first bought a home with a fireplace, this was our one-step shop to start using it. I walked in knowing nothing and with only a measurement of the fireplace opening, and walked out with everything I needed. It's also an amazing vibe, absolutely worth visiting. The owner is extremely kind, welcoming, and knowledgable. Also great prices on firewood.”
“A fantastic antique shop with lovely owners that are very informative of their stock. You learn something new about everything they sell and I highly recommend checking them out!”
“I have purchased many beautiful items from All That Matters. Ursula, the owner, has wonderful taste in everything from jewelry to all kinds of furniture. All That Matters also has great Christmas gifts and decorations.”
“Excellent professional service. Job well-done. Selection of available frames is a bit limited, however. We selected one frame that had to be ordered but never came in. The second frame we chose was supposed to be available within a week but took more than another month for our piece to be ready. Some of this may have been due to low inventories at suppliers due to Covid, and The Frame Gallery did a very good job keeping us informed about delays. All-in-all, we will definitely use them in the future and recommend them with the above qualifier.”

“super cute atmosphere and kind staff! Not your average thrift shop, expect boutique/ reseller pricing. I liked their sunglasses. Didn't buy but if you a spare $50 it can get you one shirt.”
“This is a really fun antiques, vintage and collectibles shop! They have a very wide selection of styles, with lots of dealers selling interesting items. It seems that merchandise changes regularly and some dealers offer discounts or sales. This is a nice size shop, so take your time and go slowly as there are many things to look at and enjoy. The proprietor of the shop is wonderful as she is welcoming, present to answer and/or help in addition to being able tell you about her really awesome baby shoe collection/display by the cashier station. If you're looking for unique, we'll loved items for yourself, decorating or gift-giving definitely give Downstairs at Felton a try!!!!”
“I truly amazing restoration of an old family chair. I was blown away by how beautiful the wood is, especially considering its condition before restoration. Worth every penny.”

“Derek replaced the plexiglass on one of my roomate’s Japanese frog painting after I clumsily cracked it while working out in my apartment. He stapled the new plexiglass to the frame in a way that made it more stable than before and even sealed some of the flaws in the frame to give it a smoother/more clean appearance. He got the piece back to me in less than a week and packaged it securely so it wouldn’t get damaged on the ride home. I will definitely be coming back to this location if I have any more picture frame related needs or (in this case) woes, and you should do the same!”

“Wonderful store with an outstanding collection of items curated by the owner. I can always find something great here, whether it’s a gift or something for our home. Highly recommended!”
“Had the pleasure to talk with Wayne, who quickly helped me figure out what to do about a 100+ year old gramophone I had. Really honest and kind, and helped me out a whole lot. If you’re trying to figure out what to do with some old antiques and collectibles, a definitely recommend contacting central mass auctions!”
“Such a nice store! I think I spent more time talking to the owners who were so friendly and welcoming. This was my first time in Beacon Hill after moving to Boston and Upstairs Downstairs has become a staple for me. They had some really great pieces at what I thought were very reasonable prices. Will definitely be recommending and com ing back.”
“I had a great experience today purchasing a lampshade for an unusually sized and shaped lamp. I had previously gone online and had all the measurements for what should work, but I decided it was better to talk with an expert who could make a recommendation. That’s what I got and I am very happy with my purchase. It’s the value you don’t get online, full service, no wasted packaging, and supporting local business.”

“Cool spot. Cool finds. We pop in from time to time to see what’s new. Furniture selection tends to be a little more rundown or beat up than I’d generally go for. But so many other neat things.”
“Good antique store for all budgets, small but good selection of antiquarian books, large selection of furniture and glassware, vases, etc. Owner is friendly and helpful. Overall a great place”

“Great store the staff is friendly and knowledgeable. I have purchased many items throughout years and have been extremely satisfied with every purchase. You cannot beat the quality of the merchandise and the prices are very reasonable.”
“Best experience I’ve had in a pawn shop and I’ve been to a bunch. Explains everything clearly, he’s straight up and honest with customers. I won’t go anywhere else from now on. Some pawn shops are just greedy and vicious, not this one! I’d highly recommend going there. 0 complaints!”
“I used this expert before, most satisfied always. Today I stopped by with two minor problems, it was fixed on the spot and no charge to boot. This gentleman is a gem, I will recommend him wholeheartedly.”
“Absolutely my favorite place to shop for just about everything! Everyone that works there is so friendly and Mark can always put a smile on your face and give you a great deal! Don't pass this place up! You will find so many things you didn't even know that you needed!”

“Went here with my Mother at her request. She was hunting gold! She purchased a few gold coins from Steve. He was highly recommended to him from a friend of hers. Steve is knowledgeable and personable. Would highly recommend.”
“Folklorica in Newton Centre has beautiful, unique jewelry.
Lonnie and Jill are fantastic—they helped me find exactly what I was looking for and were so welcoming. I also appreciated that when I liked a necklace, they offered to contact me when it comes in silver. They have a really good range of prices.”
