What a treasure trove! This place is huge - 5 floors of treasure. More mid century furniture than I've ever seen (and we lived in a production town!) And the selection of stained glass panels in amazing. Really beautiful items, everywhere you look. Bring your big wallet. The items aren't cheap 2nd hand, these are antiques and priced as such

I really wanted to work with them but unfortunately I found Nathan so profoundly impolite that my brother and I took our stuff and left. I had pause after reading other reviews, but was really keen to sell our items. However, the interaction was so unpleasant from start to finish that I decided I would rather pay for a storage unit to hold our items than give business to Horseman. It’s a shame because I’ve heard Donald the owner is lovely. I suppose every interaction Nathan has with people is unpleasant so he can't tell a good one from a bad one, or understand that the tone he takes can alienate people, keeping them from wanting to work with him. He consistently tells people to be confrontational but the question should more be why everyone feels uncomfortable to speak up and mention how rude he is to his face. Luckily there are plenty of other lovely small businesses on this block, including other antique stores. I’d gladly discuss my irksome experience with Nathan with over email in case he wishes to leave a comment refuting my review. Cheers!

Went in today quickly to see if it would be worth coming back with my husband. One of the guys working there followed me around like I was going to try and steal a chair. So uncomfortable. The furniture is not very well-restored for the price. I’m happy to look elsewhere.
