Very Bad Experience

by Rmadison at Citysearch

Found something I wanted to buy and when I asked for help the sales "man" didnt even get up from his precious seat. He quoted me $500 and would not negotiate at all. Then when I went to go buy, the owner grabbed it out of my hand and "claimed" it was already sold for $600. Very shady business and an obvious lie and rude behavior made me leave and never want to go back. Beware of shady stories of how they stock "under priced" items that are worth much more and that they just do not have the time to research any of their own inventory.....just very sketchy and unprofessional.... Buyers beware!

• Pros: Decent inventory
• Cons: Nasty owner & unhelpful staff

Found an incredible bargain

by melocotonette at Citysearch

This place is huge with multiple floors of mid century modern pieces and furniture literally piled on top of each other. It's cramped but that's part of the fun - going through the nooks and crannies of each floor. This weekend, my husband and I came away with amazing chairs at an unbelievable price. The person who helped us answered all our questions, arranged delivery and gave us an upholstery recommendation. The chairs came the next day exactly as scheduled. A smooth transaction on top of a great bargain.

MY Favorite for Mid-Century Furniture, Art & Lighting!!!

by AvidCollector at Citysearch

"I am an avid antique hunter/collector. I have purchased many beautiful mid-century modern pieces from this store! The inventory at this place is amazing! Rare and one of a kind designer pieces you cannot find anywhere! unbelievable!!! There used to be a very surly old man that ran the place but I am happy to report that he is gone and in his place is an entirely new staff of knowledgeable, friendly, polite gentleman that are a pleasure to do business with! When you go, be prepared to be overwhelmed by the massive amount of furniture, lighting and art! There are five floors of constantly changing inventory with a hidden gem at every turn! On a recent foray I did observe the furniture is much more organized than in the past and there were brand new fire extinguishers everywhere. I asked if the clearance signs meant they were going out of business and was told, "no, that in fact they were about to celebrate 50 years in business and doing better that ever!" (Kudos!) I can understand how tourists might have been easily offended by the gruff "New York attitude" they may have encountered in the past, I however considered it part of its charm. (New Yorkers' always seem to get a bad rap but it is still the friendliest place on earth!!!)

If you have not been to Horseman recently or had sour experience in the past, I suggest you check out the new Horseman Antiques for yourself! Deals are definitely to be had and made, it"s all about how you approach them! In this place you definitely get what you give!!! Horseman Antiques is a wonderland waiting to be explored and I LOVE wandering for hours through its blast from the past stacks of priceless memories! They are open 7 days a week until 6pm, sharp!"

• Pros: Amazing Inventory!
• Cons: Not enough time to see it all!
