Old Time Pottery

Ailse after aisle of stuff made in China. I have been fooled and bought items from stores like this only to have them fail on me and look terrible after a short time. No thanks!

I would rate this store as NO star if I could write this review without having to chose at least one. I go in to pick up a picture that wouldn’t fit in my daughter’s car only to find out they sold what she had already paid for to someone else! Isn’t that illegal to sell what doesn’t belong to you? Once she paid for it the picture was HER’S not THEIR’s to resell. Then I am basically told what’s the big deal it’s their policy to refund the money along with a hundred other excuses but none of them were attributed to it being their fault. They kept her receipt when she brought the item back into the store and misplaced it so she didn’t get it back and I had none to show when I went to pick it up which was fine since they had the sell on record BUT they insisted on refunding the money to a credit or debit card even though it was paid for with CASH.
Personally I never shopped in this store and after this I didn’t even bother cruising the store for any items for myself.

I could spend so much money here! Great home décor store, you will fall in love with it all! :) prices are great too!

Gots a love/​hate relationship with this place. I would always come here with my mom back-​in-​the-​day and as soon as I entered, I would get an instant headache. Needless to say, she loves the place and can spend hours looking at things.
These days, I love the place. It’s full of junk you you never knew existed but cannot do without… kinda like Pier One. Come to think of it… it is a cheaper version of Pier One, on a much grander scale.
The store really is huge, and the prices cannot be beat. Go and check it out… you will be glad you did. But don’t get me started on the silk flowers…

got wicker? Want flowers, just not the real kind? Need to outfit your place like Jimmy Buffet’s time share manager had their way with you? Come on in, and buckle up.
This place could be called Acres an’ Acres of Bargains. It’s a virtual warehouse full of homey stuff, homie. Inside these four walls is a layman designer’s paradise, housing just about anything you can think of. Kitchenware (pots, pans, spatulas), linens (sheets, towels, other things made of cloth), furniture (bureaus, lamps, chairs… rocking and stable) are everywhere, as well as art (loosely defined), floor treatments (a fancy way of saying «rug») and a huge selection of dinner ware and glassware, in case you’re upgrading your apartment from the «Cable Spool Coffee Table» classification to something that says you have a job rather than merely an allowance.
There are also a few hidden gems lying around that you may not have realized you needed until happening upon them. Flamingo clock whose legs act as the pendulum? Check. Trio of dolphins, carved out of wood, jumping gracefully out of a beautiful trio of waves, also carved out of wood? Check. Compilation of Chuck Norris DVDs, all en espanol? Verificar.
And let’s not forget, the day after Labor Day, Old Time Pottery begins its inexorable shift to Big Time Christmas, where you can find just about every type of commercialized decoration you ever needed to immodestly commemorate the birth of Christ.
In all seriousness, however, if you’re in need of things to put on your walls, inside your cabinets or under your backside, this is a good place to start. Now if you’ll excuse me, I have to finish watching Chuck Norris patear el culo. Viva la barba!

Prior to what the other reviewer said we were able to get a nice rug from Old Time Pottery for 10% below the posted price of the rug. So I am a little glad they didn’t bait and switch us.
The store itself offers a lot of stuff for good prices, think about it as a nicer version of Big Lots with better quality items. We ended up with 1 big rug for the living room and 2 runners for the hall.

Earlier comments had complaints about confusing pricing and problems resolving issues, but my experience with the OTP in Destin has always been outstanding. I go there every few months, but on my most recent trip the store manager, Kelly, really went out of her way to help me.
I was looking for the little tiny part of the harp on a lamp that supports the lampshade, but was expecting to have to buy the whole harp. Unfortunately they were out of stock in the size harp that I needed, but Kelly happened to be walking by and said they may have some damaged inventory in the back that would have the little piece I was missing. Sure enough, she came back just a few seconds later and gave me the choice of two sizes, and at no charge! As always, I greatly enjoyed this trip to OTP, and will continue to go there and refer all my friends.

I was really hoping for some type of response… especially in this time of «customerization» marketing efforts.
FYI, ignoring this problem does not mean others haven’t experienced it.
