Montgomery Street Antique Mall

Overpriced! I collect vintage cameras and I figured that this mall would have a great selection. I was not disappointed there were plenty of cameras I was willing to add to my collection, however, they were marked up at least 200% from what they are worth. Everybody and their mother thinks they know what they are doing when it comes to antique cameras but they simply have NO CLUE. I will definitely not be back to this mall as long as the prices remain where they are.

This place smells awful — even for an antique store.
One of the vendors was putting stuff out and I asked how much an item was. They lady grabbed what I had in my hand from a different vendor before she would give me a price. SOOO RUDE.
Then they tried not to give me the other vendors 20% discount.
On the way out, Mrs Claus grabbed my receipt out of the hand to see if I paid. First, I am not a criminal. Secondly, it would take her over an hour to get up out of that chair to chase me if I was.
This place is a joke. Rude vendors, rude workers. Not worth the time.
It is pricy for an antique store.

It’s cool that the mall is so huge compared to what I’m used to. Looking around is fun and you can find a treasure or two to fill your home with. I do caution that it isn’t EASY to find things and that’s what this review is about.
We visited recently thinking we could find a desk (and pick up a book if we had time), however, there was no way for us to look at the selection properly and price compare like one would do normally in a shop/​mall. Much of the mall was in disorganized piles, stuffed cabinets, or sections. I wanted to look at books and there were so many books scattered in different parts, so I couldn’t find anything. The feeling ends up being… overwhelmed, hectic.
Furthermore, this mall is so large, no one is stopping to help you. For example, once I was in downtown Carrollton in an antique shop and I was looking at a piece of machinery in their «farm» section wondering what it was — an employee came around and started working it in front of me and promptly stated it was a very old type of canner. He asked me if I wanted the details. According to him, he knew the original owner and researched the canner, since he had to price it. This was a good experience compared to a lack of presence of employees here.
My last beef is so many things were overpriced for what they were and that just doesn’t feel like the spirit of antique shopping. It’s better to find a smaller antique shop (some of them have much cheaper prices and a friendly owner explaining the story).

This place is amazing. While the quality of selection can be sometimes inconsistent, it’s always full of treasures if you’re willing to take the time to walk the entire space. We found a delightful entryway table that was very reasonably priced.

I have loved this place for years when I was a teenager I bought my first girlfriend a ring here. I have gotten wide verity of things at this place over ther years metal signs, old tools, yard art cowboy boots all kinds of cool stuff prices have risen and fallen depending upon what is in style at current time. Good place for kids great conversation starters I just like a fort worth staple. The café is great I have liked what ever I have ordered through the years great service

This place is amazing. Simply amazing. It is so big. I came here with a like-​minded friend, and we spent almost 3 hours inside and didn’t see everything. It’s almost an overload of the senses when you walk in.
The dominant product available is dishes. Any kind of cup, plate, bowl, crystal, serving platter, anything you can imagine in all colors and styles is available. Rarely is it a full and complete set, but that’s the joy of antiquing… finding and piecing together all the little lovelies you find into something perfect and unique to your own home.
There was a great selection of chairs available, from midcentury to vintage rustic, to Art Deco. My friend actually went home with a beautiful Blue mid century rocker with lovely canned sides and back. It was $ 275, which is downright reasonable for what it was.
The staff is very polite and friendly, there were multiple people available at the register to check us out. There are also a little information booth style set ups at various locations throughout the facility, in case you get lost (which is a real and distinct possibility in this place, it is a maze) offering a helpful hand.
I held off on the fifth star, because we did not go to the secret Garden restaurant. But when we were there around noon, it was packed. I peaked over the Japanese folding curtain partition, to see beautiful little cottage style tables with tall crystal water glasses and people dining on salad and sandwiches. It all looked very quaint. I would love to try it sometime, but my focus on this trip was getting through as many of the antique stalls as I could. And in three hours (almost) we didn’t make it.
This is a lovely place to spend the bulk of an afternoon.

**PLEASE READ THIS IF YOU PLAN ON SHOPPPING HERE**
I recently joined my parents on a little shopping trip to Montgomery Antique Mall. They have purchased thousands of dollars worth of furniture here, all beautiful pieces. However, beware that the parking lot is not safe for you, even at noon on a Sunday as church is letting out, and Fort Worth police officers are a block away directing traffic for Christ Chapel Sunday service release.
As you shop for great pieces inside, criminals are shopping through your cars in the parking lot as I found out today and apparently many others have found out recently as well. Fresh glass shards litter the parking lot, including those from my car as thieves targeted my $ 100 aftermarket stereo. The officer that took my theft report noted that FWPD have made repeated efforts get Montgomery Antique Mall to install security cameras to ensure the safety of patrons and their belongings. The response I received from the front desk of the mall about the matter was rather indifferent to the problem.
Until security cameras are installed around the parking lots, be aware of the risk you are taking after leaving your car in the parking lot and going inside.

Great place, amazing collection of furniture

Wow… this place is huge… and so much fun to browse. I found some really great stuff, at very fair prices.

If you’re interested in seeing lots of stuff, this is the place to go. If you plan to find good deals, then you must go elsewhere. I’m in my 40’s and essentially have lived relatively near it for the greater part of those years. I’ve been numerous times annually for at least 10 – 15 odd years. I don’t recall having ever purchased anything here. I went most recently just this past week.
Again, tons of stuff to see and much of it is enjoyable. Whether or not these truly are antiques I’ll leave for those to judge who know much more about this world than I do. Of the items I’ve seen and those in which I’d have potential interest in buying, primarily for nostalgic reasons, I was want to consider them once I saw the asking price.
For example, I love books and I’m always on the lookout, not because I’m interested only in accumulating classic editions but also because I love to read, and I love reading great literature, philosophy, and verse, which puts me in a smaller category than other more popular genres, which also follows that that which I read isn’t necessarily in great demand by the masses and therefore doesn’t warrant extravagant pricing. Visiting no fewer than 5 separate Half Price Books locations regularly, most of which are visited weekly, and the one nearest my house more often than that, I know the price of books. I don’t know much but I do know this, and the books in this antique mall – and again, I’m not talking about classic, rare editions in mint condition – just good books, say, by Melville, Twain, or any other great 19^th/​20^th century writer with plenty of circulations are way too expensive at this mall. Often, and this is no joke, I get similar books for a couple bucks. At this mall it’s going to cost $ 28 or so, which certainly is way more than when it was originally published and, to reiterate, is in most cases not even a first edition.
I use books as one example but I can relate many others, if necessary. I still go to this place a few times a year because it’s a fun place to go to and the items are certainly worth seeing (if you’re in to this kind of thing; I wouldn’t say I am necessarily but I do get nostalgic probably more often than my less civilized tastes can stand to bear) and I’m hopefully one of these days I may actually leave with something in my hands. If nothing else, I do generally grab a sandwich or soup at the mall, and it ain’t bad. Plus, I sometimes leave with new desires and then just hit up eBay or Amazon to find it much more agreeable to my wallet (and not as dusty).

I’m from out of state and am always looking for places to find treasures to take home for resell in my own space in a trendy vintage marketplace. So take in consideration that my reviews are from that perspective. I think the old expensive dusty antique stores are becoming a thing of the past in today’s current «Pinterest» generation. This mall was for the most part, very disappointing. I visited this mall 5 years ago & loved many of the vendors that were «moving forward in the vintage lifestyle trend» but alas… They have left the mall. And now many of the vendors are selling new flea market style crap, or the same olé dusty over priced stuff I saw 5 years ago. I don’t plan on returning after this disappointing trip. Looking for a new «favorite» for the future visits!

This antique mall is huge and worth the visit. It takes a long time to get all the way through. There are so many separate vendors and so many different things to see. There is no way you can see it all. So much great stuff to buy. Go here with an empty car so you can fill up.
Anything and ever thing can be found while roaming the halls of this place.
It was in no way cluttered or messy. I will be back for sure. I love a good antique mall and this sure is one.

A huge vicinity with over 200 rooms that are full of antiques! Unlike a traditional antique store, each room belongs to a different owner. This allows a larger variety of items in the mall. You can find anything from homemade jewelry, to antique statues, to furniture for your entire room. A few of the rooms are available for sale, so you can buy the entire thing for a great price.
A few of the vendors put their personal phone numbers in their showcase room so you can negotiate prices. It’s a great place to visit when you’re looking for a few things that you haven’t seen in years. I noticed there were several pieces of furniture and collectible items. One of my favorite rooms was a table located in one of the aisles that had a table full of old postcards from across the USA.
I saw a myriad number of books, wall paintings, chairs, and cameras. The employees are always willing to open jewelry cabinets and help anyone in need of assistance. It’s a great place to spend an afternoon if you like browsing vintage items!

Love this place! There are so many good deals and the employees are so nice! Try the Tea Room if you stop by. It is delicious and you will be hooked… forever. :-)

This place is different from a lot of antique malls I’ve seen recently. It actually has antiques! I mean there’ some modern stuff here and there, but on the whole it’s an impressive collection. It took us two separate trips to see the whole place and each time we found things we wanted. Staff is super friendly too.

I like this a lot better than the Forestwood Antique Mall. That place was a bit too organized and focused on high-​cost items.
Anyway. This place is large, but manageable. The organization is really strange, but I think that is due to several additions to the building over time. They are really helpful by having 2 check-​out counters on either end of the building to save you from hoofing it across the building unnecessarily depending on where you parked.
The vendors have a good range of items, across the price spectrum. Some items are more authentic than others… to be honest, there are items being sold as «antiques» that really are only a couple years old or faked. Anyway, if you know what you’re looking for, you’ll be alright.
This place is a book lover’s dream. There are several vendors with a wide selection of old books and newer used books. Just fascinating.
Most of the items in here are priced at market value. That is understandable, because I’m sure they’ll sell at market value. I will not knock them for getting the prices deserved for their items. However, just know going in you’re not likely to find amazing deals here. This place is too well-​known and accessible for that. But you’re guaranteed a good time looking around whether you buy or not.

Make sure to check out this place when you have plenty of time, reason for it is that the place is overloaded with anything and everything you can think of, from silver-​wear to bed set, to junk yard (literally), paintings, books, clothes and jewelry and not to leave out a restaurant (which I did not have time to check it out).
I was looking for stained glass window, the ones that I liked were a bit expensive $ 425 (ish).
There were few paintings that I would have bought if they were a bit cheaper (mos of the were $ 360 and up)
It’s a fun, fascinating place to explore, but after going through some treasures, I realized I couldn’t afford and didn’t want to buy anything.
Reason for four star is: they did not do a good job on organizing the place, they should label the ares by numbers, states, or bands so you would not miss any of the sections. Good luck finding the exit!
Also the prices are a bit on a high range (hence the $$$ on the Unilocal).
I would defenetly go back!

BEWARE – SENSORY OVERLOAD! There’s so many things to look at that I sort of glazed over, in a good way – sort of like a glazed doughnut. And if you like vintage and really creative stuff, you too will glaze and maybe drool a little. There’s a lot of stuff to look at. They have almost everything. It’s super fun, but don’t pressure yourself to see it all on the first visit. This is a multi-​vendor set up. That means you may see the item you want at more than one place and at different prices. Also, it may make it hard to haggle, since the owner may not be on site. It seemed that some vendors are on the upper end of the price scale, but there are still deals to be had.
Parking isn’t too bad. I will def go here again.

More antiques than you can imagine. This place goes on forever! I loved it!
We were here for about 3 hours, Sunday and did not come close to seeing it all.

Huge, warehouse-​sized building chock full of granny appeal safely behind locked curios. Tons of walkways and interesting items, but everything’s pretty overpriced. I’ve been going here since high school and I don’t think I’ve ever purchased anything. I like the cattle barns better.
There’s a restaurant in the middle I’ve never been to but have heard good things about. I guess I really can’t bring myself to have tea here. I can already hear the boyfriend raging, sensing that I’m even thinking about it.
