Granny’s Attic Antiques

Super cool place to explore and find unique gifts and pieces for your home. The place is well organized and is quite the treasure trove of history. But I felt that prices were high and arbitrary. They were not posted on the majority of items making check out frustrating.

I love Granny’s Attic! I have been buying things at their stores and their auctions for more than 15 years! They have everything in that giant store of theirs… And Maury is a treasure! I have purchased unusual pieces, antiques, and things I just thought were awesome at reasonable prices and I have haggled too! Take a trip to the store — make sure you have some time on your hands because you will want to stay all day!

They are closing. Need I say more. Maury’s says he’s not racist however In his response he’s says Asian’s bargain so much that he just yells enough already. Is he racist? Read his response to my review.

Now I’ve been popping into Granny’s Attic since it was in Mahwah on the border of Suffern. It’s been in Ho-​Ho-​Kus now awhile. These are two very upper class towns in New Jersey and therefore folks can afford, and Maury can justifiably get the prices he’s asking. The prices are less than NYC but a tad more than other shops in New Jersey. I really shouldn’t say shop as this is truly a warehouse and there’s nothing else like it in North Jersey. I inquired about two MCM daybeds once and in retrospect his negotiated price was really fair but I thought I could do better garbage picking. I was wrong. It’s a tad too pricey for me but he really has this huge range of stuff just not enough mid century modern or vintage (funky 60 70) for me to pop in more often. Even though Unilocal is showing he’s closed on Sunday, Granny’s Attic is open on Sunday when the blue laws of Bergen County keep everything else closed. Plus I really appreciate the points Maurey makes in replying on Unilocal to those giving him really low reviews unfairly.

Great great place. I found Granny’s Attic on Craig’s List advertising a desk. I went up to see it. It was nice and they still had it. After seeing all 3 floors, I spoke to a very nice sales person and told him what I was looking for. He showed me 3 other desks that I missed and gave me a brief antique lesson. I wound up purchasing a beautiful French desk… yes, that came from France. It is stunning and special. I also purchased a French coffee table and an oil painting of a dog. The latter 2 was unplanned. Now I’m looking for a French mirror and I think I’m going to have to take another trip up. Glad the store is around when I need them. I would so rather see it in person than buy on ebay. So, thanks.

Really large and cool antique warehouse. You get what you pay for and this place has a lot of nice stuff. I thought the prices were fair and the owner was negotiable on prices. This place is 10 times larger than your average antique store so I would go here even if its a schlep.

I am amazed at the sheer size and inventory of this store. I have been there a few times and have always been very pleased with my purchases. There’s so much to see and plenty of interesting pieces. Mauri the owner is a super friendly gentleman who is passionate about his items and answered any of my questions. He’s a fun guy to chat with as well. You can get lost in this place and there’s stuff in every corner. My only gripe is that I wish there was a fourth floor… Because I wanted to keep going!

This place is fantastic! Full to the brim of everything your grandmother had in her attic of your wildest dreams ! It’s not a garage sale folks but if your looking for vintage it’s here, I don’t know what was more fun trolling thru three floors of treasure or «bartering» with Maury! Can’t wait to go back.

Wow! This is my go-​to place for one of a kind things. I don’t like cheap furniture, and I like things with a bit of character and style. If that’s how you are, you won’t go wrong here. You can wander through this store for hours and not see everything, but go with something particular in mind, and you will very likely find it. The store folks are great, and if there is a scratch or a dent on something, they can fix it right up for you, and deliver it to your house too. Often the same day you buy it! I have basically furnished my entire house at Granny’s, artwork too… but don’t be in a hurry. Go there when you have time to linger. Talk to Maury or John. Tell them what you are looking for, if you get overwhelmed. They know where everything is and can help you out. But don’t think this place is GoodWill or a flea market. Though the inventory can look a bit jumbled, it’s good stuff, and they won’t just give it away. But if you understand the value of what you are looking at, you can get great deals. I go back there as often as I can. Give it a try!

Granny’s Attic is much bigger than any of the antique shops my parents took me to when I was a child. I went there a few months ago with my wife and children in search of furniture for our new home.
My wife fell in love with some reproduction pieces at Valley Furniture in Watchung. Before taking the leap, we decided to try Granny’s attic. I was very happy we did. We ended up buying a magnificent dining room table, with one leaf and 8 chairs. We also bought two silk covered chairs that would have cost us thousands of dollars each at Valley.
On our first trip we spent three hours wandering the store. We went later in the day when it was a little slower and the owner was very helpful. He moved some furniture around for my wife so she could see different table and chair combinations.
Granny’s isn’t cheap, but the prices are fair. While we were there we did see some customers get upset because they couldn’t get what they wanted for a garage sale price. They probably should have gone to a thrift store. For us, it was easier than spending a year scouring garage sales.
The owner was also very nice to my son who fell in love with a clock, and worked out a deal with an 11 year old. My son loves the place and wants to go back.
Granny’s later found an extra leaf that went with our table and called us, letting us have it for no extra charge.
They did a great job on delivery and cleaned up the furniture before delivery.
My wife plans to go back and furnish a few more rooms. She really loves shopping there. I was happy spending a few thousand on a dining room table instead of the 10k it would have cost me for the reproduction she originally wanted at Valley. We need a few more chairs, end tables, coffee tables, etc. Just remember… the place is huge, so give yourself a few hours to wander all the floors and isles.
With Granny’s we will have our house furnrished in less than a year… instead of spreading our purchases out at the $$$ reproductiomn stores.
I snuck out a few weekends ago to go browse on my own. I spent a few hours there. You do have to dig and have an idea of what you are looking for, Antiques, reproductions, 50’s, 60’s, 70’s, 80’s, etc. Tables, chairs, barrister book cases, hutches, beds, etc.

I had read all the sometimes-​mixed reviews and decided to check it out myself.
This place is incredible, but I can see how folks could get the wrong impression. With a name like «Granny’s Attic» and the dusty old outside appearance, you can see how people might think this was one of those rummage stores that try to pass themselves off as «antique» stores. This is not that.
If Neiman Marcus were an antique store, it would be Granny’s Attic. This is not where you go to find a $ 500 antique dining set — you have to troll craigslist like the rest of us.
This is where you go with your fancy-​pants designer and furnish your penthouse in gorgeous antiques. Or, like the rest of us, you go here to find the one or two beautiful splurge items that add character to a room.
There is something of a display challenge in that there is so much incredible stuff here (literally boggles the mind with decorating possibilities), you simply cannot appreciate it. It wants for a stately showroom (but where’s the fun in that). This stuff is very high end and there are some extremely interesting pieces.
And, I’ll just add that we were warmly welcomed by the owner who couldn’t have been friendlier (despite me having two little boys in tow, in an antique shop, what was I thinking?!?). He left us alone to ogle the merchandise but willingly traipsed all over when I wanted a price on something.
So, I say, Go! This place makes you want to decorate like Williams Sonoma makes you want to cook…

The selection is great. I saw many, many things from taxidermy to desks to paintings that would have been fantastic in my home. I would give more stars based on selection alone.
The semi-​disorganization did not bother me. Rummaging about can be adventurous in a good way.
But the prices. Outlandish. The employees seemed unwilling to really budge on prices, always making the claim that a piece was one fancy schmancy label or another. They seemed to not really want to deal with customers, which I found odd. The prices and rudeness — not so much.

My husband and I are looking for a dresser. We walked into Granny’s Attic and found ouselves in a maze of furniture, lamps, paintings and diverse wonderful things. There were people there. A man we presumed to be the manager was having an argument with a customer about internet prices. We were there about an hour and no one asked us what we were looking for. We were astonished at the prices for what is essentially used furniture and not fine antiques. I have shopped at many places like this in the past and although there is a vast selection of items to chose from, their prices are too high and the customer service could be greatly improved.

For the most part Granny’s is a warehouse full of over-​priced knock-​offs. There’s the occasional find, but you have to work hard at it.
