Schroeder’s Furniture & Collectibles & Antiques

I’ve gone here twice now. Each time the owner doesn’t even bother to say hello. He just follows me around the store about two feet away from me. He asks a lot of very nosey questions like why I want to buy something and what am I gonna use it for. He has a very bad attitude too. He parks his bike in front of his store yet he complains if someone goes near it. I asked him to look at some furniture I was selling and he made my friend leave the store before he would come outside. He banged my items around like they were trash and when he asked me where I got them and where they were going he would repeat my answers back to me every time like I was lying or just being condescending. He seems to have an anger problem I will never go here again nor will I recommend this place to anyone

We were just about to go into this store when my husband called me on my phone. I took the call on the sidewalk, not in the store, out of courtesy. There was a large motorcycle displayed in front of the store. While I was looking at the menu on the wall between stores, my nine year old put my three year old on the bike. I was right there and as soon as I saw, I came over to get her off. Before I could, this man comes screaming out the door «HEY! GET OFF THAT BIKE! DONT YOU KNOW BETTER?» Then he looked at me with his chest all puffed out, looking for a fight. I got off the phone, waved my kids away. I didn’t say a word. Maybe the kids shouldn’t have been on the bike, but surely there was a better way to behave? Won’t be back, won’t recommend.

The owner has a chip on his shoulder and probably should retire. With all the abundance of antique shops in Medford you would think that being nice and helpful would be a no brainer if you want someone to shop your store. Beware his attitude if you try to ask questions, Mr. Schroeder doesn’t care about being nice or polite. I was going to spend between $ 300 – 400 but changed my mind due to his attitude.
