Where do you shop for secondhand, thrifted or “antique” furniture? Any tips on finding moving sales or estate sales? Beyond local but nothing/nextdoor where should I go for old wood furniture and weird stuff!
Gillette Consignment on Silas deane highway. They deliver, and have an online store you can browse (although not everything is on there I think)
Hilltop gallery in Branford - a hidden gem with the coolest stuff
Wow this place looks cool.
Hit up the Wallingford location and it was cool but very empty. Will check out the others. Ever been to the NH ReStore?
Thank you!
The one in Stratford is like 10x the size of the Wallingford one. Cromwell one is larger than Wallingford too.
I’ve found tons of cool stuff on Craigslist
Scan auction Ninja
As far as I know there are only offices in New Haven.
A little bit of everything at Roosevelt Tower on Route 34 in Derby. There's also a junk and antique barn 1 minute north on 34 from Roosevelt Tower that's worth going through if you're in the area. Mongers Market in Bridgeport is only open on Sundays but has a lot of fun things to explore. Also agree that the Stratford ReStore is the best ReStore.
In the interest of creating more competition, this is my suggestion too! All kinds of things at all kinds of price points on Auction Ninja
Hotel Liquidators is really fun! Maybe not the quality or antiquity that you are seeking, but definitely a unique place worth a visit. I've found lamps, mirrors and some wall art there.
The Goodwill Outlet in Hamden often gets some good stuff. Dirt cheap too!
Goodwill outlet on State
Estate sales
I've only window shopped (literally lol) from the sidewalk of the Cromwell one and YES, it has lovely things!!!
Not a store, but Facebook Marketplace usually has good stuff.
Wallingford one has a Facebook, they post items on it so I guess that is a good place to keep an eye out for anything interesting
new england reuse in north haven is worth checking out! it's a pretty similar to the habitat restores.
also, it's a little more expensive and boutique/vintage-oriented, but monger's market in bridgeport is always worth the trip on a sunday.

There are Habitat for Humanity ReStores in Wallingford, Stratford and Cromwell. They have had some very nice stuff over the years.
