Come see the 2000 pounds of crap packed into the 1000 pound building. Too much stuff in this place! Super small isles. Legacies has created what bars call a butt funnel.(A narrow passage requiring people to rub as they pass.) This action is great in a bar, but(butt) bad in a consignment shop. Especially, if your rubbing against a little old lady who smells like moth balls. Most people hit this place for antiques, jewelry or fine china. But, every once in a while I snatch up a cool beer stein or other desirable collectable. Check back frequently as the inventory rotates regularly. Staff is always friendly & professional. Plenty of parking to serve you. Note: Head boards for beds are outside the store on the walkway. Why? I have no idea! But, it looks like a hoarders dream along with all the other crap out there.

Super glad I checked this place out per the recommendation of another UnilocalER! Happily surprised with the deal I found! I’ll be back!

Not your usual shit-show consignment shop. A great place to visit every few months. You just never know what you are going to find. Most of the items found here are extremely clean and in great shape. The quality of the merch here runs on the high side. They seem to have a preponderance of late 1980’s furniture. I’m thinking a lot of this stuff was purchased by North Shore grandparents to be placed in sun rooms, parlors, and guest bedrooms. Most of this stuff looks like it was barely used. Money doesn’t always account for taste though. Some of this stuff is pretty tacky. There is plenty of non-furniture items as well: fine china, wall hangings, glassware, costume jewelry, pottery, and general brick-a-brack. Prices drop 15% every month, so if you have your eye on something, watch the calendar and hope no one else snatches it up! Or, never fear. Stock rotates frequently, something may catch your eye instead.

I’ve brought items to be consigned here several times for work and I respect their customer service, professionalism, pricing and communication. They also have many wonderful and unique items in the store. Always something new every time I visit.

Definitely worth a stop if you are in the area. Stock here rotates constantly so you’ll always find lots of items to consider. They are definitely heavy on china sets, crystal and furniture(mostly traditional style). You never know what you’ll find, though — we’ve picked up an art gem or two here over the years but sometimes all they have is Patrick Nagel prints from the ‘80s or crappy starving artist garbage. Today, hubs scored a nicely framed London subway map for about $ 30. Unlike traditional antique stores, everything here is on consignment so the price goes down 10% each month(max of 6 reductions). That means you can score a deal but also means no haggling. And some items are WAY overpriced — a Toulouse-Lautrec poster for $ 195??? You must be crazy! All in all, Legacies is a great place to pick up nice things for a fraction of the price especially if you have an open mind.

I can’t believe Legacies has never been reviewed! Probably because it’s mostly old ladies who frequent it. My husband and I are really into antiques and Legacies has furnished half of our house for a fraction of what we would have paid if we bought the stuff in an actual antique store. They have great deals! Stuff moves fast so you’ll have better luck if you check it regularly. Keep in mind that the price on the price tag is always 10% off for every month the item has been sitting in the store(each tag is marked with the date the item came in) – that’s where you get the real deals but it’s always a gamble if you wait cause someone else might snatch it up. Great stuff here!
