Great Stuff By Paul

Interesante

So my wife and I decided to go to Paul’s and see what the 50% off was all about. As soon as we walked in we were greeted by Paul and he seemed to have a little bit of an attitude. We ignored it and went on to look at what he had. A lot of the stuff he had was marked really high but it was 50% off. Even with it at 50 % off it was still above retail value. He kept telling us it was wholesale. So we found a couple pieces we liked and made him an offer of less than 50% off because we looked it up online and we found it way cheaper. He told us he doesn’t negotiate prices and said this is a rare piece of furniture from England. I don’t mind paying for an item but he had applied a gloss urethane on the entire piece which totally took away from the value. When I collect items I like them with the original petina not refinished which takes away from the value. He wouldn’t go lower on his price and got a serious attitude and started raising his voice. We decided that this was not a sale as it stated on the front of his building it was a gimmick to get you into the store thinking you are getting a bargain at 50% off. You were actually paying retail after the 50% mark down. Not a deal. My wife and I will definitely not be going back to his place. Bad attitude and doesn’t want to deal.

Lots of good finds. Mostly furniture or accessories in the 'rough' style e.g. raw wood bowls, buckets,well worn furniture. Bring a coat as the overflow room/space is unheated. Owner is friendly but does not hover/upsell.

Wow, I am so relieved that the owner was not rude only to me! The place is full of interesting items but the guy's attitude is extremely off-putting and surprisingly unpleasant. He may be the single rude shop owner in all of Frederick- i have never encountered anything like this! We strolled in by chance while riding our bikes, and the second he realized we were not going to strap one of his 100-year-old chopping block counters on the racks, he stopped mid-sententce, turned around and walked away! That was after making a mean comment about my accent. Wow!

Comments don’t exaggerate his customer service skills. I found the perfect broken rain barrel for a project my sons been asking for and asked him for a price. He said $200 at 50% off. When I got to the register he marked it as $300. I reminded him that wasn’t what he told me. And he said that was for the small ones. It Is NOT what I showed him. I walked out. Multiple people left while I was browsing due to his mannerism. Sad really.

Amazingly beautiful items in this place! Paul was so welcoming and so proud of his collection. Must see!

We keep tryingggg to like stuff by Paul but let’s be honest. He’s always running a sale that isn’t really a sale. His building is "always selling" so he pressures you to buy fast. He’s extremely rude and condescending (believe the reviews) and honestly we won’t be back. What a complete and total waste of time. He does have unique items but if you have to interact with Paul, it’s going to be miserable.
