Rustology Antiques and Oddities 21 Main Street, Stafford, CT 06076

"Some items here could definitely tell an interesting story, but items of any real value are few and far between. 90% or so are broken parts, rusted metal scraps, moldy books, and actual trash like opened packaging with nothing in it lying on the floor. The building is in disrepair with cobwebs, cracked walls and ceilings, muddy floors, and leaks that drop down onto piles of "antiques and oddities". The downstairs has the majority of the good quality items, while the upstairs is hardly cared for. The whole business looks like they think being an antique dealer is an excuse not to ever bother cleaning anything. I've never seen a retail space quite as gross as this, and I started in janitorial work for retail clients. The guys working there are friendly to customers which is great to see, but they swear constantly and act unprofessional with off-color jokes among themselves or when they are not in the mood to care. I get the feeling they will respond to this review by saying I'm making this up. Before you do, ask yourself "Did this customer REALLY wake up today thinking they would love nothing more than to slander a small independent store in a cozy town?" I don't know what to tell you, I was there. Grab a broom. Maybe some all purpose cleaner. A trash can. Clean your store. Toss the obvious garbage. Stop swearing. Then the store would be great honestly, and an easy 5 stars."

"Cool place they were working on cleaning it up but they got some cool stuff in there and theres a second floor they are working on- its going to be something! The building is from 1903, very very cool."

"Wonderful collection of everything antique! Two massive floors of everything you can imagine, great prices, will take a while to look through it all."

"Was pretty disappointed, I checked their hours and when I got there it was closed. According to them they were open till 4 pm I arrived at 2:50 and it was locked tight and dark. I was really looking forward to visiting. Businesses NEED to keep there hours rite I drove 40 mins to get there."

"Went flea market hunting and came to a couple spots in the area. Found this awesome spot in ct. Two floors of anything you can find, decent prices, found some cool little gems and random finds. Will love to come back and explore some more."
