Artie's Antiques 1302 West Taylor Street, Griffin, GA 30223

"Only chairs and stacked to the rims ND could not look."

"Thought it might be a store. The building is packed to one small pathway with possible avalanches on both sides. Whoever owns this has not seen most of the stuff crammed in that building for years. 95% of the building is inaccessible, The 5% of pathway, most wouldn't try walking through. I suppose it's more for restoration and repair, I don't know...Couldn't find a person to ask."

"The owner seems to be an inconsiderate... person. I asked him if some furniture was of value to him. He answered, Do I look like I need furniture and proceeded to tell me how big his store was where I was and that he had two or three more locations in Atlanta. Did you try Craigslist? he asked. I said I'm not trying to sell it. I wanted to contribute to his success. He piped down but basically stopped talking to me and started talking to these two men working for him. He even spoke down to them. Hurry up, work faster, I don't pay you to take breaks or something very similar. Not the attitude I remembered from 10 or so years ago. May I met his father before he took over. I'm really not sure. Update: Mom got work done on table. Was told it was an original ____. (Forgot the name.) Charged $550 to fix and refinish table. Put hot plate on table over some thick material. Did minor damage to table, but made it look terrible. Had to take the table and fix "finish?" There was no clear coat to protect dining room table finish from normal use. I think my mom was misled. Not a $32,000 to $54,000 antique and not a $550 refinishing job."

"I had 3 rocking chairs that were at least 100 years old that I needed to have the back and seats re caned. Artie striped the old paint, sanded and repaired a few things that needed to be done. He caned them and they looked awesome! I am so glad I found him. He done all in about 2 1/2 weeks which was amazing. I would will gladly refer him more customers."

"My 1 star is for customer service, or lack there of. I wish I could rate the service but I can't because they never returned my phone calls (yes, calls is plural with an "s")."
