Classic Attic

Good mix of items. Customer service hit or miss. Some super nice. Others not. Easy access and location behind Park Road shopping center.

The Classic Attic is the first place I go when I need furniture or decorative items for my home, or for one of a kind gifts for others. From dining room supplies (sterling and silver plate) to beautiful, framed, hand-​tinted hunting prints, Baccarat wine glasses to heavy sumptuous drapes, I have found it all here. AND if what you want isn’t there now, it soon will be. My personal style is eclectic but leans toward English country with an elegant but warm and comfy feeling. I am never disappointed at the Classic Attic, and feel Charlotte is lucky to have this fantastic resource. Reusing is the ultimate recycling, green-​minded way to live.

You never know what might be waiting at this consignment store– a mirror, a chandelier (their selection is usually fabulous!), window treatments, or a lamp… who knows!?!
This is a consignment store and not a thrift store– the prices reflect this.
Their inventory turns over quickly. As a former client and a current customer, I can attest to that!
They can be a bit rude, or I would give 4-​stars. I do appreciate and expect friendly customer service as a consumer.
I have found some unique treasures here, so I continue to peruse!

For those of you true antique-​ers in the Charlotte area, this place is for you. It is a real antique store; the kind that has that musty sort of smell when you walk in, of a compilation of scents from all of the old houses the items came from many years ago. The kind of place where no matter which direction you decide to begin scouring, you will instantly find a doll staring at you that freaks the crap out of you and makes you jump out of your own skin. This is that place.
Although it is located behind the Park Road Shopping Center, and a bit hard to find, people definitely know it is here — there were several people shopping around and a few who were pulling up their cars to load up furniture pieces. Among the items I saw where a freaky paper mache bunny with a haunting picture of a little girl, an old and dusty lamp that was a brass elephant, and several old bird cages. In the middle of everything was an almost new looking set up pottery barn dishes, the young one amongst all the old timers.
No employee here asked me if I needed help during my stay, which is the way it should be, given it is an antique store and people come here in search of things that only they will know when they see. It would have felt wrong for someone to offer assistance unless asked. If you are into the old furniture and home décor, you should definitely swing by this place. Just be prepared to scavenge your way through.
