I found a fainting couch from Curiozity Shoppe through a Craigslist listing. It was in amazing condition and the price was much lower than I would have expected. The actual piece was in their other location (near 11001 York Rd.), so I did not get to see it before I purchased it. Donna was very honest about the piece though and let me know about a small problem with it before I considered buying it. I first spoke to her on 7/13. I let her know I wanted the piece and she was happy to reserve it for me until I could pick it up on 7/17. She even went to the location where it was after she closed the shop to allow me to pick it up after work.
Overall, the service I received was excellent. Donna was not pushy at all, which I found some consignment/antique dealers to be. She was genuinely friendly and helpful. From the conversations I overheard with other customers in the shop, she is extremely knowledgable about the pieces she sells. Also, the prices were extremely good for the quality of the items being sold. I would absolutely go back to Curiozity Shoppe any time I am looking for furniture or unique decorations.
Just a note on the location: my GPS sent me to the wrong place at first. 75 W Timonium Rd. is not in the same parking lot as About Faces. It is on the same side of the street that the Red Roof Inn is, just across the street and next to McCormick's Paints.
