Nice place, large, good selection of parts for your old house. I found a key for a buffet that have been looking for for years. Note that they have three floors, but also note that the upper two floors are not heated so dress appropriately. Everything is very nicely organized. I wish I did not leave an hour and a half away.

I like to stop in and check out their inventory. Sometimes the prices seem a little high, but I have found cool and useful items (iron claw foot tub included)! I love their whole mission and recommend you to check them out.

I was in dire need of a window pole to open a transom widow, located at the top of a stairwell in my apartment building, on the hottest day of the year (thus far). Im not sure who the two I spoke with over the phone or in person were, but both were incredibly kind and helpful. I just picked up the pole and was able to open the window which dramatically cooled down the stairwell and the buildings third floor. I highly recommend this this company for 1) they resell historic materials which is great for the environment, 2) they support historic preservation, 3) they have a system in place to educate youth on sustainable work, 4) they are very kind and down-to-earth. 10/10 would go to them again.

This is a great, great resource. Alphonse and his crew have done a magnificent job. Everyone is helpful and friendly, the prices are very reasonable, and the assortment of things--from antique furniture to hardware to a great selection of lumber, windows, and tiles--is a delight to browse (and buy!). Find your treasure today at Significant Elements!

Please be cautious purchasing from this store. I purchased a piece of furniture (for a decent price) and when it was picked up the next day, the hardware had been stripped. When I called to speak to a manager regarding this, I was informed that the dresser was certainly not changed and had been there for years even though it was not marked before I bought it. The only solution that I was offered was a store credit, which is pretty useless considering they wont be getting any of my future business.The other reviews regarding the variety and history of items available are certainly true, but PLEASE dont leave anything there for pick up later, you may not get what you paid for.I have posted the same review at multiple sites in hopes of reaching as many people as possible, this is not how customers deserve to be treated, weather or not they are purchasing previously owned items.
