Editorial Review for Father & Son Antiques – by Zach Hanner
In Short
Walk through the front door of Father & Son, and you're immediately transported to a time when men came home from a day at the office, fired up a briar pipe, donned slippers and sipped away at a dry martini. Full of modernist goodies, this store will make you burn every furniture catalog you've got stacked in the corner. Chosen with a collector's eye, each piece is furniture as craft, not pre-fab product.

I made my second and final trip to Father & Sons today. The first time I went, back in the Spring, I thought it was pretty cool, if a bit overpriced. Today, it was junky, hard to move around, nothing in any semblance of order, there were two "mobiles" hanging up for $8. that were for sale @ Target on clearance a month ago for $.25. A deer Christmas ornament from Wal-Mart for $.97 was for sale for $3. It could be a much cooler place with some degree of order. Some of the art for sale was REALLY cool, well done and appropriately priced. Some of it looks like a kindergartner did it. I also went to "Stuff" for the first time today - if you like F&S, you'll love Stuff. They don't have as much, but it is orderly and much better priced.
Pros: Kitsch, Funky, Unusual Items
Cons: Overpriced, Junky

While I am glad that someone in the area is supporting second-hand designed and retro furniture etc, the prices at father & son are a bit over the top, and have been getting more absurd lately. I still shop there, but i usually leave a little annoyed.
