Class and Trash Thrift Antiques

There is quite literally something for everyone at Class and Trash. For the unseasoned thrift/​antique shopper, it may be a bit overwhelming. You may see a beautiful buffet table for several hundred dollars next to an old rickety contraption that you can’t identify. It truly is a mixture of class and trash. I think the upstairs area is mostly other vendors, some of whom run specials for their own booths.
The best way to remain «in the know,» is to join the Class and Trash Facebook group. (anyone can join) There, they post photos of items as they come in, or feature pieces around the shop.
I often feel as if C&T is geared toward the customer who wants to thrift/​antique but doesn’t know where to start or how to improve older items. This is a great place to get started, but the already «fixed up» pieces tend to be a bit pricier.

I’ve been to Class and Trash several times. I find the prices to be too high. As stated by other reviewers you can find the same things for less at other local shops. The owner is nice.

This place is FANTASTIC. So much to look at resonable pricing. Place you can spend some time in. But the best part is the owners. Wonderful people who care about their customers. A great place to visit.

best thrift and vintage furnishings in the richmond area. staff and customer service are great. prices are very affordable. two thumbs up!

Lots of great antique pieces at incredibly reasonable prices. They seem to get new items in weekly, so there’s always something new to look at.

Well I’ll start by saying that the owner and shop keep woman were very nice. Upside.
Downside, (and I’ll get right to it) They know they’re gouging you on prices for items by the looks on their faces when they «haggle» with you. (And the fact that most other joints have the same crap for much cheaper)
A lot of the items here are over priced. There isn’t much «trash» here to buy from … Just junk like busted old bottles they’ll like to sell you at 5 – 10 bucks a pop, even if you dug ‘em out of the dirt yourself … (just because it’s old doesn’t mean it’s treasure.)
All this being said go back up the road a bit to the flea market on the corner, same stuff but the prices are infinitely better.
I’d come back for specifics only, realizing I’m not getting a deal and I’m paying out of my husbands account… ;)
Old bottles — 3 $ –100 $ depending on what and how many
Furniture — 80 $ and up
Knick knacks — 10 $ & up
Shutters (old wooden) 30 $ & up
Furs — 30 $ & up
Name it — $ & up & up & up & up …
You get the picture.

One of my favorite places to pick! They have two stories of treasures waiting to be discovered and an outside area. If you like to dig and get a little dirty… Class or Trash is your place. I always leave with something. Prices are affordable and the staff members are a delight.

The absolutely worst place… it is dirty, no room to move around, more junk than anything, no one to help. There was one lady working the day I went, and she was trying to help. However, the place was so full of things there was no way she could tell who was speaking to her. Therefore, she started answering someone else’s questions, and my question never got an answer.
Once I had this experience, I decided I would never go back to this place anymore. However, a friend talked me into going with her once more. It started out to be better than the previous visit, and I even bought a couple pieces of furniture. Once my purchase was paid for I had to wait on my friend. Therefore, I asked if they had some way to deliver my furniture, and a woman behind the counter told me yes. She asked where I lived, and told me it would be $ 45 for delivery. Therefore, I agreed and paid for a delivery, but it took over a month before my mdse. was ever delivered. In addition, once it was delivered I discovered pieces missing off the furniture. I called and asked if someone could please look for these pieces and was told sure. However, I had to call again the next day to ask if anyone had a chance to look for the two pieces missing, and was told yes, but no one could find them «sorry» and hung up. I asked to speak to the owner and was told they were not there, but I would receive a call from one of them in the next few days. It has been four months and no one has ever called to say sorry or anything.
I would like to be able to give this business a good review, but my experience was not a good one.

Niki was extremely helpful. I was looking for a very particular item when I called, she took the time to search it out, take a picture and text it to me, all within ½ an hour. It worked perfect for me and my client. Thanks so much Niki! I will be back when I can spend more time browsing.

Calling all DIY-​ers! If you haven’t been to C&T, then you better run –not walk– to your car and put the pedal to the metal.
What looks like an old building with a junkyard next to an auto shop is actually a haven for hidden treasures. True, you have to sort through the goods to find that perfect piece of furniture just waiting for a makeover, but once you do you’ll be thanking your lucky stars.
The shop itself is two floors, with the upstairs housing some already refinished pieces along with those in need of a little TLC. The downstairs carries a mix of large items (some in pretty darn good condition) along with random goods like mirrors and chairs. I’ve scored some stellar finds including a small wooden chest that I stripped and repainted that now sits proudly in my dining room. I’m still kicking myself for not scooping up a blanket rack when I had the chance! It would have made the perfect accent piece for my living room once painted a bright color.
The best part about C&T? Even when I don’t find anything that must come home with me, I still gain inspiration for future projects! The shop’s name is on point; it’s the perfect place for classin’ up someone else’s trash.

I visited Class and Trash after a long search for antique chairs. Though the color wasn’t what I had in mind for my place, I did not walk away empty handed. This place is chock-​full of tons of thrifty antiques — furniture, rugs and tons of knick knacks. With two floors full of stuff, you will always find something you need (or just have to have). The prices are very reasonable, but they do offer pieces for the more tasteful buyers willing to pay more for certain antiques. The owner, Lisa, is super friendly and she even told me about the other local antique shops nearby, but they didn’t even compare to her shop.
Class and Trash is the epitome of what is one man’s trash, is another man’s treasure. Highly recommend this place!

After reading the other reviews we knew we had to check it out. Lots of great nostalgic items that we enjoyed looking and digging through. It’s a little more on the expensive side, but it is an antique shop. We usually patronize The Salvation Army and the better quality Goodwill Stores. Found a couple of items to purchased and will check out again in the future. The owners are very nice and helpful, but don’t expect them to negotiate on the price under the $ 75+ — price range. Even if it was only for a dollar it would have made the experience a little more fun and would feel more like a win win. Which is why I gave it 4 stars.

Cute little place. While reading Michelle A’s review I knew I had to come and visit this place and experience it for myself.
Seemed like this place was popular due to the amount of cars parked outside; but later realized the cars could’ve been from the auto-​mechanic garage next door. :) Anyway, I walked in and was surprised! This place was huge — two stories full of treasured good. Made my way around the first floor, but I couldn’t get pass the pile of clutter obstructing my train of thought.
That’s my only complaint about this place — most consignment shops I’ve visited create sections where you can easily browse each item in its designated area. It wasn’t the case here — things were just everywhere. You literally have to rummage through stuff. Most of the stuff being sold were dusty — to some this is a good thing, it shows its age? I was indifferent about the dust, I mean coming from Phoenix, AZ the dust what minor. The name of this place suits itself.
It’s fun walking around thinking about what things you could buy for your place to make it feel like home. The things being sold here really add character to your home; it gives it some relevant history even though the history behind the thing you’re buying is unknown, but if you’re creative you can always make something up. :)

After so many Saturdays of meaning to venture to Class and Trash, I finally went; and wow, it was absolutely worth it. This place is crammed with so much good fashioned vintage, shab-​chic, and plainly old stuff that I needed to borrow the shopkeeper’s notepad to remember all the things I wanted to shove in my car. I’m definitely going back soon… the prices are quite reasonable, and the variety is swell.

A fantastic random road trip discovery — thanks early Unilocalers!
Two floors of vintage: furniture, dishes, books, «stuff». The layout is a bit cramped and full of nooks and crannies, but makes the treasure hunt that much more exciting.
The owner is a sweetie pie, even if she wouldn’t budge on the prices.

I find the coolest stuff here, it is my favorite thrift /​junk /​antique store. :)

I am giving this spot a 5 star review due to the fact that it has become my defacto last stop for things I have not been able to find elsewhere. While it is almost in Ashland, VA, the ability to almost always fine a «treasure» is worth the drive, especially if you can work other errands in while in the Virginia Center Commons shopping district.
Most recently I bought two great outdoor tables for 18 dollars each. Both are the prefect size to use as side tables and both are mid century aluminum and won’t rust. I am a fan of using already manufactured items as my way of keeping my Eco footprint smaller.
The place is chuck full of everything: outdoor furniture, indoor furniture, decorative items, architectural relics, stained glass, brick a brack etc. They do not take great pains to merchandise this store and it pretty much gets dropped and tagged for sale. This is what makes it such a great find. They do not spend money reconditioning, merchandising or cleaning the stuff they buy so the savings is passed on to you.
The second floor is a little more «together» as it is where the consignment pieces tend to be. The couple who owns the place can find you anything and are always willing to work with you on price/​condition etc. Of special interest is the unusually large amount of vintage metal and aluminum outdoor furniture. There are also some great mid-​century finds if you look.
Come here with a hunter’s mind set and you will not be disappointed!

This is a great thrift and antique store, with everything from architectural salvage items (I just bought an antique mantle salvaged from an old house in downtown Richmond) to old hand tools to lawn furniture to antique bedroom sets to cheap furniture you can paint or use for projects. You’ve got to go in and dig around a little bit, the place is huge and there are a ton of items to sift through… but you can find some real gems! And if you can’t find what you are looking for, ask one of the owners– they know the place inside and out, and can point you towards just about anything!
