I saw the most beautiful console and dresser on their website, but I had questions to ask before placing the order. The response was immediate and kind, and their patience was fantastic too. The items arrived quickly and safely, and I couldn't be happier. Pricing is more than fair. Definitely planning on placing more orders in the near future.

Beautiful airy store with lots of great items! They have antiques, vintage furniture as well as shelves full of very current decor items. Very unique lighting fixtures - many are artisan made & 1 or 2 of a kind♡. This is a great place for unique gifts. They had parking right out front & an easily accessible ramp. Just go! You won't be disappointed ♡

I had to share my recent experience at Through the Porthole, the vintage shop in San Pedro. I stumbled upon them last year at the Vintage Junction and fell in love with their unique pieces. This time, I made the drive from SCV to check out their storefront, and I'm so glad I did! The team at Through the Porthole is incredibly friendly and welcoming. They have such a good eye for styling, and their store is a treasure trove of amazing finds. I recently bought a desk and a beautiful vintage console table, and I couldn't be happier with my purchases. The prices are surprisingly good, which is always a plus. It's evident that Through the Porthole is family-owned, and that personal touch really shines through. They make you feel like part of the family as soon as you walk in the door. Thanks, Through the Porthole, for the fantastic experience! I'll definitely be coming back for more, and I can't wait to see what other gems I'll find. You guys are the best!
