We just purchased this old factory cart coffee table from Brooksvale Artisans, and love it!

Amazing selection of vintage tools, industrial items, and more. The place is pretty wild, nothing quite like it in the area. Items are not well organized so be prepared to do some digging. The owner is a cool dude.

I originally found this seller through Etsy and was interested in purchasing their large letterpress typeset drawers to use for displaying my crystals. I reached out to inquire about bundle shipping for two to save on costs. The seller was very kind and quick to respond and had my order ready with a much cheaper shipping cost via UPS than what Etsy was offering through USPS. My drawers arrived incredibly fast and in perfect condition- I couldn’t be happier and will 100% be back for more! Thanks so much!

I bought a bench vise from Brooksvale and had it delivered to my home in Georgia. Communication was good and I am pleased with my purchase. Thanks!

If you are looking for vintage tools, machines, or any industrial items, materials, parts, work benches, or any of the thousands of incredible things ,then this place is absolutely amazing! Just know that this is not Ikea or Harbor frieght- the vast assortment of items here at brooksvale artisans are dusty, dirty, and stacked and piled in a way that those who know the awesomeness of what we have can appreciate. We go far and get dirty ourselves in finding and aquiring these items and we pride ourselves in being able to tell you the purpose, and history , of everything we offer. We are here for those of you who appreciate and love what we have and for those people who appreciate finding and buying the exact tool , work bench , or machine, that they need for their business to get the job done. Lastly, for those of you like the obnoxious and belligerent woman who threatened us with horrible reviews on every social media platform today because SHE mistakenly read information wrong and could not have things as she demanded- well, hopefully you and your therapist can work on your bitterness and anger and sense of entitlement. If you work your issues out, and your therapist thinks it's ok for you to return to the scene of your meltdown, come on back and I'm sure we can come to terms on the item you so much wanted. BROOKSVALE ARTISANS - WE AIM TO PLEASE.

Place is both amazing and insane. There are two areas and the hours to public are short, but if you have the chance and right time in a Saturday it's breathtaking.

I've been looking for a large flat file for a long time. They had a large selection and helped me through the selection process, then refinished it nicely. It looks great, and service was good. I also got it delivered, and didn't have to contact a third party for delivery, which simplified the process quite a bit. Thank you!

Wow! This is some place else. Never seen a place like this. Lots of vintage industrial machinery and tools. An incredible place, if you're into antiques and/or tools. I highly recommend a visit.
