We had spent a lot of time trying to find somewhere to put our sola flower wedding bouquet to keep it safe. We were so happy to find a cabinet that was perfect for it at Boardwalk Thrift Store! The cabinet was in amazing condition and had an unbeatable price. Tim and Linda were so kind, helpful, and accommodating regarding our efforts in getting it in our car to take home. The store was well organized, clean, charming, and has great items! I highly recommend Boardwalk Thrift Store!
