Prior worker.
It's a small family owned business with 2 owners, most of the furniture is imported from India with some occasional pieces coming from elsewhere in the world. Very few pieces are locally mad if any at all. The store does fit a "Low Country" vibe. Prices are moderate for the quality, but what can you expect from a locally owned business.
The employees are always going to be willing to help you! They do not work on commission so the passion to be helpful is just their nature.
Personal Experiences.
I loved my job at Old Charleston Trading Company. I was promoted after 2 years from sales associate to store manager, and that's when the issues began. The owners could never be on the same page about what they would like for me to accomplish as a store manager, one would tell me I'm going above and beyond. The other would tell me I'm not doing enough, and when asked how to direct my crew or what he would like me to do, I would only be met with dissenting remarks on I should know what to do even though the primary functions of my job were completed. I felt very unappreciated. After I had left the business I recieved messages and screenshots from current and prior employees showing me how bad the aforementioned owner spoke of me while I was ill. It was heartbreaking to see he felt so little of me, knowing I had devoted 3 years of my life trying to do as they asked while completing my job as store manager. Every performance review I has was positive, and I always asked for direction and how they wanted the store to be set going forward to no avail.
While my review may be biased, and a bit long, I cannot support businesses that treat people poorly. and I hope the other employees, current and future, are not subjected to the treatment
I endured.

Awesome place and awesome people. Have purchased many items from them over the years and have never had a bad experience. We live over an hour away and still find a reason to go by there a few times a year.

Always impressed with the service and selection at Old Charleston Trading Company, but this past time they went a step above! We purchased a dresser to match the nightstands we just purchased here and when it arrived, it was missing a the screws for the legs. Called in and Jim quickly ordered the parts and even offered to stop by to put them on for us! A+ like always here!
