"I am oh so pleased that I stumbled across Salvage Place! I am smitten by their carefully curated collections and love my purchases. The service was incredible - fast and friendly. Probably just as well they're at the other end of the country or it could get very dangerous! Thank you, William and Lily - love your work."
