This is a historic business, founded in 1842. The sales people are all super nice and professional. The furnishings/furniture quality is excellent. The reason i do not give it the highest rating is that it is a super conservative store, with conservative pieces, almost a dated feel to the store. The selections are not unusual or unique. More

Hildreth's is charm itself. It carries items as diverse as kitchen knives to luxury bedding to custom draperies to notions! And its great age (oldest department store in America!) means the building just rambles...the flreakywide plank hardwood floors, and staircases go up one place and come down somewhere else...magical!

If y ou need anything for the home, this is the spot. The staff is very helpful and knowledgeable. Many times I end of going to Gracious HOmes in the city and then find out that I could have gotten most of it right in Southampton! More

The store is wonderful, the creeking wood floor are reminiscent of days gone by and the variety of inventory can't be found in any "department" store today. My favorite department is the lamps and lampshades - believe it or not! The prices are high - but this IS the Hamptons, but a walk through is nothing short of delightful. More

Anything you need for home, Hildreth's has it! They are, if I remember correctly, the oldest continual store in the US. They carry furniture, lamps, dishes, housewares, lamps: everything. Sometimes I've gotten small things like place mats, other times, I've gotten outdoor furniture. All of it is charming and country-ish. More

I always love to browse through Hildreth's! They have beautiful items and home decor pieces that any beach home must have! They always seem to be on the cutting edge of home fashion ideas and trends. More

casey1280 you sound like you are beyond a snob and that is probably why they were so rude to you and giving each other looks. I loved this place. I too have a house out in South Hampton and I love this store, I find the staff to be charming and the items to be good quality. The history of... More

My friend was visiting me at my Southampton house recently and we went into town. This is actually the first time I went into Hildreth's because I heard from a friend not to waste my time. I was looking for an item and although not helping anyone the staff stated they were too busy to help me look for items.... More
