Very happy customer!
I bought an antique table via auction and am very happy with what I received. Condition was exactly as described and measurements were accurate and the photos were very descriptive. I used the shipping company they recommended and shipping went exactly as expected and my table arrived in perfect condition. I am extremely happy with this transaction from start to finish.

Excellent Description and Pictures, Prompt and Reasonable Shipping
This is the second time I have won a lot at a Direct Auction Galleries auction; I am once again extremely satisfied. The description and pictures of the lot accurately and clearly conveyed the condition of the artwork. The piece arrived exactly as it was described and captured in the pictures. I opted for in-house shipping, which was astoundingly prompt: the item was packed and a shipping label was printed within 30 minutes of me selecting in-house shipping; the item arrived at my door two business days later (packaged well and in excellent condition). The in-house shipping fee was reasonable. I highly recommend this auction house, and I look forward to bidding on their items again in the future!
