About the shop
Heck's Things and Things is a massive two-floor indoor flea market in Berlin, CT offering an overwhelming selection of vintage furniture, home decor, tools, collectibles, and unique finds at budget-friendly prices.

The maze-like layout and constantly changing inventory make it a half-day destination for bargain hunters. Owner David and his friendly staff offer bundle deals and free coffee.
