David’s On The Avenue

When it comes to this type of store where you’re looking at used/​consignment pieces, it could very easily be a disaster. David’s consistently has great pieces at great prices. If you’re not a regular, or you don’t follow them on facebook, your David’s experience will be a roll of the dice. It’s very rare that the truly amazing pieces stay in the store for long. If you want to strike gold here, you need to put in the time and effort, so you can’t really fault the store for having such a ravenous customer base. All that being said, this is a great place, and I’ll always make it a point to see what they have to offer.

I have not yet purchased furniture from David’s, so I can only speak to consigning, but they were awesome to deal with. Very straightforward, friendly, easy to deal with, honest about what they thought they could sell our dresser for. We dropped it off and had a check in our mailbox (for 50% if I remember correctly) about 4 weeks later. I live in the neighborhood and the storefront looks like something you would just pass by — but DON’T! Lots of great stuff in there.

My house is almost entirely furnished with used furniture because it’s better quality. The new (famous brand) dining table I purchased around 2003 is already falling apart. Think it’s the odd way they screw them together these days Definitely some kind of Ikea weirdness. Shoddy. I refinish the furniture, sometimes, but I don’t always. I got a beautiful, large Federal Style dresser at Davids for under $ 100. Friendly, helpful staff too. It’s just hard to park on the Avenue sometimes. I’m not positive they have a loading zone, but I could be wrong.

This is our favorite used furniture place in Baltimore, but it really depends on the day you drop by. Sometimes we haven’t found anything. Sometimes we love tons of stuff but it won’t fit in our house. We’ve already bought a dining table and couches and we usually take out of town friends there if they are looking for finds. The prices are always on point. Friendly staff and everything is in great condition. Love this place!

So David’s is great. Even if they didn’t offer me enough for my cute ottoman. :)
We purchased a few things from them over the years and the service is always great. The selection is ok. Nothing to blow you away; however there’s always that one or two things that catch your eye. For instance I went in today and saw a nice couch I would actually consider getting. You know, this place is good for the one or two eclectic items that you want but had no intention of buying. :)
So you can consign your items here or Davids will buy you out for a fraction of what they intend to sell it for. For instance I was told they would sell my ottoman for $ 49, so they would give me $ 10 for it. That would be great but I love selling on craigslist and someone was willing to pay that same price. I guess i’d rather sell to a person than a business. Hmmm.
Its like going to a yard sale that’s open everyday. :) Have fun.

Great selection of stuff, awesome prices and the selection changes almost daily… i bought an amazing MCM couch for my living room for 350…
I stop by here frequently to check out all the cool and new stuff they have available…
This is one of my favorite BMore stores!!!

I was hoping to be more blown away since the reviews here were so high, but after discovering some really stellar vintage/​consignment/​used furniture shops lately I have to say that David’s paled in comparison. It wasn’t bad, just not standout. More items were just old, not unique and few of the items had a lot of character, which is imperative to me as I am shopping for vintage furniture. I am still looking for items for our remodeling/​redecorating ventures and have seen a bunch of shops in the Baltimore area. So far, Dawn’s in Charles Village is my favorite in terms of variety and quality. Maybe my two visits to David’s were off days and they sold all the great stuff already… but something tells me «maybe not.» Solid 3-​stars.

I was impressed with the selection and affordability of the furniture. They are currently holding a dining room table for me which is sweet beyond belief. I love the random selection of furniture– there’s bound to be something for just about any taste. From retro/​vintage to antique or new. Love it.

So I’ve never paid money for a couch before. Finally, the time came. I knew I didn’t want to spring for a brand new one — just new to me. The staff at David’s always greeted me with a smile and helped me think through the important things I needed to consider (will that fit through your door hon?) The selection was great and there’s always something new and interesting in their inventory. When I found the perfect set they scheduled a delivery for first thing the very next day. For a beyond reasonable price their expert delivery guys hauled it up to my third floor apartment. I couldn’t be happier with my purchase. I’ll be back.

Putting the words «used furniture» in the name of the store is a bit daunting — but David’s has the most amazing (and fantastically priced) old and vintage furniture in all of Baltimore.
I’m on a quest to find a dining room table that isn’t flimsy and made of that weird Ikeaish plastic wood — but at Ikea prices. Dining room tables are hard to find!
David’s has such a big selection of retro furniture — there were at least 12 different options in all shapes and sizes, some with chairs and without. And their prices were incredible. I could get a solid wood round table with three chairs for 60 dollars. Or a much bigger one for 160 dollars with 6 chairs.
Needless to say — I’m sold. Picked out a table. And took it home.
I recommend checking out David’s for anything — dressers, bed frames, chairs, couches. They may not be new stuff — but there’s more personality in that furniture then there is in all of Ikea.
Added bonus: Crazy crazy stuff. Like a velor pink, green and yellow striped couch. I must have it.

Half of our house is furnished in David’s furniture. The stock changes daily and there is almost always some amazing piece of furniture for a ridiculously low price. The stock ranges from cheap and functional to cheap and delightfully tacky to cheap and collectible.
The glass case at the checkout is chock friggin’ full of pre-​sorted Orioles baseball cards from all eras and only a few bucks a case– the act of sorting them all out is worth the price alone, much less that cards themselves.
