Mid Century Møbler

When is a sale not a sale?!
Found six beautiful mid-​century modern chairs. Negotiated with the manager who consulted with the owner. Price agreed upon, credit card charged; appointment made to pick fabric for reupholstery. On the day of the appointment, the manager contacted us advising that the owner wanted an additional $ 450 or we could cancel and take a refund. There is an integrity issue here. Caveat emptor.

My husband and I could not be happier with our purchase. The items arrived in perfect condition, and were brought into our kitchen by competent and careful delivery men. I have a feeling this will not be my last order from Mid Century Mobler.
Thank you very much!

The best mid century furniture spot in the Bay Area that I know about! A really well curated collection of beautiful furniture. They are super quick in responding, really knowledgeable and nice, and they delivered my piece in just a couple of days.

This store is like Don Draper’s secret selection. Highly recommend for unique and well looked after pieces of outstanding furniture.

Gorgeous furniture, immense selection and customer service that goes beyond. Jason is especially magical, but everyone here is exceptionally helpful and courteous. They delivered our dreamy credenza, and we got a sweet tote bag and furniture polish gratis. I tell everyone and their mom go here. A mid-​century fanatic’s dream-​come-​true!

This is a much overdue review for Julian and his team at Midcentury Mobler. Julian is so knowledgeable and helpful. I wandered into his store recently relocated to Berkeley in December 2015 looking for a credenza/​buffet. Julian helped me find a gorgeous rosewood by A. H. McIntosh. His team lovingly finished it, and it looks fabulous. We also found an amazing wardrobe, also in rosewood, that is modular and somewhat reminiscent of IKEA, although much better quality. Julian and his colleague delivered both items, including reassembling the wardrobe. I will definitely be a returning customer, and highly recommend this business. You will love meeting Julian.

Third purchase complete and it’s another home run! This time we bought a new Streamline custom sofa. We had so many questions and Julian worked with us over the phone and via email to select the perfect size and color. Couldn’t be happier with the fabric! And once again, the item arrived in CT surrounded by a fortress of foam and wood… even the shipping company commented on the packaging quality! Thanks so much. We’ll be back for more!

I can’t say enough good things about Mid Century Mobler. We love mid-​century and this place was like a wonderland. We were looking for a credenza and had whittled our choices down to about 4. Julian was super helpful answering questions, taking measurements, giving us history on each piece. He was super supportive and helpful without being pushy. You can tell he truly has a love of mcm and has an almost encyclopedic knowledge of each piece, which is impressive.
We picked our credenza, check out was fast, and it was delivered a few days later. WE LOVE IT! Thanks for making us look like grown ups!
We’ll definitely be back when we’re in the market for something else.

Love this place and the sales person was very friendly and helpful. Hope to be back to make a purchase soon!

Just moved to a cool loft and decided to decorate in mid century modern. I saw 2 chairs (Z chairs) on this site but had some questions. Julian was so responsive and helpful. Once I made my decision, he let me know that production would be started the very next day and within 3 weeks my chairs were complete and sent from California to Kentucky. They arrived packaged so very well that nothing could have happened to them. I received a call the day before to confirm delivery and work out any details. They were in perfect condition and were prettier than I even expected. Fine craftsmanship and amazing fabric! I would buy from Mid Century Mobler again in a minute!!!

My wife and I just moved to the South Bay and realized that we needed to upgrade to some «adult» furniture. Finding Mid Century Mobler was a real coup. This is an amazing store! First, it’s huge! If you have a love of mid century modern furniture, this place engulfs you in glorious inventory! Each and every piece is top quality, and the selection can’t be beat. Other reviewers have pointed out that it’s a rabbit hole of epic proportions. That’s an understatement!
Julian was an amazing ambassador of furniture. His depth of knowledge about every piece in the store was impressive and so helpful. We discussed the types of furniture we were looking for and he directed us to several options that were perfect. They had everything we wanted. The most difficult part of the experience was stopping!
Setting up delivery with Jason couldn’t have been easier. He was super communicative and made the whole process painless. And when he showed up with our furniture so carefully packed in their delivery van, it looked even more fantastic than it did in the store. They had cleaned and waxed each piece before sending it to us. Clearly, customer service is really important to them.
If it sounds like I’m gushing, it’s because I am. These folks are truly the best. And their prices are great for the quality furniture they carry. I look forward to going back and finding more treasures, as soon as I «need» some more furniture…

Truly outstanding selection and customer service. Rare finds, top notch quality, and salespeople with deep knowledge and enthusiasm for the era and the craftsmen. Word of warning: it’s a rabbit hole! If you’re into vintage furniture, you may end up spending much more time and money here than you expected. Sure is fun though!

Amazing wharehouse in west berkeley that has an equally amazing selection of all things mid-​century. Reasonably priced and great customer service! (thank you Jason). I bought a credenza there about a month two months ago and couldn’t be happier with it. All with in-​home delivery within a couple days! I will definitely be back soon to add more pieces to my collection.

I love this place. Their furniture is amazing — great for a statement piece. The service is amazing and there is parking! I love love love my new cocktail bar that I bought there — its changed my living room. Great condition and a beautiful piece. Thank you!

Mid-​Century Møbler has developed quite a reputation in the Bay area and beyond (I’ve met furniture store owners in Oregon who shop with them) for hard-​to-​find mid-​century and Danish pieces. Their move to a larger space in Berkeley provides a much improved shopping experience. The space better showcases the extent of their collection, which they often refresh with compelling new finds from their trips to Copenhagen.
The quality and breadth of their collection aside, what really struck me about my shopping experience was the service. Jason is incredibly knowledgeable and very friendly. I learned a lot from him as he took me from piece to piece explaining the craftsmanship, history and providing very honest assessments of his collection. After walking around the store and learning about the pieces with Jason, I was better able to articulate what I was looking for and he found something that was perfect for me.
Jason was also very flexible, allowing me to put the piece on hold for a week (with a deposit) as I made a final decision. I never felt rushed and when I did purchase, he happily accommodated my schedule for delivery. I spent many weeks shopping around the Bay area and online looking for furniture but never found anything as appealing as the pieces at Mid-​Century. It has now been a couple of weeks since I made my purchase and I feel excellent about my new furniture. Not only am I thrilled with the piece but also with my experience at Mid-​Century. I highly recommend a visit.

We bought a dining table from Mid Century Mobler in November, after realizing we probably needed something other than a small Ikea table for 10 guests at Thanksgiving dinner. The whole experience was dreamy. Julian, the owner, was knowledgable and very helpful. We have a smallish living room/​dining room so were looking for table that would seat 4 and extend to seat 10. To our surprise, he had many options (unlike the internet). We found a gorgeous table that had just been restored — it looked brand new despite being more than 50 years old. We initially left without purchasing the table but then couldn’t get it out of our heads, so called back a few hours later. Customer service was second to none. They delivered the table to our house, set it up for us, and gave us some instructions on how to care for it. We couldn’t be happier and will definitely be back for more pieces now that we’ve made the jump to owning actual, grown-​up furniture.

Superb inventory. I have only ordered online; everything that I have purchased is exactly as pictured and as described. Excellent service. Pieces are very well packed and have arrived undamaged. For better or worse, limited floor space in my residence precludes me buying them out! I began acquiring Scandinavian furniture 40-​plus years ago and I’m glad that I found Mid Century Møbler as an enabler in this addiction.

I have ordered 3 amazing Danish pieces separately from Julian and Mobler and I have nothing but great things to say. I live in Southern Cali and the shipping was always on point and they arrived safe and sound. He is very easy to work with and is a lot of help making everything go smooth. I will always buy future pieces here and even when I’m not looking to buy just browsing the inventory makes me giddy. Love this place ! I only wish I lived closer so I could walk it in person.

I just received the desk I purchased online from Mid Century Møbler’s Etsy shop. It is gorgeous! Julian made the whole experience a real pleasure. He encouraged me to ask questions and was readily available to answer them with detailed information. His enthusiasm for the furniture was apparent. I felt more like I was being educated about Danish Modern furniture than being given a sales pitch. When I decided on the piece, he made the process of having it shipped across the country easy and completely smooth. He gave me access to the tracking information and the phone number to the movers, who provided «white glove» service. So, when you’re ready to fall in love (or more deeply in love) with Danish Modern, this is the place. For kind, helpful, friendly and knowledgable people and the best of the best in furniture quality.

Julian, the owner, was very helpful and extremely knowledgeable about Mid-​Century style furniture. I bought a 1960’s danish coffee table that was a real find. I live in Phoenix, and was concerned about the shipping. It arrived ahead for schedule and in perfect condition for the holiday season. Thank you for the shipping break too. My family will enjoy this awesome treasure for many years.

Mid Century Møbler has amazing furniture. They have quality furniture that is well sourced and refurbished (if necessary). We bought a unique desk totally suited for us that we could not have found anywhere else.
Before buying our desk, I went to the shop a couple of times to look around. Everyone was courteous and helpful. Julian is knowledgeable about the furniture and spent a long time talking with me. When we returned, Jason walked us to every piece he thought might work.
They both really wanted help find that perfect piece of furniture, with no pressure to buy.

Fabulous. We drove 1 hour 45 min and were not disappointed. Julian the owner was helpful, knowledgable and friendly. We bought a credenza, they have a huge selection of these. We also bought a dining table, which they had refinished for us. Prices are fair, you are buying quality vintage pieces. Julian was knowledgable, helpful, and not pushy.

I love this store! We have purchased multiple pieces and also had some things reupholstered using their amazing fabrics and we have yet to be disappointed. Very high quality items and always willing to work with us on the items we were pondering. We bought our first table when Julian was still operating out of warehouse space, so excited to see the new store and happy it’s growing!

I have never had such a remarkable experience of professionalism and talent from any vendor! Jason has been a doll in trying to find a compatible piece to work with the one I purchased. a wonderful experience!

This place is great! Not only do they have amazing furniture, but Julian, Jason, and everyone else who works there are incredibly helpful, courteous, and genuinely good people. They are honest and go out of their way to help their customers.
They have a lot of knowledge of mid century furniture and an epic show room with all kinds of beautiful pieces, from credenzas to dining chairs, coffee tables, and more. We have already purchased a dining room table, a credenza/​bar, another credenza, and a super cool rocking chair from them and will likely come back for more as we continue furnishing our house.
Prices are accurate for the quality of the furniture. Some pieces are refinished, others are lovingly restored with oil. If you’re looking for mid century furniture, you will be incredibly happy you went to Mid Century Møbler.

Great store! We bought a credenza and love it! We’ll definitely be back. They have a wonderful selection of Danish modern furniture and continue to get new pieces. Terrific customer service and on time delivery from Julian and Jason.

A rare find, just like
Their Danish gems, perfect for
this century. Love.

This place has an amazing and beautiful selection of furniture. Plus the showroom is spacious so despite having a huge selection, it’s enjoyable to walk around and browse. I got great information about the dressers I was interested in, but to be honest, I walked in and pretty much spied my dream dresser right away. The cherry on top was that delivery happened the next day! Instant gratification. I appreciated the friendly, knowledgable, passionate vibe that wasn’t pretentious. I will definitely go straight back there for my next furniture needs.

It’s a shame I can only give Mobler 5 stars! Julian and company flat out rock! I was in a fever to score a writers desk a few weeks ago, and discovered Julians old space in San Francisco mere days before their move to Berkeley. I had spent a few long, intense days hunting down a desk for our condo and saw a ton of great pieces and selection all over the Bay Area, mostly around the Mission in SF. I saved my journey to MCMObler for last, and I was simply blown away!
Moblers selection is staggering, simply awesome! They have, by far and away, the best inventory in the Bay Area. I saw some pieces that I literally salivated over, and the inventory just goes on and on and on. ALL of the furniture that I saw was in great shape, Julian and his staff do a great job of preparing and refurbishing the pieces, all of the inventory just glistens in the store! I finally pared down my wish list to about six pieces. Believe me, whatever piece you happen to be looking for, Julian probably has three of them.
I was in the shop for about 2 hours and Julian walked me through the inventory very patiently and was a tremendous help! Julian could not have been nicer and was super patient with my thousands of questions. He really loves his business, and was very helpful and informative!
I purchased my secretary desk right around the weekend that he and his staff were loading up multiple moving vans and schlepping everything over to Berkeley. He and his staff must have been swamped and exhausted, but he was great in sending me updates and all of the information that I needed via email. His attention and care about my order was fantastic, especially considering I caught them during ‘hell week’ of moving!
Jason (?) and Thomas delivered my piece a few days later! They could not have been more pleasant and helpful, and I was all set up in a matter of 2 days after falling in love with half of the stuff in the store. They even threw in a complimentary bottle of wood polish so that I can keep my secretary desk looking brand new for decades to come!
In sum, this place is simply magical. KILLER inventory, Julians service and attention to this customer was great, and he even had an old Olympia typewriter to bang on to test out the secretary desk that I brought. Julian could not have been friendlier or more helpful!
If you love Mid Century Scandinavian furniture, this is THE MUST SEE shop in the Bay Area! The service and passion of Julian and his staff completely matched the inventory, which is mind boggling! This was probably the best shopping experience of my life! Five stars? I guess that’s all I can give!

Wow.
Service. I mean, seriously.
I’ve been looking for a slatted bench for some time. I was hoping to find a vintage Nelson. However, they are very rarely found in good shape at a reasonable price.
Enter, Mid Century Møbler.
A couple of friends have been telling me that they were super stoked on these guys for a while now. I was checking their site out today and, VOILA! A vintage, black, slatted bench. The right size, in good shape and definitely the right price.
I purchased it immediately through the site with Paypal (I mean, how easy is that?)… Literally, 10 minutes later, I got an email from Julian confirming my purchase and inquiring about delivery vs. pick-​up. Turns out, he lives in my hood (around the corner, practically) and offered to drop it off for me. TODAY!
I can’t wait to do some serious sitting on that bad boy!
Giant thanks to Julian and the whole Mid Century Møbler family.

Beautiful pieces, fair prices, expert shipping. We just bought our second piece and couldn’t be happier. It’s clear that Julian loves what he does — and what he sells. I look forward to the next purchase!

2015 Update: We continue to shop at Mid Century because of the quality and customer service. The comma side table we purchased last year was in perfect condition and has a cute hidden drawer that adds to it’s charm.
Julian is really helpful and responsive to questions about pieces and recently repaired our Corbusier LC1 armchair. While the prices have increased slightly since they moved to an actual warehouse, the quality and selection has increased.
2011 Review: Nate and Julian have a terrific business and are always looking out for items of interest for their customers. We recently purchased a walnut, 9-​drawer dresser and two unique bedside tables. Each piece is solid wood and refinished to an «almost new» status.
We purchased a Thonet style chair from a store in Baltimore and it was broken in several places by a guest of ours. Nate and Julian did an amazing repair to this adorable chair and we can now use it again.
I look forward to purchasing more furniture from them!

After following this store online for a while now, we finally purchased three BEAUTIFUL pieces from their new store this weekend.
The selection of midcentury finds here is definitely the best collection of pretty affordable and drool worthy 50’s and 60’s items that we have found in the Bay Area. Julian the owner is really sweet and knows his stuff. They will clean and fix up each of the items before you take them home. So a piece we found on the floor that looked pretty good ended up looking amazing once they oiled it, fixed a drawer etc. They even delivered the items the same day! What?! So awesome! Also, they go on frequent buying trips to Denmark and England so we will be back often!
I want to recommend them to everyone but I also want to keep this place a secret. So go… but don’t tell too many people.

I met Julian when my boyfriend and I were looking for a headboard, back when Julian and his ex-​business partner, Gabe, were operating out of a small garage, and back when, to see one piece, fifteen other pieces had to be (delicately!) removed before it.
And even back then, in their very early stages, while operating out of that tiny space in Noe Valley or The Castro or wherever it used to be, Mid-​Century Mobler had the very best furniture at the very best prices.
Is this a bargain basement? No. If you’re looking for such, I’m happy to take you on the estate sale-​circuit with me, where you can occasionally still find a diamond in the rough. Emphasis on the word occasionally.
No, MCM is a true gem of a business. One where the knowledgable and kind proprietor takes pride in his work, and truly wants his customers to be happy. One where the prices are fair, the product is beautiful and the service is impeccable. I’ve been to the other furniture stores on Valencia street, and while they boast sparkly window displays and fancy price tags, MCM trumps them all in heart; you feel GOOD shopping here.
My home now boasts three purchases from MCM, and as my boyfriend and I pack our things to move to our newly purchased house in Portland, I realize I’ll miss this store. It’s not often you find a shop where the owner still personally shines each piece before you take it home, and emails you later that evening to make sure you’re happy.
Here’s to you, Mid-​century Mobler: from your humble beginnings to your warehouse in the Mission to your brand new shop in Berkeley, you’re a class act all the way.
— Mel and Ryan.

As a three time customer in the past year, I can say that Mid Century Mobler is completely awesome! Julian and his gang offer an amazing and hard-​to-​find assortment of Danish and English MCM furniture, refreshed several times a year with new inventory from the old country. Prices aren’t cheap, but they are reasonable and within reach.
My husband and I will miss the old place in SF, but the new store in Berkeley is such an appropriate, airy-​light and open space to show off the furniture, it’s perfect. We’ll be back soon. Next up — new dining room and living room chairs. Then maybe refurnish our office with MCM desks.
Seriously, if you love great furniture, you owe it to yourself to check this place out.
