Home Consignment Center

I had the most amazing experience at Home Consignment Center. Michelle was out of this word. I came in looking for a bed and 15 items later, my home is going to look like a model home. Michelle is absolutely incredible!!!

My first of what I imagine a few more visits were a delight. Worked with Michelle on furnishing a new apartment. It was fun, easy and at a very reasonable cost! Michelle is invaluable as a consultant (vs. sales person). She understood my taste, my priorities and my time table with no pressure. Even followed up with a call on something I thought I lost an opportunity on. Looking forward to finishing the details on my new place!

Recently I was looking for a kitchen table and chairs. I went to Home Consignment Center in Laguna Niguel first because I heard they have a lot of good deals there. When I went there, a very nice lady, Robin, came up and offered to help me. She was very knowledgeable of their inventory and showed me several sets in their store. Later I decided to get a table set I liked and she closed the deal in a very professional manner. I’m sure there will be other pieces of furniture I will want to get in the future and I’ll look at Home Consignment Center first, and ask for Robin.

Love this store! Have completely refurnished my entire house with the help of Jane. From day one she directed me to pieces that were perfect for my eclectic tastes. Jane asked the right questions and figured me out right away. I would have made wrong scale, style and color choices without her expertise and intuitive sense for what would work best to make my place feel like home and reflect «me.» I’ve sent my neighbors and friends to the store, specifically to work with Jane. They love the things they’ve bought and are running out of room to buy more!

It’s always a. pleasure to shop with you. The staff are very helpful and knowledgeable. It’s amazing how you can fit so much inventory into your store and it’s changing daily! It’s a treasure hunt every visit! My finds have been an antique armoire which we made into a bar and stemware station, a new sleeper sofa with beautiful throw pillows, numerous art pieces and a giant entertainment center which retailed at Pottery Barn for $ 3500.00 which we paid $ 699.00. See you soon!

i bought a velvet grey sofa that was regularly 4000.00 i got it for 964.00…beautiful and amazing quality…
Great furniture at affordable pricing. once you shop here you will not shop anywhere else… see for your self. I love the helpful staff and will not shop for furniture anywhere else!

I used to shop at the Yorba Linda Home Consignment Center and always had a great experience working with Michelle. I was so disappointed to find she was no longer at the Yorba Linda store but so happy to find her now at the Laguna Niguel store! Michelle has such a great sense of style, she always helps me pick just the right things. She also helped me consign a few of my own things. I look forward to doing more business with Michelle and Home Consignment Center.

5 stars on the staff. Michelle was outstanding as she went over an above to help me with my most recent purchase. In general, this store gets a lot of great items in — it just depends on what you are looking for — my advice, check it out frequently…

First time buying from HCI. Bought a $ 300 chaise that was a fake leather. It started to peel after a week. I was unable to return the chaise because all sales are final. It was recommended that we re-​upholster the piece. I asked if there was any recourse with the previous owner the answer was no. I will never purchase from HCI again.
Update: Been 12 days and upholstery is now splitting.

Helpful staff knows their inventory and encourages browsing. Explained the consignment method, percentage, time frame, what sells quickly, and what tends to languish. This could be a favorite haunt for nesters.

This is a chain of furniture consignment stores. They have your typical bevy of used furniture offering and also some jewelry. We visited this location a couple of days ago to see what they had.
Here’s my breakdown:
TIP 1: Know what you’re looking for and what it costs new from both a retail store and an online source. It’s the only way to know if you’re getting a good deal or not.
GOOD 1: They have a lot of furniture items out to see. It’s a mix of old and modern but mostly old from what I saw.
GOOD 2: The staff was nice and friendly…
BAD 1: The prices for some things were just shy of new /​retail pricing. To me consignment stores are places to find deals on used things not places trying to get retail pricing for used items. We immediately found a bed that we really liked but it was already sold for $ 2700. They suggested we try another Home Consignment Center store as each store has different things. While driving to the other store we started looking online and found a bed that was 99% the same. The only difference was the finish was a little lighter. The kicker is that what we saw online was $ 2200 brand new with delivery !
Overall, this might be a good place to poke around but I’m a bit weary now that I’d have to research things to be sure I wasn’t buying used at retail pricing. Because value is a subjective thing I’m giving it 3 stars since my experience was just OK. Your mileage may very so give it a try.

Been here many times and got some good deals from jewelry to furniture and always been pleased with service but product can vary a lot, certainly have some over priced junk IMO but some good stuff also.

I have shopped here for years and have purchased many high end unique pieces along the way. They have such a great mix of modern and traditional pieces that you never know what you’ll end up seeing, especially since it is a consignment store. So if you see a piece that speaks to you, you may want to put a hold on it. But don’t forget to call and pay the next day… my mom lost a great table that way. She was devastated. She still talks about it… months later.
I have to say their jewelry selection is utterly fabulous. They always have such sparkling pieces (high quality diamonds) that you can’t help but see their brilliance, even far away through the case. I only wish l could make more money, lol. But all kidding aside, it is the best quality consignment jewelry selection l have seen under one roof. Though l have not been to their other locations so l am excited to venture out and do that next time l come up to visit my family.
I did have an unfortunate situation recently, and the owner of the store, Debra, was very understanding and stepped up. I am happy with the way l was treated and how the situation was handled. Very ethical business practices, in my opinion.
My only reason for dropping a star is that sometimes their prices are a little high, but the quality speaks for itself. This is higher end furniture and all in great condition, so l can see why. The merchandise rotates quickly which says that people are buying it up. So they are able to sell it for what they are asking. I also cannot afford to live in this area so my expectations are likely very different than their primary customer base. However, this is the same reason as to why l do shop here… gently pre-​owned furniture that looks new for less than what it would cost new (and would normally be out of my price range).
I saw in another’s review some negative mention about Karen, which is unfortunate because she helped us with my «shattered glass» style table and she was very kind and helpful. Not discrediting the other review, but just noting that it was not our experience of her, so hopefully it won’t be yours.
Happy Hunting!

I have only sold furniture to them and have window shopped. I haven’t bought any pieces of furniture here yet.
I have sold a few pieces of a couch set to them. They were both great quality and appeared close to new. I’m not sure if the commission you get is the same across the board with all types of furniture. Ours was around 50% that we got from the sell price. I feel that is pretty reasonable since they are the ones selling it. I don’t have to worry about it and I still get money out of it.
They did reject one item I tried to consign to them because of a very small flaw, so it was a bummer for me, but shows me they take great value it accepting the best pieces of furniture.
I have not bought anything from them, but from what I’ve seen when I have looked around is great pieces of furniture. From my opinion they are updated and good quality pieces.
I haven’t given much of my time to look at their jewelry, or any other item besides furniture, so not sure about that. However, based off of their furniture I feel they offer great items. It is worth checking out.

i’m thrilled to have found a place to sell my jewelry for a very good price. I’ve shopped three other places promising good return but received a much better deal at the jewelry dept. here at HCC. Rhonda was so thorough and took a lot of time to look over my diamond rings and a few other pieces of gold jewelry. Also bought a sofa while I was there! I sat on it waiting for her to finish up my contract and it was perfect. HA! I’ve shopped here for misc. furniture for over 9 years. The jewelry experience was my first and it was top notch! Super friendly!

THIS REVIEW IS FOR JEWELRY CONSIGNMENT ONLY
I love the Home Consignment Center! They can literally sell any jewelry you bring in and FAST. I had a few dated rings that I had been trying to sell in various South OC locations for over a year. None sold and the mark-​up was insane. I thought you’d have to be nuts to mark a piece up this much but no place could actually sell my items — until I went to HCC.
First off the Home Consignment Center does not do a huge mark up but sells it at fair market value. They completely inspect each piece before they take it in and they clean it insanely. Seriously they’ll tell you things about your items that even you didn’t know!
The best part about selling with HCC is that you get the lion’s share of the selling price and they sell it FAST! Yep, all that foot traffic comes in for furniture and home goods yet leaves with some bling, too. I think the fact that they are a high volume seller really works for your advantage. The location is good and the jewelry staff is excellent.
I do have to give some love to the wonderful gal who works with jewelry consignment the majority of the time. She is kind and very knowledgeable. When I’d call to check in on my items she was always happy to hear from me and give me some updates. And best of all she knows how to sell! No matter what style my stuff was — she got the job done. Also the two rings I sold were eternity bands (which are unable to be sized) in a size 5. I thought it was a long shot, being they were so small and unable to be altered, that anyone would pick them up. They were both gone in under three months :)
This place is a slam-​dunk if you want to sell your old jewelry. Seriously give them a shot and they’ll do what the others just can’t. I’m a fan for life.

Meh. So this place has fairly nice quality items. It really does. However, the cons here outweighed the pros for me.
The markup is silly. I rather liked a lopsided (one of the legs was a little broken) Crate & Barrel cabinet that I saw there for around $ 300. The problem was that it was heavily scuffed and one of the legs was broken… and I could get a new one at C&B for $ 50 more and be able to return it if I changed my mind.
All sales final here, folks.
Also, lots of people were being helped. Lots of older couples and older professionals. I think that they may have thought that I was too young (20’s) to be able to afford anything in there… I was in there for quite awhile, and several of their employees that weren’t doing anything looked at me, but none of them said a word to me.
Most of what I liked had a «sold» sign on it anyway.
I decided to take my hard-​earned dollars elsewhere. There’s some nice stuff in here, though, so maybe you’ll like it more than I did.

Consignment store I visited while on vacation in Orange County. High end furniture galore! Nothing RTA (ready to assemble) or Ikea here! Terrific collection of furniture mostly from the last 20 years. Furnishing a complete matching dining room or living room is possible here! Not so much for the DIY’ers. Most items in the $ 100-​$ 500++ price range. Also many home décor accessories, nice collection of chandeliers, mirrors, and wall décor. Nice sized jewelry consignment also available!
See pictures for more.

This place is OK. Nothing ‘wow’.
I feel like you could buy similar stuff from Craigslist at maybe half to 40% of the price.
Decent selection of couches and decorative items when I went in. Lots of items already with ‘sold’ or ‘hold’ tags on them, so a bit frustrating.
Crowded! Does a great business, it seems.
May be a store for you — but not for me!

Not into second hand purchases but for some reason curiosity pulled me in. After looking through the store, I found what I was looking for. Two over-​sized Lanterns for the entry way. It looked as if someone purchased it and never used it. No markings or candle drips any where.
The sales lady was pleasant and she had one of the gentlemen that works there help take the large one to my car.
Although I didn’t want to come, so glad I did.
