Hip

We were searching for mid century modern furniture (couches, chairs and tables) for our living and media rooms. Hip had a great selection and FANTASTIC service. Rachel is a complete pleasure and fun to work with. She has great taste and was able to make a bunch of valuable recommendations. Highly recommend Hip!

If you love beautiful, forward-​thinking, exquisitely crafted furniture you will love Hip. The customer service is outstanding. The employees can answer every question you might have, they give you color samples and they make you feel totally comfortable. Even the delivery men were incredibly professional. Some people say that objects won’t make you happy, but nearly every day I swoon over my gorgeous Gus Modern sofa.
The real proof that Hip is a great store is that in the past I had a problem with a previous sofa I bought and the owner was extremely kind, cooperative and generous in immediately rectifying the situation.
I would definitely go back and buy more furniture in the future and would recommend them to anyone. I feel much safer making big purchases from a local brick and mortar than online.
I have found that Hip Furniture’s prices are at or below online costs and are much less if you include the price of delivery. I prefer to save up for a year to buy furniture I can treasure for decades than use my hard earned money to buy blah, poorly made items that aren’t really that inexpensive. Quality furniture is a joy and retains its value.

We LOVE our new furniture we bought at Hip… We worked with Aaron to select bar stools and several new pieces for our living room for our new condo space. Aaron worked patiently with us as we selected each piece. He came to the new space to get a feel for appropriate scale and selection first hand. Aaron made suggestions based on the look we were hoping to achieve, keeping in mind our space restrictions, room-​size and pieces we had. He allowed us to take pieces home to «live in the space» for a few days, which proved to be perfect each time! He offered wonderful direction and has a terrific eye for color, scale, form and function. We recommend Aaron regardless if your space is downsized or super-​sized. He selects many of the vignettes displayed at HIP and has a keen eye for space making a house a home!
We loved our experience with Hip and Aaron!

We purchased the perfect wall-​mounted console table yesterday. This is our second piece of furniture from Hip. We appreciate the quality and selection of not-​your-​typical pieces offered by this store, plus Rachel and Aaron’s customer service was outstanding!

We have been buying furniture from Hip for more than 10 years now. If you like modern furniture combined with great customer service, Hip is the place to go.
It’s not as expensive as places like Design Within Reach and Hive. Much more defined selection than Dania, not to mention better quality.
For those on a budget, you can purchase that first beautiful piece from their floor stock sales (that’s how we got hooked). For those with a bit larger budget, one can find quality, timeless pieces that will ship in 2 – 6 weeks, perhaps longer under certain circumstances, depending on your specifications.
Hip has an intimate store setting feel with adequate off street parking in the heart of NW Portland. The staff work as a team (not commission) to get you what you are looking for. They are friendly and knowledgeable which is hugely important when you are furnishing your «home sweet home.»

Our company recently moved into a permanent office space and we needed to buy an entire office suite of furniture. We ended up purchasing desks and matching chairs from a local office furniture store — which was not a very good experience (avoid Rose City) — but decided that we’d look elsewhere for furniture for our lobby area. We found a very cool modern bar online and lucky for us, Hip was able to order it. We didn’t have a clear idea of what we wanted the lobby area to look like, but walking through Hip, our COO spotted a red leather couch and chair that perfectly matched our company logo, then we found two white leather chairs, a very sharp coffee table and matching console table. I also found two chairs, a desk, and a dresser/​file cabinet for my office. We got an excellent price for all of the furniture (much better, in fact, than what we paid for the heavy particle board desks for the rest of the office) and Hip was very easy to work with for the FREE delivery. Our office/​lab area is frequently toured by VIPs and they are always very impressed by our coffee bar and furniture from Hip. Indeed, several have commented that our office furniture is far nicer than what they have in their home — and seriously, it didn’t cost much more than what one typically pays for decent home furniture.
I would highly, highly recommend visiting Hip if you are in the market for furniture. You are only paying slightly more than you would for cheap disposable furniture, but what you get from them is free delivery and great looking furniture that will last a long time and get compliments for years to come!

Not only is their furniture beautiful, but Hip’s staff is friendly, professional, and they go above and beyond to make sure their customers are happy. I brought in photos, and they offered great advice as to what pieces would work best in my home. As I shopped for a new coffee table, my own flakiness caused a series of stumbles that would have frustrated just about any business. However, the staff was friendly and accommodating throughout the entire process. I can’t recommend them enough.

We purchased a bedroom set in April 2008 with the understanding that the furniture would be delivered within 3 – 5 weeks. Two weeks later, we received a call notifying us that they «forgot» to add the cost of the bed legs to the order and would be charging our credit card. The furniture is scheduled to be delivered in May. One of the dressers arrives damaged. We are told that they have to order a new one…3−5 more weeks. I call in mid June and am told that the new dresser should arrive soon. I call again in mid July and am told there is no record of a dresser being reordered. Now we are being told the new dresser will arrive in late August. Very unacceptable. We will never do business with Hip again.

Stopped in here as part of a continuing, and probably futile, attempt to find:
1) A fainting couch/​day bed that is both contemporary and classic with a specific wood stain
2) A kitchen island that is functional, not huge, and can serve as a place to much a bowl of cereal while standing or on a stool
Sure, I said fainting couch… don’t look at me that way!
Hip Furniture has nice stuff — if you are looking for a Craig’s List type steal you ain’t gonna find it here. Prices for nice piece get above $ 1,000 quickly. However — they do have quite a few discounted pieces that are going out of stock, or are discontinued (maybe even a slight blemish — I didn’t dig that deep). If I was furnishing a house with a larger budget (5−10K) this place would be great!
However…I am looking on the $ 200-​$ 500 range, and so I was pretty much out of luck.
They also have a good catalog selection, along with staff willing to spend some time looking for pieces for you. Sadly they had no kitchen islands, and the one fainting couch (yeah, yeah) there were no pics, and was asymmetrical — which pretty much means you NEED pics. Unless you are Escher or something
3.5 stars, rounded to 4, because it’s not their fault I am «po.»

Hip is a modern contemporary furniture store in nw. Lots of metal, glass, wood tables, chairs, etc and unique (not tacky) sofas to go in your swanky new flat/​apt/​loft. They carry Bo Concept and other quality euro import brands. Staff here is never pushy and always helpful. They offer free sample fabrics you can borrow to take home to see how things match up. Most the items are special order, so be prepared to wait.
