Upscale Consignment Furniture, Etc

I recently moved up to North Highlands for an apartment of my own, and naturally, it was bereft of furniture. I knew I couldn’t lay on my living room floor, so I begun searching on Craigslist for a writing desk. An advert put out by Upscale Consignment was one of the first ones I saw.
I drove down there this afternoon, saw that the desk in question was still there, and promptly went to the front and requested purchase. A folding chair was purchased along with it, and the combined total was somewhere around the $ 50 mark.
The proprietor advised me to pull my car around to the rear of the store, removed the legs so that it would fit in my car, and helped me put it in the back seat. The whole operation was taken care of in fifteen minutes. I’ll definitely return here in the future.

I wrote a review but apparently it didn’t post.
Went in there after seeing an ad online for a desk. Bought the desk. Also needed a TV stand. I didn’t find a TV stand but I found something better — a nice wood dresser (I do love wood best) for a reasonable price. I bought both pieces. I was a bit concerned the TV wouldn’t fit on the dresser but everything fit perfectly inside my place. The pieces are awesome looking and exceeded my expectation in terms of looks and functionality. Go check them out.

Called to ask if they could call the owner on a mirror with a very reasonable offer and the clerk cut me off, rudely. And said no! I would not like to have someone selling my stuff and tell my possible buyers NO, without hesitation or even a counter offer.

When I’m looking for a piece I always stop by, I’ve found some really great deals. I just purchased another piece from them that is being delivered today. The gentleman who own’s the store is very nice and it’s a pleasure working with him. Also It feels so much better to buy a used solid wood piece of furniture rather than a particle board flat pack that you have to assemble yourself. They also have some interesting lamps and decorator pieces.

I found some great items and awesome prices! Go check them out, you’ll be glad you did.

The gray-​haired woman working here today was so obnoxious and condescending, I wouldn’t dream of giving this store a penny! We came to look at something from a Craigslist ad that turned out to be a very different color from the ad. Although I liked the piece, my husband vetoed it because of the color. Her response was to look down her snooty nose and snort, «You didn’t know that BEFORE you came here?» She then got huffy because another employee had incorrectly priced some light bulbs we were buying, which we declined because she wanted to charge us double the marked price and tried to argue about their value. We didn’t respond, as she clearly had a holier than thou attitude, we just left the store, shaking our heads. I had been planning to convince hubby to get the piece — it would have taken me all of five minutes — but I changed my mind the minute she opened her mouth. I’d rather pay twice the price elsewhere than ever shop here.

I dig this place for the treasure hunting, although I think the term «upscale» is a bit of an oversell. I mean, it’s upscale compared to Goodwill, I guess. They sell a mix of new and used furniture, but I’d estimate about 75% of it is used/​consignment stuff. Some of it is in pretty good condition, but a lot of it is in fair thrift store condition, meaning visible wear but with fair prices.
Unlike the new furniture stores, the sales lady didn’t hover over us like a hawk, so I appreciated that. We were 100% free to check everything out, plop down on the sofas, measure things, etc. I felt really comfortable there, and when I did have a question, the sales lady was nice and knowledgable.
I think the merchandise gets progressively «less upscale» the further back into the store you get because that back room is full of random junk, as far as I could tell. But, hey, if you like thrifting, there might be some treasure back there.
I would come back here on a thrifty Saturday, just to poke around.
