I agree with other reviewers about the generally confusing vibe of the people who«work» here… mostly older, blonde, scowling women who sit at desks behind the cupcake counter, actively ignoring«customers» and scribbling notes in their Kate Spade dayplanners. And yes, the prices are pretty bananas for most items. Like the 1987 gray splatter-paint-printed overstuffed velour sectional priced at $ 1300.00? You people are out of your minds. But that’s far from why I give this place a 1-star review. On the last two occasions I was in the store, I overheard one of the staff members saying weirdly racist and homophobic comments while on the sales floor. The homophobic comment was on trip #1, regarding the owner of the salon across the street. This saleswoman was telling another worker that while she’s heard positive reviews of the salon, she just wouldn’t ever trust her hair to «someone like that.» Then proceeded to say a crazy line of things about how«those people» are so over the top, «they» don’t know how to «keep things simple and nice». UGH. The racist comment was trip #2. A saleswoman(I’m thinking maybe the same person as in trip #1) was chatting with a male furniture mover, and said«yes, he was the black man who was in earlier today. You remember him. He was looking at [piece of furniture] and I was so worried he was planning something»… but then it turned out he was just a normal human being in a furniture store, looking at merchandise. So… there you have it. Vancouver, WA, still a tolerant place for racist homophobes to sell used home décor at a 500% markup.

I’ve gone in here 3 times in recent weeks looking for furniture for a family member’s new home. The staff are RUDE! Maybe they’re «divinely appointed» to be above others and eschew an unhelpful air about them. The prices… ridiculous. I frequent estate sales at higher end homes, as well as Craigslist and online sources. I saw 2 different rugs that I had recently spotted on Wayfair. Divine was asking $ 800 for one of them! And it had numerous spots on it. I asked the sales lady if there was any consideration on pricing or if she could look at Wayfair to validate that the same rug, new and pristine, is on sale for $ 850 and free shipping. She said«it is what it says» and walked away hatefully. Thanks, but I’ll spend $ 50 more elsewhere for that experience. Next I found a nice small sidechair. Also recently spotted on . Except Divine Consign wants $ 175 for it and the bottom had coffee stains all over it and had obviously been scrubbed and bleached out the color. Why would I spend that much to recover a chair that can be purchased new for the same or much less??? I’m completely turned off by this place. I did go downstairs and check out the clothing and that lady was nice and prices seemed decent for nice quality.

The vibe was weird. There was not so friendly sales staff and the furniture was extremely overpriced, especially for used and stained items. But it’s all for a good cause right?! I did enjoy moseying around and looking at all the décor. But then it happened…(backstory) I had just purchased a yoga ball chair off of a virtual sale website for $ 30. Brand new it sells for $ 80, But this store had it marked for $ 150!!! I could have died laughing but then the grumpy clerk came out through her backdoor curtain with a scowl and I tried hard to keep my composure. In all honesty, there were a few fair priced items and it was a great laid out store and design setup but I was only in there for the cupcakes anyways. And all I left with was cupcakes.

I finally got the chance to check this place out while waiting for my hair appointment. It seems like a nice place, though more of an antique store price range than consignment. I found many things to be overpriced for the condition. There were some good sales on things — I’m assuming they’ve been sitting for a while. If you’re into shabby chic or upcycling, this is probably the place for you. Glad I checked it out, but I most likely won’t return.

This place lost a potentially large sale because of the most dismissive, rude, and incompetent sales staff. Take note Elaine. I passed up at least one item, that I LOVED, because of the hostility. I’m bummed, but will shop anywhere else. Walked out pissed.

Good selection… Rude employees… Sad a place like this can’t be more cheerful especially being its for a good cause. They’d get a lot of business from me if they would just smile.

Nice furniture over priced, a downstairs area for clothing(never made it), and employees that are good at… being rude? Weird setting, unfriendly staff, snooty blonde lady that assumes people are deaf.

We always pass by this place and decided it was worth a gander Although they have a pretty big collection of furniture, it’s all pretty ugly and super old. I only saw a couple of new furniture sets or pieces of furniture, all of which were sold. We smelled hints of cat urine throughout the store and lots of must. Multiple times, sales associates walked by and didn’t say a word to us. We seemed to have gotten in their way multiple times. Despite showing interest in stuff, we couldn’t get their attention. Stuff seemed a little overpriced in my opinion. The woman downstairs in the vintage department(which is super creepy haha) was pretty friendly. She said hello and goodbye to us despite having a conversation with a gentleman.

I’m a frequent visitor of thrift and consignment shops. Divine Consign has a decent collection of furniture, smalls and art in Downtown Vancouver. The sale items are located in the rear of the store. There is also a downstairs area that contains more merchandise. We encountered few staff and one was particularly sour looking and rather unapproachable. We definitely did not feel welcome. The store also has a strong musty mildew smell which is concerning whenever you are purchasing something to bring into your own home. No one is going to want that smell to come home with them. I do applaud the donation of proceeds to charity. That is fantastic! Hence, this shop is A-OK.

Wide selection of good quality used furniture and household items at this store — better than most consignment stores. There is always something different whenever we drop in so items must be selling quickly. Prices are reasonable and it’s satisfying that a portion of the sale goes to a local charity. On-street parking is easy to find and the first 20 minutes of metered parking is free. The only drawback is the service, rather lack of service. I’m grateful that folks are willing to donate their time and energies toward a good cause; but I’ve learned not to expect a friendly helpful staff on every visit.
