Van Dijk & Ko

Great antique warehouse filled with all kinds of reasonably priced furniture. They had a very large selection of especially beautiful vintage wardrobes. My only complaint is that the Dutch seem to love to cover natural wood with flat paint colors so it’s very difficult to find any pieces that are the original beautiful wood. I will definitely be returning every few months to see what new and interesting pieces they get in.

Love coming here for refurbished furniture. We just scored the perfect coffee bar! Make sure to wear warm clothes (think hat and scarf plus jacket) because the warehouse is huge and not heated and it gets quite damp and cold. Go with an open mind and get lost in the aisles :)

Van Dijk & Ko is a nice place to get some vintage, secondhand or brocante furniture. It is located next to Neef Louis (also secondhand furniture) so you get check both places in one ride. The stuff at Van Dijk & Ko is a more romantic then the stuff at their neighbors. I liked the atmosphere at Van Dijk more, even though Neef Louis might sell more stuff I would actually buy.
There is all kinds of stuff; tables, chairs, paintings, glassware, trunks and vases. It is all kinda pricey though. Less pricey than Neef Louis, but still pricey. Afforable sure, but well. it is secondhand and with secondhand stuff I always feel like I might find it cheaper at a local charity shop or a fleamarket or something.

I’ve been a regular here for the past three years. It’s about as unique an experience as I can think of. Although I seldom make a purchase I return to see what’s new. There is eye candy galore. Much has changed for the better in the past three months. Today another Hungarian truck stood in front of the door ready to unload. What was he bringing? Don’t leave without visiting Cousin Louis across the alley.

First things first. If you are looking for second hand furniture, you need to get yourself to Amsterdam Noord. Second thing second, head right over to Van Dijk & Ko.
I felt like the equivalent of a kid in a candy store — adult style.
This place has second hand furniture of all shapes and sizes and you can also find some new things. I was considering getting a dining room table there (new) but ended up not.
The great thing about this store is that the furniture is quality. Open a few closets, buffets, and cabinets and you’ll notice a trend: the pieces may be second hand but most have already had work done. You’ll find new magnets holding cabinet doors shut and working locks or claps where needed.
The result is beautiful furniture you won’t need to spend time fixing up. (which may take the fun our of it if you like fixing up furniture!). It is worth noting, that the quality of he furniture is reflected in the price. I’d say you get more than you pay for, and some items are less expensive as well.
A great store for inspiration and for upgrading your home.
