What We Take

We’re interested in furniture and accessories currently located in San Diego County. While we buy most types of household furniture, we do not buy major appliances. For the best offer, items should be in good to excellent condition and ready for resale. We do occasionally buy ‘project’ pieces to refurbish, but this will significantly affect our offer amounts. Examples of what we’re looking for include:

  • dining tables and chairs
  • sofas and armchairs
  • coffee tables and side tables
  • tall chests of drawers, long-low dressers and nightstands
  • all forms of lighting
  • decorative ceramics, glass, wood and metal from the 1950’s, 60’s and 70’s
If in doubt, share it with us and we’ll let you know what we think!
