I am writing to provide an update on my issue. I heard back from the Ballard Consignment after posting this review. My sofa was delivered to the wrong retailer in another state, and the matter ended up "lost in translation" - no one realized there was a problem. After posting my review I received a gracious reply from the store, and they resolved the issue speedily with great communication. My sofa is being delivered this weekend. I am very pleased with the resolution. read more

Oh my gosh! Such an adorable store with very unique furniture and art! I love the store plus the cute staff :) read more

Ballard Consignment Store - I even got this awesome sweater! - Furniture Stores Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Its like a amusement park for the eyes. This Ballard establishment is a great place to stop in if your looking for a piece of home decor or a piece of furniture. Every time I am in the neighbor hood, I'll stop in to see whats new, and trust me, there is always something new. This shop is mixed with new pieces of furniture sprinkled with consignment. The eclectic mix of decor will keep you busy in the store for awhile. Awesome selection of lamps. From cool art deco paintings to crystal canteens, its all here. There's a pretty cool sections of the store that has clothing and accessories which is pretty cool to go through. The staff here is pretty nice, always friendly. I would like to see more consignment items instead of new product. And the new product is a little over priced, but its still nice to day dream about having it in your living room and pretend to have an adventure in my own head! I love coming here after the market with a cup of joe. Impulse shopping here is very satisfying! read more

I have a unique relationship with this business. - I've consigned ten of thousands of dollars through them as a Consigner and have always been impressed. They are straight shooters, who provide a fair deal and have checks waiting for you when the money has been promised. - I've purchased quite a few items from them, which now are some of my prized possessions. Always at affordable rates and about 1/3 of what the items would sell for at retail prices. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable and engaging. Highly recommend Ballard Consignment read more

A quality consignment store if for no other reason than the size. You spend more time driving to most stores than you do browsing them, but you can actually spend a decent amount of time walking the two floors of BCS. They have a wide selection of, well, most everything. You'll find your share of furniture, clothes, nicknacks, and other random things to impress your friends with. It took us a couple visits to find something we actually wanted to buy, but it turned out to be the perfect vintage dining room table for our new house... so it was worth the effort. We've never gone on purpose, we just walk in randomly when we're in the area. I think we got a decent deal, so I'm sure we'll be back. Rumor has it they're expanding to take over the huge space Skarbos, so they'll be even more expansive. They'll actually get dedicated parking with the expansion, so +1 there. read more

It's written on the gates of Hell to abandon all hope ye who enters. Well, to some degree, Dante was talking about Ballard Consignment store -- in the best way possible. With an eclectic, gorgeous and fairly priced collection, I found myself going from room to room in this massive building saying, "I'd buy that." If you're prone to temptation, stay away -- far away. I purchased a few side tables and an armchair after receiving a ton of helpful suggestions from the staff. Knowledgable beyond belief, they navigated the store's three floors with ease and an almost surreal understanding of what item was where (a tall task). If you need a sofa, a desk lamp, that funky stop light decor, or a Seattle street sign, make a pit stop at this consignment store. Make a reasonable offer and you'll be walking out with far more than you bargained for. read more

Joey gave me a call and explained why it was so confusing - I wasn't offered or signed an agreement so I didn't know that I had to go there to get the check. I was appreciative for the phone call, would still want the check to get sent instead of having to drive hours to pick it up. Improving the rating by 1 star for the nice phonecall. read more

Absolutely wonderful place to get all your furniture. Super rad art. Great customer service and in an awesome location!

This is the kind of place that you can wander through aimlessly and have a lot of fun. It's a mini museum, in a way. There are collectibles from decades past that are very entertaining to see. This is a pretty big place...don't forget to check out the upstairs too. They have jewelry, clothes, bed frames, pictures, and stuff from your childhood you never thought you'd see again. This place keeps getting better every time I go back....there must be a lot of people moving in/out of Ballard. read more

Ballard Consignment Store - They have a ton of Nagels - Furniture Stores Near Me - Seattle, Washington

See all

The selection here is out of this world! We went in looking for a small mid century modern table with four fun chairs and were not disappointed. Found the cutest set! Love this place. read more

Love this place! Huge, spacious, well laid out with more selection than you can find in multiple stores combined, AND actually friendly and helpful but not pushy staff! We did our purchase in two trips, during the first a really helpful lady (sorry forgot her name) asked us what we were looking for and helped us walk through only the relevant inventory fast, it really saved us time. We had to rush out so we tagged the pieces we liked on hold. We returned later that evening and finished our purchase with Erin (Aaron?) who was super helpful, friendly and patient even though we were cutting it really close to closing hour. We went through quite a few furniture and consignment stores before we stumbled upon this gem. Ended up buying our entire living room worth of furniture from here exactly as they had on display. Unlike most consignment stores which are space confined and haphazardly over stuffed, they have enough space and design sense to match and lay out furniture pieces together so that you get a good sense of what will go together. Wish we saw Ballard Consignment first, would have saved us a lot of time. Will most definitely be returning for more when we're ready for more furniture. read more

Bought a bunch of stuff here and regret it. Found several of the items for half the price at other furniture stores in Tukwila. One of the "new" items I purchased was damaged in several places and owner tells me he'll take it back for 20% restocking fee and only provide store credit but won't refund me. Decided to sell it in my own instead for way less than what I paid because I don't want to shop there again. read more

This is my first Yelp review - I was hoping I could leave no stars, I was forced into 1 star. ~ As a consigner: I sent an email to approve consigning a dining set with them. I pointed out and/or provided pictures of flaws. I received an approval email from Victor saying: "On Feb 6, 2019, at 5:14 PM, victor ghioni ballardconsignment@hotmail.com wrote: It looks good you're welcome to bring it anytime thank you!" I got everything but the table-top moved into the store and then they told me 'um, no - we don't want it, we can't sell that'. They did apologize & help me move everything back into my car - but I am in process of moving so I have limited time. An apology does not make up for the 3 hours I lost when I did NOT have 3 hours to lose. When I got upset, Victor & the employee both kinda turned into defensive d*cks. It wasn't until I was literally getting into my car to drive off Victor said to come back down & 'maybe' they could do something for me. ... uh, I am moving and I am in a hurry, Victor. You coulda mentioned that when we were in the store or offered a gift certificate or something. Do not consign with them. They are *ssholes & difficult to deal with. There are plenty of other places around. ~ As a customer: I have frequented the store many, many times over the years. I do love the stuff they have. But it is waaaaay overpriced & I almost always ended up finding similar pieces on Craigslist/eBay/thrift store/discount stores much cheaper. In fact, I wanted to consign with them because they do overprice & I thought I would get the most for my dining set there. It is a great place for finding inspiration, but monitor CL or head down to the SoDo Antique mall for more reasonable prices. read more

Great, if you like cheap new furniture made in China - which is mostly what they have here. Total waste of time if you're looking for actual vintage stuff. read more

We've come here a few times and always love browsing the selection. Although we don't always find what we are looking for, we like that they have a variety of options and that all of the prices are negotiable. Sales staff isn't always the most helpful, so you may find yourself wandering the store and no one checking in on you, but that is kind of nice not having to worry about someone pushing a sale on you. read more

Great service! Staff is always helpful. They were very accommodating in a late pick up of several couches for our new home.

NEVER SHOP AT THIS STORE THERE ARE SO MANY OTHER GREAT AFFORDABLE VINTAGE STORES IN THIS CITY! First off I don't usually write negative things about business or even write reviews at all for that matter but i just thought my experience might help someone from making the same mistake... I recently went in to this store for the first time a couple months ago. I had just moved and needed a new couch (among other furniture items thankfully purchased else where) i went to diffrent vintage stores all over the city and my last stop was ballard consignment. My first thought was wow! This place is huge and full of awesome vintage furniture. I start looking around and immediately find an awesome couch in my budget which at this store was almost damn near impossible. Having spent most my money earlier on other furniture I put the couch on lay away. Only waited one pay period total of 2 weeks to pick up the couch i was so excited to have my new couch in my new apartment. I went super early to pick it up. I rented I van and got my brother to help me. We got the couch in the building only to find it wouldn't fit in the elevator or either one of the two stair cases so we quickly called them back explained our situation and they said no problem bring it back. So we loaded it back up got it there and was told by the owner that he "had just written the check for the couch so I'm shit out of luck" I had just payed and just picked it up maybe 2 hours before i figured I could atleast get store credit and get another couch that would fit. Thats just bad business, seriously HOW DO YOU PAY SOMEONE FOR SOMETHING WHEN YOU HAVEN'T EVEN BEEN FULLY PAID YET!!! They explained our only option was to put it back on consignment. And they take 50% of what it sells for! So now I'm out the money I spent on a uhaul and the money I had for a couch and have no couch! So I waited a couple weeks to see if it sold (you have to call them to see if your items have sold they don't contact you... yet another bad business practice) apparently it sold 2 days after I paid picked up and brought it back. I had just seen another couch at another store I liked even better for a better price so i thought my luck has changed and I will finally have a couch but nope they told me on the phone "i will have a check sometime next month" didn't give me a date or anything. I just happened to be in Ballard that same day so it went in and asked I figured if they paid the other person for the couch before I even fully paid why wouldn't they have a check if it sold over 2 or 3 weeks ago. It has no been over a month and still haven't even been paid what they owe me. This store is full of cheats liars and scumbags. THEY SHOULD RENAME THIS STORE BALLARD CHEATS AND SCAMERS!!! read more

Interested in consigning? I had a great experience here. Friendly staff, clear paperwork, open communication. When I dropped off a chair we had a few discussions on price to make sure we were on the same page. The chair sold... they did everything (while I did nothing). I'll get a check on the 5th of the month. Thanks Ballard Consignment! I appreciate it! All smiles, Kara read more

Love this store! It may not look like much from the outside but it has so much cool stuff to offer. They have it all....furniture, clothes, vintage, knickknacks, art + so much more. And so well presented and prices are well marked. Very good quality items but at reasonable prices. Staff are friendly and efficient and consigning with them is very easy. Normally you book your appointment about a month in advance as they have lots of consigners. Very easy to deal with and low key when going through your items. So glad this store is here......I don't live in Ballard, but it's worth a drive there and I'm never disappointed. read more

Great experience... viewed a few things online but found better coffee tables at the store. Was able to pull the car around and they helped load it for me. Great selection of MCM. Smooth! read more

One of my favorite places to be! I can stay in there for hours. They have new and vintage items. It is so nice to have a mix of both in our house. Some of my favorite items have come from there. Our house is older. The basement bathroom was hideous. I found a vintage very heavy life preserver to put on the wall. Changed the whole vibe. They also work with a great delivery service. They are amazing as well. We get a lot of visitors from other states. I have started taking them there as part of the Seattle tour. They love it! read more

Such a cool place to wander around, especially when visiting the farmers market over the weekend. Haven't bought anything yet but look forward to it! read more

This consignment stores has so many things. From clothing to furniture. Price was reasonable for some things. Felt like some of the items were brand new. Big place, 2 floors of items. They deliver if needed. Street parking only read more

Wonderful place to look around, dream and enter a world unto itself. And buy as often as not. Two rugs, a chair-and-ottoman set and assorted Dansk housewares in the last year. Not to mention the treasures I don't buy but stay with me long after I've left. Nothing from IKEA has ever stayed with me like that. It's everything I enjoy about local retail that we're losing to the internet. I park my family at the Full Tilt next door to binge on caffeine, sugar and adrenaline while I peacefully explore this gem. If this is your ideal of how how local retail could do more than merely offer Stuff, then by all means shop here. And shop your values while you still can. read more

We were looking for furniture stores. Went to couple different kinds when we came across this one. Wow Best furniture store out there. Would recommend 10/10. Best service with a huge inventory. They have new and used furniture. Amazing prices. read more

This place is great! Fun to walk around this huge store. Plenty of cool finds; it is a great place to get inspired. The location is awesome, too, as there are plenty of things to check out in the neighborhood. Make an afternoon of it! read more

My favorite place ! They have the best products and am very reasonable with pricing, always there to help and the best customer service ! Highly recommended and definitely will come back ! read more

By far the best consignment store I ever step foot in. A bit pricey but its money's worth. Very vintage, great wood, etc. I love this store!!! read more

I buy as much furniture as I can from here! The owner is amazing and the employees are so sweet. I bought a table and chairs from here at such an amazing cost. So unique! I have gotten like 10 compliments read more

This store is amazing! We love to visit Ballard Consignment. I find something I MUST have every time I go. They even had a warthog I really wanted but I waited to long so somebody now has "Walter". The staff is friendly and helpful and they even have great prices on brand new high quality mattresses. read more

Great stuff and location! Two floors of some serious goods! I mean I could spend my whole day there! I got a great leather sofa with a discount! Plus I met the owner which is always nice to see!! Will be back soon to see about a dresser! read more

Big selection and friendly people! lots of cool stuff! Even a knite in armor with an axe lol its worth stopping in to check out

This is an enormous furniture consignment store with couches, chairs, desks, and really just about anything you need for a living room or den. As other people have pointed out, a large number of items fit a midcentury modern style. We were looking for a couch and the staff was particularly friendly and helpful. When we found something we liked they described the company that produced the couch and the quality, and they didn't hesitate to negotiate the price. They have a delivery company that they work with, although you can leave your item there for up to a week if you want to find a different company or way to transport it. Our couch was about $700, perfect height, amount of firmness and cush, and great looking. I do notice a bit of a squeak once in awhile when I change positions, but other than that it feels very sturdy and seems to be good quality. If I could have sprang a few hundred more I would have gone with one of the many Biltwells they seem to keep in stock as they come with a lifetime warranty. read more

I didn't purchase anything here, but my browsing experience was awesome thanks to Scott, who was helpful, personable, and funny!!

Be warned--half or more of the furniture here is not consignment, it's shoddily made, brand-new furniture. They mix it in with the antiques/consignment, and it's up to you to figure out if you're getting a good deal on a unique piece that has withstood the test of time, or over-paying for a couch you'll be selling at a major loss on Craigslist in a year. Some of them are obvious, others are not. All I can say is, look up the brands on your phone or you'll regret it. There are a few diamonds in the rough, but it takes some digging in this massive store to find them. It would be a much nicer store if they curated the collection a little and didn't try to sell you crappy mid-century "style" knockoffs. Update: Despite the reply, my opinion stands. I didn't get an email, probably just because of Yelp's system. The couch I bought here is long-gone--the fabric it was made of did not stand up to light use, snagged easily, buttons popped off, etc...I sold it after a year of use for $700 less than I bought it for. They're still selling the same model. It's generic, modern, crappy furniture that only looks good because it's staged next to a legitimate, gorgeous (expensive) mid-century piece. What a deal! Not really. Just go to Ikea, at least you know what to expect. I have since given the store another chance, went in, and bought an antique-looking hutch I really liked the look of. Boy I wish I had brought a level, because when I got it home I saw that the top was extremely uneven. Upon closer inspection I realized I had paid $100 for a poorly made piece that looks like it was slapped together from bits of other projects (upcycled maybe? Still not worth $100). My mistake for not looking closely. But for the price point, I'm expecting to have less buyer's remorse. This isn't a used car dealership, it's a neighborhood business. I'm not going to knock down my review to be spiteful, lol. The people who work here are super nice, and a few times I have gone in and found beautiful furniture, but it was too pricey to take home. I had a minor existential crisis over a gorgeous oak dresser, but ultimately decided that it was too expensive. If you have the money to spend on an expensive piece, then I think it might be worth it. But beware of the "bargains." It seems like they'll sell just about anything. read more

This place is great!! Huge building with an amazing and unique selection ranging from furniture to vintage clothing. Employees are phenomenal; plenty of them, they are enthusiastic and welcoming and they know the merchandise extremely well; which is amazing considering how many pieces there are. Prices were reasonable and I was told prices on everything are negotiable; I purchased a piece originally marked $195.00 for $125.00. They also deliver. I didn't notice if they have their own parking lot but if not, there is plenty of street parking and some pay lots. A final bonus; they actually have restrooms open to the public. (Thank you!)This place is definitely going to be a regular weekend stop for us. read more

Wow - what an amazing store! My wife and I are avid vintage shoppers, especially for all things mid-century. This store has an impressive assortment of vintage decor, in a pretty massive space. 3 floors of stuff, and all nicely arranged, easy to see, and reasonably priced. It looks like they even carry some new furniture items with a vintage look. We didn't end up getting anything on this trip, but we will definitely be back! Our only "complaint" is that the parking is a bit difficult. Not as bad as downtown Seattle, but still challenging. read more

There are two parts of the consignment process - the seller and buyer. I am sure that this store is a great deal to the BUYER. However, for a seller it is not. Let me let anyone who is going to consign here what their process is: you pay to move it there, you pay for insurance against loss or damage, they will not tell you when it sold (which makes you pay for insurance on something no longer in the facility), they cut checks on the 5th of every month, if you want them to mail you a check you must leave a self-addressed envelope (and more if there is more than one sale of your consignment), they price it and keep 50% and will reduce the price until they give it away (for those valuable but need to find the right person means you may wind up giving it away after you pay for moving it to their facility and paying insurance), read more

I came in today with a budget of 3k and an eye on that massive grey reclining sectional. I walked out with the sectional, a beautiful (and inexpensive) bed frame, $700 left and a smile. Aaron answered all my questions and made it a great experience. Keep up the great work! read more

I didn't even walk all the way through this place and I'm a definite fan. This place is huge and there's so much to peruse. My mother-in-law fell in immediate love with a small sofa that sold about ten minutes before we entered. We didn't have much time to walk around that day but I could tell, I could easily spend a couple hours and walk away with sweet loot for our home. Street parking can be tricky at peak times but if you can score a spot, do your shopping there then snag a scoop from Full Tilt! read more
