Soho Retro is one fabulous shop!…read more Steve, the owner, greeted me with a mimosa and his adorable pup. He instantly became my favorite person I'd met in Birmingham. The furniture, art, and other decorative pieces were gorgeous and priced really well. There were some unique finds that you probably wouldn't look for but would be glad you stumbled upon and lots of classic pieces too. I became obsessed with a couple of items but wanted to measure before making a purchase. Steve happily provided his card in case things worked out. Unfortunately, I returned home to find that my hunch was correct and the pieces wouldn't be a good fit. No worries. I'll for sure keep Soho in mind during the rest of my redecorating!

Primarily tables, cabinets, nightstands, and bookshelves. They also have a small, yet mighty, selection of home gifts. If somebody told me they needed a credenza or buffet, I would recommend Nadeau first. I'm not entirely sure where they source these pieces from, but they're a perfect combination of sturdy, well-made, and surprisingly lightweight. I have a beautiful painted black side table from here that I've loved for years and has held up beautifully. No scratches or anything. I like to swing on through anytime I'm in Homewood. Prices range from about $200 to $1,000+, usually just depending on the scale of the piece. I nearly took home a large, tall wardrobe style cabinet. They have a sweet store cat and the staff is always very kind and helpful. Stock here rotates often, so there's always something new to see.

The thing I like most about Badcock Furniture is the insurance coverage they provide. The insurance…read morecovers damage within 3 years to include if I damage the piece. They will review the damage to see if repair or replacement is necessary. Then, if I don't need to use the insurance in three years, the money I paid for the insurance comes back to me in the form of in store credit. What a great way to encourage repeat business. I also like that the furniture I received seems to be of higher quality than the discount places I usually shop. Quality in the form of materials used and stitching, the little details that make it feel a little more of an upgrade without the upgrade price. We're at a stage of life and have moved around with furniture as old as the teenagers, so it's nice to find new furniture that will last and give new life to our home.

I've been looking for some good, affordable furniture all around the Birmingham area. So far,…read moreBadcock has impressed me the most. Their styles are pretty much exactly what I've been looking for. It's hard to find reclining sofas/loveseats that are both stylish and comfortable. The most comfy recliners seem to always look like they belong in man caves! Badcock is in the Palisades shopping center, so there will be plenty of parking, and the store is so big. Even if there were a handful of customers, you would be able to enjoy your shopping. The associate was very friendly and let me look around at my own leisure, unlike most sales associates can be. I will definitely be back here for my furniture needs. The photos I had added for their business page were actually some of the items I thought about buying LOL! So keep in mind, this is my taste, and their store offers many more styles than these.

I've heard of the Brass Bear when I've been to a few estate sales. So when I looked over while…read moredriving by and saw it, I figured I'd check it out. Kind of a mistake. It's a pretty big store, and there is a lot to see. I'm sure there are many fabulous items, but it's not really a place to "stop in and check it out." I think you have to both be in the mood/frame-of-mind to really look at everything and have the time to do it. You could very easily spend all day there. "Just browsing" isn't going to cut it. That said, I had neither the time nor the inclination to spend the time to really give it a good shopping. Instead I found it overwhelming, so I just politely walked most of the aisles only looking at the things that really jumped out at me. Because it was a Saturday, there seemed to be a number of vendors there, so I'm sure there are some interesting stories to be told, and they could surely help if you're searching from something specific.

I asked one gentleman at the cashier's desk if he thought a Vendor would be willing to negotiate over price of a specific piece of furniture and he quickly responded, 'Let's give him a call right now.' And sure enough, the Vendor did in fact work with me on the price and I went home with a chair I really wanted. Actually, there is a little bit of everything that collectors hope to see at the Brass Bear at reasonable prices. In addition, parking is free and convenient at the front of the store. Stop by one day when you have a free hour to treat yourself.
