Consignment stores are always fun to walk through because the the little treasures that you'll find. You know the saying goes, someones trash is another persons treasure! I love them.... I came here to help a friend look for furniture and found myself intertwine in rows and rows of miscellaneous furniture and decorative items. Some of the items were a bit over priced, even for the condition and uniqueness... However I did found 2 matching lamps at an affordable price in great condition that fit perfectly. I should really be an interior decorator =o) Any how lovely store and wouldn't mind coming again. I do like the one in Downtown as well.. read more

If you love shopping consignment furniture, this is your place. Like any consignment place, it is definitely hit and miss, but the fact that this place is a ginormous warehouse really ups the odds that you'll find something you like. I've purchased a couple of solid wood chairs from here, not more than $15 a piece. One was already redone in an Anthropologie style and the other has beautiful modern looking details in back. I love them. This is also definitely the place to find neat vintage picture frames and mirrors. It's all about reusing, people! Why waste resources on something new? Also, this place is great about taking your unwanted items to resell. We got rid of a lot of unwanted items that may have been too large to take to a smaller Goodwill type place. read more

I haven't really been in such a huge consignment store before. They do have a large selection of items. Everything, they say, seems to go pretty fast here. I went in twice so far in the last month or so and things changed quite a bit I noticed. Will be going back to check it out some more! read more

I LOVE this location! They have the best staff and usually better deals on the great finds here. I never go to Home Goods or any other store like that now because I can find better and more unique pieces for my home here, and for usually a far better price. read more

Heard about this place from a friend. Sold an elegant solid wood futon and mattress/pillow set from World Market. Drop-off was easy. It was a brand new item I bought for $500 and they wanted to sell it at $127, and split the sale. That was depressing but I'm guessing is industry standard. A couple weeks later I got a check in the mail and that was that. It was very easy working with them, so 5 stars for that. I dropped a star because I was disappointed in the sale value. I have not done enough research to know if my experience was pretty reasonable or if I could have made more money going another route or another similar company. I'm all for simple and it needed to be out of my garage quickly. They also brought out a towel so I could wipe down the dust after I unwrapped it. They were generally quite pleasant, but a little too busy and it felt a little like an assembly line. Can't fault them for that; they were efficient. read more

This is an update to a previous review. I had 2 chairs on consignment that hadn't sold so I went back in to pick them up and discovered they were on display but broken. They did give me the full price in a check I received today, a couple months after I called to work it out. So, they do keep their word, and I appreciate that! read more

This store is nothing short of scary. So much bad stuff at really high prices. I couldn't get out of there fast enough. And no one even said hi. Don't waste your time. read more

i have bought items and consigned many items through the Encinitas store. I have always had a good experience. Staff were all nice and helpful. I also appreciate the staff saying what they don't accept, that is just as important as letting you know what will sell. read more

Just spent longest hour of my life here. Went for simple drop off the blond gal in back was so unbelievably rude. She is known for that apparently. I bought some furniture. Waited half hour to have someone load it into the car- Although they weren't busy at all. Finally someone loaded a huge glass table into the back of my truck. He put it standing up even though I told him not to. Said it was so heavy it wouldn't move but is soon as I backed out the glass went flying. very scary could've been a very bad accident. Tami, The manager, who is the only one here that's friendly and knows what's going on came out and checked everything but won't be back. This place is junky overpriced and rude. I'm going to the new consignment place down the street from now on. read more

I had consigned here many times in the past without issue. However, the most recent time the staff accepting furniture was INCREDIBLY rude and demanding. Even my daughters were in utter disbelief! Who are the staff that they employ? Do that not realize that the people wanting to consign their items are what brings their company profit? It's apparent the staff is underpaid and not trained in customer relations. My family couldn't have been kinder to the staff, and their attitude and arrogance was not to be believed! Last time for me, and I highly encourage others not to waste their time consigning at this location. read more

Checked out there new clothing and handbag side (building next door) Very friendly ladies however I would definitely make sure you know your stuff before you purchase anything designer from them! She assured me a Chanel was real that it was lamb skin she had obviously never felt a real Chanel it felt like cheap vinyl. Also Chanel does not make parts that are removable like pockets made out of cheap fiber. They were asking 2495$ for a bag that looked like it cost $24.95 I would like to believe she genuinely thought that bag was real and wasn't trying to sell me a fake bag. read more

My Dad bought a curio cabinet for $13,000 about 10 or more years ago; absolutely beautiful cabinet hand crafted ivory colored carved wood, beautiful thick glass, a touch button to dim and control the lights; I mean just a gorgeous piece. We found the SAME one in this place for only $300 perfect condition about a year ago. My dad nearly sh** a brick he couldn't believe it haha! So now we have the same one sitting in our dining room. Half of our house is decorated by this place I absolutely swear by it they get such unique and amazing stuff! Save the money and come here before you go somewhere and pay full price for most likely the same thing and most items are in brand new condition. read more

i get that things are difficult during covid so i hate leaving a 1 star review but half the staff weren't even wearing masks and i saw movers loading things in without sanitizing them first. first off, the prices are crazy inconsistent. i fell in love with a chair that had some scuff marks and minor stains but was $269 while 8 foot tall dressers in perfect condition were literally $99. i emailed the store to ask if they had any financing/bargaining options and no response. i even emailed management and no response. it could've just been a higher end brand but walking around the store, there were a lot of high end things still cheaper than that so the prices were really off putting. pretty bummed but oh well read more

Sarah is great and always very helpful. I have never had a bad experience until today. While I was waiting for Sarah to price my items I browsed through some of the merchandise that had just been brought in. In a very nasty voice a woman working there (think her name was Esther) said "This is not a shopping area. I have to do my job and price items." I wasn't even looking at something she was actively pricing. This employee needs some education on how to talk to the public. Not a good representative for your company. I was so taken aback at being spoken to in that manner. There were so many other ways she could have handled it if she wanted me to move away from her area. I can certainly bring my items elsewhere if employees are going to be rude to the customers. read more

I've been in this place multiple times over the last 15 years. Many things are overpriced, imo, but I've gotten a couple of things that worked out well. I wouldn't sell anything there though after talking to them about their consignment policies and lack of pick-up options. But I'm mainly writing to warn people about buying art prints. Every time I've been there over the past 15 years, they've had Modiglianis and Chagalls, and other famous art prints on the walls. Every. Time. They're not cheap, although if they're authentic, they'd be a good deal. But that's the question, isn't it? Are they real? I find it hard to imagine clients constantly bringing these famous prints in for consignment so that somehow the store is never without them. Admittedly, these artists are some of the most forged in our history so maybe a lot of customers have them, but it's hard to fathom. Perhaps they're legitimate prints, from a legitimate source, I certainly hope so. But this is very important: If you're going to buy a print by a famous artist, be sure you receive a certificate of authenticity that is legitimate. Not some certificate printed off some fake authenticating website, which is a common practice with faked art prints. Do your research on the history of the art and the size of the editions, as well as the certificate's authenticity. If you don't have a legitimately recognized certificate of authenticity on your print, it won't be worth the paper it's printed on. Might as well slap a poster in a fancy frame. read more

I have bought a few things from this place. They get stuff in all the time & it's fun walking around in their warehouse. We bought a buffet table that is almost "Art Deco" for the master bedroom & it looks really cool & serves a purpose for a lamp & other things. Check this place out. read more

This is good to find things but do not consign things here. They were horrible! took my items and then said they didn't sell when I went the next day and they were gone. Apparently they were transferred to another store and did not tell me. read more

I sold a table and chairs with them and it was so easy I'd do it again. I pulled the hula-mobile around back, they helped me unload the stuff, minimal paperwork, we negotiated a price (as in, she said, how about $x? I said, sure!) and off I went. A few weeks later, I got a check. Ok, the first time they sent the check, some bonehead messed up my address and the check was returned, but they got it to me soon enough. read more

I really believe they're overpriced. I got a lawyer bookshelf with glass and the drawers did fine until someone delivered it. They have some nice jewelry. I got an opal ring once, but I do think paintings and some furniture is overpriced. If they price them they should have an appraisal reason why. I like their store there connected on the corner by read more

If all of the old people in Encinitas died and decided to sell their crappy, ugly furniture for WAY more than it would ever be worth- that would be this place. Stained four hundred dollar love seat?! No thanks! read more

Yes, "hit or miss." Smaller selection (floor space). Limited chandeliers and lighting. Much more selection of these items (and better consignment location for lighting) at San Diego location off I-5. No entrance greeting offered nor spoken acknowledgement to customer for being in the store. No offer to help customer shopping, by coming out from behind the counter (but if the clerk is going to stay there, absolutely do NOT yell across the store something insincere about helping). Silence may be better at this shopping venue. Look around and find something that might work for you or just walk out empty-handed unnoticed....Store personnel are perhaps used to people just wanting to browse and not be hassled. Signage marking entrance to store location in corner of strip shopping center could be enhanced. read more

NOT WORTH THE TIME and EFFORT! I had an estate situation in an isolated rural area so an in home estate sale made no sense...I thought I'd give these guys a try and started bringing smaller items to consign...despite a bit of an "attitude" from the employees...things went o.k....They did seem a little picky as to which items they would except ( fair enough) When it came time to bring in the larger pieces of furniture they recommenced a delivery company (Paul's Delivery) who i must say did an excellent job...because Paul knew CC's standards and would help us select the items that would be acceptable to Consignment Classics ...Paul and his crew showed up and diligently went through the property with me and helped select the properly acceptable items to C.C.'s standards ...they carefully loaded and.. hauled them to the Consignment Classics location ....I followed (later that afternoon) and met with the "sour faced"!!! representatives at the store...much to my disappointment they said about half the items were unacceptable!!! ...then had the GALL to ask me if i could make arrangements to take the items elsewhere!!! ( I just had "their" recommended delivery service drop off the items)!!!!" I thought all these items were at par with items offered in their showroom!!!!???? Finally, when i later received payment for the items they did consign... it was a pittance compared to the value of the items the expenses and efforts to get the items to them! In hind sight I would have been better off donating the items to D.A.V. and taking the tax right-off ( which I did with the remaining items.) I was really anticipating and counting on better results with this business....what a letdown. read more

This is the largest consignment furniture store around. I've purchased some beautiful large pieces here at excellent prices, as well as many small decorative items. The staff are nice if you approach them, but they leave you to wander on your own for the most part. This is my favorite consignment store, primariy due to the regular turnover of merchandise, discount policy, and amount of stock on hand. read more

The furniture we were looking for was not all that great. There are a lot of pieces here that are badly damaged (in all types of furniture, not just what we were there to get). However, there were a lot of great finds for upcycling or refinishing. We left without finding anything. But it was worth the shot. read more

Huge warehouse full of furniture and all the amazing off beat nick naks I didn't even realize i needed for my home! I often try to go here just to look around but can never leave empty handed! There is always something amazing that I just have to have! I once found a Beatles White Album tin lunch box here! This place is amazing! And they have even opened a clothing consignment shop right next door that has designer jeans for cheaper than most other designer clothing shops. read more

Love this place. Never know exactly what you are going to find since inventory is constantly changing!!

I regularly bring things to consign. They are helpful and courteous in anything I need. I always find things I am looking for too. I would say go there first for shopping. They have great prices. I know they are not a place that takes junk or items that are not just gently used, so don't expect them to take your badly warn stuff. The clothing store is another part of this store. I don't find that the clothing department is somewhere I personally can shop and consign at. The gal who runs that store turns most items away. I had a new pair of shoes that would be great for New Years wear and she said they were summer shoes. I bought them in November. I also know they don't take too much for the larger women. So I don't shop there anymore. read more

Decent selection and prices on knick knacks. There are isles of glass wear, picture frames, & people's old used kitchen utensils. I did see a good selection on vases and crystal stem wear. If you want to shop with out buying new stop by they may have a good price for what you want. read more

Love coming here ... You never know what you're going to find and it's enjoyable process all the same. I lucked out last month and bought a Beautiful hand carved wooden curved screen and they were kind enough to help me into the car with it. I see it every day and smile. Thank you read more

First time in there I found the dining room set for which I had spent months looking. Gorgeous Rosewood and classic (non-fru frued up) design. VERY reasonable and I feel good giving a second chance to this table and six chairs. Chairs and table from different sellers but go beautifully. Brilliant display personnel. Sales people, especially Jessica, a dream and the craftsman, Carlos an absolutely superb magic maker. Carlos and Steve delivered the table and chairs the next day - even called before to tell me en route. They went way out of their way in assisting with the old table. I cannot say enough good things about the experience. I will have to go back in the future and I urge the untutored (in consignment- like me) to go there. Honest. reliable, beautiful, quality furniture and great prices. And the people are fantastic! read more

Do NOT use Consignment Classics to sell your items. Use My Sister's Attic or any other consignment location. They pulled some very suspicious stuff and I have contacted Better Business Bureau. First, as others have noted they will tell you to bring your stuff over, and when you do they tell you that they have too much of the same and can't sell it for much. Despite the beautiful custom chairs and table worth over $1200.00, I decided to sell it for $500 because I couldn't pay to bring them back to my house. After my first three months, I suggested they separate the table and chairs. Instead they lowered the price and told me they wouldn't do this because it won't sell. Within a few weeks I went to the store and saw the table was sold but the chairs were still there. They gave me a story that someone bought the table and re-consigned the chairs. After stumbling on words, the sales person had openly told me that no one bought the chairs but that they were done doing business with me and the chairs were now theirs to sell. I told them this was not legal and to try and quiet me they chose to lower the prices of the chairs. The sales rep stated it is legal because they sold the table for the amount I had consigned with them. They knew all along they could sell the table alone for the amount they told me on paper for both items. Needless to say all 8 custom chairs sold as well. The consignment store pocketed 50% of the table and 100% of the chairs they sold separately. I won't ever buy anything from them either as they don't deserve to be in business. read more

Ok, so I normally don't like to give away any of my secret places but Consignment Classics in Encinitas is not quite a secret anymore. I love this place and for the most part they have great pricing and a helpful staff. My favorite part is that you can place a courtesy call on an item for 24 hours! Buyers remorse, not here! read more

good selection, decent prices - be careful of the new stuff mixed in with the used stuff.

Don't bother them! The woman I met at the back door was exceptionally rude. Not just to me, but the poor woman ahead of me as well. I think her name is Kathy. She couldn't have been any more awful. Last time I was in the woman taking in items told me to take a few pictures of what I had so she could tell me what they'd sell them for. Not this on,. She told me to " bring it in or don't bother her." The other lady working there was trying to explain her terrible attitude to me. Never again... read more

Had a nice little Sunday with the lady, we did have time to stop at this gem of a thrift store. They have tons of goodies that you can peruse looking for that perfect compliment to your living space. They can set up up with penski if you need a workout or just enjoy moving heavy objects or they can also refer you to some movers that will hook up the swap for a good price. May be a little expensive but hey money makes the world go round and ya can't take it with ya so might as well spread it around a little, right? read more

Great people to deal with! Suzy made me feel right at home with their kindness, patience, and thoroughness! I completely trusted her prices to sell for. Now I want to shop there for furniture's and stuff. read more

After telling us we could not buy the table a week later I called back and it was still there. So they sold me the table at fair price. They came through in the end! read more

This place has everything you need to furnish a home, from a gorgeous one of a kind dining table, to antique crystal candlesticks. The jewelry is not displayed well and hard to get someone to show it to you, but it is worth the effort. I have found some amazing one-of-a-kind jewelry pieces there. I have also consigned items there. It is easy to do and their policies are clear. They are helpful and friendly, both when you are buying and when you are consigning. I recommend going out of your way to take a trip to Consignment Classics. read more

What a long, painful learning experience doing with Consignment Classics has been. Looking around there takes a lot of time, and yet that's only the beginning. They're not in the truck rental business. Upon buying the 1st item I bought, an armoire, the sale gal insulted me and was adversarial from the start. And what a surprise that was, but it only takes one to spoil a bunch. With all 5 items purchased outside, they spent a whole lot of time making fun of my new absolutely beautiful armoire possibly for my 'benefit'. And they allowed that item to be damaged in the breeze and I'd 'swear' someone deliberated dinged up the wood beside make the door able to be closed right. Who are these people? You'd do better elsewhere in buying but especially in selling things back to them. The store did not want to buy anything back! But eventually, I called one of the owners in the San Diego store and he had them buy back all items I purchased. It would have been more (financially) beneficial to just give it all away or throw it away because it was a hassle and required a rental truck and a helper. I found it all to be long drawn out series of negative, stressful, life changing happening of events with selling my furniture back to them that changed my attitude of everybody who worked in the store...except that one owner in San Diego I talked with over the phone. Very negative experience, and very strange untrustworthy people. There are better furniture purchasing experiences, like not even to buy anything because what I had was already good. read more

I really love this consignment store! I always stop in after finishing my workout at the gym next store. I've found so many lovely things here for such good prices. A new glass table fir my living room for $35, two matching rot-iron bar stools for $20 each, beautiful cooking ware for as low as $1 and a bright green floor lamp for $10 all in wonderful condition. This place is great, not like some junky thrift store. They only take nice stuff, and sell it for a nice price too. It seems like every time I'm making a purchase, however, the women are on the phone while they ring me up and don't bother to greet me or thank me or anything. I don't think they are trying to be rude, but they just get too busy, and it comes off as unprofessional. Other than that I have never had any problems though so whatever read more
