FAQ

About Our Furniture & Style

Why buy vintage and antique furniture?

Character & Personality: Vintage and antique furniture offers one-of-a-kind charm that mass-produced furniture simply can’t replicate. These pieces have lived through decades of changing trends and still remain beautiful and functional.

Quality & Craftsmanship: Older furniture was often built with better materials and stronger construction than much of today’s flat-pack furniture.

Affordability: Many people assume antiques are expensive, but quality vintage furniture is often comparable in price—or even less expensive—than buying new furniture of similar quality.

Sustainability: Choosing vintage furniture keeps well-made pieces in use and out of landfills. While many newer pieces were never designed to last more than a few years, many older pieces were built to be repaired, refreshed, and enjoyed for generations.

What kinds of pieces do you carry?
Our inventory regularly includes vintage dressers, buffets, cabinets, dining tables, nightstands, desks, bookcases, hutches, wardrobes, sideboards, and one-of-a-kind accent pieces. Whether you’re furnishing an entire room or searching for a single statement piece, we’re always bringing in something new.
What styles of furniture do you carry?
While many vintage furniture sellers specialize in specific styles, we don’t. We love it all! We mostly focus on finding quality pieces we think those in the Salt Lake City area will like. At times we may have several primitive pieces. At other times, we’ll have more mid-century modern, French Provincial, Victorian, or traditional pieces. It all just depends on what we come across. If we don’t have the style you’re looking for, keep checking back! And keep in mind that some popular styles may not stay in stock for very long.
Are your pieces solid wood?
“Is it solid wood?” is the most common question we get, but answering it is more complicated than it seems. A handful of our pieces are, in fact, “solid wood,” meaning there is no veneer—just solid chunks of wood. But most of our case pieces are all wood, meaning that they are made of a solid wood substrate with a wood veneer over top. It is actually rare to find pieces that are truly solid wood, and in some cases it’s not even desirable. For instance, you couldn’t have an elegant serpentine front on a dresser or book-matched grain patterns without veneer. Veneer has been used for well over a century, and use of veneer is not a sign of poor quality. While today’s veneer is paper thin (sometimes even thinner), antique and vintage wood veneer is usually thicker and stronger. In our experience, many pieces advertised online as “solid wood” are actually wood veneer over a solid wood substrate—which is often exactly how quality furniture was traditionally constructed. Sometimes concerns about a piece being solid wood stem from confusing veneer and laminate (a plasticky fiberboard). Laminate is not wood. Veneer is. We try to be transparent about the makeup of our pieces, but if you ever have concerns or questions, just send us a message!
Do you refinish pieces?
We always clean our pieces, and when needed, we use professional-grade products to repair and refresh some furniture. While we do occasionally completely refinish a piece before selling it, we do not offer refinishing services.

Buying & Viewing Inventory

Is all of your inventory on the website?
We try to post pieces on our website as quickly as possible, but because we are constantly acquiring new pieces each month, at any given time, there’s usually about 60–100 pieces not on our website. So if there’s something you’re looking for that you don’t see, feel free to message us and ask.
Can I see a piece in person before I buy it?
Of course! Though not a requirement, we always encourage buyers to see a piece in person to make sure they are confident in their purchase. Unless explicitly stated otherwise, all of our pieces are in good vintage or antique condition. There may be some age-appropriate character marks or signs of wear. We try to disclose these in the photos and/or product descriptions, but we always encourage people to see pieces in person when they can. Plus, we’d love to meet you! If desired, we can also arrange a video call to review a piece.
Do you have a showroom?
We operate from a 3,000-square-foot warehouse in Midvale, Utah. Visits are available by appointment. Message us to schedule a visit.
What are your store hours?
Right now we are open only by appointment. But we are at the warehouse frequently, so please message us if you’d would like to stop by, even if it’s just to look around.
Where do you source your pieces?
From all over! We mostly source our pieces locally, but we will sometimes ship something in if we think it’s special. We hunt and scour all around to curate a wide variety of quality pieces.
I am looking to sell some of my furniture. Do you buy from individuals?
We often buy furniture from individual sellers, particularly those selling several pieces or whole collections. If you think you have something we may be interested in, feel free to send us a message. We always offer buyers a fair wholesale price, an easy transaction (we will pickup or arrange shipping), and the promise that their pieces will be respected and well cared for.

Delivery & Shipping

Do you deliver locally?
Yes! For a reasonable fee, we offer delivery within 50 miles of our warehouse. This includes much of Salt Lake, Davis, and Utah Counties. Message us for a delivery quote.
If I live far away, can you ship a piece to me?
Yes! We ship vintage and antique furniture nationwide through trusted freight carriers. Message us if you have questions about shipping or to get a rough quote. Note that freight shipping can take anywhere from 2–8 weeks, and costs can vary widely depending on where you are located, how remote your area is, and current gas prices.

Holds & Payment Policies

Will you hold a piece for me?
We are happy to hold any piece for up to 14 days with a 20% nonrefundable deposit. Otherwise, it’s first come, first serve. If you need us to hold a piece longer than 14 days, a weekly storage fee may apply. Please message if you have questions.
What is your return or refund policy?
All sales are final and as is. We do not accept returns or offer refunds. We encourage customers to carefully look at measurements and examine pieces closely to ensure that they will work in their spaces. We want buyers to be as confident as possible before purchasing.
Do I have to pay sales tax?
As a registered business in Utah, we are required to remit sales tax to the state, but we fold the charge into the price so you don’t have to think about it. The price you see is the price you pay.
What forms of payment do you accept?
We accept most forms of payment, including Venmo, PayPal, cash, and major credit cards. Card transactions incur a 3% processing fee.
