Lovely items. However, in reading other reviews it sounds like my experience wasn’t isolated. The lady working the shop the day I visited was extremely rude to me and to whoever she was talking on the phone. I deigned to ask a question about a type of wood, and was rudely corrected. I really hope the store reconsiders who they have working the floor, because the merchandise is remarkable!

My husband and I were in town visiting from out of state, and I was so incredibly excited to visit this store, the one in Kensington, in person, as I have been following them on Insta for quite some time. We live in a 1949 home and have found ourselves purchasing mcm pieces we grew up with and had every intention of having something shipped home. Sadly we didn't even feel our presence in the store was desired. The woman present was very rude and made us feel like we should not have been there. Discussing her behavior with our family as we walked along antique row, it was apparent our experience was not isolated. No worries for us. We enjoy the search and hunt for fabulous pieces, get to choose who we buy from, and it will not be Mobler.

I contacted Doug and sent him cell phone photos of my cousin Carolyn's mid-century modern furniture that she hoped to sell before moving out of state. Doug responded that same day to say he was interested in seeing the pieces. When Doug visited my cousin's apartment, he paid her a fair price on the spot.It wasn't just business as usual. Carolyn told Doug the story of how she and her late husband had acquired the furniture years before. She was still teary with grief. As busy as he was, Doug was not too busy to sit down and listen compassionately, then share a story of his own loss of a loved one. This personal connection really helped my cousin feel very good about doing business with Modern Mobler.

This is such an easy review to write. I had an such an enjoyable and easy experience selling furniture to Modern Mobler! We had some family pieces that were no longer a good fit, so I reached out directly through the website. From there I communicated directly with the owner via text. Doug was responsive, so pleasant to work with, and gave me a generous offer. I won’t hesitate to refer friends or sell again. Support this local business!

Wonderful selection of MCM furniture but the owner was pretty rude. My wife and I came in ready to buy but felt we were being chased out, especially when other customers got a much warmer greeting. When we were told an item in the store wasn’t for sale we took the hint and left.

As lovers of mid-century modern, my partner and I very much wanted to like this place. This selection is objectively very good, but the service is very standoffish.Based on my observations, there seems to be a wide discrepancy in the service quality customers receive. The multiple times we visited we got a quick hello (or no greeting at all), short and curt answers to any questions, but then someone will come in after us and get fawning service. Maybe we look too young to have the budget for their merchandise? I'm not sure. But every time we have shopped here it has felt cold and unwelcoming.The woman who owns Pegleg Vintage is always incredibly warm, friendly, and eager to talk about her products. We shop there now.

When my mother passed away, I contacted several entities to see if they had interest in her Danish Modern or antique furniture. I chose to sell the Danish Modern furniture to Modern Mobler. The price was comparable to the other offer I received, but Modern Mobler understood that my goal was get the furniture out of her home as cost-effectively as possible. It therefore offered to take many more pieces than the other buyer.It was very flexible in picking up the furniture - taking some of it before I put her home on the market while leaving the rest for staging. It not only took the rest of the furniture right before closing, but delivered a few pieces to a family member's home at the same time.I highly recommend Modern Mobler if you are looking to sell Danish Modern furniture, especially from an estate.

Had a great experience with Modern Mobler! Everyone we talked with was kind, helpful and very quick to respond to any questions we had. Delivery was a breeze and we ended up with pieces we love!

Best mid century selections and style

Be prepared to haggle your heart out. The person here flagrantly attempted to gouge me and upcharge as much as 500%. Offering absolutely zero insight as to distinguishing marks that might make objects valuable and offering prices far higher that what were actually listed on the actual item. Do you think I can’t read? And they were extremely rude besides. Most unlikable owners in Kensington by far. Stay away.

Staff at both locations were very helpful, understanding about our price range, and knowledgeable about the furniture eras and products.

This store has by far the best selection of mid century modern furniture in the DC area (all original pieces, no reproductions). We were very happy with our purchase of a rosewood cabinet. They provided excellent service and delivery the same day.

The furniture and other items are exquisite and expensive, but the choice is really vast. The woman who runs the store is snotty and treats customers like intruders if she decides you can’t afford her furniture.

If you are looking for superior classic furniture especially from the 60's, Modern Mobler is the place to shop.
