stay away as long as Bret is working at the store. Josh would be doing himself a great justice to replace him or run the business himself. Bret is dishonest and a really good B S er so to speak. Forget about any kind of service after a purchase or him standing behind anything he sells you or promise he makes. It was a terrible exp working with him. I had a very similar experience as the lady who bought the lamp! it's comical the explanations he comes up with. He obviously either really believes people or very unintelligent or he himself is. stick to buying from the green ant or the post where you have honest owners and employees working there. Brian

Tl;Dr: A purchase at this store was a giant headache. The store owner is a very poor communicator and did not honor the original agreement despite repeated requests to do so. I won't return. This turned out to be such a strange interaction with Urban Vintage. I bought a lamp ($300) and was told when I purchased it that rewiring and new hardware (harp) were included if I wanted that. (See original review). I definitely did want that as the cord and the hardware were quite aged, unsightly and somewhat corroded. I left the purchased lamp at the store and waited for the work to be done. A few weeks later I received a text from the owner, Brett, who then called me to argue that a 40 year old lamp doesn't require rewiring. He spent 5 whole minutes explaining how the technology is the same today as 40 years ago and then asked if I still want the wiring replaced, to which I replied yes. He then told me it will be $50+ to replace the harp hardware and asked if I plan to use the existing shade (which the lamp did not have when I was in the store at the time of purchase) or if I would need a different size harp for a different shade size. I didn't need a shade and didn't know one was included when I purchased the lamp since it didn't have a shade on it at the time, so I asked if I could get a discount on the harp replacement (that I was originally told was included). I asked this question three times and Brett never answered my question. All he would say is that the price of the lamp is the same whether I take the shade or not and that I can choose the harp size I need when I come pick up the lamp. When I went back to the store to pick up the lamp, Brett told me that they had already chosen the right harp size and placed it on the lamp and it should not be changed and that I should not use a different size shade. I then asked how he determined that and he said it's based on the shade size, removed the existing shade and turned it on its side and said the diameter of the shade should be the same height as the lamp. But the shade was 4 inches shorter than the lamp. Oops. So then I asked why he's included a shade with the lamp that's too small based on his own explanation. He then went in to an elaborate explanation using an example of another lamp in the store from the Netherlands with a mini pleated shade from the 1980s as an example of how it's all just an artistic expression based on his lamp expertise and I should just trust him. This was the most convoluted and unnecessarily complex interaction to avoid any further discussion on changing the harp size that he had previously asked me to choose a size for, that I had previously been told I could customize, for the original price of the lamp, which again, was $300. I paid the additional $56 for the harp that was chosen for me, and got out of there. Needless to say, I won't be a repeat customer.

This is a great little place to find mid century modern furniture. Is an area where there's other similar auctions but this one's a good one.

Love this store - keep stopping by to see if they have something that will workIn my space. Alas today is Tuesday and they have not updated their Google maps listing to reflect that they are closed Sunday-Tuesday.

I've purchased multiple items from this place and couldn't be happier. Josh sells great quirky designer pieces and for a fair price (especially when you consider the quality and design of it). I don't live in salt lane but if something brings me there I always try and find time to stop in and check ouut his current inventory.

This place is attached to the Green Ant and has similar supply. A good selection of mid-century and mid-century inspired furniture at fairly typical prices for MCM - a little pricy, but it varies by piece. It's a nice space - on the smaller side, but definitely worth checking out!
