Wow, I was excited to shop here but I will never shop here again. SO shady and selling broken furniture for 2 times the price almost. Just feels like a slap in the face to the idea of "Consignment". I know. they sell other things but I feel like the main part of the shop is a loss and that they are not compensating the creators the sell for. Just don't trust how staff were with me and how they were trying to sell to me/ following me around.

The gentleman there is extremely knowledgeable in the furniture that sells in his store. He has a good eye for quality furniture and I definitely recommend if you're in need for something looking through his inventory. He moves a lot of pieces so new quality furniture is coming in regularly..

Stumbled on this shop and was so enamored ! Half the shop is vintage, curated. You won’t need to sift through lots of low quality here. You can tell the pieces have been selected, and are priced as such. Awesome mid century selection, have my eye on a couple bigger pieces. The other half is an art / plants / decor and gifts shop that is such a delight to wander through. So many local artists.

I love the added side with pop art.

Such a cute little shop with local artists featured alongside gorgeous vintage furniture pieces! Furniture is super expensive, but they are vintage mid-century modern pieces.

My second time in the shop to pick up holiday gifts and there’s always such good finds here. The owners are super kind and helpful! I’ll be definitely be returning.

I would never recommend this business to anyone. Although they appear to have hundreds of beautiful midcentury and antique pieces, this business is run by shady, disorganized people who have been ripping customers off for years. To name only a few issues, they regularly falsely advertise and misname pieces (ex. "Solid wood" when it's veneer, "vintage" when it's new), price gouge everything well beyond an appropriate value, keep a disorganized and inaccurate inventory system, and are poorly responsive/helpful to inquiries and/or resolution for these known issues. Buy your vintage furniture literally anywhere else for an earthly price and avoid giving more money to these dishonest individuals taking advantage of people who just want quality vintage.I imagine the owner is just going to respond to this saying "you just don't understand how to price and curate a vintage collection like we do," and accuse you of picking on a "small business." If you'll notice their response to every other negative review (including on Yelp) is something similar, I think the takeaway is that is their only defense. Pretty illuminating that their MO is to make money, not to run a legitimate business or genuinely improve.

Very expensive second hand furniture. I am not an expert on the value of vintage goods, perhaps the prices are fair? However, my experience as a customer is that to shuffle through a cramped store filled like a junk shop only to see items priced as though it’s a high end furniture show room is very off putting.

I don't know why it took so long to check this shop out! In addition to having a large array of vintage furniture and other goods, there is an entire room dedicated to art crafts created by local artists which I thought was really neat. They also have a surprising number of plant pots and plants for sale.

Visited from LA while I was in town because my dear friend has her ceramics in the Maker’s Market, and now I’m searching for an equivalent experience in my home city. The shop was so well-curated and I was struck by how clean everything was! I’m accustomed to antique and vintage stores that are caked in dust, but you could tell the staff takes abundant time to clean here. Amazing pieces at the maker’s market aside, the mainstay furniture was all restored and cared for beautifully, and you can tell the owner has a serious talent for me buying vintage pieces and giving them a second life. My fiancé and I love the art and gifts I brought back home. Can’t wait to return next time I’m in Seattle!

Place is overflowing with inventory, pieces seem to be true MCM furniture but the prices are very high. Every console, sideboard, dresser is well above $2000 and not in good condition. Also big time smoke odor when you walk in - does not give you confidence that these are being maintained or stored properly. I am surprised they are able to stay open at those price points for a consignment store. A small houseplant was $50! We walked in and out within 5 minutes.

I love finding new spots in Seattle! I was searching for a graduation gift for my best friend and stumbled upon Big Whale Consignment and their artist collective! While it may just look like a vintage furniture store from the reviews, they have a whole separate half of the store where they sell work from over 40 small businesses and artists! I got my friend a beautiful card, a cute sticker, and a money plant, and they really loved it.Support small/local businesses and artists and go check them out!

I love the maker's market! So many beautiful crafts, ceramics, prints, and plants. It blew my mind how good it smelled in there. The furniture is of really good quality which explains the high price.

This place is overflowing with furniture. Most of it looks great. I have a hunch there is so much furniture because no one wants to spend 1-3k on decent used furniture. I’m sure if prices were lowered, things would sell quicker.
