This is a great furniture shop, they have a large selection of unique pieces all over the store. Prices are very reasonable as well. Has a very hometown feel and everything is exceptionally laid out. This is a go to spot for me when I need a piece of furniture I just can’t find at a big box store.

This place is amazing! If you know your furniture you will know that many of the pieces are priced far below what you might expect. Especially at a consignment shop. The price tag on each item lists the initial price and then how much it is after it has been on the floor after some time. I purchased a wonderful wastebasket for $ 14. That may seem pricey but if you do your research you will know it is far from expensive. It is beautiful, unique, and made to last. The pieces you purchase at this store already have great character — vintage retro chic — and will last a lifetime. In effect you are buying a quality piece that will become — some may argue that it already is — an heirloom. I have worked for a very high end furniture maker and there are pieces at this shop that rival what we made at only a fraction of the price. I had a hard time leaving the place, lol. Check it out. You have nothing to lose. Plus, Tuesday Morning is next door so you can get more deals while you’re there. To the previous reviewers: Wabi Sabi makes complete sense for the name of a resale/consignment shop. Sure, if you are unfamiliar with the term you may think it is something other what it is but that doesn’t make it a bad name. That just means you don’t know everything there is to know. Read a book. And about the Better Business Bureau issue, if you have a problem like the one you listed, call the business. If you still have a problem contact the BBB. The BBB is there for just that, to protect the consumer and deal with possible problems with a business. Unilocal is not the BBB nor is it the place to file a complaint with the BBB. I cannot speak to the staff lacking people skills. The staff I interacted with are classy and knowledgeable, I was even lucky enough to speak to the owner and she is quite sweet.

Is Wabi Sabi a member of the Better Business Bureau? I have searched but cannot find it. This owner will not go far unless she changes her customer relations. Every time I have had a conversation via telephone or in person she has not had the people skills needed to run this sort of business. Her contracts for sellers are out of line so seller beware.

Bad name. Wabi Sabi? I didn’t know if sushi was involved… but here’s the thing: it’s a consignment store with nice quality home furnishings and accent pieces. Not crowded, decent selection. A little overpriced. Bottom line: if you need something fast go there(they might have it). Otherwise shop Craig’s List and what you’re looking for will turn up(and for a lot less money).
