What We Accept - Sell your gently used furniture with 121 Consignment Furniture

These are our general guidelines for accepting furniture and decor on consignment. If the items you wish to consign are not covered by these guidelines, please contact a manager to discuss the acceptability of your specific item. Please understand that we must be very particular concerning the condition of the items that we can accept.


121 Consignment Furniture accepts furnishings that are in "like new" condition and are typically less than 20 years old. The items must be of quality construction, have minimal wear and tear and are of a style that is in high demand and align with consumer tastes.
We will occasionally make exceptions for age requirements and unique pieces if the item is in "like new" condition, all other requirements are met and if we believe there is a demand for the item and/or particular design style. (e.g. mid-century modern)


*Any item worthy of consideration MUST BE from a smoke-free residence and free of pet dander.

  • 20 years or newer (exceptions made on a case-by-case basis.)
  • Solid wood construction is preferred, although veneered or engineered wood items may be considered on a case-by-case basis. "Knock-down" or self assembled items WILL NOT be accepted.
  • Lacquered, painted and finished surfaces must be consistent in appearance across the entire piece (especially the most visible areas such as the top and the front). All surfaces must be well maintained with no watermarks, discoloration, little to no scratches or noticeable flaws (a noticeable flaw can be seen from a short distance or illuminated under lighting.)
