El Paso Import

We were disappointed from literally the moment we walked in. One of the owners was working the store and was so off putting that we left before looking at everything. What we did see was fairly drab and not particularly inspiring. We found another rustic furniture store across town and had a very, very different experience (and refurnished our dining room and living room with their furniture).

My boyfriend and I wandered in late Saturday afternoon and instantly fell in love. Yes, the wood may be reclaimed and repurposed, but isn’t an amazing feeling knowing that no one else will ever have that exact same piece? Even better, knowing that the piece you buy is hardwood and doesn’t have a hint of particle or press board like everyone else? We bought a coffee table with a hinged top that doubles as a chest. It was made of reclaimed floorboards and is the perfect piece for our style. We can’t wait to go back for more pieces.
The staff was knowledgeable and really friendly. They waxed our piece before we left and shrinkwrapped it for the trip home to prevent scratches. The prices in the shop are great. Our coffee table was $ 250.

I’ve browsed here a number of times, and made my first purchase yesterday. The inventory changes every so often, and the store is always packed with interesting furniture — mostly tables, cabinets, and shelves, but lamps, chairs, and chests, too. It’s not a big place, so they’ve got tables stacked three or four high, which made it a little difficult to examine some pieces in detail. The staff was friendly and helpful, and helped get my purchase into my car. I am taking one star off as they do not offer delivery services, which would make it difficult for me to consider larger purchases. There was a sign by the register that said they could help you find a mover, though.
Things here have that «rustic» or «shabby chic» look, which means there are chips or dents in some pieces, and rough edges or uneven paint coverage in others, though they’re still solid and of good quality. Prices are pretty reasonable. I brought home an Indian coffee table with beautiful carvings along the edge, and rounded, carved legs for $ 200.
