Savvy Snoot

I have had a similar experience with «lost» consignment items. You can’t get through to anyone at the store unless you go in person. Other people I know have done work for the store and never been paid, and the owner just ignores bills and calls. Maybe this place is a good deal for people who are buying things, but that’s because the owner is careful to never pay anything he owes.

LOST OR STOLEN CONSIGNMENT?
Beginning in late May of 2012, I brought in the first lot of items to be consigned. These included a pair of paintings 36×24 framed acrylic pieces by an artist whose work typically sells for $ 2500 for this size painting. The pair of paintings were sold for $ 1800, which is to say that they sold at a 2 for one price, for which I received $ 900.
the next piece was a 36×48 framed piece whose frame at wholesale cost $ 485. Again this painting was sold at $ 800 which netted me less than the cost of the frame.
Then, there were the two paintings that Went Missing!
A Painting by Richard DeQuattro which I had paid $ 2750 for IN 1978, before he became famous! By 2005 his works were selling for about $ 20,000.
When I went to pick up the consignment items, in the winter of 2013 I was told that the owner had taken the DeQuattro home to decide if it would fit into his own home. ANOTHER consigned painting was also missing. THIS WAS PRICED $ 900…WHICH SHOULD HAVE BEEN THE PRICE THAT I WAS TO HAVE RECEIVED NOT THE SELLING PRICE!
I called every few months to check on the status of these paintings and went by the store several times. Each time I talked to a different person who seemed to know less and less about what had happened to the consigned items.
I have been working for the last three years to get my paintings or my money.
NO FOLLOW UP! THE OWNER HAS REFUSED MY CALLS ON AT LEAST FIVE OCCASIONS. THERE SEEM TO BE NO RECORDS. There does not seem to be a signed contract. Pretty loose bookkeeping does not include keeping up with the seller’s property.
SELLER BEWARE!!!

I’ve worked in interior design and had my own co. in Cali & I love this place, both the consignment shop and the more upscale store filled with gorgeous, high end fabrics for draperies, furniture, etc. You can find some hidden well priced gems in the consignment store and the sales staff is always super friendly and helpful. This is the best place to go when you’re in the mood to find a unique piece or just browse the wide array of merchandise.

Good luck getting money for any furniture you consign with them. Even if you know it sold. Owner does not return phone calls so you have no place to turn. Run from this company, consign somewhere else.

We ordered and paid for a bed priced at almost $ 1600. It seemed expensive based on the deals around town but it was a fabric we were excited about. We were told that the bed should be done and arrive if we were lucky in 2 weeks but certainly in three weeks. This was directly with the owner of the company who took our payment.
No one follows up with the store –you call and many days nobody even answers the phone. It’s now been seven weeks and there is no bed. Two weeks ago I was told it was because the fabric was backordered !! I hit the roof because surely someone should’ve called and told me that right after we ordered the bed!!!
I have so far found this company very untrustworthy. If the bed finally shows up and is of good quality I will post another review — but the customer service and follow up has still been a nightmare.

Rude Customer Service:
I purchased a table and chairs from them (Marty Mason) in late December 2014. I had a nice sales experience and they were able to deliver the table and chairs the same day due to it being a slow day. I am happy with the quality and uniqueness of the table and chairs, but when I returned to the store for help with my receipt I had a very rude sales-​lady. I waited for her for 20 minutes while she waited on another customer, and when she was done with the customer she told me I had 3 minutes since she was going to a Hawks game for the night. Keep in mind that I had just spent $ 3,200 a few weeks ago on the table/​chairs and all I needed was to know the original price of the table instead of the discounted price. She was totally rude which is disappointing as I really enjoy the pieces they have. I enjoyed the sales experience but the customer service is lacking at best.
Caveat Emptor — Customer Beware.

TERRIBLE. I tried consignment with them and never received a full inventory of my items, even after four months, multiple emails, phone calls, and even going on site. They are rude, unprofessional, and made me feel unwelcome every single time. I would highly recommend NOT too consign with that store. You would be better off taking your item (s) to a charity thrift store.
Each time I called I was told something, and once on site, I would be told something else. I am now picking up all of my items, after waisting my time for 4 months.

Very disappointed. I consigned a number if nice pieces here on the recommendation of a friend. No better results than any other consignment store and I had to hound them for payment. I felt like I was cheated. Better off donating to charity and taking the deduction.

I consigned a table a year ago and when I called to say a friend of mine had been in to see if it sold I was met with a bitter accusation that I was spying on them. I had moved out of state. I was told it hadn’t sold and to send my friend back in to prove it. Called again months later and was told the data base had been disrupted and my information was lost. HMMM. they claimed a different original price from what I had seen on it and then they emailed me a receipt (after so called much searching there data base) that was not signed indicating it had sold for 50% the original asking price. AND this receipt was not signed! I had signed one when I brought it in but of course I lost it in the move. Word to the wise keep those receipts! Not much I can do about it now.
Shifty Snoots!

As a designer that has left several high end designer pieces there I would have to say that I always been extremely disappointed in the the way the choose to display the piece or pieces, which is amazing given that is a company owed by designers, so needless to say one piece I just had picked up and gave a to friend, after they displayed a high in table in the middle of four poster bed with another table stacked on top of it and the piece I have their which is a high end French Empire Armoire is displayed so that you can’t even open the doors completely and it’s surrounded by a nothing but stacked junk, so needless to say I am going to have this piece picked up and given to a friend as well.
In addition I have removed them from my resource list for my clients and my design consultanting site as well.
As for the staff they all tend to have attitude, which is strange since they are the ones that are having to work and you think make money, but then again maybe it’s just a tax write off buisness, which a lot of designers are know for!

This is my first review. It was important that I write it because of a few reasons.
I walked into the store and was immediately in awe of the pieces for sale. I loved the layout of the store and planned to spend quite some time browsing in the hopes of furnishing my newly built home. As I stood admiring a wonderful piece of artwork, the gentleman working this past Saturday, walked by me, said excuse me, and walked over to two (caucasian) women to ask if everything was ok and if they needed anything. They said they were fine so he proceeded to walk back past me, said excuse me again, and then returned to his seat behind the counter! First off, I never play the «race» card but there was no other way to analyze this situation! I stayed in the store another 10 minutes just to see if he was purposely ignoring me or what… needless to say… He said nothing. Racist? Perhaps but I’ll leave you to form your own opinion… I know I’ve formed mine.

I’ve been back here every weekend since I found this place, and so far i’ve purchased 2 barstools, a wine cabinet, a kitchen table, a pot with reeds, and a bench for my new apartment. I’m glad i’m moving closer by… I’m already a regular. It’s like discounted Anthropologie. I LOVE IT!

On a failing attempt to find a tv/​media cabinet we ran into this place. I had seen it online while googling furniture in Atlanta and thought there was no way I was going to afford anything here. I was so very wrong.
This place is definitely savvy but not so much snooty. We found an amazing media chest and before we could talk him down on the price, he offered up a lower price on his own.
It was inching towards closing time and my car was too small to fit the piece but they were so nice and accommodating. We found a friend to meet us right at closing. The gentleman who sold us the piece and my friend Steven loaded the piece into Steven’s truck. No fuss, no hassle, and no attitude about us holding them up.
If only all my furniture purchases were this awesome. I’ll totally be back the next time we need something «new.» I see now that consignment furniture is perfect for me.
Plus, a note to add, I totally feel like a grown up with this gorgeous media chest that will probably last for decades. Awe-​some.

I’ve got to concur with the other reviews; all they say is true. I’ll simply add that this place is great fun to visit, there is no pressure, and it is different every time.
They screen the items they will accept on consignment. If it doesn’t have some special pizzaz or cool factor, they won’t take it. I like furniture. I see a lot of furniture. At the Savvy Snoot I see things I have never seen before.
This is one of the most enjoyable stores in Atlanta to visit. Even if you are not shopping for furniture at the moment, the Savvy Snoot is a worthy experience for its own sake.
In the category of consignment stores, this has to be as good as it gets. 5 stars.

No matter what your style you’ll find something you love and probably can’t afford here. If you happen to be working on an 80s historical documentary there are some lovely white and pink dining room chairs that are great period pieces.
A yellow and orange vinyl couch that Ronald McDonald would love? You’re in luck too!
There are a few wacky pieces here, but most are contemporary and beautiful and could fit in a cottage house in Inman Park or on the 20^th floor of 1010 Midtown.
Some of the prices here seem way high. Like how is this consignment high? I’d talk to those that work there and see if you can get a better deal. The staff here are awesome. They really know their stuff.
I just snagged a table from their half-​off room and got a great deal. Look around. You’ll find something you love!

It might be hit or miss in terms of actually walking out with something you love, but it’s always a hit for finding things worth seeing. A great collection of consignment pieces from varying styles: whether you lean contemporary or traditional you can probably find something to pine for here. It’s just up to the price: some things are quite reasonable while others still seem astronomical to my budget-​conscious mind.
I was a big, big fan of the clearance room and some of the bargains there, stacked one on top of another. Staff was quite friendly, the birds kinda creeped me out, and it seems like they have really quick turnover of goods. Be sure to check it out next time you’re on the Westside– it’s certainly worth a peek.

After I moved to Atlanta post college, I went about six months without a couch, having to double my bed as a sitting space for visitors in my studio apartment. Living like a pauper, I eagerly awaited my tax return so I could blow it on this vital piece of furniture – and blow it, I did. After grimacing at the boring pieces that places like Rooms to Go had to offer, plus the beautiful-​but-​budget-​busting sofas at Ethan Allen, I went driving around the Chattahoochee Industrial District. About to give up on the 1990s Seinfeld upholstered disasters, I tried one last store: Savvy Snoot.
Then I saw it.
A beige, camel-​back Century piece with two-​toned paisley-​like swirls, reduced to 30% of the exorbitant suggested retail price. Delivering the sofa to my home and forcing it up the rickety stairs almost caused a serious squabble amongst my mother, sister and me, but it was worth it.
Finally, a place where my guests could rest their weary shoulders.

Cannot say enough good things about this store in the Westside Design District. The name reflects the pieces, not the prices or the people. Beautiful furniture and accessories at unbelievable deals! Perfect for someone like me who favors an acquired look, as opposed to «I just transferred the Crate and Barrel catalog into my living room.» The back of the the store is more like an antique market where you have to snoop for hidden pieces, and the front is being redone into a vignette showroom. Super friendly staff makes shopping even more pleasurable. Highly recommended!
