South End Exchange

I love this place so much that it was on my list of must visit places now that I no longer live in Charlotte. Seriously Queen City residents, you don’t know what a gem you have here.
I was surprised to find that they had moved but I love that they have SOOOO much more space and inventory. You can finally see everything without having to dig for treasure although I kinda missed that part of the experience. They also have a lot more room to hang linens and curtains. I got a steal of a deal on some custom drapes — $ 95 a pair. Lined, goblet pleats, trimmed. Gorgeous. I would have paid $ 2000 to have similar ones made in SoCal where I live now. I miss you South End Exchange and the only reason I’m willing to write this review is because I can’t visit as often anymore and I’m willing to give out this terrific find.

I was in Southend for an event but had some time to kill so I stopped in here. This is a consignment shop that sells all sorts of home furnishings. I was not looking for anything in particular when I came in here but I’ve been looking for the right dining room table for forever and found something that might work here. The only problem is I think it was too big.
Anyway, the owner was willing to help me take it home, too big or not. I didn’t like the chairs that came with it and she knocked the price down to less than half and was showing me other chairs determined to make a full sale and telling me she could arrange delivery and disposal of my existing table.
But it still led to the fact that the table was probably too big. I walked out without buying anything but that won’t stop me from coming back here. This was the first place I’ve seen anything close to what I am looking for in a dining room table.

Mostly modern pieces and consignment. I wasn’t impressed with the inventory but I do enjoy walking from Charlotte downtown to south end, it’s a cute city.

I could spend all afternoon in here! Lots of interesting items that can really add a unique touch to any room… not to mention a great bargain! Fun place to bring out-​of-​town guests too.

I’m almost embarrassed to say that it took me 2+ years to finally stop in at South End Exchange and I live only a few blocks away!
I popped in here for a few minutes to take a look at their antique treasures — expect furniture of all types and sizes, lovely mirrors, glassware, vintage dishes, paintings and a whole slew of kitschy antique-​y fun to decorate a space. While I’m no expert in pricing antique or consigned furniture, the items looked reasonable for the condition and quality. I saw everything for a $ 5 (adorable) dish to a $ 1,600 sofa in a matter of minutes. I was especially diggin’ some of the really lovely and large antique mirrors — priced between $ 100-​$ 150.
Be aware that this place is *packed* with goodies and the quarters can be quite tight. Thus, if you really are seeking a treasure, make sure you devote some serious time to your search. Since I’ve only been in here once, I’m not sure how often the merchandise changes out, but based on the goods I imagine there are new items consigned on a fairly regular basis! If I were decorating a cool country space or simply adding some flair to my own dwelling, South End Exchange is definitely worth a stop!

I really liked this place because it has something for all budgets. Yes the larger furniture items are expensive, but then there are beautiful decorative items that can add a touch of class to a room for like $ 12. I wanted to redo my whole apartment with the things I found here. Give it a whole classy/​country look. Anyway, the selection is always changing like most consignment stores. So there’s always more beautiful things to choose from.

I found the South End Exchange while driving around running errands earlier today, and I was so happy I did! It’s a consignment store for home items, mostly furniture and antique furniture. You can find some very nice items in here, and if you have items you are looking to get rid of you could bring them here on consignment as well. What is especially nice about this place is that every 30 days the prices dramatically decrease if an item makes it that far. But judging by the location and clientele that was in there while I was searching, I bet that doesn’t happen very often. The store is constantly changing and items are consistently coming in and going out. Check them out!
