Mod Livin’

I found my new favorite furniture store today! I have wanted to stop by for months but was afraid I’d fall in love with something (or everything) but it would be too expensive. I’m so glad I gave in because I was wrong. I left with 2 high quality ’70’s era pieces in great condition and cannot be happier! Jill and her sales associate were very friendly, helpful and gave us the best deal possible. Delivery was set with no hassle and I can’t wait to go back. Thank you for helping us fill our home with vintage pieces we will love for years to come!

I had great experience with this store.
I really appreciate all the extra effort Jill and Eric took confirming my order, following up on shipping detail and offering door to door delivery for a very low cost.
Eric gave great recommendations after looking at my space. I am looking forward to work with this folks again.

I have never given anyone one star but I truly feel like this place deserves it. Yes, they have beautiful furniture. The past two times I have been here we got treated horribly. The most recent was my mom and I offered what we thought a reasonable price for a table that had a big scratch and she wasn’t willing to budge. The prices here are absolutely insane. And trust me I will pay when I think it’s deserved. As we were walking out her and her friend were standing there talking about us. I will never go back because the prices are too high and custom service is extremely rude.

I’ve been furnishing an entire apartment and have dealt with DOZENS of stores /​e-​retailers over the last 4 months. None have been as wonderful to work with as Erick from Mod Livin’ — I really appreciate all the extra effort he put into confirming my order, following up on shipping detail across the country, making sure I received and was satisfied with my purchase. I love my new chair, and will look for other ways to work with Mod Livin’ going forward!

Jill and Erick and the best! I bought a sleek Blu Dot couch from them a little over two years ago. Some of the stitching at one of the seams was separating in a big way and was getting worse by the day. I contacted Blu Dot and they basically said, «Too bad.» I then contacted Mod Livin’, hoping they could point me in the direction of a good upholsterer, but they surprised me by saying they would take care of the problem. They had their own upholster reinforce the seam at their own expense. They didn’t have to do that, and I didn’t ask them to do that, but they know what great customer service is all about. Blu Dot won’t ever receive any of my business again but Mod Livin’ certainly will!
Thanks for customer service that went above and beyond.

This is my favorite mid-​century modern shop. After moving from San Francisco, it was great to find a shop with a wide variety at reasonable prices.
(I see others commenting about the prices… and they must be people unfamiliar with these authentic retro and designer pieces. The prices are fair — even lower — than others in the industry… and Mod Livin’ curates the best of the best as far as quality goes.)
Store personnel are always friendly, knowledgeable and happy to share their love for modern design. In the years I’ve been shopping here, I’ve started to feel like part of their extended family. Beth even knows my dog by name.
The only hiccup we ever ran into was with a retro/​reupholstered sofa we purchased last year. A couple of the buttons on the cushion came off… and they were happy to not only repair the cushions, but reinforced all the buttons and fabric free of charge. Standing behind their product was of utmost importance to them. They really went above and beyond the call of duty.
Mod Livin is a real gem in the design world and a fan favorite for certain. I’d recommend it to anyone looking for affordable designer furniture — especially for avid collectors.

Calling this place expensive is an understatement. From the outside and the Colfax address I was immediately drawn like a fly to a zapper. Who doesn’t love cute retro furniture? I should’ve known when I peeked in the window and saw a lawn gnome side table for $ 525 that this was not the spot for me but I ventured in anyways.
Beauty came at me from all directions. To say I was hypnotized is an understatement. I was looking for a skinny storage unit and found one in 30 seconds that was to die for. It was clean, sleek, had beautiful lines and looked (sorta) retro?!
$ 395.
My next question? Where’s the sale rack? Downstairs in the Bargain Basement seemed to be the only acceptable spot for me and even there the prices were astronomical. I found a dining room chair with a ripped cushion for over $ 200. Yes, this was in the «Bargain Basement».
Maybe I am just being angry and wishing I had the bank account to support shopping trips here but the prices still seem way too high to me.
Beautiful furniture if you have a CEO paycheck otherwise drive another mile to H&E Furniture and get nearly the same pieces for 97% off what they are selling for here.

This is one of my favorite places to try and find some crazy vintage stuff. I’m often completely amazed by some of the prices, but you can get some great ideas.
The staff really is good and every once and a while you can find a great little piece. I just wish it wasn’t so expensive.

If you’re not afraid to spend a bit more than average, Mod Livin’ has an excellent collection of vintage furniture pieces from the 50s and 60s. With an upstairs, downstairs and large main floor, they have a bigger inventory than what you may find elsewhere.
For me, Mod Livin’ is great for window shopping, but when it comes to actually buying I tend to balk at the price tags and I’m normally not one to hesitate shoveling out some money for a vintage mid mod find.
A pro for Mod Livin’ is that they have the space to hold large items like several full-​size couches or bed frames and a juke box, which other stores just don’t have the space to display.

We ordered the gus sofa sectional. I was nervous ordering an expensive couch online being that I lived in SF and they were located in Colorado. I got the couch today and it was perfect!
2 things that make this place stand out:
1. Great customer service! Erick was amazing & super responsive. Amazing care & very honest. It was very different than the service I got at HD Buttercup in SF. The customer service at HD Buttercup was not so great — on 2 separate occasions.
2. I was going to order this sofa at HD buttercup in SF when i saw the floor model and they said it would take 6 – 8 weeks! I got my sofa from mod livin within 10 days! Not sure why hd buttercup takes so long.

After trolling the South Broadway shops — where large-​glasses-​wearing-​skinny-​salesgirls sneer, and older antique dealer types don’t even raise an eyebrow at one’s entry to the store, Mod Livin’ was a breath of fresh air.
Amanda was delightful from the beginning of the sale to the end! I told her about my house, and she offered advice, suggestions, and helped re-​arrange the store so I could try out different chairs with my new dining table.
The remarks about pricing in other reviews surprised me — I feel like I got real furniture at pressed particleboard IKEA pricing!
I think it’s important to note that Mod Livin’ is a locally-​owned furniture retailer — not a thrift shop, bargain basement, or donation center. Expect a fair price and shop local.
Service note: After I made my purchase, Amanda herself put her hair up, rolled up her sleeves, disassembled my table, and helped me carry all the parts from the store to my waiting SUV out front. With a smile. THAT’s service!

I loved this place, went for the first time yesterday. As the other reviews state, this store has a lot of vintage 50’s and 60’s furniture and décor, as well as new modern and art deco. Amanda and Jordan were super helpful when I told them what I was looking for.
For those who don’t know, the store is made up of new products as well as 3 vendors who sell vintage furniture and accessories. It’s so fun to walk around. I ended up purchasing the Eames bird and I can’t stop looking at it. A very fun way to spend a Saturday shopping day.

A solid 3 stars = A-​OK.
You must be in the mood for 1950s and ‘60s furniture as that is the focus here.
You must like vintage (aka used) furniture.
If you meet the above criteria, then you will like Mod Livin.

As I was traveling down Colfax imagine my surprise as I notice Mod Livin right in front of me. Well I had to stop…
I popped on in and took a look around. A quick tip from me to you, make sure you go upstairs and downstairs — there are lots of goodies in both directions.
I enjoyed a lot of their light fixtures, some furniture, some of it seemed a little dated for me, maybe retro for other people. This may be an amateur statement but the prices seemed higher than I would pay. I am not a big furniture shopper but even if I had a million dollars I don’t think I would pay some of these prices.
When I buy a bigger place I will definitely be back to do some light shopping.

This is a good place to go if you need some new furniture, I think that they used to have better used stuff and it seems now they cater to more high-​end new furniture than they used to. The staff is knowledgeable and helpful.

If we had a million dollars and ten houses we would buy everything in this store. Actually we might get an office first. Then EVERYTHING! Okay no, you’re right, we’ll leave them with a little bit of stock so they don’t have to close down but not much at all. It’ll be slim pickings after we win the lottery and become property owners. That might not even be such a bad thing though because literally, everything in this store is amazing.
From Danish teak to Eames lounges and Saarinen tulips, Mod Livin’ is about as retro as you can get in the Queen City. Retro in a good way though, a mid-​century modern way, a I-wish-this-couch-didn’t-cost-as-much-as-my-car but maybe-​I-​should-​sell-​my-​car kind of way. They’ve been in business for ten years and not only because they pick up the cream of the crop and then put it within reach of us commoners with an adequate and amateur interior design interest. Mod Livin’ has also been offering residential and commercial design services since 2007 and is a large part of Denver By Design, this year hosting the pop up shop.

As much as I love mid-​century modern, I really can’t stand the ridiculous markups. Mod Livin’ is absolutely guilty of this and do it so ever pretentiously.
The selection was pretty good, but seeing as the staff doesn’t deem it necessary to look up even once when customers are in the store, I am guessing folks that come here already know what they’re looking for and are ready to pour out their wallets.
For me, I think I’d have better luck exploring the many reasonably priced thrift shops around Denver before making my way back here. Unless, you know, must have that chipped Eames chair selling at Design Within Reach prices.

Mod Livin’ is a furniture store that is either going to be a hit or mess — depending entirely on your taste.
Personally, I felt like I was walking into my grandmother’s house. Some of the stuff was incredibly old and dated.
They did have a cool assortment of modern furniture. However, the modern furniture was overpriced. Blu Dot stuff was $ 50 dollar markeup over MSRP. Crazy.
They do have good stuff for decorating your apartment. But I wouldn’t go there for more then that.

I’ve bought three pieces of furniture from Erick through mail order from San Francisco, and I have nothing but praise for him and his store.
Besides great prices and carrying pieces from a great range of designers, Erick has provided customer service that’s beyond almost anything I’ve experienced from any retailer, online or not. I won’t bore you with the details of How Erick Tamed The Furniture Designer With Great Style But Terrible Customer Service, but trust me, this is the guy you want to buy your modern furniture from.
They’re DEFINITELY the company that will be getting more of my business going forward. (And if you live in Boulder and can go their store, even better! Their showroom sounds pretty amazing by the accounts of the other Unilocalers on here.)
Thanks Erick and Mod Livin’!

My favorite furniture store in Denver!
Mod Livin sells a great variety of new and vintage modern furniture and accessories at all price levels.
The store is fun and the events they host are awesome.
Cheers to Jill and Erick for making their store a fixture on a rather gritty stretch of Colfax, and THE place for great midcentury modern furniture finds! I really love their passion and enthusiasm!
I wish I had more space in my loft for more of their furniture, and I couldn’t bear to part with some of the pieces I bought from them already.
Keep up the great work!!!
