Christy’s Fine Furniture On Consignment

The furniture here is cute, but we will not be back.
My husband and I stopped in today at 5:05pm. We saw a couch on their website we really liked so walked in to check it out. We know they close at 5:30, but figured we could make a quick decision about this couch.
There were two women working, neither were Christy herself, and neither greeted us as we walked in. As we walked around, one exclaimed to the other, right next to us (again, having never acknowledged our presence), «Did you realize it’s 5:30! It’s closing time!» It was 5:13.
We felt really uncomfortable and walked out. They locked the door immediately behind us. As in, we were right outside the door, and she locked it.
I’m posting this at 5:18, so it definitely wasn’t closing time. This is by far the most rudely I’ve been treated by a local business, and I have never felt so unwelcome in a store.

What a terrible experience. My wife and I knew they closed at 5:30, so made sure to get there we plenty of time. Walked in around 5:07 and spend a few minutes sitting on various couches. No one ever greeted us or acknowledged our presence. By the time we made a complete loop of the store, one of the women working loudly called to the other «Hey it’s 5:30! Yeah, just looked down at my watch and it’s closing time!» I checked my phone — it was 5:13. My wife and I looked at each other and knew we were being ushered out and left. The door was audibly locked behind us seconds later.
If you don’t want the business, close at 5:00.

Upon relocation to Kalamazoo, we found ourselves in a much larger home and needing to find a lot of furniture in a hurry. We checked out Christy’s hoping to snag some quality items at a good price and we found a great dining on set that works perfectly in our new home at a price we were very happy with. We got a much nicer dining set than we would have at a big box, new furniture store and we able to use he money we saved for new lighting. They don’t deliver but referred us to a very professional and reasonable delivery service.

Upon purchasing a much larger home, we are in need of new furniture, like a fair amount of it, so we’re not looking to spend an arm and a leg on what we need. I am so happy to have found Christy’s and I’m really surprised that they don’t have any Unilocal reviews yet! Christy and David were very helpful with our purchases and offered to keep an eye out for the other items that we were seeking. Their selection was stylish and varied and their prices were very reasonable. We will definitely be going back each time we’re in Kzoo. Important to note: they’re moving into the Mercantile Kitchen shop in a few months which is a few fronts over.
