GRQ Used Furniture

This place was certainly an interesting way to spend some time in Kutztown. I am always on the lookout for interesting furniture finds for my house. I think it’s fun to look for more vintage pieces to spruce up the look of my home. This store has no shortage of furniture, offering couches and such in a smaller front room, and then additional tables and bedroom sets in a much larger back room /​warehouse area. The prices themselves are phenomenal, but the specific pieces that they were currently offering just weren’t for me. If you have to furnish a full house quick and on a tight budget, this is definitely the place to come! However, if you are just looking for one special piece, you may need to come through here multiple times before you find that hidden gem as they cycle through their inventory.

GRQ does not reveal what the letters stand for, very mysterious. However, it is HUGE and very affordable, open Thursday, Friday, and Saturday and just past the train tracks over on Highland Avenue, in a former knitting mill. They only take cash or checks.
We have found a number of amazingly priced items, and my spouse has to drag me past the $ 1, $ 3, and $ 10 tables full of old glassware and knick knacks. He is right; we don’t need any more! But these old martini glasses tell a story. Oh well. Best to go in with a mission. And they will negotiate.
We thought long and hard about buying the old wooden pulpit to use as a book stand. Yes, you will see cool and unusual things: cooking stoves from around 1900, old jukeboxes, life-​sized plaster cows and pigs… The employees sing along loudly to the classic rock coming from well-​placed speakers. We always see college students in here, looking to furnish their apartments.
When the large loading door is open, it is freezing in there, and I occasionally smell cigarette smoke, but not on any furniture I have purchased.
