The Hunt Vintage

The Hunt has to be one of my favorite vintage furniture shops in Los Angeles. My husband discovered them on instagram and we have been faithful devotees ever since. Loads of amazing mid century finds especially seating, credenzas, artwork, bars, coffee tables, and unique pieces. Prices are pretty fare considering most of their pieces are original or custom made. We were looking for a narrow entry table and they said to just bring in a drawing and dimensions and the’d do the rest. They also have lots of great and inventive sales on instagram that make us giggle. My personal favorite was 20% off to whoever brought the owner a pastrami sandwich. They also carry an amazing selection of handmade metal wall décor that spell out your favorite destinations including «Highland Park» «California» and «Palm Springs.» This place always has new stock. Its become a regular weekend trip for us.

My friend bought a beautiful credenza from here so when we were on the hunt for one of our own, we had to check it out. I called to make sure that the Unilocal deal for 10% off with a check in could be applied to expensive pieces of furniture and Michael said of course. He also was very open to further negotiation for an even deeper discount if necessary. We went to the store, found the perfect credenza, and negotiated up to 20% off for paying cash and buying on the spot. This was such a steal because every furniture store was selling large wooden credenzas for, on average, 3 times what we purchased ours for at The Hunt.
Michael is funny, approachable, helpful, and is someone I am happy to bring business to. Note that this is a vintage furniture store and mostly everything is pre-​owned and in good condition. They also build custom vintage furniture (medium sized credenzas among other things) upon request.

The Hunt Vintage is a GEM of a store for lovers of beautiful and well-​constructed furniture! We purchased a brand new mid-​century modern designed credenza. It is made from solid walnut and absolutely beautiful. It is sturdy and we know it will last. We did a lot of research on this item and The Hunt Vintage had the best quality construction, in the best condition, for the best price. Michael, the owner of the store, was always reachable and was very helpful in answering our questions. If you are looking to buy beautiful, well-​made furniture, with style, that will last, you have to go to this store. And, even if you are not in the market to purchase furniture just yet, I suggest visiting The Hunt Vintage anyway, just to stroll the aisles, as the furniture pieces are works of art.

What a terrific experience we had shopping here.
The owner was incredibly helpful, offering a lot of information about the pieces we were looking at, plus showing us other options. A huge bonus is that they also have a great selection of custom furniture along with the antique /​vintage pieces.
Massive selection and very friendly atmosphere. Relative to similar places, the prices are incredibly reasonable. And they offer free delivery for local neighbors!

The furniture is nice, if not overpriced but the reason I am giving it 2 stars is because the guy working there, possibly the owner is so rude and dismissive.
I asked one simple question and was met with silence… yes, he just ignored me… what an ass hat.

Walked in there with my mom while waiting for our tacos. In love with this type of furniture I thought for sure I would be walking away with something but Staff was horrible. No one acknowledged we were even there. I asked a question on a credenza that was there and was ignored. I had been shopping around for the perfect piece for my living room and with out even looking I found this place. Having the money to spend I decided not to purchase there. They don’t deserve my money. I waited a while until I finally found this awesome man in Pomona who has been collecting for 45years. The service was outstanding. Paid more but I didn’t mind. Based on your reviews I won’t say you need to work on your customer service skills, Work on not being selective on who you would like to provide those excellent customer service skills.

Great place to find cool stuff for the homes I sell in Highland Park. Michael the owner, has good taste in the items he buys, but his attitude is the best. He makes you feel right at home, when you purchase a item from him, its like purchasing directly from your friend.

This store is great… huge selection. I bought a gorgeous dining room table and chair set… I’m obsessed with it! Michael the owner was extremely friendly and helpful and delivered the set himself for FREE! Wonderful experience all around, I will be back.

My husband and I loved checking out this local place on York. It’s probably our newest favorite furniture store in the area. We recently purchased a beautiful new changing table/​dresser and two night stands and are in love with them both!
The owner, Michael, is super helpful, and answered all of our questions. Also the selection was expansive and well priced. I noticed that there was more walnut colored wood, as opposed to the lighter «Heywood Wakefield» styles.
We’ll definitely be back.

Went in here a few times and never had a good experience — unhelpful, uninterested staff and mediocre selection. Their knock-​offs are cheap and flimsy for the ridiculous prices they charge and the vintage stuff is either gaudy or in very poor shape. Some items on the floor hadn’t even been cleaned (drawers full of junk, dusty and sometimes even broken).
Overall it seems like one of those classic gentrification side-​effects where you get charged way too much for the idea of the thing, when the actual thing is definitely not worth it.
Look around and you’ll find better.

Why aren’t there more reviews for this guy? Great prices and will negotiate with you. We bought a ton of stuff form him a couple weeks ago and wish we saw him sooner. He also through in free delivery. What are you waiting for?

Had a lovely experience working with Colin and Michael at The Hunt. They aren’t in the furniture repair business but very kindly helped me out with some Danish modern chairs that needed some attention. Really great pieces throughout the store and the prices are right. Will be back!

Highland Park got a dazzling new addition earlier this year with The Hunt Vintage, a Mid-​Century furniture, art, chotski and swag emporium, with pieces (and prices) so breathtaking, I’m trying to find empty corners of my house begging for a brass and glass Hollywood Regency bar cart and Eames rocker.
Located on York and Ave 53, this shop with an endless array of goodies was the brainchild of Michael Glotzer, formerly of Sunbeam Vintage and Vintage Apartment fame.
His quirky Instagram marketing is hilarious («20% if you bring me a #9 pastrami sandwich from Langers!»), but as his 8,000 strong Instagram followers can attest, his taste is not — well, all 5 New Kids on the Block fashion dolls in mint condition packaging is certainly questionable.
Best of all, if you can’t find what you’re looking for, you can get custom made credenzas, tables and nightstands made to your exact specifications. So far, I’ve had 2 gorgeous nightstands and a media credenza made that cost a fraction of what I would have spent for a ready-​made one.
I’ll be the first to admit, I was late to the Mid-​Century furniture game. Though I’d always admired the modern clean lines, I wasn’t convinced it would work with my 1920s Spanish house. Then in 2012 I met Michael and his lovely wife Emalyn who promised a Mid-​Century coffee table upon closing their house and the rest is history. Let’s just say that coffee table classed up the joint and gave me instant design cred. Needless to say, most of the West Elm moved out and the clean lines moved in.
Lucky for you, though it looks like a hoity toity Westside shop, it’s an Eastsider with fantastic looks at shockingly reasonable prices. So, why Ikea-​it when you can get a vintage beauty?
Oh yeah, the owners are really cool, this is a mom n’ pop shop, and they just had twins (!), so don’t nickle and dime them because you’ll get an amazing price.

My husband and I stopped by this spot while we waited for our pupusas down the street. As we looked around we feared that we would fall in love with something that would be way out of our price range, which is typically the case with vintage furniture stores and especially in the fast growing community in Highland Park. However, the owner greeted us with a relaxed attitude and casually mentioned that the prices were negotiable. This made us feel more open to exploring the place with an open mind. Despite having no intention of buying anything, we asked about the gorgeous Danish teak wood, mid century dinner table with extensions. We seem to be growing out of our existing dining room table and we’ve been discussing getting a new one. The table didn’t have a price tag on it so we asked about it, mostly to get an idea of what something like that would cost us for the future. Let’s just say that once he said the price we rushed to the ATM and immediately came back with cash in hand to prevent him from changing his mind. The deal wasn’t «good for a vintage store,» it was good in general! I can’t stop staring at it and am sitting at it now as I write this review! This beautiful table is the first piece of furniture that we have bought as a married couple and of this table is any indicator of what our marriage is going to be like then I know we’re luckier than most!
We can’t wait to see what other items we could purchase to adorn our love neat.
Thank you!
