Triage

I have a love/​hate relationship with Triage, and it relates to the split between the furniture/​clothing sides.
On the home décor side, I had GREAT experiences. I spent several hours (and lots of money) browsing their store, and even efficiently consigned many pieces with them. I still can’t believe this gorgeous antique china cabinet I got from them for cheap, and another ornate HEAVY mirror for an absolute steal. I really liked the staff there too, although one time I –did– have to prompt them to send me a check for stuff I sold with them a year after it happened. But that was not the issue.
On the clothing side, I tried to consign with them THREE times, and each time they found some sort of excuse as to why they wouldn’t open an account for me. Pieces that were «approved» in the first round were rejected the second and «approved» again the third time. No consistency. It was ridiculous, especially when what I was offering them was in much better condition than some of the outdated, worn-​out crap that was out on the floor. Maybe they had leniently accepted too much in the past and were over-​correcting, I don’t know. Maybe they just didn’t like my appearance and judged I wasn’t worth the effort or not wearing enough designer names, who knows. I never saw much I wanted to buy there either, so maybe it just wasn’t my taste.
5 stars for the home décor side, 2 for the clothing half.

Clothing is super organized with labels like Michael Kors, Ralph Lauren. I didn’t see high end labels. The furniture and home décor section was great. .

I’ve had one bad experience after another with Triage. I had some very nice articles of clothing to consign and they have entirely too many rules for a second hand store. I tried on 3 different occasions to take my clothing there and there was always a reason why they could not help me. I won’t go back there. Just plain annoying and a waste of time. Also the items they do have for sale are very overpriced. I won’t be coming back!

OK, I don’t like leaving bad reviews online (not just Unilocal) and slept overnight on this decision before I decided to do so.
First let me give you a background…
I used to do closet organizing in Seattle and had a relationship with 3 – 4 consignment stores and consigned my own clothing regularly. I’ve probably been in and out of over 30 consignment shops across the country because I love them. I also care about other consignors so I have to leave this review.
I have NEVER been treated with such lack of respect and lack of interest as a consignor anywhere else in my entire life and I am 40!
The woman who I talked to and who agreed to look at what I brought in didn’t orient me to the process or even tell me what to do. She nonchalantly told me to hang my clothes by the entrance and didn’t bother to let me know when she was done so I could leave for my appointment. She took them to a back room to review them (WHY?). I waited for 20 minutes without anyone telling me or signaling me that the «grand review process» is over (10 items and 6 jewelry pieces!). When I asked, the lady at the counter was gracious and told me that my clothes are put back on the rack by the doors where I was told to leave them without any grace in the first place. The lady who picked up the clothes put the 4 – 5 pieces she liked in a paper bag next to discarded items and didn’t even bother to speak to me face to face.
This experience was very very disappointing. The prices are way too high. But that’s not even the problem. I didn’t feel respected as a human being. If you are a consignor, stay away from this place.
Warning: I think that they make you wait a long time to «review» the clothes you brought in so you spend money there before you can leave with your items. That may also be why she didn’t tell me that she was done reviewing so I wouldn’t break away from shopping while I waited.
If I could give this place a minus 10 rating (1 being the worst, 10 being the best) in terms of treatment, I really really would.

DO NOT CONSIGN at Triage! They lost my merchandise that I consigned including and not limited too coach bags, designer shoes and clothes. They actually had the audacity to say it was my fault. Triage should learn how to teach their employees the correct way to input new merchandise into someone’s account. I will be sure to tell everyone I know how poorly managed this store is.

Was on a little vacation and stumbled across this place. The most wonderful selection of furniture to meet everyone’s taste. CONSIGNMENT HEAVEN! One employee was saying each month there is about a 70% turnover! And sales are always going on according to the date it came into the store. Oh yes, yes, I will be coming around once a month to check everything out!

I bought a beautiful Ann Taylor suit for half off here. I will be coming back!

Best mid range consignment in Tampa. I’ve found some amazing designer clothing for next to nothing. Everything from Gap to Tory Burch to Louis Vuitton. Very friendly staff! Stock changes really quickly. Big sales a couple of times per year. Closes early on Saturday — four!

First visit last Saturday and we amazed and impressed. Beautiful things, most are gently used and wonderful pricing. We just moved from Ohio to Florida and I wish we would have visited sooner. However, we will continue to check back for some special pieces to finish our decorating.

A unique place to find consignment furniture and household items. The warehouse is huge so arrive with plenty of time to browse. Prices were a little higher than what I was expecting, but I’m sure some negotiating is to be expected.

Well worth a visit just to check out the great selection of ways to outfit your wardrobe or furnish your home.
Easily the largest selection of any other consignment shop I have ever combed through and definitely the most eye-​catching array of brand names, designer labels, furniture and fashioin designers and more.
But you had better buy it now or else it may be gone by the time you make up your mind.
With fashion trends so fleeting and the ability to freshen up your look, or living space, for reasonable prices, this is a great source for whatever you may be looking for.

Triage is a bit more high end than most of the consignment shops in the area. There were some designer label pieces and then some unknown brands, but there definitely wasn’t stuff from Walmart/​Target like many of the local Goodwill shops.
There’s a lower level for clothing, shoes, accessories, etc. and then there’s an upper level for furniture and home décor stuff. Triage seemed to have a fair selection of things, and not all of it felt like it came from a little old lady’s closet/​house. Sure, you still find a decent amount of old lady things, but for my purposes, it was worth poking through.
I can’t say this is my favorite consignment shop or anything, but I was pleasantly surprised. It seems like whoever does the intake is decently picky about it.

High quality consignment clothing and furnishings. Slightly higher price than what you might expect, but the quality of the goods and the well-​kept look of the store makes it worth it!

Every time I enter the triage I exit with beautiful clothes and great bargains. The upstairs showroom is full of furniture and household items. Stop by sometime when you have an hour or so to browse.
