My husband and I ordered four pieces of Broyhill Brasilia bedroom furniture; nightstand, king sized headboard, 9-drawer dresser with two single arch mirrors, and a five drawer highboy dresser. I consulted with Mike for selection of each piece and to decide the best style mirrors for the dresser. Mike was very knowledgeable about the Brasilia line and his suggestions were a perfect fit for my 1956 ranch home. Restoration of each piece was well done and each piece matched in color and tone; my husband marvels at the fact that this furniture is older than him! After placing my initial order, I challenged Mike with the request of a matching footboard and rails for my king-sized Brasilia headboard; something that I didn't know that Broyhill never made (with the king-size headboard). With the patience and expertise of Barry (the owner), who worked closely with the workers in the shop/restoration, a walnut king bed frame, including footboard and rails was crafted for me using the original feet of a Brasilia footboard. Barry was very communicative in the progress of my piece and very diligent in consulting with us for the precise measurements needed for the creation of this bed frame that was a seamless fit to the headboard and accommodated our low-profile box spring/mattress set. The design team also created custom fit support rails, enabling us to use the bed as a platform bed, if desired. After delivery, Barry followed up with me personally to make sure that the bed, furniture, and delivery met and exceeded our expectations. Delivery by Peter was professional and efficient and our entire delivery arrived in impeccable condition. I look forward to future purchases with Modern Hill as I furnish remaining rooms in my mid...
Read moreI had an incredible experience purchasing mid-century pieces from Modern Hill. I began with the ultra-helpful Mike, in sales, who lent his expertise on the brands, explained their process, and made gentle but very helpful suggestions as I sorted through the unparalleled inventory - he was integral to my purchase. His stock, as well as his reach to find the absolute best MCM vintage is so impressive; rare bits from McCobb, Baughman, Pearsall, Wormley, Risom etc etc, all under one roof, and they have the most reasonable prices.
Once I made my selection, Tina coordinated with their workshop artisans to tailor finish each item to my specifications, mostly free of charge. They know exactly how to bring back a piece to its glory (or to leave it alone) while maintaining its value and artistic integrity. Everything thing I got from them looked a 1000% better then how it looked online -
Finally, Lina coordinated the delivery, on-time, and reasonably priced - especially for my location across the country; it got here in less than week, delivered by Alex who checked in every step of the way and as incredibly helpful with placement. To boot, the owner Barry called when the order was complete to ensure I was happy, and give suggestions on caring for my items.
I’m a not a designer or professional or robot :) I’ve done a lot renovating in my time and I don’t think I've ever had this seamless an experience with an antiques dealer in 20 years Everyone I dealt with was professional, knowledgeable, caring, and they have, irrefutably, the best inventory in the market at these kinds of prices.
Seriously, MH is the only place your should ever contact if you want high end...
Read moreIn higher education, when a letter of recommendation is written on behalf of a student seeking admission to medical school or law school, the phrase ‘outstanding’ and ‘without reservations, without hesitation.’ is understood the applicant is in the top 5% of undergraduates; in like fashion, my experience of of Mike, Barry, and the entire crew at Modern Hill Furniture is ‘outstanding’ and wholeheartedly recommended them ‘without reservation, without hesitation.’ Obviously, even a quick look at the furniture featured on their Web site, which includes high quality and carefully curated pieces from American and Danish Mid-Century Modern manufacturers, will spark an admiration and appreciation of the breadth and depth of stock, a stock that is continuously being replenished and refurbished. In all my interactions with Modern Hill, whether by phone or email or in person, the entire team were passionate and knowledgeable and they demonstrated the highest level of craftsmanship and an attention the smallest detail that is so rare nowadays and so welcomed. Their warehouse is a beehive of activity as upholsters and woodworkers and finishers take the pre-owned, banged up and bruised, and transform them into things of great, enduring beauty. During the process of picking and choosing and finishing my furniture (dining room set, living room chairs and sofa, credenza) the team took the time to assess my tastes, preferences, and sensibilities and never exerted any pressure, but were pleasant, patient, and flexible, adaptable and responsive to my requests and questions.
