I bought what was labeled as a mid century wooden teak desk today, it was only 100 with tax but I assumed it was so cheap because of all of the sticky black stuff on the top. I told the owner I planned to use a sander and sand it down and he recommended a danish oil which I then purchased. Sanding it revealed that it was not a solid wood desk but particle board with a veneer, after sanding it now has multiple large patches where you can see the particle board through the veneer. This is disappointing to me because I believed it to be solid wood so I called to see if maybe they weren’t aware of this and that’s why they didn’t tell me. During our call he told me that all danish mid century furniture is like that and honestly the way he talked about it made me feel like I should know this( I’m 20 this is the third piece of furniture I’ve ever bought). He said he’d talk with the other owner and see what they could do. They called back and couldn’t do anything and told me to never use an electric sander on any furniture and also told me that that desk was a bad choice for a sewing desk( it’s the only one I found in my budget) overall I felt very stupid by the end of it and am left with a desk that I was at first very excited about but now has large flaws. I have shopped there once before and bought a dresser which worked out great. I was very disappointed about the customer service and lack of transparency. I wouldn’t have sanded it had they told it was a veneer. They did apologize but only after telling me how all danish furniture is like that and that it wouldn’t work as a sewing desk. They did recommend getting a topper to glue onto it for sewing but I’m already at budget and the whole point of getting a wood desk is cause I wanted to see the wood. I love a family business but as someone in customer service it’s very easy to sincerely apologize and offer a small discount or some sort of solution to fix it that wouldn’t be a financial burden. If I had wanted a particle board desk I would have ordered a larger cheaper one online that fits...

I love Manchester and have visited several times before, but I had never stopped in at Perfect Piece until this last vacation. I was only browsing to kill time when I found the "perfect" console table for my foyer. I was so happy that I had decided to drive my pickup instead of the car and could bring it back home with me. The owner and his employee (I think it was his son) was very helpful and friendly. They obviously have a great deal of knowledge and patiently answered my questions with no pressure to purchase (they didn't know I made the decision practically the instant I saw it!). They have a wonderful selection of quality "pre-owned" furniture, not the mass-produced cheap stuff you find in the average furniture store. These are heirloom pieces. They also have a nice selection of area rugs I want to check out when I return with measurements from home. I'll definitely be back and I'll have to remember to always bring my truck. You never know when you might find your next "perfect piece". They are definitely a gem...

Honestly a very cool consignment and thrift furniture store. It’s in a great location, and there are four buildings. Two of the buildings contain damaged or thrift furniture with very affordable prices and even the pieces that have slight damages or weathering are otherwise solid and would be a great addition to a starter apartment or if you’re looking for a particular piece to tie your home together. The other two buildings contain rare and higher end antique furniture and art pieces. There is an option for delivery as well once you find a...
