My husband and I put an offer on a piece of furniture that the sales person said the owner would “definitely” accept. The furniture had been sitting there for multiple months and was priced way down. We gave our phone number to the sales person and left excited about likely getting the new piece of furniture.
After we did not hear from the store, we called back and asked about our offer. The sales person basically admitted that they never called the owner and they thought the listed price was fair for that piece of furniture.

Never again will I deal with this...
Read moreI highly recommend visiting English & Co. if you are looking for nice "high-end" furniture or accessories being sold on consignment. Mwife and I have visited here a few times over the past several years to purchase drapes and furniture pieces for our home and have never been disappointed. They offer a large variety and selection of items at very reasonable prices. The items are also presented well, even in their "back area" where most of their merchandise is at. What really sets them apart from many other stores of this type is their friendly and accommodating customer service, which has always been consistent every time...
