UrbanBurb Furniture — Local services in Philadelphia

New to Philly with a larger apartment, I began scouting vintage and antique furniture stores before I moved. I found UrbanBurb on Instagram and saw that they posted on their stories often with features pieces currently available. There was a cabinet/chest that caught my eye, and after measuring where I'd like to put it, I inquired about their pick up policy. They answered my Instagram inquiry within 24 hours and clarified that I could purchase and pick up on different days.
