Just as straightforward as the name of this store, this place is chock full of oldies but goodies. Lots of European pieces displayed and unique antiques, plus most interesting, a talking parrot in the back patio! It's quite comical to hear the parrot saying hello to you and stating his name. I was looking for unique nostalgic art to hang in my entryway. I did spy a pretty painting and will consider it later. The owner was very welcoming and took the time to show me pieces throughout his store. Definitely recommend as there are definitely some unique items to look at. Prices seem reasonable.

Cheap Vintage - Antiques - Antiques Near Me - Lomita, California

It's a great place to rummage thru and find things. The owner is Cherie and she is pleasant. But, the prices are not always great and some are overpriced. I worked at my dads vintage store growing up and some of this stuff is way overpriced. It seems like she just made it up on the spot. all in all its a nice place with some interesting stuff. read more

Great place to buy used and new custom furniture. I have many pieces in my home. They were around the corner from me until they moved to San Pedro. read more

Great old stuff. But over priced. Dont pretend to be cheap when you're not. You could move a lot more inventory if you cut your off the cuff quoted prices in half. But then again, who am I, except a customer who knows better. read more

The owners a sweetheart and it is definitely an adventure walking in her little store and more so outside, and if you're looking for a file cabinet- look no further, there is a sanctuary of file cabinets outside in the storage area that they have outside of the business! And inside the store it's a treasure hunt, filled with tons and tons of goodies that if you blink you'll miss! I ended up purchasing a princess Diana 1997 commemorative tribute plate :(. And a Jesus button for my daughter:) They have another store in San Pedro check them out! read more

Some good deals on furniture. It's hard to find affordable solid wood furniture, so this used store can be helpful. They have two locations, one in San Pedro and the other in Lomita. When you call make sure to mention which store you're going to visit, because we called Lomita and it went to San Pedro. read more

I happened to drive past this store after leaving the Lomita Railroad Museum down the street. If I see furniture out in front of a shop displaying a sign that reads "Cheap", my car stops automatically.....screeeech. Well. Proprietor Sherree gave me the grand tour as I photographed everything in sight. I love cool vintage stuff & obviously, so does she. There's so much to see in this large space that it's overwhelming. My "find" of the day was the green metal 60's magazine stand that I bought for 40 bucks, although I could easily have spent a whole lot more money in this place. If you can't find a furniture piece that fits in the space that you have, Cheap will custom-build it for you (most custom pieces are in the $300 range). Or...you could check out their second location in San Pedro. This store is great fun! It's like a combo yard sale, estate sale, thrift shop, and antique store. The energetic owners, Russ & Sherree, are friendly, outgoing, and passionate about vintage. Cheap is open 9-5 Monday thru Saturday, Sundays by appointment. I'll be back. read more

I am giving one star because the owner is pleasant. I have owned a consignment store in the northeast and I will say that this is the most overpriced place I have seen in awhile. They have junk they try to pass off as valuable. Most of it needs major restoration. There are no prices so I guess they just ask what they feel like asking. There is stuff thrown outside in the back open to the elements. I asked about one piece in particular because I know what it should go for. He quoted me $600.00 for a piece worth $150. Do yourself a favor and check out the salvation army or goodwill first. read more

Hidden gem! So I had been looking (mostly online) for some mid century modern furniture and found a great set here. So excited! We met with Cherie (Sheree Sherry? Sorry not sure of the spelling) on New Year's Eve Day, even though they were closed she still opened up the shop. So sweet. The place is a treasure trove. Tons of cool stuff. Felt like American Pickers. We bought the set and will be back for sure. Thank you! Support local. read more

This place is the ultimate, especially in our day and age of disposable IKEA furniture! Plus you are being green if you buy used, which is cool these days I hear... ;) In any case, they basically buy lots of furniture from estates or closing businesses, so they have a wide variety of stuff. It's always changing so if you keep checking back every so often, you can find some pretty cool things here. The owner is super nice and helpful, and is a no pressure kind of person. If you buy more stuff you can sometimes get a small break on the price too, especially if you bring greenbacks. (notice the green theme here?? hah I'm cracking myself up!) They can deliver for a nominal fee if you don't have a van or truck, so this really is a good deal in every way possible. Well made older furniture is easily in the hundreds or over a thousand, and you can get it here for C-H-E-A-P-! I bought the major desks and stuff for my office for like 400, these would easily have been over 2000 if they were new. My real oak desk alone would have cost a fortune. I HIGHLY recommend this place, check it out, you won't be disappointed.... read more

Came here to find a dresser, everything is nice but all over $200. Way out of my budget. For a thrift shop, it's not very thrifty.

What an amazing find! Here I was doing my saturday routine of thrift store shopping when I stumbled upon cheap vintage. The very first thing you notice is how friendly and accommodating the owners are. They were eager to help and knowledgeable about the inventory they keep in their shop... and might I add, if they don't have what you are looking for here, they informed me that they have another location in San Pedro chock full of more vintage treats!! They are more than happy to hear that you are trying to weed the IKEA out of your life, and graduate to classically designed, solid real wood pieces. Ummm...Hello!! Particle board vs. Oak or Cedar?? You decide. ***I also remember them mentioning that they build their own furniture pieces as well. I ended up traveling to San Pedro later that day out of curiosity and was additionally impressed with that shop. (The woman who works there is an absolute DOLL! Make sure you keep your eyes out for the kitty cats too) It was much bigger than the lomita store, had a great collection of clothing and jewelry and far more pieces of furniture. I purchased a stunning cream colored french sofa and could not be happier!! Will absolutely return and see what new treasures I can discover. read more

I had been here a couple of times before and saw some neat stuff. So when it was time to buy new dressers, I came here. Found a new design I had not seen, loved it and had it made in the white wash pine. Eleven! drawers, what a beauty. Also purchased a tall slim 6-drawer chest in white wash. Second beauty! Not cheap but they were what I wanted and basically competitively priced for special made. And the furniture has a bit of a funky aspect to it. You can tell it is not machine made. Only one thing I want to stress...if you buy anything here made with drawers in it, don't mix up the drawers because you'll be trying to find where they fit for a while! I did that and it took me about 45 min. getting them in the right slots. Like a giant Rubik's cube. The drawers are not interchangable and each has it's own specific spot! YIKES. Russ and Sheeree are so nice, too. They run business the old-fashioned way...customer service with a smile. read more

Sherry and Russ are very kind and hard working, and their vintage goods are always really cool, you can find a lot of great bargains and interesting antiques at their shop. I am really happy today as they delivered my custom made handcrafted 7 feet high chest of drawers that is beautifully stained, too. They make these items per their customer's specifications...... There is also a Cheap store in San Pedro, which is equally fun. read more

This spot is def a hidden gem! If you're looking for a true vintage store that's full of soul, this is it. The owners Sherrie and Russ are friendly and great to work with! They have all kinds of interesting items around every corner. This is not the type of store where the displays are overly manicured or every item is fixed up. I think that's great because I like vintage items that are unique, quirky, and are in varying conditions. Prices are really fair for the types of items you'll find here - they have some great stuff! I'll definitely be back! read more

PROS : exceptional customer service; friendly, accommodating, knowledgeable, too! large selection of vintage/new/used/refurbished furniture great selection of all wood furniture they deliver to your door (within reason, of course!) custom painted furniture moderately priced CONS : the place is packed so you'll have to really dig around not kid friendly (lots of breakables and no room/aisles for a stroller) OVERALL : The husband, little monster and I randomly stopped by today and we were greeted warmly by Sherree. She showed us around and answered all of our questions. We were very impressed with the store. The store has such a variety of treasures! From clothes, to art, to collectibles, and decor. You'll find lots of great furniture pieces here as well. If you're looking for solid wood, this is the place to go. It has a nice mix of vintage, antique and shabby chic. They custom paint and fix furniture, too. We ended up buying a set of Adirondack chairs, a matching table, a vase, and a wooden barrel all for a very reasonable price! What's more, Russ delivered everything to our door for $30 the same day (within an hour after leaving their store actually). We've been to their San Pedro store as it's closer to us, but this location by far is the better store to go to. And we will definitely be back! read more

Great place! The people working there are very nice and easy going. There are so many things to look at here! Especially furniture. If you're looking for a desk or a bookshelf, you should check this place out first. There is so much to see here. It felt like it kept going. The store extends outside as well! read more

this place is amazing a lots of goodies for everybody i bought a small table it worked out great. got a lot of little gifts too. they have great prices. i recommend this place for everyone. read more

Cheap Vintage - i bought this great iron table works great. - Antiques Near Me - Lomita, California

vintage store is very unique. you never no what exactly you'll find while shopping. you could find used antique furniture to a rare piece of jewerly or china. read more

Sherry at Cheap vintage was very chatty and helpful. This shop is filled to the top with a great assortment of furniture, art, and collectibles. Prices are reasonable, and you could spend hours browsing around this huge selection of merchandise. Prices seemed reasonable for most items, and I ended up with a portfolio of work from a student artist at San Diego State from the late 70's for only $50. I'm happy with my find, and look forward to going back for more. Cheap also has a San Pedro location, so I'll have to check out that one too. read more

So I don't usually post about dealing with horrible customer service but today I feel like it is necessary. My grandmother purchased what she thought was a cute little desk and chair from Cheap Vintage. She purchased the chair and desk a little over a month ago for My sons birthday and had it delivered to her house 2 weeks ago. We then brought it home over the weekend and after taking all of the plastic off that it was wrapped in I noticed it was not quite as nice of a desk as my grandma had thought. The desk is supposed to be a solid birch wood desk. It has paint splatters, unfinished stain, crooked and different colored screws, unfinished sanding, and definitely isn't solid wood. Then the chair had a crappy paint job with chips and messed up spots and already has rust all over the metal frame. The worst part is my grandma paid $350 for the desk and chair plus they charged her $40 delivery. I called the guy today to discuss the disappointment about the desk and chair to see if maybe we could make the situation right. And as soon as I mentioned the issues listed above he went straight to being rude and defensive saying I was criticizing his craftsmanship and told me I should go buy a desk from Ikea for $100 that will fall apart on me. This desk is going to fall apart! My boyfriend almost broke it in half while trying to carry it up the stairs because it is so flimsy and cheaply made. The owner was so rude and disrespectful on the phone and told me the rust on the chair was from wherever it was stored after being delivered. Oh yeah so after being wrapped in plastic and sitting in my grandparents family room for 2 weeks it got surface rust all over it? I don't think so. We went down to the shop to discuss things in person with the owner. As soon as we opened the back end of my car and started pointing out the issues mentioned he went right back to being defensive and blaming the rust on us. This store owner even claims that these desks he makes are so expensive to make out of "solid birch wood" that they don't even make a profit off of them and can't make them anymore. He ending up getting so mad he shooed us off and said take it and walked away back into his store. I am livid! He ripped off my grandmother and then got defensive because we pointed out the obvious flaws in his "craftsmanship". Take our advice and stay far away from Cheap Vintage. They sell nothing but junk for outrageous prices! Expensive Crap would be a better name for the store! read more

Extremely efficient on the billing side of the transaction but fails on the actual performance side of it. Other reviewers seem to like this place but this is based on my experience, so take it for what it's worth. I ordered a desk to be made--they said it could take a few weeks, which is fine. The problem is, I get charged up front and then zero effort is made to keep me up to date on my order. After 3 weeks, I called to see what is going on and guess what happens...they have no clue who I am, they take my number, they promise to call me back, but of course they don't call me back...very annoying. I'm sure the desk will be great when I finally get it, but I also expect a reasonable level of customer service and respect--even after I deliver payment! If you do too, then here is my two cents: take your money elsewhere. read more

called ahead to ask if they had a specific item. the lady on the phone said, 'OH YES we've got lots!' got there and they were scrambling to find any of my requested items, had to dig through a lot of junk to come up with.. just junk. she kept trying to sell it like they were fabulous, even the single ones... um, how do you buy a SINGLE cufflink? i obvsly wasn't buying it. kept me there for a few minutes more looking through dingy drawers of tiny jewelry boxes. it really was a small collection of crap. literally, they had 5 pairs and a whole bunch of singles and random ass jewelry parts... tried to make the most of it by looking around to see if there was something else, anything, buyable to make the trip worth it... nothing. And definitely things were not priced cheap either, for what they were / condition they were in. they were really really nice people but I didn't enjoy having my time wasted. read more

Support your local businesses. The people who run this place are quality people and they have great goodies. If you have time to kill then you should go in there, you will end up buying something. Oh and they have great accessories! Oh and everything from clothing to furniture. read more

While the owners are very nice, I was disappointed by my purchase here. I bought a filing cabinet, which they had powder coated for me. The filing cabinet seemed in excellent condition when I looked at it. But after the powder coating, it had big dent in the side and overspray on the lock/handles. So now, instead of being in the room where it was supposed to, I have to hide my $250 purchase in a closet. I was most disappointed in the big dent. I never would have paid that much for a filing cabinet with such a dent in it. Extremely disappointing. read more

A cute couple run this place. And they have their pet parrots out back. They are very helpful and will carry furniture to your car. So many things it's hard to know what they have but if you ask they usually know where to look or they will take your name and number to call you once they find one. Great prices on desks, chairs, and crystal. read more

This place houses so much history. Needs a little bit of organizing but the atmosphere is truly a treasure hunt experience! Russ was very helpful and gave me a great deal on a Schwinn Stationary Bike. I will definitely be back for more! read more

Wow...This store is awesome. I found some fabulous pieces here. I came in on a Monday and to my surprise the store was full of treasures. I came in looking for a dresser and ended up buying two. The owner Sherry was so funny and very helpful. I will come back again. If your looking for real furniture at a fair price you have to check this place out. read more

Nice selection of antiques. This place has tons of selection, so look around a few times before finding something you want to take home. The prices aren't on the items, so you have to ask. The guy working there is very nice. Great place to find solid wood furniture.. Beats the heck out of the crappy press-board crap made nowadays. read more

Russ & Sherree gave us wonderful customer service when we recently bought an antique chest from them! Sherree gave us a bargain price for this gorgeous piece, and Russ provided excellent and prompt delivery service of it. Highly recommend shopping with them. We are so thrilled with our purchase and admire it often. It is sooo cool!! read more

Nice little hole in the wall spot you almost miss if you aren't looking for it! So many cool items and great furniture! It's like one big estate sale where u can find furniture you can take right home and use and others that you can give a little tlc to and have a unique one of a kind piece. The owner is really nice and helpful. Just don't let the birds hidden over in a corner scare you! Happy hunting! read more

I was given exceptional customer service with 2 purchases here. I bought a beautiful 3 drawer lateral file cabinet that is in great condition for a low price. I also brought in 2 antique chairs that are part of a 6 piece dining set to be fixed. I was almost ready to throw them away when I found this place in Lomita where they fixed both chairs for an amazing low price. They look incredible and I am very happy with the timeliness and attention to detail. read more

I found Cheap Vintage thru Google & read the Yelp reviews. I was looking for a fun mirror for a bathroom I am redoing. Wow! I found lots of great mirrors. But, the absolute treasure was the antique carved wooden Chinese chest. Not only does Cheap Vintage have an amazing collection of interesting stuff, but the owners are genuinely nice, knowledgeable people. This is the kind of place where the cool stuff comes in and goes out very quickly. You should go there every week. I will see you there! read more

I showed up here on a friend's recommendation. I wasn't previously a fan of vintage furniture, but this was a fun place to explore. I saw a game table that folds closed in a clever way, and other surprising odds and ends. The owners are super friendly and helpful. If you'd rather have a shiny new version of an interesting item you see, they can custom build furniture, too; I would love to try that when I have some money to spare. read more

Not only are Owners Russ and Sherree some of the coolest people around but they always seem to have the right stuff at the right time. Recently we were trying to find the perfect coffee table for my mother in law that wasn't too big and had character and after looking at a few Sherree said "hey what about that one?" And pointed to the perfect dream table. Not only that but she went over the call of duty by pulling out the wood polish and polishing it for us. I don't want to even mention the ridiculous low price she gave it to us for. At another time they helped find the perfect hutch for her bathroom. When my wife and I we're looking for an antique mirror to go on top of our fireplace WALLA! There it was. This is our goto place for all of our furniture needs which is always coupled with happy smiles. read more

I just bought a used computer table/desk and office chair, for college next year for only $160! The Computer Table/Desk: This desk is great, it has plenty of work space and is in awesome condition. I felt like I was getting it for a steal compared to the prices I had seen at other places. Prime condition Came from Loyola Marymount, up on the Palos Verdes Hill Looks brand new All wood $95 The Office Chair: After buying the office chair, I went home to review the price of my chair and found that this chair was worth hundreds more then what I paid. Red No scuffs Arms still attached No stains Clean $65 The Store: The store in general is huge, with a great collection. Russ and Sherie are very helpful and show you their many items, but aren't like retail salesman that follow you around waiting for you to buy something, so they can get commission. They instead let you look around and venture for yourself and in the situation you need something, they are there to help. Whether it be Sherie's exuberant laugh, her parrots that talk to you, or the fact that each piece here has its own story, the experience here is one that will last you quite awhile. Overall: This place has many things, and for a student like me, trying to spend as little as possible for quality things, this was the place for me! Its not called Cheap for nothing. read more

I received great serve from the time I walked in. Sherree was very helpful and I found a beautiful crystal lamp and a unique dresser. Once I purchased my items Russ & Steve followed me home to deliver my dresser, even in the pouring rain. That is what I call serve. It feels good to support a small business. I would highly recommend going in to check out their store; there is a lot to see. read more
