These types of antique stores are always hit or miss. We popped in on a whim even though we weren't looking for anything in particular. They had a selection of large and small pieces of furniture, plus a little adjacent art gallery. You can tell this place has been here a long time and will probably still be here for a long time. read more

Lots of great items at very reasonable prices. It's a fun store to stroll through to find a hidden gem. The owner Blake was friendly and helpful. read more

I was next door at Saltbox and made plans to visit Classic Treasures and Patina since they are so close. Imagine my surprise when I get there only to see a sign saying "Gone to the bank. Will be back shortly." I see a couple waiting in their car. I go to Patina and look around. Come back like 20 mins later and the sign is still on the door. That couple was still waiting when I got back and now another car of people pull up. I stuck around for 10 more minutes. When I left, both cars of ppl had already left. Perhaps there was an emergency and they had to go to the bank while the store was supposed to be open on Friday from 11-6. However, might I suggest a time on the note so people can know how long you have been gone and guesstimate how long they are willing to wait. read more

Excellent service excellent merchandise, I have shopped there for over 5 years. As I still cherish all that I have purchased.

Three times while visiting this shop the owner was wearing his gaiter around his neck despite there being a mask mandate in Durham at the time. I think it's important for other customers to know this as Covid worsens with the Delta variant. We did purchase a cute picture there at a decent price. But the lack of responsibility with the mask was very unusual for this community and honestly made me question if I would ever return. read more

Classic Treasures - Mask-optional. Yuck. - Furniture Stores Near Me - Durham, North Carolina

We were shopping for a dresser for our new house. We looked at several used furniture stores and found possibilities, but we weren't enthusiastic. We found a dresser at Classic Treasures that checked all the boxes, including not costing a whole lot. We talked to Blake (owner?) who was very helpful and agreed we could buy it over the phone after we had thought about it a bit. So that's what we did--paid by credit card over the phone and returned the next day to bring it home. Our daughter bought a beautiful dining room table there years ago, they are still using it. Classic Treasures has a great selection of nice things in good condition, and lots of unusual pieces. I recommend it if you're looking for something specific, as we were, or if you're just browsing. read more

I can't say enough good things about Classic Treasures-- from the selection, quality, prices, and customer service, everything is top notch! To start with the selection: there is a range of prices that can fit every budget. Everything is high quality; a lot of it I would call a more "traditional" style, but things are always changing so it is good to check back. When there are really nice things, they go fast! My husband and I came back for several weekends in a row and were surprised at how much the inventory moved. The customer service is great-- they will keep things for you while you decide and were not pressured in any way. We ended up buying a whole set and were also given a discount by the very nice owner for being such good customers! They also deliver for a small fee, which is great-- the delivery was on time and very professional and easy! Definitely check this place out if you are in need for some new things to spruce up your place! read more

Consigned furniture at this store and had horrific experience with owner Blake. He seems cheerful, but if listen to his words carefully it's a lot of double talk. Placed me on hold for long periods of time, and refuses to give me a list of items I have sold there. Does not respond to email about items sold. I would not trust this person. I noticed he treats people vastly differently, and I feel cheated. If you sell your items here I would not be guaranteed being truthful about what is sold and for what price. UPDATE: Have not received payment. Consigning is like "donating" furniture. read more

TOTAL FRAUD. Still haven't received a check for my goods that the owner Blake Addison sold. It's been 3 months, so plenty of time. He just removed all my reviews and posted more photos. I am Asian so I guess I am not going to get angry. His wife treats him like a baby. She says he's just like that. She did apologize first, but later stuck to her guns. He yells and screams and refuses to apologize. Than he cries, and makes up a phony story where I am the bad guy. Poor guy, people call him for business related matters that are pretty basic. He has his own Fake News, which is that I am from California. So, you know how odd it is that we want to give him our correct address and want to get paid. Also, he says he can only write down the information once (I never called him more than once and I explained when I dropped of my furniture). He told me he doesn't treat most people like he treats me. I wish I had just donated all my furniture. Basically, it's a donation to some rude guy. There are more worthy charities. Also, my stuff was pretty nice, but he said it didn't matter what brand. If you have nice things go somewhere else. I was in a rush, and he was the only one who could see me the same day. I noticed he treated white people better. But, while his voice is kind his words are not. He thinks he's clever but it just folksy fast talking and I was confused my it. I thought he was funny like the Soup N_zi on Seinfeld, but he treats people much differently. read more

A lot of inventory. With a little patience and searching you can identify really good finds.

We absolutely love Classic Treasures! Went there on a neighbor's recommendation and immediately found a beautiful dining room table. The quality, price, delivery, customer service went above and beyond what we had experienced in other places. Blake, the owner, is so kind and very accommodating. The selections are fantastic! This is our new go to place when we are in need of a treasure. Highly recommend! Thank you Blake for the joy we feel when we sit at our beautiful table. See you soon! read more

I appreciate small business that continues to serve during these challenging times! Great service and inventory. Def worth a visit.

This place seems to be the only used furniture store worth looking at in Durham. There's always interesting things here, and I've bought some of them. At other places, pffftt. I still can't believe my good fortune at something I bought here, and I intend to keep visiting a lot. read more

This review is based on one visit, which may not be totally fair since consignment stores are by nature hit or miss. But on my recent visit, it was mostly a miss. The store is spacious and houses lots of furniture, and I especially liked how they set it up like a showroom (even complete with Christmas decorations!). I was surprised by the number of pieces that were dinged (wooden furniture with dents) and discolored (upholstery) -- in other words, some items seemed more "used" than "gently used." The prices generally reflect this though; I mean, $200 for an originally $2k price probably isn't all that bad! Generally, the pieces seem to be more traditional decor; but it's probably worth checking in from time to time since I'm sure their inventory switches out swiftly. The staff seemed really friendly -- greeted me on entrance and helped point out items to another customer in search of some wicker furniture. read more

I don't even have my furniture yet, that's how impressed I was to write a review! Called in ahead of time with a few questions, which were answered cheerfully. Classic Treasures was first on my list of consignment stores to stop by this afternoon... but after three or four visits elsewhere I went back and bought the items I'd had my eye on. Prices and styles range to accommodate just about anyone. The little things are what make this place so great! There are tape measures hanging everywhere so you can take down furniture dimensions - didn't even think about it beforehand, but was so happy that I was able to double-check sizes before I made a purchase. Out of all the places I called, Classic Treasures had the longest hold time for purchases - I'm moving exactly one week from today and they were kind enough to agree to hang on to my new sofa until then since I don't have a trailer just yet. Very kind and helpful! Sad that I'm moving so far away from the area but I'll definitely be coming by again when I'm back in Durham! ((Long story short - if you're looking for quality used furniture, put this place at the TOP of your list!)) read more

Classic Treasures - Almost bought this floor lamp, but I didn't trust myself to travel with it! Kiddie section is in the back for small ones to keep busy in. :) - Furniture Stores Near Me - Durham, North Carolina

I love this place - always something curious and lovely in the shop. The owners are very courteous and friendly and I've been satisfied with my purchases. Really a must-see if you want quality higher than consignment but less pricey than an antique store. They do a great job editing what comes in. read more

We absolutely love Classic Treasures! We have had a great relationship with Blake and Adele for many years and have discovered many great treasures here! As fair-minded and trustworthy small business owners, they go the extra mile to serve their customers in the greater Durham community. Even though we are living in SC now, whenever we are in Durham, we stop by!! -Ray & Lynn Browning, N. Myrtle Beach, SC read more

What a lovely place! Consignment stores are pretty hit or miss, and I have such specific tastes that they're mostly miss. Still, I found a dream of an orange loveseat here; when I pointed out some stains on the slipcover, the staff went ahead and cleaned it for me at no extra cost. Plus, delivery charge for students is only $25. Everyone who works here is a real pleasure, from the store employees to the delivery guys. Don't miss this place! read more

Highly recommended. They have a great selection of all kinds of furniture (living room, bedroom, outdoor, dining room, even some home decor items) for any budget. I will say I was pleasantly surprised. I went in on a whim, expecting it to be an antiques shop and more highly priced, but I am a huge fan of consignment shops and found it to be perfect for what I was looking for. Everything I saw was in decent to great shape, and reasonably priced. I got a large dresser in perfect condition for about 300 bones. The staffperson who helped me made a few suggestions and was not pushy. Delivery fee was a flat fee of about $40 I think - way cheaper and less hassle than it would have been for me to rent a truck, and they delivered it the same day. read more

The name says it all. This shop has something you need regardless of your budget. I moved to Durham, NC from California and discovered this shop just around the corner from my house. I am not exaggerating when I say that they furnished my entire loft. The finds here range from classic antiques to contemporary finds from top furniture makers. I can literally spend an entire Saturday morning here. The staff knows your name and they learn your tastes. This is defnitely a higher end type of shop but the prices are awesome. From art to furniture, this place has everything and it's hard to leave there without a new treasure. Blake and his staff make sure that you are satisfied with every deal. Delivery is quick and it's a flate rate if you buy a chair of if your furnish your entire home. read more

I tend to forget about the many businesses on 15-501 between University Dr. and the South Square area, but I recently had the chance to visit Classic Treasures. It's a decent-sized furniture consignment store with quite a few nice items for sale. They advertise their furniture as "gently used" and I found this to be true for the most part. There were some dressers I saw that were fairly scuffed up, but these were also some of the cheapest items in the place. You'll find a variety of things, from bedroom and dining furniture to bookshelves and writing desks. They offer free estimates and pickup on your furniture as well as delivery of products you buy there. read more

I've been a fan of Classic Treasures (Blake and Adele) for almost 9 years now. I've been downsizing through moves and each time they have been very fair and professional. I love stopping by and grabbing a coffee and browsing their huge store. I have found some incredible pieces there - always something interesting! One of the best customer service experiences I've had in Durham! read more

Blake, who I think is the owner, just came to pick up my items and I couldn't be happier! He and his teammate Sam were super friendly, professional, quick, and helpful. Took less than 10 mins to sign the contract and for them to remove my 3 heavy items that otherwise I would have had to move to the curb myself. Not to mention getting a check in the mail if the items sell! Highly recommend!! read more

I consigned my sofa with Classic Treasures last year. After hearing several horror stories of consigning with secondhand stores, I was a bit apprehensive about the experience. Fortunately, the process couldn't have been more seamless. They were very clear about how everything would work. The best part was that they came and picked up my sofa free of charge. Payment also came as expected. If I ever have any more furniture to consign, they will be the first ones I call. read more

I had several pieces to sell. This was a great experience from the time they came to pick up the furniture through the final sale. I recommend their store for selling and buying good used furniture. read more

I have visited Classic Treasures twice - once in March and again this week. It is my absolute favorite consignment shop - great variety - booths with well-chosen items - many unique - and just the right involvement by Blake, the owner. He is readily available, - has a friendly demeanor but is at the same time professional and knowledgeable, straight-forward, no games - not pushy, snooty or overly familiar - treats lovely ladies and old geezers such as myself just the same - with respect. For items too large to carry from the store, he will deliver quite reasonably and reliably; the delivery men were helpful - went above and beyond in service. They arrived at the time promised - realized a small item was missing from a heavily loaded truck - checked with me about that and returned with it later in the day. What really pushed me to finally write this review (I'm a terrible procrastinator) is that AFTER I purchased some items (old desk, end tables, bookcase, etc.), they were clearly cleaned and touched up before delivery. Blake had already made the sale, and I was gone. How classy is that? I can see why his employees seem to feel good about working there. read more

Classic Treasures is truly a treasure trove - the type of place you want to keep checking on to see what they get in! We moved to Durham and furnished our entire apartment with their collection. They have a nice variety that literally changes daily. The staff are very helpful and they do deliver for a fee. Never hurts to check here first if you're looking for furniture! read more

This place is absolutely wonderful. We got a really lovely couch from there for $300, and the people we dealt with couldn't have been nicer. This price included a substantial discount for a stain -- however, the staff realized that the stain could be removed, so they removed the stain for us but kept the discounted price. They also delivered for only $25, which I believe is the price for students. I'd make this your first stop if you're considering buying any used furniture. read more

MY mother lived in Durham and when she passed away, her retirement community recommended Classic Treasures to consign her belongings. I contacted Blake, who asked me to send photos. I did so, including photos of not only Victorian furniture but also 1920's art deco lamps, contemporary paintings by noted local artists and classic solid oak furniture. He responded that my items were vintage/antiques and there is no market for antiques. I questioned this, since they are listed as an antiques and vintage consignment shop. he responded that they don't sell "old and irrelevant furniture", and that they specialize in Danish Modern. He was extremely rude and passed up many valuable items which others are happy to get the chance to sell. Steer clear! read more

A pretty great find, a furniture consignment store with considerably nicer and higher quality stuff than you could find at, say, the Salvation Army. Prices vary tremendously; things will drop in price the longer they sit in the store. So not only are the items themselves all over the place, so are the prices. Delivery is a flat rate. They will also pick up furniture you want to consign. Complimentary coffee and cookies are a nice touch and the people who work here are very friendly. read more

The one stop store for best prices for gently used furniture. Blake and his wife have years of experience, offering professional assistance. The "Best" within the Triangle! read more

I recently moved to the area and was looking for a few things to round out my new apartment. Blake was very welcoming when we browsing the store. I ended up finding a kitchen table that I was in love with but was concerned it wouldn't fit, and Blake kindly offered to hold it for 24 hours while I figured it out. His team was professional and helpful when loading the table into my car, and he went above and beyond by gifting me a coffee mug as a welcome gift to Durham. The kitchen table looks absolutely wonderful in my apartment and I have gotten so many compliments on it. If you're looking for antique furniture with a great staff this is definitely the place to go! read more

I've been to classic treasures a number of time and always find wonderful variety in styles and price. The staff is friendly and helpful. I've gotten two amazing deals from there and will surely be back for more. read more

This is a good store.....they seem to be fairly priced on their consignments.....lots of variety. Oh and easy parking too....they will pick, not sure about whether they will deliver..... read more

Bargains for the shopper, perhaps. headaches for the consigners, absolutely. Do -not- expect payment in a timely fashion, if at all. Do expect diversion and prevarication. I trust people do not want to support a business that does not fulfill its contractual obligations... read more

Pauli and her team helped me find a beautiful dining room table with custom-made benches, made from reclaimed NC barn wood, plus a beautiful Restoration Hardware-like cart, all in my price range. Pauli is kind, friendly, helpful, yet not overbearing! Very happy with the quality of the pieces, prices, and service that I received. Thank you! read more

I consigned 5 items with them with an agreed upon sales price. When I contacted them towards end of first month to see what had sold, was told 2 items had sold but were sold for approx. 30% less than agreed upon price for one of the items and close to that for the 2nd. If they felt the items should have been priced differently, they should have called me and discussed with me rather than unilaterally changing the price and selling them read more

I recently consigned some items with this shop. I was very impressed with the consigning experience. They came and picked up my items at my place (for free!) and sold them at a nice price in store. It was a no-hassle deal. I'd definitely recommend this place if you are moving out of the Durham/Chapel Hill area and need to sell a lot of furniture etc. I was happy with the price I got too. It does take awhile to get the check for your sales (it comes about 1-2 months after items sell) but that's all on the paperwork you sign when you consign items. And the money came reliably even though I'd moved cross-country by the time stuff sold. Overall, a fantastic shop and a great place to consign. read more

This is the best antique store I have been to! I needed to buy my apartment furniture quickly because I was starting school, and I bought everything here. They even delivered the same day because they knew I needed it quickly! I highly recommend this place for anyone who needs something unique for a good price! read more
