We purchased it and brought it home but unfortunately, even after measuring, it was just too large for our space. We held on to it for a week in hopes that we could make it work but we ultimately couldn't. I thought, "there is no way we can return this," but my husband called anyway and Alice was so understanding and graciously gave us a full refund on the item. This level of customer service and understanding was SO appreciated. Alice went above and beyond for us and we will definitely be back in the future!

Clearly marked racks made finding sizes and designs easy. Prices were good, some items were priced well below what I anticipated while other pieces were spot on worth wise. Everything I looked at was clean and in good shape, ready for a new home. Really though the purple furry jacket would have been the cats meow for his GF but we passed it by.

I can't even begin to name how many pieces at other (non size organized) stores that I've fallen in love with and realized would not fit me. As a final thing that's sent this into 5 stars- it has been a long time since I've been to a vintage shop with such a high level of size inclusivity. As someone who has fluctuated in size throughout the years (yet my love of vintage remains), being able to shop in the xl - plus range was an absolute dream. If I lived in the area, I would be there on a biweekly basis because I just know I would keep finding incredible things.

I can't recall the last time I had such an unpleasant experience with a company! My experience…read morewith Cherished Possessions echoes many of the 1-star ratings previously given this company: * First item reportedly sold over three months ago with the last item reportedly sold over a month ago. I've not received ANY reimbursement despite my repeated requests for payment. CP's response: The check is in the mail. * Cherished Possessions emailed asking for my mailing address. As I had provided this information previously, I contacted a friend to pick up my check as I no longer live in Portland. Five days later I informed Cherished Possessions of my arrangements to obtain the payment due me; they emailed me back stating as they did not hear from me they mailed it to my Oregon address but did not confirm which address the check was supposedly mailed. The Kicker: I took five days for me to get back to Cherished Possessions, but it takes them weeks to respond to my requests, if they respond at all. * CP took weeks to re-establish my CP account after I informed them I no longer had access, preventing me from tracking sales on my furniture. CP's response: Their staff has been out sick. * When my account access was finally re-established, it did not show which of my items were sold or for how much; rather the account stated 'Total Paid to Date: $325.00'. The Kicker: I've not received ANY payment from Cherished Possessions. * I made arrangements for an item, reportedly not sold, to be picked up after the 90-day period stated in CP's contract. When contacted to make pickup arrangements, CP stated the item had been sold. When asked about the conflicting information provided by CP, the CP staff member became rude saying she didn't have time to discuss the furniture. With the loss of my property without the promised reimbursement, I now realize my mistake was not adhering to the numerous 1-star reviews given this business. Potential consignors & buyers should also read Cherished Possessions' responses to prior 1-star reviews which I found to be condescending & dismissive to concerns expressed by consignors.

He told me a lady who does the appraisals would call me back, took my phone number and hung up! It is now well over 2 years later and I still never got the call back!!! I'm certainly not calling them back to engage with them as their lack of caring for their potential customers clearly testifies to how I would be treated as a real customer!

No suggestions of anywhere to take it, no information at all to even try to help, nothing. Even if they are worth less, id appreciate anything other than No I don't.

As much as I'd like to keep this place a secret, it is totally amazing and worth five stars. Having…read morejust moved to Portland a month ago, there were a few "missing items" and "empty spaces" in my humble abode that needed filling. My next door neighbor alerted to me this place and I'm so glad. I picked up four dining chairs (sometimes they are priced as a package deal with a table, but these were actually priced individually and separate from the table). I thought about getting some sort of lounge or easy chair to read in but I haven't converted to Maine vehicle yet, so my Mazda wouldn't fit it. Next time! A gorgeous coffee table also caught my eye, so that item was also purchased. I had to make two trips, but hey-ho. I think prices are great. Obviously, you're getting used items but isn't there something really charming about having furniture that has been lovingly used? (As long as it doesn't smell like a dirty fart) You could go the route of IKEA and I have totally done so on occasion, but let's admit it, most of that crap is crap. Old used furniture was made with love. I can imagine that prices may have climbed in the past few years, though I only have Chicago Salvation Armies to compare it to, and I think the prices are still better here than Chicago five years ago. Stuff probably comes and goes fairly regularly so don't feel defeated on an initial visit. I will definitely venture back here.

We will think of Restore-HfH first the next time we need home furnishings.
