Fresco has great stuff for solid prices, nice people. Decent website too. Things turn over quickly so buy it if you want it

Love love love this place. What amazing finds they have and their prices are never out of reach or unreasonable for the quality. Can't recommend this shop enough. read more

Deal of the century. Spotted a pair of matching end tables on their website at an unbelievable price, went in to look and was out the door with them in under 20 minutes. Not sure how I've overlooked this place for so long, but I'll definitely be back. read more

Great place with awesome used good condition furniture with great prices. The prices drop on items after a certain period of time which is awesome!!! Good local shop! read more

Not the best quality. They do have some nice pieces of art and some niche trinkets here and there, but the best stuff all seems to have a "sold" tag on it. How they get sold so quickly, I don't know. There is rarely a person in there. I don't completely understand their buying and selling process. What was explained to me is that you can bring in your stuff to be sold by Fresco. You will not get paid until it's purchased. You will be notified when and if your product was purchased. Then you get paid. I think there is a time limit to how long they hold your items. I don't remember what that was, but when you reach the deadline, you will be notified and you can either come back and pick it up or let Fresco donate it to their charity. It's a charity that gives furniture to those that need it. They said something about how anyone who needs furniture can go to this guys garage or house, and take whatever they need. I don't know, like I said, I'm a bit uncertain about that process. Back to the quality. I bought a simple black wooden chair, one that probably had a twin at some time in it's life. I just wanted a decent looking clothes rack for my bedroom. That did the job. I carried it home and put it to work. I have to say that it's a good thing I only use it to drape my not so dirty clothes on, because if I used it as a chair, you know-to sit on, I'd probably break it. You'd think I'd notice at the store. But amongst all of the bargains, I guess I was distracted. It was $18, not a big loss...and still being used. read more

See all

I've consistently found some awesome one of a kind treasures at this store. From handmade coffee tables, to gorgeous table lamps, Fresco Furnishings has a great variety of items. Be warned though--expect to pay much, much more than at Goodwill or Salvation Army. It's definitely an upscale resale shop. read more

I came to Fresco Furnishings as a new Columbus resident desperately in need of a couch. The staff was really warm and helpful, and my partner and I walked out with a large couch for our new home! We got it the day the price went down a decent amount, so the cost was much cheaper than smaller couches we had looked at in other stores. Thanks Fresco Furnishings for giving us somewhere to sit and watch tv! We'll definitely be back for some cute trinkets to spruce up the place! read more

Fresco is just like Revue in the Short North only smaller. I feel like they have a quality selection of used items for the home that are overall nicer than One More Time Etc. and on par or slightly below Revue. They use the timeline markdown system where the price goes down a certain amount past a certain date. Of course the best price is when it's been sitting in the shop the longest. I've been in the shop probably 2-3 times and I can't tell really how fast things are turning over because I'm not in consistently enough. Staff is friendly and they have complimentary coffee with fixings for your enjoyment. I'd definitely recommend stopping here in your home goods hunt. read more

Both art and fashion are in the eye of the beholder. Fresco Furnishings has eclectic tastes. Being someone who's always walked to the beat of their own drum, most wouldn't consider me fashionable. However, I tend to look at things individually and find a way to make it fit fashionably. Each room has a different feel to it. One room looks rather country with a touch of antique or classic. Another has a contemporary art look. Yet another is kind of European combined with Asian. You can find contemporary pieces like a glass sculpture that looks floral, almost like a Chihuly piece. Or an antique Singer sewing machine, table and chair. Fresco has furniture such as office desks and chairs, bedroom sets for adults and children, and couches. Artwork like paintings, photography and sculptures as well as décor and other miscellaneous items are dispersed about the place. You may find yourself getting a little hungry when leaving the place because the smell of food wafts over from the Red Door Tavern next door. Bacon is fried up on Tuesdays if you are a lover of the pork product. read more

Fresco Furnishings claims to be "upscale retail." As clever of a tag line as that is, it's a bit misleading. The furniture, accessories and such that find their way into this large shop may indeed be upscale; however, they aren't particularly fashionable. Most of the items I saw seemed to be plucked out of a late '80s upper-middle class living room. I'm sure they cost a pretty penny back then. I have a tough time paying $400 for an awful looking dining room table and chairs -- bargain or no. The help was delightfully non-hovering...and so the two-star rather than one-star review. If you're on 5th near Grandview and looking for a piece of furniture, it wouldn't hurt to stop in here. Just don't get your hopes up. read more

Fresco is a great place to shop & cosign items.Items are constantly changing and are at reasonable prices. I have purchased a large wool rug and a nice coffee table from here. Cosigning items there is simple and hassle free- forget Craigslist and yard sales- too much work. Take your items to Fresco, they'll price it for you and you just collect the money when it's sold. read more

Frescos has friendly staff who welcome you with a smile and the offer to help you. At first glance things appear to be nice and of quality. But they just aren't current. Most of what is in stock can be found on Craigslist for a fraction of the cost. It's outdated stock leaves me curious how they stay afloat in this economy. I managed to find a lamp I liked but I'm looking for a matching pair so this wasn't a successful trip. Oh on a last note, many items seemed newly ticketed to keep the prices high. I could be wrong but it seemed odd that they'd have received a majority of their stock so recently. read more

Honestly mad I've been going to competing stores this place is amazing. Will definitely be back. Great selection.

I love this place! I used to go in weekly when I worked closer because they're constantly getting new stuff. They're priced appropriately and various styles. Staff is always helpful! Something for everyone read more

I found some really nice pieces for my home! This is the place to be! Come and see Ann and she will some great things!

The staff was super friendly and helped me arrange quick and reasonably priced delivery of the sofa I bought. Some of the initial prices seemed a little high but their timed markdown system is great for finding good deals. I would definitely look there again the next time I'm in the market for furniture. read more

I have been into this shop a few times and always had a pleasant experience. The staff is nice and don't meddle while I browse. The pricing structure is fun and helps bring down the cost of some items considerably. Each month the price is reduced and you know exactly how much and when it will change. This adds a nice dynamic, you could wait for the price to go down, but it might sell before you get back. My most recent exchange with them was particularly great. They don't have a return policy but they do have something called '24 hour approval' where, mainly on big items like dressers, they will give you 24 hours to make sure it works. In my case I was purchasing a knife block for a nice set of knives I already owned. The concern was that if my knives poked out the bottom of the block then it would be useless to me. They let me take the 24 hour grace time to make sure it would work. It did, and I called to let them know. Very nice people who did something nice for me. Only thing holding them back from 5 stars is that they don't tend to have all that much great stuff in. That could be a sign that no one brings in the goods or that they sell fast. Either way, with good customer service and a well managed shop I expect that to change sooner than later. read more

Many of the items in my home that have come from Fresco Furnishings. They are items that most frequently are noticed and admired. Each item was originally far more expensive than I actually paid. The staff are friendly and helpful. As a buyer and seller, I visit Fresco Furnishings frequently and never am disappointed when I visit. read more

I love these ladies!! I had never done any consignment selling and they led me through each step, were happy to take my calls when I had questions, honestly valued my items for me and kept me apprised of sales. I have no qualms recommending Fresco Furnishings to anyone interested in consignment. THANK YOU LADIES for all your hard work!! read more

I am new to the Grandview area and researched online to find some "pre-owened" furniture stores. In searching I found Fresco Furnishings and when arriving I felt it to be inviting and fun to peruse. I found the most adorable marble top side table that online can be found around the $300 mark and I purchased it for around $35. How can you beat that? The staff was friendly and I will definitely be back soon. read more

Beautiful store great collection great service , warm friendly stuff. Items with great value in cheap prices .

They are friendly and so helpful. The assistant manager Annie was knowledgable and has fabulous eye for design . Hannah has superior taste as well. She was helpful. Love this place.Prices are a steal! read more

Definitely not the friendliest place and don't expect to use a coupon without getting harassed, especially if something is already marked down. Snapping at a customer and informing them they "should have bought something the other day" is not a way to retain business. If you're looking for unique consignment pieces, save yourself some time and hit the other shops in Grandview/Short North. read more

My girlfriend and I went here in Hope's of finding a King size bed headboard and footboard. We did find one of our liking, purchased it and was on our way. The following day we tried to put it together to come and find out the screw holes didnt match correctly, so I contacted the store in hopes of a return or a simple "sorry no refunds" but instead I was greeted with about 2 days of phone tag with the owner of the store, then being told that I potentially dont even have a king bed to go with it which we do, to then a request to come by my apartment to verify herself. I then sent pictures of proof that the screw holes didnt match up clearly and the owner continued to blame the situation on me and how I dont have the correct metal frame for the bed, which CAME WITH THE BED and obviously fits. Long story short I am now stuck with a useless headboard and footboard, and a terrible experience from the store and their situation handling skills. Glad to say that I will be recommending any and all customers to GO SOMEWHERE ELSE. read more

This is a great shop, can be a bit pricy, & you need to return often, but it is worth the time to stop in.

It's fun to go see what you can find in this store but don't expect any kind of customer service. Nearly every time I have been in the staff have been curt, too busy to sincerely acknowledge me, or downright rude. I consigned some items here and when I went to pick up a picture that did not sell, they couldn't find it and acted like my time was no big deal and when they found it they'd let me know. Needless to say, about two weeks later the picture was found and I had to make another trip in to get it. There are plenty of other great re-sale places on 5th Ave and I will be happy to take my business there. I would encourage you to consider the same. Fresco Furnishings is not a friendly place to shop. read more

I love, love Fresco's! I not only shop there, but I consign, too! Every time I am looking for something pacific, I find it, along with stuff I'm not looking for! It's a great place to shop. Always plenty to look at. And the owner couldn't be nicer! read more
