These are the most disgusting people on the planet. We purchased several items. We had the unexpected death of my son. We called and explained we were unable to pick it up and they said it was ok. When we went to pick it up they charged us $360 in storage fees. Avoid the horrible people. read more

I have furnished almost my entire house with pieces from here. You have to come back frequently because they are constantly getting new pieces every day. If you sign up for emails, they will have sales, e.g. extra 40% off dining tables. I have found really high-end brands for a fraction of the manufacturer's price! For the most part, everything in great condition. read more

I have been a customer of JLTM for over 10 years. I have purchased many pieces of furniture, artwork, and accessorites here. You cannot beat the prices for their quality, unique, and high end items. Sure, you can buy cheap mass produced junk from Target or Home Goods, but the treasures to be found here really make your home feel special. And I love that items I've purchased here can't be found anywhere else. No one wants the Hobby Lobby look. Blah. I happened to check yelp for their holiday hours, and was astounded by the negative reviews, compelling me to leave a review now. It is a warehouse, so it can be a little dusty, and the their items are not always pristine (it is used model home furniture!), so come prepared with a good attitude. The staff has always been friendly, and helpful. Note that all purchases are final sale, and get on their email list for frequest sales! read more

We love it here! We drive to here all the way from Alhambra. At first I refused to go because it was too far to drive to buy used or second hand furnitures. You have to come here right when they open the door so you don't miss the things you are looking for.... Soon as you like something you have to call someone to leave your name otherwise it will be taken by other customers.... I think you have 1 hour to decide if you want to item. We bought some many great furnitures here for about 50% to 75% less than original prices... Night stand originally from West Elm was $750 but we got it for $199 in perfect condition. If have to be quick.... Think about what you want before you get there and go to it right away. They have different updated products everyday. Wednesday is senior day and you get extra 10% off. Sundays closed. I highly recommend this place if you are looking for high end furnitures for much less prices. You have to look carefully because there are many broken products, too. read more

Just Like the Model - Furniture Stores Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

See all

Under the previous ownership, Just Like the Model was an amazing consignment shop. There was always something special to be found, Peggy (the founder) was kind and reasonable, the staff worked with you to find pieces, and the prices always kept you coming back to check if you'd missed something. Today, the new owners have done an incredible job at filling a warehouse with junk. There's no point of view, hardly anything special, and the atmosphere feels like a furniture graveyard. If you're willing to search through the hundreds of rows of garbage items- you might find something average- but that really applies to any consignment shop. On top of all of these tragic changes, it seems they don't want to get rid of any of the junk either!!! The staff isn't left to make decisions on their own and are constantly reporting back to the owners wife, who has a very fascistic way about her. I honestly feel bad for the employees working under her. Feels like a going out of business sale in the near future, maybe they'll figure things out then. read more

As an interior designer working in Southern CA, I'm always on the lookout for amazing deals on designer furniture for my clients. I've been shopping at JLTM since they were located in Fountain Valley, almost 10 years now and they NEVER disappoint! Incredible discounts on barely used, model home staging furniture, with prices like these, I know my clients are getting the most bang for their buck! Find everything to furnish your home from beds and sofas, to bedding and accessories, even their artwork selection is pretty spectacular. I've purchased dressers, dining tables, mirrors, barstools, sectionals, club chairs, patio furniture, list goes on and on. Join their mailing list so you get first dibs on weekly deals. My only one and minor complaint is that the furniture is packed and piled so high sometimes you really have to weed through them to find those hidden gems. This is NOT a showroom guys so be prepared for tiny aisles you have to navigate through and flagging down associates to assist you with purchases and holds! Bonus points for trade discounts and no tax with a seller's permit. Check out my photos for this furniture lover's paradise! read more

Very cool location, shop here a lot. Paul the owner is super awesome! Lots of great finds for a really low low price

The furniture here is fantastic and the prices are amazing, but its the team that makes shopping here worth it! They're always ready to help and huge shout out to Nathan and Jose for always taking care of the furniture when they help load it into our vehicle. Thank you all! read more

There are some great finds here from time to time! Most of the stuff here are from model home stagings, so mostly brand new at a great discount. If you find something here that you like, be sure to grab it, because it might be gone the next day! Lots of new stuff arriving almost daily, from furniture to dining sets, to home decor knick-knacks. read more

I have been shopping here for a while. However, recently I have noticed a dramatic increase on the prices. If you have a way to find out who makes a certain product then you will notice the products here are being sold for either original price if not just a little less than it's original price. In the last 3 months I have come across products marked higher than what the original manufacturer sells it for. So do your research before you buy. read more

Lol my first visit was a joke and I will never come back here again. I took my dog shopping on Tuesday (12/08/2020) evening. While we were there, a middle-aged lady accidentally stepped on dog poop that has already been there (I haven't even been to that section of the store when the accident took place.) I was approached by the lady because she thought my dog was responsible for it. She turned to a real Karen and started being passive aggressive towards me when I explained to her that it wasn't my dog. Eventually the manager showed up and asked staff members to clean the floor. I offered them a poop bag just to be nice so they don't have to hold the dirty paper towel in their hand. And the manager had the audacity to ask me to clean the scene and said he's gonna check the camera to figure out who caused the mess. The manger never said sorry to me even though a staff member told him it wasn't my dog. Dear manager, have you done checking the camera recordings? You owe me an apology for being harassed by you and the crazy Karen in your store. Yikes! Shout out to the female staff member who defended me and my dog. Thank you! read more

This place is pretty underwhelming. It felt like shopping in a glorified and more expensive Good Will. I came here on a whim while I was in the Irvine area and I'm glad I didn't come out this way just for this store. I would've been super disappointed. read more

I absolutely love this place! Amazing customer service and incredible deals on many treasures throughout the store! In addition, the store is very large and extremely organized so it is easy to stroll throughout the store leisurely looking at everything. If by chance you are able to meet the owner Paul, you will just love him! Full of knowledge and he provides impeccable customer service to ensure all his customers receive top service. He and all his staff are truly amazing! This store is a must go to! read more

Been a customer here for years, very disappointed today to walk in and realize they don't enforce masks. Disappointing that their business and money is more important than the health of others. read more

I have been here many times and found a large selection @ great prices, but something has changed. New owners? More large furniture items, less decorative and prices have doubled and tripled! Oh well, it was great for a long time....... read more

I almost don't want to post this because I want this to be my little secret. So when people are done staging homes, all the furniture goes somewhere right? Shh....it comes here. Some of it is expensive: $30 for mismatched throw pillows. Some of the merchandise is absolutely destroyed: broken TV hutch Some items are completely useless: empty wine bottles But if you make a regular habit of coming here once every few months, you might land upon something cool. I found two silver or pewter colored mint julep type containers from Pottery Barn for under $10 each that I have been using to store makeup brushes and pens. We also snagged a modern mid-century style grey couch that the staff assured us was a really expensive brand (uh huh) on super sale on Friends & Family discount day. Which brings me to my last point. You should sign up for their mailing list because they send you emails with photos of the new merchandise and coupons. read more

I read mixed reviews about this place but decided to try it out. I am in process of moving from Irvine to San Francisco and have an empty apartment that needed love. I really liked the pieces here. The sales people were sweet and helpful. I dont understand how people thought the owner was rude. He was helpful and best thing: he was not pushy. I liked random pieces and was a little annoying because I am deciding between a modern or Victorian look and he seemed patient with my indecisiveness. The sales people were understanding as well. The layout of the store helped since I kept hopping around between choices. I am very satisfied :) and tye apartment is going to have a modern look Incase Anyone was wondering :) thank you to everyone that helped read more

The staff is so nice! Everyone very helpful and several different employees asked if I need assistance with my shopping. I ended up buying completely unplanned items (large giclee prints of sheep!) but that is what is interesting about this store. I come here for the customer service and the variety of interesting furniture items read more

I've only successfully been here once, although I've tried to stop by a few other times after work. They are usually closed early. I've wasted my time enough at this point and feel the need to let other people know not to waste theirs. Don't post hours you don't intend to keep. If it's that important to your staff to leave early then just set different hours instead of locking your door early all the time. read more

Great store with a large inventory of furniture. There are some really great items in this store and the staff is extremely friendly. Highly recommend checking it out. read more

LOVE this place!!! I've been coming here for years. They have so many items not typically available to purchase by the public because only designers have access to them. I always find new treasures here, large and small. The workers are super helpful, assisted me out to my car as well. read more

A great find ! Practically brand new furniture at bargain price great way to decorate or refresh your home with an entirely new look without spending a fortune! Purchased pieces here many times and referred friends and family read more

Definitely worth a look. You'll find anything from appliances, furniture, framed and unframed wall art, patio furniture, knickknacks and books to fill bookshelves. The first time I went there I bought several items to fill empty spots in my home. My favorite is a little home movie projector from the late 60's that I put in my home office, it still works too. You gotta be a smart shopper on prices and I would definitely try to negotiate big ticket items. Sign up for email updates at their website http://www.justlikethemodel.com I get weekly emails that have links to new and unique items, sales, clearance, etc. I have been there when they have a clearance for aging inventory, good deals!!

Came around 3:30pm on a Sat and it's not so busy. There are lots of items, but overall it's kinda pricey. The selections are not that great, probably because I came in the afternoon. There might be better selections as soon as they open, but that I don't know. We were in and out in 30 min. read more

Great place. Have made and loved several purchases here. Super great for unusual, one of a kind (or 2 of a kind) chairs. Lots of great bookcases and night stands. read more

Large warehouse that's filled with pretty decent furniture but the prices are a bit steep

this place is Great!!!well organized and the staff is Great as well!Paul and his staff are all knowledgable and know their stuff these prices are crazy compared to retail pricing I hands down recommend them and this place,Im a returning customer for sure! read more

Prices are not amazing like what people claimed in the reviews. They are the same prices as everywhere else and yet look used or are used/beaten up. They purposely sell them in factory-like setting to make you think they are great deals but they are not. read more

Such an great home furnishing store. I've purchased several unique finds here. I'm so happy they post their shipments daily. And if you call they are super accommodating in telling you if they still have the items your looking for. read more

The quality and selection is always there ! If you are looking for a new piece of furniture for any room in your house you will probably find it here and for a fraction of what you would pay retail ! The owner and staff are so very kind and extremely helpful too ! read more

This is a nice place I think some of it is a little bit overpriced but they do have quite an assortment and it goes quickly. I was contemplating on a little desk I saw and when I went back five minutes later it already had a sold sign on it so if you want to get something Get it because it won't be there later. I will go there because I still need some furniture specifically and if I can find it at less cost then the store New then I'll get it if not then I'll just wait till next time. I do notice that the people who work there are very helpful in picking up your items and carrying them to your car for you to which I like very much. You could tell that people like the store based on the ample amount of parking but the parking lot being jampacked. The good thing about that is that people get in there and get out and there's more parking is available. I do like the store and I love the concept. Thank you read more

If there is less then a Star I would give it ! Such unprofessional employees ! I was there this morning picked up the stuff I need and the employee who helped us want it to compromise for a damage in one of the items I was buying she said if one of you is over 55 years old u can get 15% ! We said ok awesome ! I went tt o register to pay , and then the employee at register said No we don't do that today with such a temper!! I waS the girl who helped us said so she said she went to lunch !! I wish the owner was there to see whAt kind of employee he has ! If she was just kind it's fine I don't have time for this mess !!! Please save ur time and skip this place it's a Zoo !! read more

A flat out rip off. I was offended by the outrageous retail prices for second hand furniture that was sometimes damaged (cabinet doors falling off, chipped table corners, sofa rips). They count on customers walking in with a "bargain" mindset and continuing to drink that Kool-Aid while browsing assemblages of tasteless junk. Don't be fooled. Furniture bargains here are few and far between. But wait! Wine glasses are $1.99/each--complete with glue on the bottom. read more

Nice furniture but employees were very rude. We waited at the front for about 10 minutes watching the employees chat with each other, clearly ignoring us. Finally one employee checked us out and seemed rude still. Overall disappointed. Last experience here was much better. read more

Wouldn't recommend this place to anyone. Bad business practice all around and poor service

I have recently purchased large pieces, pictures and decor here. The pricing is amazing!! I purchased a Jamie Young lamp for $36 at a 25% off sale. It retails for over 1,000. I had it repaired for $60 at D & H sewing and vacuum in Orange because they do lamp restoration. I also purchased a chaise for $181 which is currently retailing for 2,500. I am so grateful for all the beautiful designer pieces I was able to purchase at JLTM!! If anything has a price you think is high the piece is probably made by a designer and is basically a piece of art. The people who work here are very friendly. So glad I found this place!! Thank you JLTM!! So happy with all my new things! read more

This place is amazing. Went in for the first time searching for a console and ended up with a whole dining set. What I love most, in addition to great customer service, is that there is a large variety of styles. Every time I go to Living Spaces, Bassett etc, seems like it's always the same style over and over. Price here are unbelievable. Definitely going back for more. read more

I love this place. You can find some great deals. You do have to shop very often. Some days there is a great selection and then other days there is nothing. Prices are all over the place so you really need to know what your shopping for. You also have to be a little creative. The dishware typically has glue on it. There are directions at the register on how to remove the glue. They do email a coupon that is valid one day of the week. I never seem to make it on that day. LOL Oh yeah, don't get too excited about the electronics unless you know how to replace cords as they have been cut off because the item was for display purposes only. read more

This is a wonderful store! They have random selections of furniture and accessories for the house that come from model homes. I just recently bought a very nice patio table for my backyard and it was very well priced! The store manager Paul was extremely nice and helpful . I will defiantly come back for more items for my house! read more
