First, let me say there is a very limited amount of anything "mid-century" in San Diego. This shop is locally owned and active in the community. The owner was super helpful and pleasant. I was most impressed by the custom outdoor furniture. Oh, also parking is only street parking and you have to feed the meter. read more

It was really cool walking around as they have some nice things. Parts of it feel very much like a thrift store, whereas other parts make it seem like it's got a better selection. I saw some things I'd like, but they were way out of my price range! I was shocked considering this isn't new stuff. I thought the record collection was nice, but it was hard for me to see the top bins since I'm on the shorter side. Would be nice if they kept a small stepstool for people to use. read more

I love this store, it never disappoints. I like to stop in from time to time, they always have a great selection and are constantly adding new inventory. I have made a few purchases and the owners are always very helpful and informative. Great in house lamp repair and refurbishing and super cool and unique items! read more

Wonderful and evolving inventory. Very fair prices. Nice guys! Some years back when I used to pull up, my son who was about 10 at the time would say "Oh no! Not mid century shopping again!" I still can't resist popping in when I'm in the area :) read more

I am crazy for some nice home decor and always try to stop by when I am nearby. the most recent purchase is a set of night stands that I got for my daugter as a present. always good customer service and justifiable prices - my recomendation. read more

Beautiful inventory and wonderful customer service. We are in love with our Credenza.

I love coming here to browse and get inspired. We recently made a purchase and asked for some small alterations. Dan was able to knock out the adjustments within 24 hours and our piece was ready to take home! Support local, get *real* furniture, and enjoy this wonderful San Diego gem! read more

What a nice store! The owner was very nice and helped me choose a mid-century vinyl chair that is a great accent piece in my house. I was very happy with the price, and he even helped carry it to my truck. Happy to recommend this store to others read more

This is my first stop. The furniture here is gorgeous, authentic and will last. It's hard not to buy more. Blake and Dan are great help. read more

I love this store! This is the first piece I bought from the third space. And they made a mid-century modern couch for me and I picked out the fabric. It was perfect, delivered to my house! read more

We received our new chair from Mid Century this week. Blake kindly dropped it off at our house. The fabric, and design were everything we were hoping for, and the chair is so comfortable. The chair is very sturdy, and clearly made to last. We will definitely be back for a couch, in due time. read more

Loved this place! The owner who was in the store was very friendly. They have a great selection of MCM furniture and lamps. I'd shop there a lot if I lived in the area read more

Dan and Blake were fantastic to work with! We got a customized Z loveseat with black vinyl cushions from them after falling in love with the one on display in their store. Even though we were preparing to get ready for the move, they were able to meet our timeline (6 weeks roughly) and delivery went without a hitch. During the waiting period Dan was communicative throughout the process. Payments were completed online making the entire transaction super easy. While we did not buy other items in the store I found most of them reasonably priced. I wished they had a store in SF Bay Area. read more

These guys always have what we want at a great price. It's hard to walk into their store and not walk out with something fun and unique. Unlike other mid century stores their selection of items is amazing at great prices and they'll open to haggle with you if you buy several items :). All through out our home we have pieces from the shop. Thanks again D&B. read more

I'm a Baby Boomer with a penchant for anything related to the Mid-Century Era. I still remember a lot of the furniture I grew up with & how much I loved it for it's streamlined looks & sheer functionality. I also simply love antiques, particularly old bone china, such as Victorian dinnerware & chocolate tea pots, rare Depression Glass, Josef Originals, Coalport, Wade, Goebel, Haviland, Wedgwood, Lladro, & many others. I also have an EXTREME penchant for original & signed Jacques La Lande lithographs, and the list goes on. While you probably won't find this type of antiquity here, what you will find are Mid-Century treasures in great condition. We donated or gave away almost all our furniture when we recently moved back home to San Diego because we had every intention of furnishing our new home with new (old) furniture. And so.. Once we began looking at all the common furniture stores, we started to see a trend on what we were attracted to. It was the Mid-Century Modern furniture. Or, should I say I always was in love with Mid-Century, but my daughter was finding she loved it too. Excellent! We agree! Yelp is such a great tool in so many ways. And it was Yelp searches that helped us find "Mid Century" in the North Park neighborhood of San Diego. WOW!!! Mid Century will blow your mind! Not only do they have a ton of furniture, but they are quite particular about the condition of the furniture that they'll accept. The Mid-Century furniture is arranged neatly & proficiently. You can spend a couple hours in this store because there are so many Mid-Century treasures to see. A small sampling includes: * Lamps for every room * Dining Tables * Side Tables * Dining Chairs * Lounge Chairs * Writing Desks * Dressers * End Tables * Outdoor Chairs * Entertainment Pieces ..and so much more. New pieces are accepted daily. I like to go back every couple weeks and see what's new, and specifically, to see if there is a certain piece I'm looking for. A very well managed store, with friendly owners. Have fun on your hunt! *wink read more

such a cool spot! I came by looking for a credenza and met the owner. He knows a lot about the items in his shop which was amazing! I saw quite a few pieces that I'd love in my home and I'm excited to come back here once i move in! but overall - quality items and a great owner! read more

Oh, my. What a remarkable place! I wish I had come with a truck, but it's probably better I didn't. Wonderful selection of mid-century furnishings, including a beautiful range of table lamps, all of which are rewired by the loveliest man (I regret I can't remember his name, but I was so dazzled by everything, including the fact that the shops are located in this super-cool building called the Pharaoh's Court Apartments). Had been looking in vain for a vintage low, long dresser, and they had several outstanding ones. We walked out with a beautiful Brown Saltman set, and the owner Dan even knocked something off the price without our having to ask because we bought two. And two lamps and an incredible Harvey Moore bronze sculpture. Just a wonderful vibe and great people. Stay away! All mine! read more

I can't say enough good things about this store. Great inventory, super knowledgeable and friendly owners, and fair prices. Love it that you can return something in 30 days if you don't like it or it doesn't work with your decor. Not many places offer that. I regularly poke around mid century places in San Diego and Palm Springs and this is the first place I visit. read more

PLEASE support this most amazing locally-owned shop. This place is a beautifully curated dreamscape of classic furniture and accessories. Everything from high-end items to moderately priced smaller decor. They have remained open during the pandemic with safe procedures and thoughtful hours to try to accommodate who they can. Always a friendly face this is a queer fam friendly facility by a couple who genuinely cares about their community and their trade. I bought a gift here and they even wrapped it for me in a simple and classy brown paper get up all ready to gift! Thank you Mid Century for doing whatchu do and I'll visit every time I come back to SD. read more

what an awesome store great furniture and furnishings. Excellent selections from lamps , tables . The store had a brass table that came from India thats gonna make my place pop with envy. I will shop here for my crib . Great knowledge and friendly sales staff . read more

I LOVE THIS SHOP! My fiancé and I just moved in down the street and wanted to find a vintage piece to go in our new home. We were so excited to find this shop was open. The entire place is immaculate. Everything in there is gorgeous, unique, and in excellent condition. We found some beautiful early 60's cabinets to put side by side and use as a bar cabinet in our home, for a very reasonable price. Blake, the owner, is so awesome. He was very helpful, knowledgeable, and obviously passionate about his work here. He went above and beyond to help us and was so fun to work with. I can't say enough good things about our experience here! I can't wait to come back for more! read more

Such a great store with an amazing vibe. The shop is a treasure trove of incredible examples, and the decor is so whimsical and wellcurated. My girlfriend and I had the pleasure of working with Dan, and he excelled with stellar customer service. We looked at a piece on Saturday, and returned to buy it the next day after visiting a handful of other shops. It was delivered a few days later to a second floor unit with no elevator and an awkward landing. Five stars for the space along with five stars for the purchase and delivery. Looking forward to working again with Dan, and we will be checking back for more in the future. read more

QUALITY ITEMS AT GREAT PRICES & GREAT SERVICE I wanted to get more than I could afford of course because most of the items in here are definitely of the vintage style. Pro 1: Each item is tagged with the "1960's" or other time frame it is from which is pretty cool, and they also have post-it's, pens and tape measures. Pro 2: Prices are fair for each of the items and the owner/manager seems negotiable depending on the item! Pro 3: FREE DELIVERY WITHIN 10 MILES * Bought my adorable (yet giant- and a pain in the butt to move) kitchen hutch/ pantry on a Sunday and they delivered it to me at 6pm on the following Tuesday- 2 days later! And it was not a delivery service.. it was the OWNER/MANAGER (Dan) himself! I will absolutely be back in and will recommend this place to anyone looking to furnish their home/apt! read more

Even if mid century modern isn't your style I highly recommend a visit to Dan's store. You might just find that perfectly unique item that you didn't even know you were looking for! read more

Blake and Dan: The best of the best. Not pushy, informed information on all of their fine pieces. Knowledge of Mid Century at its BEST. If you need furnishings at a fair and honest price - run don't walk to this time warp MCM fabulous resource. Even if you don't need anything, go there and revisit your past or your parents or grandparents. Its the best of the best with wonderful owners. Can not say enough wonderful things about this store!!!! read more

Upon entering, I thought I'd died and went to heaven, which is 1961 or so. One is greeted by St. Eames and taken to the holy credenza and ottoman for judgement. Herman Miller beckons you forward and angels begin to sing. Drexel, dated 12/60. Actual Eames chairs. A really cool dog as well. One could spend a day in this little shop and still not see everything. Were the owner to move in a stove, color TV with a clicker and a bath, the wife and I would rent the place monthly. She took the ^&(^(*&$# chair right out from under the owner, who sold it to us rather happily. So, please do not shop here. It is mine, ALL MINE! read more

The best prices in town for Mid-Century bar none! 80% of all my 60's Danish goodies are from Mid-Centruy Design and the best part is that I didn"t have to pay LA prices for them .Jeff the owner is super cool and always seems to find the best stuff. The best thing about Mid-Century/Jeff..... is that there is zero snobbery here. Just great prices and cool stuff! 5 stars Sean in Kensignton read more

If you are sooo far above buying anything comfortable or reasonably priced, than you might fall in love with Mid-Century. Do you feel that design peaked 50 years ago, in Sweden? This is the place for you. Do you enjoy a chair (without irony) that looks like it has been sitting in a government office since the Hoover administration? Would you like to pay $400 for that chair? Take your snooty, I mean, sophisticated behind over to this shop on Park (oh, how you wish it was Park Avenue and not Park Blvd., I know) and stock up! read more

This place is a little treasure trove of fun mid-century design. You can find some amazing things here at reasonable prices. Yes, I said reasonable. Maybe you could find something cheaper at the thrift store, (or Jerome's, as Joseph said, and don't forget Mor Furniture for Less!) but these pieces have already been found, reupholstered, etc. I have purchased several things here, including a credenza, my couch, a lamp, a chair, and some pottery. They are all some of my favorite things. I did have to reupholster the couch (it was a steal though at $350), and I may replace the cushion on the chair because the foam is too soft, but really I have no complaints. The owner is nice and has always provided great customer service. I highly recommend you check it out! PS you can see the pottery I bought here: http://acolorfullife.com read more

It's funny, I went on a mid-century mission the other day, and headed to Park & University where I knew there were two stores with strong Yelp reviews: Mid-Century and Design One. I first stopped in Design One and spent five minutes in there. It is pristine, sparse, carfully curated, and ridiculously pricey. Two seconds later I arrived at Mid-Century, and it was everything I had been hoping for - a stark contrast to Design One. It is delightfully cluttered and brimming with an outrageous amount of goodies for the eyes... but it is somehow appropriately so. Every piece I saw felt well-presented and merchandised as part of a realistic home clutter... thus, I could picture every item in my home more naturally. I liked the charm of the jam-packedness... It didn't feel like a museum or gallery (the way Design One feels). I felt comfortable interacting with the items, exploring the potential riches for my home. That said, it was a wee bit too cozy with the immense amount of product in the small space... I think it's time for a sale! :) The fella who helped me was very nice, though clearly not a regular employee as he had to call the owner about my questions... but I thought that is the mark of a good store, where they will go to the trouble to fulfill your needs. He offered me good deals on items, but wasn't over-attentive or meddling. I thought that the prices were fair... though 'fair' is hard to gauge for mid-century items, so I would consider it pricey for many. But fair-pricey... know what I mean? Getting great pieces for the prices. Anyway, I recommend heading here whether or not you're looking to buy... it will be a treat just to browse. I can definitely say this will be a place to which I will return (Next time I have a little extra cash, anyway). read more

Used furniture that has been cleaned and fixed up to be close to new while retaining the style. Some stuff has stains but if that turns you off, there is plenty of other stuff to check out! We bought a beautiful table with chairs for our first time hosting a holiday dinner. The chairs are comfortable and unique: the back is on hinge so it leans, but at a good height so you don't feel you will fall. Paid about $1400 for the set (it's a table that seats 10 and 6 chairs) which is worth it for us because we can buy used but also high quality. The people complaining about the owner ignoring them: the owner is ready to assist with anything and is very friendly... if you ask. I appreciate not being hovered over, especially because I went in about 10 times before we actually bought just to browse. Definitely my style; I don't like someone else directing my attention to what will get him the best commission. read more

I've been here twice and both experiences were completely different. 1st time: super friendly and attentive. ended up buying a credenza at a much cheaper price than you'll find from other mid-century sellers and they delivered it to us the next morning for free 2nd time: it was like I didn't exist. I don't know if they thought I didn't look the part but I was definitely eyeballing a chair that I would have gladly walked out with then and there had anyone acknowledged me I recommend the place on price alone, their selection is ok (probably worth coming back in a few times until you find what you're looking for), just don't expect consistently good customer service. read more
