It's no secret that the quality of furniture making is in decline. It's just easier to mold it out…read moreof sawdust and glue, or mold it out of plastic. The sad thing is that the molded sawdust is sheathed with veneer, thin sheets of wood peeled from often old growth trees or endangered tropical hardwoods. Often that tree that took a hundred years or more to grow, is being used to make a piece of furniture with a life of 3-5 years. Don't let us get started into veneer poaching http://www.nbcbayarea.com/news/california/Redwood-Park-Closes-Road-to-Deter-Burl-Poachers-248659171.html. Or hardwoods fueling war lords. http://bigstory.ap.org/article/liberia-ex-forestry-boss-arrested-corruption. That's just sick. The Good Mod is going against that grain. Their specialty is mid-century modern from the Scandinavian invasion. Those Vikings and their furniture! They refinish or reupholster the pieces as necessary and the price reflects that. If you have ever priced having a piece of furniture shot with a couple coats of lacquer by a professional, who also, by the way, is being paid to properly handle lacquer, which is very toxic, you know. But those prices are comparable to the new price in its time. And you are getting a piece of furniture you can pass down generations. In fact, some of it may become design auction material in the future. They were good on my visit with cadenzas, occasional chairs, classic Knoll chairs, a few sofas, lighting. They also gather up some industrial artifacts and repurpose them, if that fits your aesthetics. One of their newest spec pieces is a walnut ping pong table, which could also be used as a dining table. This item would fit well into the tech startup world. If you are an art director or set decorator they would be a good resource. The Good Mod has moved around and as of this writing are up a creaky elevator or quite a few stairs on the fourth floor. But that gives them a new big cheap space. And note to new arrivers decorating your Pearl condos - if you can rock this style, you can patronize a great Portland reuse business. You can even fib a little and claim your hip grandparents/parents/you bought it new! The Good Mod cleans up and restores furniture from the mid-century modernist age. Reduce, reuse, recycle! Be cool, stay cool, keep cool! (Thanks to Mr Oscar Brown Jr)

A must stop shop for any visit to downtown Portland and lovers of the chicest, scrumptious candles…read more My top picks are "Botanica," "Synconia," "Oak Moss," and "Scarlett Rose." The owner Diana is one of the sweetest and funniest humans ever. Her husband Bryan is also very kind and friendly. It's always a pleasant visit to their storefront. Have loved supporting this business since the early days in the night markets! This is my go-to for purchasing the best smelling gifts or small trinkets/art for my friends and family. Need to also mention that ABW does a fabulous job at championing/collaborating with local artisans who reflect the diversity within the fabric of Portland's art culture--not only offering high quality products, but operating with great integrity and heart.

I bought a set of their linen towels a few months ago and am grateful every time I take a bath. My colleague mentioned that she purchased towels from Indigo Traders 20 years ago and they're still in great condition; only softer. I suppose I could cheap out and continue buying commercially sold towels from conglomerate box stores, but I know I'd pay way more for degraded, chlorinated cotton over 20 years if I skimped on delight.

The owner was very friendly & suggested we try their olive oil + za'atar spice blend with some como bread from the bakery around the corner. That's my perfect kind of snack, so I did exactly that and am here to report back that it is in fact delicious! Very special to find these imported goods & I find food shared from all over the world to be the most special thing in life. Will be back for some gorgeous bedding when my kids aren't so young & we can have nice things last longer than a week lol.

We had a disappointing experience at EWF Modern - inconsistent pricing and poor customer…read moreinteraction. My wife and I visited the store to look at BDI brand furniture options and ended up in front of a BDI Sequel sit/stand desk that was marked as a discounted floor model, with a separate, higher price if it included the keyboard drawer as it was configured. During that visit, the owner told my wife that if we chose the lower-priced option, they would remove the keyboard drawer and use it on another floor model when it arrived. Based on that information, we left to think it over and returned roughly an hour later to purchase. However, when we came back, the original pricing and option were no longer on the hang tag, and a hang tag with the higher price was in it's place. When I asked whether the desk could still be purchased without the drawer as previously discussed, the response was dismissive and unexpectedly confrontational "what would they even do with a detached keyboard drawer." - how about what you said you would?? In other words, we were treated like idiots who couldn't remember a simple conversation from an hour earlier. At that point, the issue wasn't just the price -- it was the way the situation was handled. To be clear: changing your mind about a deal is one thing. Gaslighting your potential customers and talking down to them is something else entirely - the interaction was condescending and dismissive of what had been clearly communicated earlier. We ended up walking away, and while we only live two blocks from this place we will go to Beaverton to Parker furniture or up the street to Kitchen Kaboodle as they are both BDI dealers with a much better customer centric approach. Unfortunately, this experience left us with no confidence in the consistency or transparency of the sales process here.

Love everything about this store! The furniture, the design advice and customer service, and Ditzy,…read morethe cutest French bulldog that lives here! The furniture is of high quality and has a designer feel without being over the top. The pieces fit beautifully and comfortably into your space, adding to the personality of the room, reflecting your style without looking like a DWR showroom. Working with Erez was wonderful. I love to decorate and design so have my own ideas; being able to bounce these ideas around with a designer to validate or suggest alternatives was incredibly helpful. Especially since the furniture is an investment, you don't want to make a mistake! White leather lounge chairs are what brought me to EWF Modern. After searching long and hard online, I finally found the chairs I thought would be perfect for a bump out reading nook with fabulous views. No way I would chance buying online without sitting in the chairs, seeing the workmanship, the quality of the leather and materials, and the visual size. Plus, I want to support our local businesses. The chairs are exactly what I had envisioned! While they don't offer delivery on these chairs, for a small fee they will assemble the chairs and I will ask a friend with an SUV to pick them up. I will be ordering soon and am already considering a coffee table and rug! Ditzy, the French bulldog, is adorable! As soon as I saw her, I gave her some love in the form of back scratches and that was all it took to become her BFF. The cherry on top of the EWF experience.

I always wondered what happened to…read moreit because they had gorgeous items, especially during holidays, and the store did great business. Well, due to some rent issues, they ended up in a shopping center off of NW Barnes. I happened upon it while killing time before a doctors appointment. It's still filled with charming items for your home and garden, most with an old world charm - think urns, topiaries, trailing ivy, fleur-de-lis, iron accents, rustic wood, arched frames and mirrors. Also lots of furniture from accent tables to display units, tables, chairs, desks and more. The owner is so friendly and helpful. If you are looking for ideas, seek him out! Items are unique and affordable in an array of price ranges. While this style as perfect for my previous home and garden, there aren't many items that work in my modern condo, but I purchased some gifts for friends. During the Christmas season, I bought giagantic snowflakes, candle holders and lit trees. If you used to visit this shop when they were on NW 23rd, take the quick ride out to NW Cedar Hills area and continue to support them in this new location. I fear they no longer get the foot traffic; this shop is so special, we need to keep them in business!

It was a great shop to grab a gift for my mom as she seems to love everything here. I would drop in with her after lunching at Papa Hayden's....

But once you step inside, you're transported into a wonderfully eclectic shop filled with all sorts of treasures. They carry vermouth, bitters, glassware, furniture, posters, and other unique finds--and somehow manage to have an excellent selection in every category. We had an absolute blast browsing the store and ended up picking up some beautiful glassware and a bottle of vermouth. What really elevated the experience was the staff. They were incredibly knowledgeable, took the time to answer all of our questions, and offered thoughtful recommendations without ever making us feel rushed. Pricing felt fair, especially considering how many of the items are unique and hard to find elsewhere. If you enjoy cocktails, home bar accessories, or simply love browsing beautifully curated specialty stores, this place is absolutely worth a visit.
