Have gone to this place occasionally over the years bc it has had some decent furniture. I do not know if owners have changed or what but it is the ugliest hodge podge of crap I have ever seen in a store. Like WOW. No aesthetic, hardly any furniture, terrible art. Any thrift store is better. Being on Main makes it even worse bc it doesnt fit the vibe of the street. I give it a year, max. read more

Helpful and easy service from when I called about selling a few antiques to after I brought them in! I came in when Tanya the manager was away but had the pleasure to deal with Meaghan who was so professional and courteous even though so busy with so many customers and one extra demanding lady as well! This will be the place From where I will always sell and buy vintage and unique stuff! Oh and the pieces on the floor there are only two months old! So if not sold in two months they donate or you take back!! Impressed! read more

Somewhere straddling the line between antiques and thrift, The Main Sellution strikes a chord with my tastes. There's decades worth of furniture, including wash stands from the early 1900s, a plethora of dressers, vanities, nightstands, "smoking tables," arm chairs from the 70s and handmade dining room tables -- or at least there was when I was there last. Items are piled atop of one another with aisles formed from lining up pieces back to back. It has a certain Value Village quality to it - a slightly musty smell, bright fluorescent lighting, hospital white-ish floors, staff that are really bummed to be working when they could be outside enjoying a summer day. For all of the shops like this on Main, I think this one has some of the better deals. A bureau of drawers on sale for $58? Wood? Really? Seems unheard of. If you're shopping for furniture, not antique knickknacks, you'll find some seriously solid selection around these parts. read more

I have some some pretty great finds over the years at Sellution...the stock changes quite often..the pieces are a range of mid-century..provincial..colonial..crappy 1970's ....you name it... The prices are pretty fair..not like some others on Main that are way over priced...and they do lower them after the items have been there a while....you can also try and strike up a deal... They have some great dressers to choose from..which is what we are in the market for...some a little worse from ware but with a little TLC you could have a great new piece from your home... read more

Sitting in a coffee shop, therefore, taking the time to clear out some of the drafts that have been sitting in my inbox for 4 months of local reviews in attempt to reduce my list one at a time (I have over 60 drafts). My best friend and I have window shopped and entered once at least every other week coming down here from the record store. The reason why this hasn't been reviewed before is 'cause we never made a purchase and I wanted to wait to make a legit purchase before reviewing. We bought vintage glass marbles. I have a weird obsession with these and a kitsch. The first time going into an antique store was when I was little and my sister took me to Gastown on sister dates when we would visit my dad and I remember seeing some glass marbles so the fascination steams from that. read more

This shop seemed a bit more on the "second hand" than "antique" side of things, but the furniture looked pretty sturdy and there was a fair selection of nic nacs, some cool lamps, vases and other decorative things for the home. They do consignment for furniture and have a selection ranging from antique to mid-century modern to contemporary. The prices are quite reasonable and the man in the shop was really helpful and we found a gem here! read more

Went in and saw a used Ikea Hemnes nightstand for sale for just under $90. The knob had been changed. Nowhere did it say "Ikea" on the sales tag. It's a current product and can be purchased for $59.99! Had it been a fun, vintage Ikea piece that holds nostalgia for certain ppl maybe but something currently for sale with a slight mod? No way. They say the specialize in antiques and vintage. This feels...scammy. Hopefully, it's just an oversight but I don't feel I can "trust" this place anymore. read more

I bought an item there and upon bringing it home my wife wasn't happy with the purchase. They don't allow returns so we are stuck with it. I'll never shop there again. read more

I went in here expecting to find some great second-hand bargains but came out a little disappointed. It seemed like more of an antique store than a second-hand furniture store. They definitely weren't selling antiques though - as the woman who owned the place told a man who came in. It was the prices and the smell made it seem very "antiquey". A musty and "old" smell encapsulated the room and most of the pieces were dusty, scratched, or at least very well worn. To be fair, I think this was their aim. Most of the pieces are old and I'm sure that they would appeal to many tastes, just not mine. I did find an old Chintz & Co. glass and metal table I really liked and another two glass and gold metal tables that I'm uming and ahing over. The glass and gold metal tables were only about $110 each but the Chintz & Co. table was over $200. I'd definitely come back to Sellution again. These types of stores sometimes have some rare finds that stay with you for years. read more

A tight 3.25 stars because personally for me, I wouldn't need to shop here for no reason so it's a purposeful trip for me. Been here a few times with clients looking for a specific piece for their business. I wouldn't say it's consignment as vintage, which was more impressive. They even had a baby stroller from the 1950s, with the huge steel arcs. Shopped here for mostly chandeliers and dressers, the attention to detail back then is good stuff. Also saw those treasure chests, boy, are they ever solid. Highly recommend for anyone yearning to buy something in the past. More furniture here, than that one on Commercial Drive. A mainstay corner location here for years along Main St. read more

The Main Sellution is a large-ish store where you are almost certain to find a tasteful or groovy piece for your home. It might be a dresser with an attached vanity mirror from last century, or it might be a funky old television or a couch covered in velvet damask fabric. Whatever corner of your home needs some doing up, you are likely to find something worthwhile here if you look hard enough or keep coming back as there is always something new and worth admiring. The prices here are not inexpensive, but they are fairly reasonable, and with so much selection, you can be sure to find what you're looking for. read more

The Sellution - Antiques Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

See all

They have some gorgeous pieces here and are priced at a more reasonable number than the other various vintage stores that I've visited. They seem to encourage the buyer to get creative with the furniture they offer by offering glazing and painting courses on how to give them a nice shabby chic look. The staff at the counter seem knowledgable about their products and feel like they want to be there. read more

Always something interesting and reasonably affordable. Worth a visit as you stroll down Main.

Wow so happy that Sellution has moved back into the 'hood! Although I haven't bought anything yet in their new location - I have been tempted by several items! The staff are very friendly, and couldn't be more helpful! I really appreciate that they do a great job of arranging all their stock so that you can easily get a good look at the pieces they have! Prices are clearly marked and seem quite reasonable! Definitely a great place to check out! read more

I've had many dealings with this company over the past year. In all instances the staff has been unfailingly friendly and helpful. There has never been any pressure "to buy". They price consignment items fairly and there is a quick turnover of goods for sale. read more

Love, love, love this store! They have some amazing furniture items for sale, some great for fellow chalk painting furniture recyclers, and others you just want to leave as they are because they are so beautiful! Great prices too for antiques and vintage furniture in Vancouver, read more

I love this place, and check it out most weekends. I am kind of hesitant to give it a review, because I want to keep it as my own little secret. The staff is the best there is, friendly, helpful, knowledgeable - and just plain nice. They have the greatest prices I have seen anywhere on Main Street, and like all vintage places, you need to check in often. Here today - gone tomorrow. It is by far my most favourite vintage furniture shop on Main. read more

Excellent value. Need to visit a lot to find what you want but if you are patient there are some awesome finds in this store.

I am recently new to Vancouver and am slowly looking for special items to add to my collection of fabulous finds. As a person with a budget I tend to window shop frequently. I discovered this amazing vintage furniture store and drooled every time as I passed by. Eventually I had spotted "the chair" for my reading nook that I am putting together. I walked in and went directly towards what was soon to be my chair. It was beautiful white and blue pictures of children playing with wooden trim. I noticed that there was a little stain on the seat cushion but stains can vanish with the right skills. The price ticket had a reduced price and I thought perfect red numbers for a girl with a budget. I started walking around dreaming of what else I could add to my shopping cart. I came across this wooden dry sink. The exact one I had envisioned in my mind whenever I looked at my "dining room". I walked up to the counter and patiently waited for the sales representative to finish talking to another customer. He had a consignment account with the store and was looking at his balance. He said that he wasn't in a hurry and that he didn't mind waiting. She then asked if I needed help after being in the store for about 15 minutes at this point. I asked if they offered lay-away and her response was flatly "no.". So I thought, sadly there goes my dry sink. I then started inquiring about the price of the chair and if the stain had anything to do with the price drop. She had said flatly again "no.". She just put it on sale today and then proceeded in dealing with the gentleman as if I wasn't worth her precious time. I stood there politely and waited to talk a little more about "my" chair. She didn't even pay me any attention, so I walked over and sat in the chair, feeling awfully neglected. It was so comfortable, perfect for reading a book in. I sat there long enough that one would think I was interested in this chair. No help. By this point I am starting to feel very belittled. Why would someone not go for a sale?? Engage in a customer that seems interested instead of talking to a client that was owed money??? I looked at her and was given no thought and then I walked out. I will never go back to Sellution even though my chair is still on display... I will tell my experience to anyone that will listen. I have never felt so invisible in my life. Sellution deserves no stars. I do not usually write reviews but seeing as I had tears in my eyes on my way home I figured this experience should be shared to those that don't want a hurting heart as I have... read more

Walked in here one day and was pleasantly surprised. They had a guy playing live lovely music on a piano. Big selection of hard-to-find, vintage furniture. Like a treasure hunt, you never know what you're gonna get- and new stuff is always coming in. Staff is laid back and store has a friendly laid-back Main Street vibe. read more
