5.0 of 5 stars. I want to buy everything in this place, so it's a good thing they don't take plastic. Where else can you find African face masks, reprints of 1940s Russian tobacco posters, "Let's Go Out To The Lobby"…

quirky furniture,bad service

this little place has charm and some interesting stuff along with some kitch. If you don't mind being called honey or sweetheart by the owner as he re-negotiates prices and asks you "how much do you work for"...

2.0 of 5 stars. Another place for used furnishings and knick-knacks. I have never seen anything remotely tempting here, but you never know. I think it's a little heavy on the shabby and light on the chic.

Great kitch

Lower Haight used-funriture store has a great selection of old furniture and even greater selection of cheap decor. Lamps, mirrors, weird dolls, old phones, and kitch galore.
