Time for you to Meet Classic Attic Furniture Consignment Store.

by Susu | September 6, 2015

Park Road Shopping Center in Myers Park is undergoing a transformation, in case you hadn’t heard.  Not just in appearance, although there is a lot of new paint, landscaping and parking renovation.  Edens is bringing new life to this, Charlotte’s oldest “shopping center,” with a new juice bar, a new salad spot, vietnamese & rocksalt restaurants, rumors of an Amelie’s and more. What has been a shopping convenience for the neighborhood is likely going to be an in-town hot spot for all.

So, pretty soon the secret on CLASSIC ATTIC Consignment store will be out.  If you like shopping brand name furniture, antiques and vintage at way, way below retail, you need to get over there asap, before the rest of Charlotte figures out this resource exists my friends.

When you get to Park Road Shopping Center (it’s easier if you come in from Westfield) turn right at Rocksalt and head to the “backlot.” You can see, things are happening there even as we speak. Head down toward the middle of the lot and find Classic Attic on your left, at 4301-C Park Road. Right before the Blackhawk Garden Center spills out into the parking lot. 🙂

And this miniature wicker rocker, not even priced yet and probably already SOLD.

 

If you are looking for nice furniture on consignment, mostly classic brands and styles but with an occasional modern option available, you need to hit this store at least a couple of times each month. CLASSIC ATTIC gets many consignments from some of the best homes in Charlotte, it’s shopped by many local designers and decorators, and their inventory turns over quickly. It’s either sold or moved out in 90 days, and everything over 60 days is marked down 20%.

As you know, consignment is not regular retail ~ there are almost never duplicate items. If you see a piece you want, get it. It likely won’t be there when you go back.

Good news though.  At CLASSIC ATTIC, you can take home on 24 hour approval to see how your find(s) work in your house. Or put on 24 Hour hold, while you get your better half, mom, decorator or BFF to come in and give an opinion. That’ll be key, ’cause things do not stay on the floor long at CLASSIC ATTIC. There were probably 15 shoppers and consignors in and out while I was there last Thursday midday.

These are just a few of the items we shopped there last week {no guarantees they’ll still be there! Call 704-521-3750 before you go, or just take your chances!}

Priced at around $100 per panel, depending on quality of work, amount & type of fabric, etc. Ready to be hung, or ready to be used to create shades, pillows or upholstery.  If you’ve ever paid for curtains, you know that getting a room done for less than $1000 is a crazy great deal.
