Where furniture meets fashion

Furniture: What We Accept

Chic à BOOM accepts furnishings that are in “like new” condition and less than 10 years of age as well as quality antiques. The items must be of a good quality construction, have minimal wear and tear, and of a style that would be of interest to a large number of customers.  We are always especially looking for truly INTERESTING items  – in good condition & desirable as well.

If you would like to consign furniture with us, we need to see pictures first. You can send them by email  to bj@chicaboominc.com or bring them in on your camera.  We require you to come into the store before we consider your furniture.  You will quickly see if your items are a fit with our store.  We will come to to see furniture in your house after viewing pictures if we think they are items we can sell.  If we do not see pictures first, there will be a $20 viewing charge for a visit to see your furniture items.

For décor items, please make an appointment to bring them in.
