One of the main reasons we love our homes is the furniture. It enhances our rooms, makes our lives much more comfortable, and brings life into our houses. However, buying new furniture is a large investment and sometimes there's not enough money to spend on new furniture. Luckily, there are a lot of great second-hand & vintage furniture stores in Toronto so you don't have to save up for new furniture but build a comfortable and convenient interior space with second-hand, vintage or reused furniture instead. However, finding a decent second-hand furniture store might be a daunting task. This guide should make finding a good vintage and second-hand furniture store in Toronto and the GTA a bit easier!

Hi Julie, There used to be a shop called Redrawn that sold consignment Drapes , curtains and soft goods on Mount Pleasant. Any idea what happened to it , or any other place offering older drapery and soft goods?
An impressive share! I’ve just forwarded this onto a friend who had been doing a little research on this.
And he in fact bought me lunch because I discovered it for him…
lol. So let me reword this…. Thank YOU for the meal!!
But yeah, thanks for spending some time to discuss this subject
here on your internet site.
Check out the Singing Lady Consignment shop on the Queensway just west of Royal York Road (south side). They expanded and cover two buildings opposite one another now. They carry some really nice things.
It is really very nice article. I have read many times. thanks for sharing with us.
Hi
I am moving to canada on 21st April to brampton as a new immigrant. I would like to have the approximate price of all household furnitures to decide whether i should ship my furniture or to buy seconds from their.
Hi Tom,
sorry, I cannot tell you the exact prices since it really depends on many factors. You can read our article about high-end and budget furniture to get an idea of prices :) link to juliekinnear.com
But if I were you I would only ship my most valuable furniture :)
Best of luck and welcome to Canada!
guiding you home™
Julie
Thanks so much for the article. I’m looking forward to checking out some of the stores you have recommended. I would however like to let you know that Frontier Sales closed it’s doors in summer 2016. They were a fabulous store. About 1/2 of the furniture in our home came from there. Just you can update your readers.
Glad you like it Chalette and thank you for the update on Frontier Sales!
Have a nice day!
Julie

Hi Amal,
I’m sorry, but we don’t buy or sell furniture. We’re real estate agents.
You could try contacting some of the stores on the list, maybe they will be able to help you.
Kind regards,
Julie
I am interested :)
Has anyone checked out Elle and Eve. They are a unique consignment store that carries furniture, decor and collectables. Really unique pieces at affordable prices.
Hi Kirill,
thanks for the tip, we’ll check it out!
Julie
If you don’t have enough time for browsing through piles of furniture crammed in second-hand furniture stores scattered around the whole of Toronto, you should try purchasing your furniture online.
Hi Julie,
Just found your site, I think it’s great way of networking.
Thanks so much
Hi Julie – We are moving into a smaller house and have 3 or 4 items that are quite high end and in great condition. Would you recommend any stores for these not run of the mill items. Thanks
Buying secondhand used to be a hassle and more like a scavanger hunt to find the right pieces. Now, secondhand furniture websites and online groups are making the search process simpler than ever.
Do you guys buy used dining table set from the owner? I am trying to sell Ethan Ellan dining table set (original purchase price is approximately $8,000). Please let me know. Thanks.
Hi there, I am sorry we do not sell furniture. When selling items you may want to try Craigslist, Kijiji and or Ebay!
Good Luck!
If you still have your dinning room, I would be interested
Hi all,
we don’t buy or sell furniture, I’m sorry. Please contact the stores mentioned above directly.
Cheers,
Julie

Moving soon. Have 30 year old dining room set for sale. Are you interested?
hi..i have some furniture.I am looking for sombody ,who buys second hand furniture..they are in good condition..i do not know how to find ..
I’m afraid your list isn’t complete without Around The Block, 150 Lesmill Rd. (Leslie/401) Around The Block is only high quality consignment home furnishings and prices you can’t pass up…and if you do pass an item up, it will be gone when you change your mind! Around The Block is a huge showroom that beautifully displays everything. The showroom is impeccably clean and airy and joy to shop in.
Hi Julie,
I think this site and blog is an excellent listing/resource. May I suggest you also check out the Yesterday’s Finds store at 686 Broadview. Excellent and constantly changing selection of quality new & used furniture and appliances. Alot of their stuff comes from furniture rental agencies, which cater to the real estate and film industries. Plus, they are part of Oasis, a non-profit organization, helping people in recovery to become productive and employment-ready again.
I want to sell a few furnitures like sofas, box spring and mattress, dining table and corner tables, TV stand. Please contact urgently @905-738-9258
Do you know which of these stores accept consignment? Or purchase?
Thank you.
Hi Julie,
Wow, I just thought you were a top agent for Royal LePage, then I go to look for used furniture for props and there you are as a UF Guru! Thanks for the great suggestions…a shopping I will go! Hope to see you in K.
