If you're moving away or just need to make room in your home, there are several options for getting rid of your gently-used furniture, and most of them aren't great. Selling via Craigslist and Facebook Marketplace--or the slew of new apps that came out a couple of years ago--means you have to deal directly with potential buyers. It's never fun or easy, and people even flake out when you're giving furniture away. And what if you're looking to buy? Scouring those same apps as a buyer is equally inconvenient. Everett's newest furniture store, Everett Consignment, is a much better choice.

I met with owner Joey Ghioni, who also owns Ballard Consignment as well as The Furniture Guy in Greenwood. Ballard Consignment's been open for 9 years and was the Northwest's largest consignment store until Everett Consignment opened. At 60,000 square feet, it's twice as big as its Ballard counterpart. So what can you expect to find? Lots of interesting items consigned by individuals plus great deals on returns from other furniture stores Ghioni deals directly with.

Much of the new furniture sold today is shipped in boxes and assembled by the customer. if you don't discover that your new piece isn't right for you until after you've assembled it and then return it, the store won't take it apart and repackage it. They cut their losses by selling it assembled via consignment. That's another advantage for buyers: the item you buy comes directly off the floor assembled, with no extra work and no surprises. 

Wander the store and you'll find endless inspiration from thoughtfully grouped items. It's like the decorating is already done for you, and you can take it home immediately. Be sure to climb to the top floor, which is reserved for wall art.

I didn't get any photos of the bedroom area because the decorative headboards didn't photograph well without a made bed but trust me, that room's worth a visit. There are some truly beautiful pieces in there. On the other end of that level, you'll find great dining tables and lots of colorful seating options to go with them.

Follow Everett Consignment on Facebook or Instagram and you can see new items as they're listed for sale. If you'd like to sell with them, head to the About Us page on their website for the email address to send photos to, as well as their guidelines and contract forms. Selling via consignment is convenient because the store takes care of all the details and will keep the item on display indefinitely, then mail you a check for 50% of the sale price once it's sold. 

Whether you're buying or selling furniture, or end up doing both, head to Everett Consignment and enjoy how easy it all can be.
