Consigning Policy

At JNSQ Home, every piece tells a story, of craftsmanship, character, and charm. Our consignment process is designed to honor that story while making it simple and rewarding for you. From the moment your piece arrives, we handle it with care and integrity, ensuring it finds its next home with someone who will love it just as much as you have.

What We Accept

We accept a wide range of furniture items, home décor, wallpaper and designer fabrics, but we specialize in the unique and “special” pieces that add that certain je ne sais quoi feeling to a home.

 

A Few of the Common Brands We Consign:
 

  • Anthropologie

  • Ballard

  • Crate & Barrel

  • Ethan Allen

  • Lee Industries

  • Pottery Barn

  • Rejuvenation

  • Restoration Hardware

  • Serena & Lily

  • West Elm

    PLUS MANY MORE....


More important than the brand, we need to consider the following details before accepting an item for consignment:
 

  1. Condition: We evaluate each piece on a scale of 1-10 with 10 being the best. We look for and accept pieces that rate between 8-10 (which compares to an item in new to like new condition with no to minor imperfections).
     

  2. Style: We welcome a variety of styles from modern to antique. We focus on styles that are popular and highly desirable in the marketplace for consumers. We want your items to sell quickly and for the most money!
     

  3. Environment: We only accept items that have been stored in smoke-free, mold, mildew, and other toxin free environments. All items must also be free from pet odors and stains or other pet damage.
     

  4. Age: We understand that many items grow more desirable with age, but we take age into the consideration of each piece and prefer any upholstery to be less than 10 years old. Outdated furniture, such as, TV armoires, dark pine from the 1980’s, entertainment centers, or similar items will not be considered.

How We Price Items

We work together with you, the consignor, to establish the best price for your item(s). We take all factors into consideration such as; item, condition, market value, age, and demand to determine the best price that balances both sale time and profit variables for all parties.
