Ask a longtime South Miami resident where to find a well made side table or a piece of original art without paying gallery prices, and many will point to Consignment Corner Miami, a fixture at 8267 SW 124th Street in Pinecrest that bills itself as the first consignment store to open in South Miami. The shop has stayed in the hands of the same family for 45 years, an unusually long run for a resale business and one that has let it build the kind of steady consignor and buyer relationships that keep a rotating inventory interesting year after year.
Inside the 3,500 square foot showroom, the focus sits squarely on furniture, home decor, fine art, and antiques rather than clothing or general merchandise, which lets the space read more like a curated gallery than a typical thrift store. Because the inventory turns over constantly as new consignments arrive, the business describes its own approach as offering shoppers a blend of old and new, meaning a single visit might turn up a mid century credenza next to a more contemporary lamp or a framed painting alongside a set of antique dining chairs. That mix rewards repeat visits, since the floor a customer sees on a Tuesday is unlikely to look the same by the following weekend.
Consignment Corner Miami is open Monday through Saturday from 10am to 6pm, giving both weekday browsers and Saturday shoppers a chance to work the store into a normal Pinecrest or South Miami errand run. Beyond retail sales, the business actively solicits consignors, inviting residents who are downsizing, redecorating, or settling an estate to bring in furniture, art, and antiques in exchange for top dollar once items sell. That two sided model, pairing a steady stream of local sellers with an equally steady stream of local buyers, is part of what has kept a single family owned shop competitive in a Miami furniture and decor market that includes far larger national resale chains.
Location matters here too. Pinecrest and the surrounding South Miami area are known for established, design conscious households, and a consignment shop specializing in furniture and fine art fits naturally into a neighborhood where residents are as likely to be refreshing a formal dining room as they are to be furnishing a first condo. Being the first consignment store in South Miami also means the business has had decades to become a known quantity locally, the kind of shop neighbors recommend to each other rather than one shoppers stumble across only through a general web search.
For anyone planning a visit, the address is 8267 SW 124th Street, Pinecrest, FL 33156, and the business can be reached at (305) 235-0958 or by email for questions about current inventory or the consignment process. Shoppers looking for a specific style of furniture or a particular type of artwork are generally encouraged to call ahead or stop by regularly, since the constantly changing floor means there is no fixed catalog to browse online the way there would be at a typical furniture retailer.
In a city with no shortage of home decor options, Consignment Corner Miami has carved out a specific niche: a family run, 45 year old Pinecrest institution where fine art, antiques, and quality furniture arrive through local consignment and leave with local buyers, making it one of South Miami’s original and longest running resale destinations for anyone furnishing or refreshing a Miami area home.
