Furniture consignment shops tend to fall into one of two camps: a narrow specialty, or a wide-open everything-goes mix. Coast Consignment, on Pemberton Avenue in North Vancouver, leans firmly into the second camp, stocking a mix of modern, mid-century, transitional, and high-end pieces alongside unique and eclectic finds that do not fit neatly into any single design era. Furniture is the anchor of the business, but the floor also carries home decor, art, antiques, decorative accessories, lighting, mirrors, rugs, crystalware, and jewellery, with the shop noting that whatever is on display represents only a fraction of what is actually in stock at any given time.
That last point matters for anyone shopping in person: because so much inventory turns over through consignment rather than direct purchasing, the sales floor is really a snapshot of a much larger, constantly shifting supply. Coast Consignment operates as both a consignment venue and an independent reseller, meaning items arrive from local sellers looking to pass on quality used and new furniture, antiques, and collectibles, and the shop also acquires and resells pieces on its own. For sellers, that includes access to professional appraisal services, plus referrals to moving companies, realtors, and interior designers who regularly work with clients downsizing, staging, or redecorating.
Hours are split in a way that reflects the business’s dual audience. Mondays run from 10am to 1:30pm and are set aside specifically for pickups, drop-offs, and trade and film industry shopping, a detail that points to a working relationship with production companies sourcing set dressing and props alongside regular retail customers. Tuesday through Saturday, the shop is open to the general public from 10am to 5:30pm for standard browsing and buying. That Monday carve-out for industry and logistics traffic, kept separate from public retail hours, is not something most neighbourhood consignment shops bother to formalize, and it signals a business built to serve professional buyers as well as walk-in shoppers.
North Vancouver’s Pemberton Avenue location puts the shop within easy reach of the Lower Lonsdale and Central Lonsdale areas, in a part of the North Shore known for a mix of long-established homes and newer condo development, both of which reliably generate consignment-quality furniture and decor as residents move, renovate, or downsize. Coast Consignment is a member of the North Vancouver Chamber of Commerce, and it maintains an active blog covering home decor topics alongside virtual showroom tours for customers who want to browse remotely before making the trip in. Current promotions have included discounts such as 30 percent off outdoor furniture and 25 percent off crystalware and glassware, the kind of rotating markdowns that reward repeat visits rather than a single one-off trip.
It is worth noting plainly that Coast Consignment sells secondhand and new pieces without any formal affiliation to the original furniture brands represented in its inventory, a distinction the shop itself is upfront about. For North Shore residents furnishing a first apartment, restaging a home for sale, or simply hunting for a well-made mid-century piece at a fraction of retail cost, Coast Consignment offers a working mix of consignment furniture, decor, and jewellery inside one North Vancouver storefront, backed by real appraisal and referral services for anyone on the selling side of the same transaction.
