again & again

This company is not a good place to purchase from or do business with. I had a situation with this same store similar to the one I am going to describe below a couple of years ago. I didn’t review it back then because I thought it was a one time occurance. I guess I was wrong.
I visited the showroom and liked a piece of furniture. When I had an opportunity, I called the showroom to find out more information on the furniture piece. I was on the phone for about 20 minutes with one of the showroom staff asking questions about the condition, if there were any problems with the piece that they knew of, the price, etc. They sent me photo’s of some of the issues with the piece which I found to be acceptable.
I asked what the price was and was quoted the price by the salesperson. I was then told it would be considerably less (25%) because the showroom was having a storewide sale through next week. Because the store’s prices are generally high for what the item is, I inquired if there was any further room in the reduced price because I still needed to have the item delivered. The sales person said they would contact the owner Leslie and call me back with an answer.
About 45 minutes later, Leslie the owner called me back and quoted the original price and not the sale price which had already been quoted by the showroom salesperson. I mentioned to her that I had already been quoted the sales price on the item. She said she would not honor the price quoted by her showroom sales person. When I questioned about the different price, her response was «well, it’s really hard to find good help these days» amongst other derogatory comments about her own salesperson. I couldn’t believe what I heard. No honoring the showrom quote, no apologies, no doing the right thing, no nothing and too bad… sorry Charlie…
BEWARE…With these kind of business practices, I can’t imagine how this place keeps it’s doors open. (Can you imagine having a service problem with something you’ve already bought from them?)
Doing business with Again and Again in Dallas is not something I would recommend… ever.

I bought a brown mid century sofa that had great lines during their sidewalk sale for 160 on 11÷3÷12. When I pulled out the sofa from the sidewalk I thought I smelled urine, but the woman kept telling me, «I don’t smell anything.» I pulled the sofa all the way out and didn’t smell anything. As soon as I got it in the car I knew. I bought special pet urine stuff and washed everything. Rented a steam cleaner, took out the batting. It was not salvageable. I spent 160 and three full days trying to clean and remove the extra batting/​foam. It was disgusting. I think they knew this and sold it anyway (once it was inside the smell was suffocating) – hence, one of the pieces they did not recover – as that’s their main gig. I felt duped. I was duped. My mistake, and will never buy used upholstery pieces again. Never again. I would never do that to anyone and I put it on the curb for bulk-​trask pickup.

Great shop and the owner of the store Rocks!

Cool pieces — most need a little TLC — the prices aren’t exactly the cheapest. They do offer reupholstering services. If you’re looking for something unique and you’re not on a budget — go.
Some items I would have bought:
— A cool mustard green sofa that I would have reupholstered.
— A cool chandelier to go in a guest room.
— A way cool high back chair that I would have had reupholstered.

WOW! Eye candy for me and my daughter! We really like this place! My daughter bought a LIME GREEN chaise here for her house. Really great deal! Very Unique Vintage Furniture! They will customize anything you buy. If you already have a piece of furniture you want painted or reupholstered… your wish is there command! Funky, Shabby Chic, vintage… this is the place!

When it comes to shopping, I’m a digger and hunter. I’m the one at Ross thumbing through the racks in record speed and leaving. I can scan through the antique mall and spot a find or keep moving in 30min. I want to find those places where old people get rid of their stuff and I get it on the cheap. Again and Again does this work for you — they probably buy from estate sales and the like and then haul it back to the store to charge you for their find. Lots of mid century modern goodies, stuff from the 60’s and 70’s as well, but pretty over priced. If you want to pay for someone to find your vintage housewares, Again and Again is your place. Me… I will do my leg work all by me sef. Then we can compare my vintage starburst mirror or clock for $ 15 to your $ 125 from Again and Again.

The selection here is quite good. The prices are about standard for antique shops in the middle of the city (if you want better pricing, go to the less metro area antique shops).
They let you pick the pieces you like and will restore it for you, or you can do it yourself. Also, you can bring in a piece that you already have and they will restore it for you at what appear to be reasonable pricing as well.

Just got done eating at the Porch with some peeps and decided to do a little furniture perusing. Parking in the back definitely suggested. On the way in I noticed some guys under a tent working on pieces, doing a little painting here, a little touch up there, perhaps a tad bit of fix’n up all over da place. There was a lot of furniture outside, not covered (what happens when it rains or there is a massive snow storm in the middle of July). Some of the pieces looked great, in sellable conditions, others not so much.
Once inside the house turned store, as one would think upon first entering, the inner voice chirped, «jeeeez this place is packed full of stuff». Then thoughts of, «wow these prices are really high.» Followed by, ‘It’s so cluttered it seemed there was no concerted effort in organizing the pieces.” Then truth set in when my friend said, «Let’s drive around during bulk trash, scout the garage & estate sales, mark up everything so high people will think that it’s ‘that unique’ and open up our own place.»
The fact of the matter is, there are some unique pieces at the store. However, there were multiple pieces that needed that facelift and should not be sold, in my opinion, at such a high price. For instance there were two chairs that looked worn down (the chair itself was one color but the butt pad (seat cushion) was brownish), and when I pressed down on the seat cushion it felt crunchy, kinda like floral foam. Check this place out with some reservation, keeping in mind that being green comes with a price. Break out the marks-​a lot and the bedazzler and lets kick it old school.

Looking for unique finds for your home? From vintage dressers to reformed (recovered couches), there is always something cool to unearth at Again & Again.
If you don’t have time to go by the store, you can often catch a glimpse of some cool new finds on Craigslist or call and let them know what you’re in the market for. At Again & Again, you never know what will «pop» up again!
Another plus, by buying old finds for your new digs, you are being «green.» You are reusing, recycling and possibly saving, oh say, another piece of plywood furniture from being slapped together on your behalf. Why go for that when you can get something substantial, something unique and something that needs you to help carry on it’s historic tale?

Great shop!!! I have bought some amazing pieces here. Two that they refinished (chair painted white with red upholstery and a white secretary desk) and two that came perfect (a shabby chic armoire and a bench with a back). They are nice people with an amazing eye for chic stuff.

Again & Again brings vintage pop to Henderson Avenue with great prices, indie style and lots of fun textures and colors. They really shine when the guys in the back (under a tent) refinish and funkify old stuff to new glory. They do furniture pretty affordably, but I’ve never had the cash to shell out on one of their sofa rehabs, which can be really amazing. Leslie, the owner, has a great eye for texture/​pattern and slick color combinations.
