But It Looks too Good to be Used Furniture!

usedbedroomfurnitureThat’s what we love to hear! And that’s because Cornerstone is not your typical Used Furniture Store! With 30 years of experience in the Antiques and Consignment field, we know a thing or two about what Baltimore and Washington DC customers want from a Consignment Store.

So we fill our 9,000 Square Foot Store with Like-New Pieces from America’s Best Manufacturers! Pictured here is an inlaid bedroom set from Henredon, along with a Potthast Twin Bed and a Chest on Chest from Madison Square. While all of this is technically “Used Furniture”, it’s certainly not what people expect to see when they hear those words! So, Visit Today to see why so many of our customers say “they wish they’d found us sooner” and that “it looks to good to be used furniture!”

Congratulations Alex on a Job Well Done!

Cornerstone’s  Store Manager, Alex Hernan, realized the fruits of his labor this past Monday as he celebrated Earning his B.S. in Business Administration from the University of Baltimore! Shown here with his girlfriend Alison, Alex’s accomplishment is especially impressive when you find out he did it all while working full time and paying the entire bill himself!Baltimorefurniturestoremanager

When Alex joined Cornerstone’s Delivery Team shortly after graduating Dulaney High School, everyone at Cornerstone knew we had found Someone Special. Alex is what a lot of people would call “The Whole Package”- really bright, with a super hard work ethic and great personality! All of his co-workers are so happy for him reaching this milestone.

So, if it looks like Alex has an extra bounce in his step when you see him at the store, he does. That’s because he’s just lightened his load!

Top 5 Reasons to Buy Traditional Furniture

Today’s furniture buyers have more choices than ever before. With the click of a mouse or a short drive to their brick-and-mortar store, customers can find furniture to suite any taste. Styles ranging from Country to Mid-Century can be delivered to your door in a matter of days! Here are 5 reasons you should consider buying Traditional Furniture.listicletraditionaldiningroomfurniturebaltimore

1. Style– While traditional forms may vary in popularity throughout the years, they never go out of style. That means when you buy classic furniture (think Chippendale and Queen Anne), you won’t “wish you hadn’t” 10 years later. Many of our parents or grandparents had this happen with their choices of Italian or French Provincial, as well as Victorian.
2. Fit– Most homes are tailor-made to handle the style and scale of traditional furniture. Trying to put Mid-Century furniture into a Classic New England Saltbox style home is like …..well, trying to put Mid-Century furniture in a New England Saltbox style home! In addition, there’s nothing more disappointing than getting a new piece of furniture home that just doesn’t fit the size/scale of your home!
3. Luxury– Classic furniture forms have a richness that give a room a sense of elegance, making the space an oasis. Add a piece with inlay or beautiful carving for even more “pop”.henkelharrisbedroom
4. Warmth– While Greys and other “cool” colors come and go, nothing beats the rich warmth and beauty of mahogany and cherry furniture. They’ve been the choice of craftsmen for years. Not only for their initial beauty, but also for the way they develop a rich patina as they age. These pieces make a house a home.
5. Value– Because Traditional furniture never goes out of style, it is readily available on the pre-owned market. Consignments stores, auctions and Craigslist are just a few places to find great Traditional furniture. I prefer the consignment store approach to get expert advice and guidance. But, I’ll admit I’m biased. Finally, people take the best care of their ‘prized possessions’. So, you’re likely to find the highest quality pieces in “like-new” condition and sold at just a fraction of the original price!
