FAQ
Buying & Product Information
Every piece undergoes a multi-point inspection for structural integrity and cleanliness. We only accept "Good" to "Like-New" items; any minor cosmetic character typical of high-quality pre-owned furniture will be clearly noted.
Yes. If you are shopping remotely, contact us via email or text. We can provide high-resolution photos or a video walk-around to show scale, color, and detail before you buy.
Our prices are firm to respect our consignors' returns, but we use a dynamic pricing model. If an item remains in the gallery for an extended period, the price may decrease automatically.
We offer a 48-hour return window for online purchases to ensure the piece fits your home. In-store purchases are final sale as they can be inspected in person prior to purchase.
Shipping & Store Pickup
For Houston, you have two option: Pickup by yourself from our store or select ship to use our local shipping to your location in Houston area. For all other cities, please message us with your zip code for a manual custom quote before purchasing.
Pickup is free at our Houston gallery. Please bring your order confirmation and a valid ID. Due to limited space, we ask that all items be collected within 5 business days.
We can guide you, but we are not responsible for securing items in vehicles. Please bring a "moving buddy" and your own tie-downs or furniture blankets to ensure a safe trip home.
Yes. We maintain a list of trusted local delivery professionals who specialize in high-end furniture handling. You can contact and book them directly for your delivery needs.
Consignment & Selling
We provide a professional showroom and handle all marketing and security. To start, email clear photos of your furniture or decor to 2debutfurniture@gmail.com for a preliminary review.
We accept stylish, structurally sound, and impeccably clean items. We generally accept seasonal items (like patio furniture or holiday decor) one full season in advance.
Our team sets prices based on brand and market demand. The standard contract is 90 days, which allows for maximum exposure in our gallery and online store.
All consignors receive 24/7 access to a private online portal. You can use this to track if your items have sold, view your balance, and monitor contract expiration dates.
Our transparent percentage split covers professional showroom display, photography, digital marketing, credit card processing fees, and administrative costs.
We manage the pricing and markdown strategy to ensure a sale. Because we invest in labor and marketing immediately, an early-withdrawal fee applies if items are removed before the term ends.
You have a 5-day window at the end of your contract to pick up your item. If not collected, we coordinate a donation to a local Houston charity and provide you with a tax receipt.
Payments are available after the buyer's return window has closed. You can collect a check at the store, have it mailed for a small fee, or use your balance as store credit.
Items remain your property until sold. We recommend confirming that your homeowner’s insurance covers personal property located off-site at a consignment gallery.
Beyond large furniture, we accept high-quality lamps, rugs, mirrors, and tabletop decor that meet our cleanliness and style standards.
Yes. After your items are pre-approved via email, we will schedule a specific "drop and sign" appointment to ensure our team is ready to assist you.
We only accept items in ready-to-sell condition. Please ensure all items are thoroughly cleaned and functionally sound before your scheduled drop-off.
