New England Home Furniture Consignment can only function with you, our most valued customers. We need your unique, high quality furniture and home décor that is in excellent condition. You may be tired of your furniture, need to downsize, relocating, or have inherited pieces that do not fit your style or space, but there are thousands of people looking for exactly what you are looking to dispose of. NEHFC’s goal is to provide the finest pre-owned merchandise to our customers while satisfying your desire for the quickest sale and maximum return on furniture and home décor.
We have set high standards for what we want to display in our showroom because we want to offer our customers the quality and style that they are looking for without having to sort through items that could be found at a thrift store or yard sale. We take great care in selecting the best items that will fit into our gallery and we inspect each item carefully to maintain our standards. We must see your furniture items before accepting them, basing our decisions on customer preferences, what tends to sell best, availability of space and marketability of items. To increase the opportunity of having your items accepted and for maximum profit please polish, clean or repair your items before bringing them in.
Although you do not need an appointment to bring your home décor items to the gallery, please read the following steps in consigning with us.

Once your items have arrived in our gallery NEHFC will determine the prices based on the information you provide. Our intention is to accurately determine the correct value of your items and price them in a manner that provides a fair and appealing value. Prices will be set and based on information such as manufacturer, original purchase price, as well as consideration given to buyer demand, popularity, condition, and style. It is in everyone’s best interest to price items at fair market value with the ultimate and realistic goal of selling each item within the first month of consignment.

Consignor checks will be available for pick-up on the 5th day of the month following the sale of your items the previous month. If checks are not picked up by the last day of the month they will be mailed.
