GREAT customer service i don't know why people had problems with the customer service. my girlfriend and i had a great time with the sales person and the warehouse people. the salesperson was patient and knowledgeable, and when we decided we wanted what was in the window, he told us he could get us a new one at floor model price. the warehouse people were quick at the loading zone, and also very friendly. when my dad and i had trouble loading it into our apartment (our own fault), they even gave us some replacement parts at ... read more

cheap but cheap is all that is With modern furniture design at an affordable price and a hip location to boot, Area 51 has found its niche. Its market consists of those who have graduated from the IKEA school and want products that are a little more distinctive, but who aren't willing to pay high-end prices. One can find new and used products here, ranging from Dwell bedding to the occasional Eero Aarnio Ball Chair as well as modern sofas, tables and rugs.

Nice selection, kind of pricey Area 51, located in Capitol Hill, is a very trendy, very retro, very "mod" furniture store. Lots of plastic and plexiglass and chrome and geometry. THink "Barbarella"...

prepare to spend some serious money... this place has some of the coolest home furnishings you can possibly imagine, it is ultra retro and sometimes ultra spendy. it's too bad that to buy an egg-chair like Mork's (from Ork) is going to run you a thousand dollars. when you find a deal at this ultra trendy shop, buy it and don't look back.

Is it worth it? I wandered into this store one weekend and was very impressed with all the different unique items they had.. but when I looked at the price.. I was stunned.. 600 for a small bedside lamp.. way out of my price range.. I'll stick with IKEA

Modern all the way Compared to neighboring used furniture store, yes, Area 51 does seem a little pricey. But compared to all of the other modern furniture stores in Seattle, their stuff is actually a prett good deal. For only $200 more than you would spend at Ikea, you can get a couch that it 10 times more interesting (and already put together). The store is also good for smaller items such as frames or creative shelving.

Great looking furniture, top prices I know that I'm having trouble coming to grips with the new overpriced shops that are popping up on Pine Street on Capitol Hill, and I am a bit poor, but sweet Lord is this store overpriced. $1,400 for a simpe couch, yikes. $400 for a plastic floor light, ouch.

modern furniture Located on Pine St., Area 51 is the only modern furniture store still open on Capitol Hill. When Area 51 first opened its doors a few years back its inventory mainly consisted of modern used vintage pieces. I purchased a great coffee for $400 table that was made in the early 70s and is one of a kind. Now the stock mainly consist of newly made modern pieces in the price range of $00-$2,000 price range. I still like the store but I preferred it when I would come across pieces that were one of a kind.
