I drove here and BOOM — nada.

Giving this 3 stars, because it is good for people who have traditional homes and furnishings. Not my style, so I didn’t get much out of my visit. They have tons of things that are good for people who like wood, leather, or brown furniture. The prices seemed pretty good and the furniture pieces were in good condition. They do organize everything by room (living room, dining room, nightstands, bar stools etc.), so it’s not that hard to navigate. It’s just overwhelming with how much they have. They surely maximize every inch of the warehouse. 3 – 4 stars for people with traditional homes/​taste. 1 star for me since I prefer modern.

As far as second hand stores go, this place is the best for furniture. But, it is hit and miss. If it was a low-​end condo model, you might find lower end furniture. But, if it was a high end home and you are looking for great furniture, you are going to get a huge discount. They also have some really nice «art» in great frames with a large selection. The bedding is also pretty special. I have bought many items here over the years.

Here’s the deal: this is NOT new furniture. Like the name suggests, it was used in a model home. It’s not the pottery barn, and it’s not Ikea; it’s a warehouse full of items packed to the ceiling.
I personally found some great stuff here, and Gloria is delightful and knowledgeable about all the inventory (and will call you or send pictures when certain items come in if you leave your info).
Do you have to dig around a little? Yes. Is it a little overwhelming? Yes. But that’s the appeal! You can actually score some great deals here on some lightly used furniture (because paying full price blows). I can’t speak about the delivery as I self transported, but I will definitely be coming back!

Most everything looks used and lots of items very used. Hard to find what you need as everything is stacked up. Ok if you like to hunt through stacks. Nice employees.

I found an excellent coffee table. Original price would have been over $ 600 and I bought it for $ 235. I will go back.

I bought a bedroom set about a year ago here but come to find out a piece of it was damaged when delivered. Which is another thing, this place doesn’t deliver but they hook you up with someone who does and charges a fortune if you live far away like I do and apparently damages your stuff. Anyhoo, I just came back here today cause I was in the area and the place is just jam packed with stuff, so much so that you can barely see what they have because it is all on top of each other. They closed a part of the show room they used to have which makes it harder to display their stuff. The prices are a bit high for some things but you can get a good deal on some stuff. I guess since it is hit and miss what you will find since they get there stuff from model homes. It is worth a stop by if you are looking to get some furnishings for less.

Ever wonder where all of the furniture and wall accessories of model homes end up at? Well, wonder no more. RUF furniture is one of the OC’s consignment centers where you’ll find EVERYTHING from a model house. Down to the bottled pickled vegetables and cheesy wall art. There are some fantastic deals on dining sets, couches and bed/​dressers and cabinets. Be sure to check often as inventory is unique and it frequently turns over. Prices are reasonable, but be sure to know what you want and know how to get it home yourself!
