9th Street Designer Clearance

This place has a huge variety of furniture in a lot of different design styles. The staff is not at all pushy and will leave you alone while you browse, but they’re also very happy to answer any questions you have. The furniture isn’t cheap, but it’s reasonably priced for the quality. I didn’t happen to find what I was looking for when I visited, but I’ll definitely be back next time I’m looking for furniture.

Wide variety of furniture of all different styles that you won’t find anywhere else. Purchased a nice dining set recently and it was an enjoyable experience; Jerome is a great guy and very nice to deal with.
In reviewing Unilocal post-​purchase, I must say I was very surprised by the negative responses to negative Unilocal reviews. You guys have great products and service; however the responses to your Unilocal feedback is a major turnoff and doesn’t make me want to spend more. Don’t feed the trolls.
Delivery was great, everything was well packaged and wrapped and they took away all the mess.

I had a lovely experience with their product but not quite for the overall experience. I had placed an order for a piece of furniture that was put to order as a new unit. Come the time of the expected delivery I called and was told that it wasn’t ready. I asked if I can get the display piece and of course the answer was yes. Now this comes the mis-​understanding (or not so flattering experience part), I asked if it can be delivered since I am taking the display piece and sure enough the piece was delivered to my house as planned. Then the truck driver asked me to paid over 100 dollars of shipping for a piece that I paid 900 for (now as a displayed model). There isn’t much I can do at that point since I do not want to argue with 9^th Street Designer while the truck driver came from Stockton to truck it to me. Moral of the Story, be careful but I must say the piece that I bought was very well made and top quality material. For the product and the initial sales services I give them the 5 stars, but with the 1 star delivery experience I had to average it out to a 3 star. Sorry … Not that I cannot afford that delivery cost just that it happened made me uncomfortable.

I love this store and I have yet to purchase anything but I KNOW I will! Michael is the absolute nicest and accommodating sales guy! They have a variety of high end and some one of a kind pieces. A lot of nice statement items! I’ll follow-​up once I purchase but I can’t wait to do so as I plan to furnish most of my house and Michael will be assisting me with such! I’ll post pics. Based on the furniture in their store, I know Michael is going to hook my place up!
Would highly recommend for their excellent customer service and quality furniture.

lol it seems the owner likes to comment on the age of potential clients. PC is the best policy even if you are that educated.
in terms of the furniture, very old fashion stuff (big junky and not space-​efficient). price is not necessarily cheaper than lots of other top notch stores. i don’t really know where these «brand name» furnitures come from… anyway, not my cup of tea.

Great selection of furniture. I must admit, I am a picky buyer, I hardly find something I like (design, color, comfort, price etc.). In this place I found several great pieces, and it was hard to choose. Jerome, was very kind and patient.
We received the sofa the same day!

Jerome was a treat! Love our couch and the price is super reasonable. Highly recommend.

Love this place. I can walk around and enjoy the variety of furniture all day long. The owner (sorry forgot his name) was extremely friendly, helpful and a pleasure to do business with. I found a lovely one of kind couch that I fell in love with snd purchased. The best part of my purchase is the fact that my couch is unique and half of SF won’t have (Ikea, cb2). Definitely would recommend this place to anyone who is looking for unique pieces and wonderful service.
Can’t wait for my next purchase!

I agree with some of the folks who have commented that the people who work there have a sense of humor and service… but that is only until they think you are buying something from them. I had to return something I purchased from them and that was a very unpleasant experience. Firstly, they tell you verbally that everything is 100% refundable, but the invoice says ALL SALES FINAL. Secondly, they told me that if I didnt like the furniture upon delivery, the delivery guy can take it back with him for no additional cost. However, when the delivery guy came and I asked to return the furniture, he said I have to pay $ 50 more! Lastly, when I came to return the furniture to them, they had no help so my dad and I lifted 2 pieces of furniture back to their showroom. The guy there had the guts to tell me to put it back exactly where I had first seen it when initially browsing the showroom.
Horrible service. I wouldve actually purchased another set from them at some point but this kind of short-​term thinking on their part loses long-​term business.

What the California hippie is happening to me!!! The unthinkable has happened, I bought a dining room set that I actually plan to eat at! So having been a fan of the espresso furniture trend for years, the new me is taking a u-​turn and so into reclaimed wood furniture now. Unilocal of course delivered on this search and this is how I found this fantabulous store!
Street parking is a-​plenty, and it’s also right across from the plaza that houses Trader Joes, Nordstrom Rack etc. In case you’re wondering, I parallel parked like a boss today.
Walking upstairs I was immediately taken with the dining set at the entrance and felt like I had a really good shot of finding a unique set here. I was immediately greeted by Jerome who listened to what I was looking for, and offered his design opinions. I knew right away which table I wanted, but turned into the goldilocks of chairs. He was super patient & did his best to help me stay within budget. I ended up with the exact set I wanted and they delivered the same day for a reasonable fee!
Checking out with Michael was also fun, I really liked that he only wanted a small deposit ($ 20) and said to pay via check upon delivery. He wanted me to see it in my house and be fully in love with it before buying. Luckily no buyers remorse on my end!
The design room is chock full of unique pieces, and really pieces for every style. I’ll be back for sure! They also have sale items at super low prices so I’ll be back for sure. Also, shoutout to Manuel and his team for delivering same day, it’s much appreciated. They were quick, super professional and personable!

This place is great! I forget his name but the gentleman who helped me was totally charming, understood my needs immediately, and spent over 30 minutes showing me individual pieces he thought I would like. I left with a sofa, a beautiful reclaimed wood dining table, and Bulgari chairs (for ikea prices). I love love my new furniture and couldn’t recommend this spot more highly! The delivery service was quick and professional and I will be coming back if I ever need new furniture.

Just made a large purchase here (dresser, large living room credenza and large mirror) and could not be happier with the purchase or Michael and Jerome — both went above and beyond showing us around, answering our questions and making sure we were finding exactly what we were looking for.
I’ve read some of the negative reviews here, and have to respond. When you come to 9^th Street Designer Clearance, you have to come with an open mind and no preconceived notions of what they may or may not have in stock/​on the floor on any given day. That’s what makes this place so unique — you are going to find items and great prices that you simply will not find in «traditional» furniture stores. Some may have scratches, some may be brand new, and some may be somewhere in-​between — but that’s okay — that’s what this store is all about — and that’s why you can get some incredible savings. I couldn’t be more thrilled with my purchases.
I am especially pleased with their service. I purchased the items late in the afternoon and they were delivered that evening. Unfortunately, the delivery guys slightly damaged the dresser moving it into my apartment. I told them to take it back to the store and called Jerome — he had it fixed (better than new) and redelivered in under 24-​hours. No questions. No hassles. He just wanted to make sure I was happy with the purchase and satisfied with the items.
For anyone looking to find unique items — not the same boring furniture you see in a thousand other stores, this is the place. Great prices. Speedy delivery and overall outstanding service. Couldn’t be happier.

I can’t remember when I’ve had a more enjoyable shopping experience! I arrived at the store and was treated warmly from the moment I walked in. Michael and his staff strike the perfect balance between letting you explore without pressure and offering assistance when needed. The selection is nothing short of awesome; I had to go through the whole store twice just to be certain I hadn’t missed anything. It’s organized well, but still gives you some of that «treasure hunt» satisfaction.
Michael was great and spent an inordinate amount of time assisting me with a fairly low-​budget purchase. Despite that, he never made me feel like I wasn’t an important customer. I’ve read the (very few) negative comments here and all I can figure is that they weren’t able to enjoy Michael’s irreverent sense of humor. Geeez, that’s part of what made shopping here so fun, as far as I’m concerned! I’ll definitely be back.
My only regret is that I don’t have an empty house to furnish. If I did, I would certainly start here first. I don’t leave many reviews on Unilocal,but this one was well-​deserved.

9^th Street Designer Clearance has one of the broadest ranges of any furniture store in San Francisco. If you are looking for a distinctive or unusual piece there are few places that can compare. They also offer a great value for the quality and craftsmanship of the pieces in their showroom. On our initial visits they gave us plenty of space — no hard pitch which was very welcome.
As we honed in on what we wanted both Michael and Jerome were easy going, friendly and knowledgeable with a good sense of humor. We had lined up on a beautiful Italian leather sectional. When we got it home and found the color was not right, they worked with us to exchange it for a color that really worked for us. Faced with something that could have been difficult, they made it easy to deal with.
There are always new things coming in. The range of styles and quality of the products together with their discount pricing make it well worth a visit. We will definitely be back.

Yeah, we were able to find a great leather sofa sectional in a price we can stomach! Great selection!

Great opportunity to find furniture deals, and a fun buying experience, but you need to be willing to roll with things a bit. Details below.
We stumbled upon this place after hitting some of the other stores in the area. Michael (who I assume is the owner), came to find us to explain the background of the store — he took his time to give the full run-​down, answered our questions, and then left us free to roam around. I wasn’t expecting we’d see anything we liked, but right away found a table that stood out. We sat down with him and chatted some more — he indicated they’d deliver that night if we wanted, and we settled on delivery the next day.
We concluded the transaction and set off excited to have found a table my girlfriend and I really liked.
By the time I had gotten home I had read up on the Unilocal reviews and was very concerned. I was convinced there was something I missed that would turn out to bite me, as I felt the transaction and buying experience, while slightly odd, seem to go smoothly.
I called him the next day to voice my concerns, and not only did he acknowledge the PR issues he’s got with some people from Unilocal,he indicated he’d work with me to manage my concerns, which he did to a T, and we wound up getting the table that afternoon, in great shape and just the way we had pictured it.
I am convinced that his idiosyncrasies are just that — and that if you can be open to a slightly different experience (he asked for a tiny deposit, and only takes checks, for example), you will find yourselves happy with the result and perhaps even appreciative that someone marches to their own drumbeat vs the way every other store does. If you want Pottery Barn or Crate and Barrel, you should just go there. If you like to poke around and maybe get a deal on something unique, give this spot a try.

I don’t care how good the furniture is or cheap the prices are. I will never come back here. I proceeded to ask the owner where their media centers were, intent on purchasing one for my new home. His condescending response is:
POINT 1:
«What’re ya gonna put in it, kid?»
And before I respond, he proceeds to mention how young my wife looked, thought she might have been 12, and would have guessed she was my sister.
I didn’t get angry. Just said, «I wouldn’t say that if I were a salesperson here.»
Didn’t receive any apology and just walked out. Too bad he didn’t respect us enough to learn we were working with a 10K budget.
Owner says as we walk out, «Sorry you have such a thin skin, sir.»
Really?

I really like the scrounge process of finding something custom and undiscovered. There are more people in the world that have thousands to waste. I want to save thousands so I shop around here. Not for the person who hasnt the artful designer’s eye. The boys will do better for cash so bargain New York sty
le and have a blast!

A friend told us about this place, so we went with him yesterday after looking for the last few weeks at a variety of furniture stores. Not knowing what to expect, we were quite pleased with the quality of the furniture, the variety of options, and without planning on it, ended up buying a gorgeous leather sofa sectional and it was delivered that same night.
Michael was a joy to deal with, offering information and explanations, but not being pushy nor obtrusive. This was one of the easiest purchases we have ever made, and we will be back to buy complementary pieces for our new Arias sofa.
This is a great find!

We went back twice during our shop for a new couch for our living room.
The first time was a great experience. The man was extremely helpful, asked us the questions that would help guide our choice and was not pushy.
The second time we went back to look at the same couch. The man was rude and pushy. He basically told us we’ll never be able to find the same deal and take it or leave it. We were basically ready to make a purchase that day, but with that type of customer service, I had no problem spending the same amount of money and buying a bit more at West Elm when they had their 25% sale during January.
