Are there any stores in this part of Philadelphia that sell used furniture? I am relatively new to Philadelphia and love rummaging around shops that are stuffed to the gills with lots of antique furniture, second hand housewares, etc. I've found one place in West Philly just off of Clark Park on Baltimore Ave.. I'd welcome any tips to places like that in this area. No fancy smancy places, rather dusty antique shops with diamonds in the rough inside.

Thanks.

I found this one by accident, but what a find! Mostly furniture, maybe some glassware and knicknacks, but a spacious warehouse full of used furniture. Reasonably priced, the last time I was there. Definitely worth the trip - 20 min ride at the most.

I don't know if it is the 6100 block the other poster mentioned but there are atleast two of the shops you mention on Germantown Ave near Queen Lane. :Near Family Dollar. but if you are looking for plasma tvs, try best buy. good luck

There is a place if you drive up Ridge Ave and make a left on Butler Pike - id say its about a mile up on your right, right by Better Health Tanning, Its like a small industrial park area - lots of trucks, found it the other day - and its loaded with stuff. Furniture, glass, artwork, lamps, etc. Uhuru on Spruce is great too, between Camac and 13th.

Fairmount Avenue at 21st Street has a nice little shop that seems to be reasonable.
