What People Are Saying About Nick Metropolis Collectible

This open-air corner lot with the circus atmosphere is the first place to go when searching for that piece of furniture so odd no one else would dream of stocking it. Popular with Hollywood set dressers and eccentric collectors alike, Nick Metropolis rarely fails to surprise with its constantly changing stock of historic weirdness. From shamelessly trashy leopard-print sofas to utilitarian racks of classroom lockers; from atomic-patterned tiki bars to vintage bowling score tables, the accent is on kitsch.

Yeah I have to agree with the other reviewers here. I bought a couch from Nick and when he delivered it, I asked him if he'd be interested in the couch in my current place that I needed to get rid of. I settled on a super low price cause I just needed it out of there and didn't want to deal with the hassle of it myself. Once loaded on the truck he then told me that he was not giving me that money but it would be on consignment and I would get it when it sold. Not at all what we discussed when the couch was upstairs in the house. Ridiculous. I chased him for the money for a few months and finally gave up and realized he had simply taken my couch.

Watch out big time
by CabinetMaker at Citysearch
Do not let this guy sell ANYTHING for you. If he owes you money, my heart goes out to you, you are in for a LONG wait and million reasons why he can't pay you.
- Pros: Neat stuff to look at
- Cons: Too bad he comes off as such a real person...................he's not.
