What People Are Saying About Nick Metropolis Collectible

The Scene
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.
The Goods
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. Artist-designed boomerang tables are covered with decoupage images of curvy babes or shaggy Beatles. Larger items include rows of well-used theater seats and massive promotional posters. Inside you'll find amateur artwork, ship models, globes, tacky lamps and other unique pieces calculated to add atmosphere to your swinging bachelor or bachelorette pad.

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.

SHAME ON YOU NICK! This explains why your quality of stock is more like the end of the weekend garage sale! If you are not paying the people who bring you furniture to sell for them - sooner or later the word will get around - and you'll run out of suppliers! OOPS! - You may just be too too late! Clean up the place and get your reputation back on track. You neighbors all say the same as these reviewers about why your place has gone down hill. You don't pay your consignees - you're not the only game on LaBrea for consignment - I'll just go somewhere else too! AK

The south side of the lot is occupied by Nala, a separate shop specializing in unusual iron lawn and garden furniture, fountains, folk art, artist-made furniture and a range of imported treats from around the world.
Parking:
There's no parking on La Brea between 4pm and 7pm, and you're likely to be towed if you forget. Park around the corner on Sycamore, or at one of the meters on First instead.
