Review from Cindy M.

I love this place. I'm a sucker for a good deal, and I'll gladly take the best quality someone else's money could buy. I've been in the market for a dining room table for a while, but new ones cost a small fortune and finding one on Craig's List was turning into a nightmare of every day searches. So I popped down to McCarney's new location on Market Street, and front and center was a gorgeous Danish style table with the most ingenious pop-up leaf. The price was right - no need to haggle- and they gave me a delivery guy's name. He brought it 3 days later. And it's perfect! I'm very happy with the whole experience.
and how cool that this 40+ year old table journeyed all the way from Scotland to my humble little dining room. So much more fun than buying something new. -

Really enjoyed my recent trip to McCarney's. Great proprieter with ton's of energy. Nice, unique pieces in good condition. Inventory is also online. Didn't find what I was looking for on my most recent visit, but look forward to visiting again.

We found a beautiful 1920's slide-leaf table in pretty good shape and paired it with a set of not original, but extremely similar chairs. Whoever happens to be running the floor, you're bound to have a really easy, no pressure experience.
I look forward to coming back sometime for bookshelves. -

Next stop, the antique stores. Here's some new info -- Grand Central and McCarney's aren't just neighbors, they share the floor space. You stroll from one store to the other almost without knowing it. McCarney's will offer "sales" (20% off today) while Grand Central does not.
Suffice it to say that this was the place where we lost track of time, we browsed for over an hour until closing time and they threw us out. The sales girl was pleasant, efficient and had a great smile.
You can get a beautiful antique bed here for no more than a new veneer imported piece of dubious quality -- say $1500 for a queen.Listed in: Bed Shopping

Trauma! Sadness! My furniture mom & dad got a divorce! The former co-store of McCarney's & McCarneys split up. McCarneys is now on Market in a MUCH smaller space. I can't find the other store. The allure of rooting through 2+ floors of stuff to find your personal treasure is gone. The variety of 2 different stores in one is one. And sadly, the selection is gone due to the tiny space. The owners *are* still nice as pie & funny. So hopefully, they'll open up the basement of the new space & add more stock.

Yes I might actually be an adult. okay maybe not quite, but I will soon have some adult furniture thanks to the wonderful wholesale antique folks at McCarney's.
And even in that old-timey way, McCarney's does layaway. No credit necessary, just a friendly smile and some money down. Sure you have to visit your furniture, but it always gives you a chance to add something else to the list. We bought a 1940s drop leaf table and some rather modern couches, but there is still a bar and a secretary desk we had our eye on.
As other reviewers have noted - it's dangerous at McCarney's - dangerously adult.Listed in: Born to Shop

A beautiful place to find antique hardwoods in perfect or near-perfect condition, at the price of their Ikea equivalents. I bought a beautiful burl walnut armoire here for under $400. Sales here are frequent, and if you join the mailing list you will be invited to private sale events. The sale prices, combined with the fact that antique furniture doesn't depreciate, makes buying hardwoods here, instead of disposable Ikea furniture, a no-brainer.
The staff, while obviously eager to make a sale, are helpful and honest in their advice. Also worth note is that the store owner has contacts with artisans who can refinish, darken, or lighten a piece if it isn't quite right for you. Also, while they don't deliver, they do provide contact information for a delivery service.
One note: this store spans one half each of three floors of a building; the other halves of each floor compose a separate antique furniture store which shares the same space. This might not ultimately matter to a consumer, but be sure to find the right staff when you decide to purchase. -

This store is amazing! I couldn't believe how many beautiful antique pieces of furniture they had and the prices they were selling them at. We got a gorgeous bar cabinet in almost-new condition from the 1920s at an incredible price. The folks at the store are very helpful and did a great job helping us load the cabinet into the car. (They do, however, offer delivery for $50, which I think is quite reasonable when comparing it to other stores like Pottery Barn or Crate and Barrel. We opted to schlep the cabinet ourselves since we were feeling pretty enterprising that day. We then blew the $50 we saved on delivery at Bev Mo to stock it with more liquor!)
If you're looking for one-of-a-kind pieces at great prices, this should be the first furniture store you visit! -

Great furniture, keen prices. These guys know what they're talking about when it comes to real wooden furniture.. mostly sourced from Scotland, shipping over in a container... better than made in China and shipped in a container... well because its recycling right?
There's some funky stuff here and its old, so don't expect pristine items (though some are) - but I'll take their Armoire's at $500 anyday over a generic sad plywood or pressboard POS from Pottery Barn for 2-3X the price! -

In a nutshell - I visited this store based on Yelp reviews. There is a huge selection of antique furniture at great prices. Deirdre, is a knowledgeable salesperson, and she was extremely helpful in our selection process for an armoire. Store has plenty of street parking. I plan on returning for my next major furniture purchase.

Fabulous store, excellent and friendly service and gorgeous furniture. Also, they have delivery people who know how to deal with small SF apartments. Very informative website with good photos of many items. They will hold something for you at no charge while you consider it and they will also do layaway.They usually (maybe always) have some items on half-price sale and they get new stuff in all the time, imported from Scotland. Good value for the price. I haven't actually been in the brick+mortar store, but purchased a fabulous armoire online and everything worked out great.

I love this place. I often come in and just wonder around looking at all the cool antiques from the old world. I'm a big anglophile so the British stuff is always my favorite. I've bought a couple pieces of furniture as gifts but none for myself as I don't have a lot of room. I have however bought quite a lot of their china and bric a brac. I recently bought a cool old porcelain guzunder (chamber pot) that I now use to store extra toilet paper in. The layout is a bit random and part of the store is actually another store (confused?) so you really have to search if you want something specific. It can be dangerous to wander in without a goal in mind as you could leave with 3 or more items you didn't know you wanted. Sometimes the items aren't priced and you have to hope there's one of the owners in the store otherwise the employees won't know what to charge. You really have to nail them down to a price and pay the same day, if they say they will call you back with a price they never do.

Simply put, McCarney's is a treasure for the newly arrived to SF who want to deck out their cool Victorians and Edwardians with vintage furniture. Most of the pieces are late nineteenth and early twentieth century, with lots of cool deco stuff. But the best thing about this place is the PRICES. They are ridiculously reasonable. I got a gorgeous mahogany bed and giant, very unique armoir for under a grand, which for solid-wood, antique furniture seems like a very fair deal in this town. I had checked out all the (very few) shops in the "Deco Ghetto" on Market but found them to be drastically over-priced. Then I stumbled on McCarney's (beware: this is only half of a combined shop, the other of which is a bit more expensive). Seeing that my bed was just sitting on the floor for weeks, it's a good thing I found this place before the dust bunnies started to consume me. But seriously, Deirdre (the owner) is really cool too. She spent a lot of time with me going over the measurements of my apartment to make it all work. And they have a guy who will deliver all the furniture for like $40. It just doesn't get better than this place.

This is a great place to find large and small pieces. Everything is very reasonably priced, the stock changes often, and things are always going on sale to make room for the new shipments. If you get on their email list, you can get coupons and find out when the new shipments are coming in.

Wow, three floors of great stuff and the prices are so reasonable. The owners are cheerful and helpful. Stopped in and found a few things that I liked, took measurements and returned home. One sideboard was a perfect fit. Went back and paid for it and they delivered for $50 four days later. They do layaway if there is something you want to pay for over time. A gem of a store. I will be back.
