Looking for funky retro furniture

Submitted by ___shoe___ t3_110k3id in springfieldMO

My soon-to-be roommate and I are about to get our first apartment and are going to need to go furniture shopping soon. We both have pretty retro tastes — mid-century modern, 60s, and 70s furniture is very our style, as well as anything with bright vibrant colors.

Does anybody know any used furniture stores with stuff like this? We’re willing to travel decently far out of town if there’s something worth checking out.

Hakaar’s Bazar is the only correct answer. It’s an antique store on Commercial street that ONLY deals mid century stuff

Go to hakaars on commercial if you're down for resell prices. What I personally like to do is beat them to the punch and go to estate sales.

Another vote for Hakaar’s

But also - they are expensive because they curate and only have the best pieces

If you are on a budget I recommend watching auctionzip and EstateSales.net - I have gotten some awesome mid century pieces this way and also at garage sales or church rummage sales

It’s a bit of a grind to check local thrift and “antique malls” but you can sometimes find good value there as well

Also don’t discount the old Facebook marketplace

Good luck!

If you don't mind a road trip there are a lot of mid century furniture resale stores in KC

There’s a place on the square in Marshfield, but I don’t know what it’s called. Bissman furniture was built here in Springfield, so it’s most abundant vs Haywood Wakefield.

Hey! Shameless self plug, I sell vintage and I specialize in funky/colorful from the 60s-70s. I have a couple pieces I haven’t even listed yet including a 1969 teal and lime green tweed sleeper sofa for $250. I also have a booth and an Instagram but I’m not sure if I’m allowed to post it so PM me if you’d like that info.
