Being the owner of a smallish house, I've come to embrace mid-century modern styling, which makes my little bungalow appear a bit more spacious. However, I'm also a Very Lazy Shopper who just wants to get what she needs and be done with it. I've never been the type to hunt for items so vintage stores have never really been my jam.
I'd had my eye on a West Elm sideboard but the buying process turned out to be a disaster.
But I digress. Let's talk about City Issue.
I gave up on WE and started poking around the online inventory of Atlanta's many vintage shops. I

My dad had an antique store when I was growing up, I have spent lots of time in antique stores/flea markets/etc. City Issue is really at a different level without all the pretension that usually comes along with that. I've bought some of my favorite pieces at this store, things I know I will keep [as opposed to the things I've bought at C&B or WestElm that feel a little more disposable]. It's all legit, well made, in great shape. The staff are really helpful and not pushy. I go there often to browse around because the inventory changes often.

This store had some of the most beautiful mid century modern furniture I've seen in my life. I almost felt like I was in a gallery because there were so many beautiful pieces to admire. Right off the belt line, around the corner from several great restaurants, I would say there's not a lot of parking- we ended up stopping in after eating lunch, so we were parked in a lot for our restaurant.
I ended up getting a Catherine Holm enamel pot for $16, which I thought was a very fair deal!

Y// Maryland Dan. OMG can't breathe cuz I love the furniture here, OMG can't breathe cuz the prices are out of this atmosphere.
It's like a retro vintage furniture MUSEUM. Loved to look.
Service was off putting. Person was sitting in a lounge chair and just talking to another couple and didn't even say hi or acknowledge us. That's ok cuz we got to look around without being bothered or followed.
Beware also -parking is a struggle here. (Read: no parking except street parking and illegally parking in the kale and co parking lot in a pinch.

This is one of those stores that I waffle on. I have bought a couple of things here.
1. Old Teak Coffee Table. It was stamped by the original manufacturer and the price on it was decent. Had some damage underneath it they pretended not to notice when they priced it. Few scratches on top that could be sanded out. They let me haggle with them a little on the price. Thought it a decent buy but nothing spectacular from a pricing perspective even though they had marked it down because it had been sitting on their floor for so long.
2. Fold out Desk, rosewood veneer and poplar: Scandanavian unit

City Issue is pretty much one of the most fabulous stores around. I get happy just walking in here and browsing, but I get REALLY happy when I find someone the perfect gift here, which happens often.
My boyfriend and I are working on building a really stylish bar - and so I stalk the glassware here - the coupes, ball glasses, martini shakers, sets of cordials - I can't get enough!
I adore the art, the furniture, and the owners here are so wonderful at helping you find the perfect thing. I follow them on facebook now and I like seeing the new things there.

J and I, wanting to make the most of a house that we bought for its entertaining space but haven't even purchased seating space to entertain, have finally hired a designer to help us out. She pointed us in the direction of City Issue.
She showed me some cabinets on the website (which were actually on sale!) and said they fit the aesthetic we were thinking, she would get them for us. When she went to the store, there was a small detail that she wanted us to see in person, so she asked us to visit ourselves, and take a look at a set of chairs in the mean time.
The cabinets were all right

Funky, fierce, fabulous!
This is a fantastic store that specializes in mid century modern, "Danish modern" furniture and home accessories that is vintage but in nice condition. Rugs, teak accesories, lighting, seating, coffee and end tables, credenzas, dining tables and seats galore! I LOVE this store!
It's not cheap but you can count on this furiture being quality, unlike most of its present counterparts. If you think this place is expensive, you clearly haven't been to Cantoni or Room & Board, which are much higher priced.
Go visit City Issue, you won't be disappointed

This mid-centiry modern store is an absolute gem. Many have commented on their prices, but I think some perspective is warranted. The things in this store are real, are fully restored, and are built to last. The 1950's and '60's equivalents of Ikea and Rooms to Go didn't last long enough to make it to city issue. In other words, the same quality costs a lot more brand new.
I get excited about this kind of stuff. I don't know where these guys find their inventory, but they know what they are doing. Even if you don't want to buy furniture, even if you are not

Walking into City Issue two things instantly happen to me. The first is I get excited about all of the exquisite mid century furniture. I moonlight by finding mostly mid centruy, danish modern, and retro furniture but rarely do I ever see much less find for sale examples like the ones they have here. Second, I figure out exactly how much I can spend before depleating my wallet entirely.
They absolutely pay attention to detail here. Of course there are ways to hide dings and damage to vintage furniture. I do feel the good folks at CIty Issue do a fantastic job at stocking only the finest of finds

When it comes to modern furniture City Issue is my kind of style. Just about everything in here I could see in my place, from the vintage TV to the awesome chaise lounges.
It's definitely not cheap, but this style of furniture is extremely popular, so they know they can charge for it.
If you're into 50s and 60s designer furniture than you've found your mecca in Atlanta!
They'd have 5 stars if they were a bit more affordable!

If I didn't just go broke buying my first home, a mid-century modern gem, I would definitely fill it all with furniture from City Issue. They are the place to go if you're looking for mid-century and Danish modern furniture impeccable shape. Pretty much every piece in the shop has been restored. The prices are a bit expensive, at least compared to Ikea stuff. But it's good solid furniture.
Definitely sign up for their email updates to know when new pieces arrive at the store or for upcoming sales.

Like mid-century style and Danish Modern furnishings? Then you'll love City Issue. A utopia of clean lines, fresh colors, and quirky accessories; some new, some authentically vintage. No matter, I loved it all.
Pretty much everything was living room ready, I saw very little, if any, bedroom or patio furniture. Things were for the most part pretty reasonably priced: this isn't thrift at all, everything is in impeccable condition. Definitely stop in here if you're looking for that perfect statement piece, whether it's a huge credenza to replace those run of the mill entertainment

One of Atlanta's first mid-century modern stores, City Issue opened in 2001 and quickly caught the eye of the Garden Hills cinema crowd. At least that's how I discovered it! Continues to have a penchant for affordable, interesting gifts in addition to the vintage furniture and houseware inventory. A few years ago, one of the owners departed to open Victory Vintage in Decatur, but City Issue remains a true gem. Pristine artifacts from Eames to Herman Miller to Knoll, plus vintage light fixtures, rugs, bookshelves and more. A well-appointed store with a constant turnover of inventory
