What's New Furniture sells mid-century modern furniture three ways: new mid-century-style pieces (most of this collection), Stanton (Made in Oregon) and Stylus (Pacific Northwest) sofas in mid-century frames that we can order in your fabric, and consigned pieces, listed in Newest Consignments. In the 12 months to October 18, 2026, we sold 151 consigned listings titled mid-century, about three a week. For how to check a vintage piece and how to consign yours, see our mid-century buying guide.

New, Custom & Consigned MCM
Our mid-century modern collection mixes three kinds of pieces:
New MCM furniture: Current-production pieces from New Pacific Direct and other makers. Check each product page for its materials, such as solid wood, rattan or steel.
Custom MCM sofas & sectionals: Stanton builds custom sofas to order. Choose a mid-century frame and your fabric, and expect a build time that typically runs 4 to 14 weeks depending on the maker. Rowe and Stylus also offer MCM-inspired custom frames.
Consigned & vintage MCM: Mid-century pieces that our team approves for the floor. Browse our newest arrivals, since vintage MCM comes and goes fast.
Why MCM Furniture Works in Portland
Portland has plenty of mid-century homes, from Rummer ranches in the suburbs to split-levels throughout SE and NE. Mid-century style suits those homes, and that gives furniture shoppers two things to keep in mind:
-
Your home was probably built for it. Low horizontal furniture, warm wood tones, and organic shapes fit the proportions and sight lines of Portland's housing stock better than oversized contemporary pieces.
-
Local pieces turn up. Consignment brings mid-century pieces from local homes, and they come and go fast, so check the consignment pages often.
MCM Buying Guide
Know the era. True mid-century modern spans roughly 1945–1969. If you want period pieces, look for construction details: solid wood (not MDF), dovetail joints, manufacturer labels, and hand-finished surfaces.
Mix eras intentionally. You don't need an all-MCM room. Try a vintage walnut credenza next to a contemporary sofa, or an MCM coffee table under a modern pendant light. Mixing periods keeps the room from feeling like a museum. The rule: keep the wood tones and scale consistent.
Check the legs. Tapered legs are the signature MCM detail. They should be solid wood (not hollow), securely attached (not wobbly), and finished to match the case. On consigned pieces, leg condition is the first thing to inspect.
Invest in the anchor pieces. A quality MCM sofa or dining table sets the tone for the entire room. Fill in around it with smaller finds, such as a consigned coffee table, a vintage accent chair, or a new set of dining chairs.
Frequently Asked Questions
What woods are common in mid-century furniture?
Walnut, teak, and oak are the classic mid-century woods. Walnut runs darker and richer, teak is warm and golden, and oak is lighter. Keep the tones in a room within the same family so the pieces look like they belong together.
Is mid-century modern furniture still in style?
Yes. Its clean lines and warm materials complement contemporary, Scandinavian, boho, and even traditional interiors.
Can I order custom mid-century modern furniture?
Yes. Stanton, Stylus, and Rowe all offer MCM-inspired frames, and you choose the fabric. Custom orders follow the maker's build time, typically 4 to 14 weeks.
Do you have vintage mid-century furniture?
Yes. Our consignment program brings in vintage MCM pieces, and they come and go fast, so check back often.
How do I care for mid-century wood furniture?
Keep it out of direct sun, which can fade walnut and teak, and use coasters and felt pads. Wipe it with a soft dry cloth and use a wood-safe polish sparingly.
