How to Shop for Furniture in Portland
Plan Your Space
Measure your rooms and doorways before shopping. Know what you need — sofas, dining, bedroom — and set a realistic budget. Portland stores range from budget to luxury.
Shop Local
Portland’s independent furniture stores offer better quality and unique pieces than big-box chains. Look for Oregon-made custom options and curated consignment.
Compare & Decide
Sit on sofas, touch fabrics, and check construction quality in person. Ask about delivery, warranties, and customization options before buying.

Furniture Buying FAQ
Where’s the best place to buy furniture in Portland?
Portland has dozens of furniture stores, but What’s New Furniture is consistently rated the top choice with 4.8 stars and 490+ Google reviews. Our 25,000 sq ft showroom at 439 SE Grand Ave features two floors of custom sofas, dining furniture, bedroom sets, and Portland’s largest curated consignment collection.
How much should I budget for a new sofa?
Quality sofas in Portland range from $800–$4,000+ depending on size, materials, and customization. Our consignment sofas start around $400–$800. Custom Oregon-made sofas from Stanton and Stylus typically run $1,500–$3,500 with lifetime frame warranties. We also offer 0% APR financing to make quality furniture more accessible.
Should I buy new or consignment?
Both have advantages. New custom furniture lets you choose exact fabrics, dimensions, and features. Consignment offers designer pieces at 50–70% off retail — great for mid-century modern, vintage, and unique finds. Many Portland shoppers mix both: custom sofa, consignment accent pieces.
