If you want to find quality, contemporary furniture at bargain prices, you are going to have to be willing to hunt for it. At the Kasala Outlet (in the warehouses just East of Safeco) you may just get lucky. We've gotten lucky several times - custom made glass and wood Italian coffee table $150, beautiful wool Italian rugs $200 a piece. We try to look about once a month just to see what is new. Sometimes people order something and it isn't what they want (like our coffee table) or they retire floor samples when new stock comes in (like our rugs) or a line gets discontinued. Whatever the reason, it will show up in the outlet in SODO. Even if you don't find exactly what you want the first visit, it is worth your while to keep checking back.

There are a ton of great things to find here. The selection is fun and there is always something new to find. Helpful staff, affordable as an option. My girlfriend loves the place and we go often! I would recommend this to anyone looking for a fun, different option in the retail sales market. Give it a try.

In our house, you will find a futon sofa-bed, a queen-sized bed, a chair, a coffee-table, several lamps, picture frames and a hutch, all purchased from Comfort by Akiko. We like to buy locally when we can, and Akiko’s boutique offers all sorts of items that enhance our home. Over the years, we have become friends with Akiko, much as one might be able to do so in a smaller town than Seattle. While parking is always an issue in the Capitol Hill neighborhood, there is a 30 minute load zone in front of the store that opens up regularly.

I am a total sucker for interior design magazines. I love Elle Decor (US, UK, and France), Home and Garden, O Home, Domino, Dwell and lots of others that I just can't go into right now.
I have a modest bungalow and my taste runs more to 40-50's vintage and girly rather than modern and if I could afford to, I'd by all my furniture here. This is where you'll find antique French chairs in fuscia silk upholostery or a perfect Robin's Egg blue sofa. The "to the trade" fabrics that you never get to see? They're here, but only the best and most exciting ones. There is always a perfect mix of more ornate and more sleek peices and if you can't find that new motif you're seeing in your favorite design magazines, try this place.
There is also a great collection of design and fashion books and nice little gifts (that I CAN afford).

More
From what I've heard, other antique dealers will visit this place on Tuesdays (after the weekend buying trips) to find things to sell at a much higher price at their stores.
What you'll find here is about a quarter junky contemporary stuff, half vintage furniture that needs some TLC but is very reasonably priced and about a quarter "better" antiques.
If you find something you love, they'll delivery it for a small fee and they're always pleasant to work with.

More
With modern furniture design at an affordable price and a hip location to boot, Area 51 has found its niche. Its market consists of those who have moved on from IKEA and want products that are a little more distinctive, but who aren't willing to pay high-end prices. One can find new and used products here, ranging from Dwell bedding to the occasional Eero Aarnio Ball Chair as well as modern sofas, tables and rugs.
However, where Area 51 provides in product selection, it takes away in service. This change has happened recently because when it first opened, the service was outstanding. Two years ago, I purchased a chair from this store and got a great deal on it, as the owner knocked the price down significantly because the product had a negligible defect. Naturally, this kind of situation promotes repeat business.
Yet, subsequent trips to Area 51 have proved its service completely inadequate. Last time I visited the store, which was about a month ago, I was looking for a specific type of bookcase. The employee was extremely unhelpful and would not even come up with alternative ideas on where I could find something similar; he just said, "We don't carry anything like that", and turned around. That's deplorable and it's why I'll be taking my business elsewhere.
Unfortunately, the lack of options in this market make Area 51 just about the only place to go for affordable, non-mass produced design in Seattle. If anyone wants a money making idea, open a store similar to Area 51 and provide better service, which isn't hard to do.

Housewares and Apparel Emporium

More
I haunt this place on a regular basis because the assortment of housewares and women's apparel changes as fast as Paris Hilton changes cell phone numbers.
The best season for apparel is fall-slash-winter-spring, for reasons having to do with how long our gray season is. The sheer volume of merchandise can be staggering...and a boon to your wardrobe.
Summer is tougher. People tend to hold onto summer clothes (due to the limited opportunities to wear them) so what comes into CC can be dated (read: old). But if you are looking for khaki shorts or tank tops, you'll find them.
Prices used to be fabulous, but now they are just reasonable. Skirts (Talbots, Banana Republic, Ann Taylor) hover in the $16.00-$20.00 range. T-shirts (Banana republic, J. Crew, The Gap)are offered between $14.00 and $19.00. Blue jeans (Gap, Halogen, CK) are about $20.00.
Apparel is organized by type (pants, tops, sweaters,) and then by color. An new manager has an eye for merchandising which makes shopping a pleasure.
The housewares selection ranges from media cabinets to demitasse cups.

More
Dixon's Used Furniture is a fairly large used furniture store. Every inch of the place is jam packed with used furniture (items include dressers, couches, chairs, bed frames, dining sets).
Items are over priced and you will find better deals on craigslist or yard sale. The couches I saw were stained and still had a $300 price tag.
The shop does have some new items such as bar stools and lamps. Both which I saw were reasonably priced although not of the best quality.
You might be able to find a good deal in this store but I doubt it.
