Vintage Disclaimer:

Home Union sells vintage furniture and lighting. We do our very best to check over and describe the condition of pieces to the best of our ability. We do not offer a warranty, as we haven't manufactured these vintage pieces. Most of our inventory has been made between 30-60 years ago. If something breaks or malfunctions after purchase, Home Union is not responsible for fixing, replacing, or accepting a return.

Sold items MUST be picked up within 14 days of purchase. If additional time is needed, all requests must be coordinated with Home Union and approved. Arrangements can be made to store items for a longer period of time for an additional storage fee. A blanket is suggested for in-store pick ups on furniture or large fragile items. We do not wrap or package oversized furniture. Please bring help if you choose to pick up oversized furniture. We can not load any purchases into your vehicle or assist with loading outside of the store.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: Do you take Amex? A: Sorry we do not accept Amex online at this time. 

Q: Will you get more? Can you get me another one? A: We never know with vintage. Some of these pieces are very rare and we may never find them again. Other pieces we find more frequently, but we still don’t know.

 Q: Can you let me know when you get another one? A: Unfortunately, we have no way of keeping track of who wants what. We get far too many requests for obscure items to keep track of. We do not have a waitlist and we cannot notify you when we get something in. The best way to keep up to date on new stock is to stop in the store and follow along on Instagram.

 Q: Can you add me to the waitlist? A: We do not have a waitlist, it's too tricky!

 Q: How do I purchase on Instagram? A: DM us. Tell us if you want to pay via Venmo or if you prefer an email invoice if the item is not yet in the webstore. If you want an email invoice please send us your name and email address. We do not do holds and the item is sold to the first to pay. If you want something shipped we also need to know prior to purchase. Not all of our items are available for shipping, and we do not know shipping quotes off the top of our heads.

 Q: Do you ship? A: We can ship small items worldwide, buyer pays for shipping and is always wise to receive a shipping quote before purchase. We can ship large oversized furniture within the USA and Canada via white glove shippers. Large furniture shipped international will be crated. To get a furniture shipping quote, please email us with your full shipping address and phone number. Please email for international purchases. 

 Q: Can you do better on price? A: Our prices are firm, but we do offer 5% off if paid in cash to offset our credit card processing fees.

 Q: Can you take a deposit? A: Sorry we do not take deposits, nor do we do holds.
