What people say, in short
Several people recommend Son of a Vet; the shop shown here is the El Sereno shop, which a few people name. One shopper found good mid-century pieces at fair prices plus some low-priced contemporary items, and one says it is strongest for furniture and bigger items, with stock that changes fast enough to make frequent visits worthwhile. One commenter calls it their default place for vintage furniture, and another says the El Sereno shop sells household items from estate clean-outs, mostly glassware. Two people were less impressed: one was very disappointed, and another lists it among stores they visited in a broader complaint that LA thrift shops feel lackluster and pricier.
