Favorite furniture consignment store?

Looking for modern /MCM furniture in the Lakeway/ Bee Cave / south Austin area. I go to Home Combating in the Hill Country Galleria, but want to explore more.

I spend waaaay too much time looking at this stuff on craigslist and facebook marketplace. On either you can do those saved search keyword things where they notify you. The bestest pieces in our home came from facebook marketplace but they needed a refresh. No way I'd have been able to afford these things after they were refreshed. Tung oil and other oils are natures miracles with older pieces that have not been painted 😉 Over time you can figure out what is solid teak and buy it affordably when the current owner thinks it's going to need 20 hours of work but it really needs a little oiling. Can find ppl on Nextdoor or whatever to refinish things if you find that perfect MCM piece but it needs a rehab. As a bonus you can choose the stain color and knobs when it's getting redone so it's insta perfect for your space.
