National Furniture Liquidators

Discards from San Francisco hotels and corporate offices end up here, where savvy members of the public can buy them cheaply (cash only). A few showrooms in front display one each of what the liquidators may have gotten dozens of: armoires, framed prints, late-'90s TVs (and an occasional flat-screen), sofas, sheets and pillows, mattresses and decoupaged nightstands each containing a Gideon Bible. Curbside delivery is available for a fee, but staff won't move an item into your house. The company also has a store in Oakland, which takes checks and credit cards but charges higher prices.
