Testimonials_

"We love doing business with Kevin. Not only does he have a great eye for design - he gets to know you, your individual tastes and budget; then he finds the piece you want, to your specifications! He's even located some perfect items for us in very difficult to find sizes. And we love the quality and the beauty of each piece he chooses. Without Kevin, furnishing our new condo would take far longer and be much less pleasant. To top it off he provides top notch customer service and reliability. It's so refreshing to work with someone who takes pride in his service. Kevin is a cut above the rest and he'll remain our first choice whenever we're looking for furniture!"

I will continue to stalk his blog and purchase from him as long as he is selling!"

"I purchased the Kent Coffey Perspective Series Chest from Hot Coffee! last week. It's even more amazing in person than it was online! And it was delivered at no extra cost to my apartment only days later! Kevin was an amazing help from the very beginning and was extremely knowledgeable about the wood and proper care to keep the chest in its very best condition. I would definitely purchase another mid century piece from Kevin again if the opportunity arose!"

Kevin Groff_Winebow, Inc

"I could not be happier! I had previously tried to buy a Lane dresser from Kevin, but another customer was faster than me. Kevin kept in touch and found me another promptly. I can't wait to buy more, fantastic pieces, and fantastic customer service. Thanks again Kevin!"

Mark_Lane dresser

"I just got a bedroom set from Hot Coffee! and the owner, Kevin, was amazing to work with. If you are into vintage, mid century furniture check this place out first. Kevin was helpful, and worked with me on pricing. He also delivers for free! E-mail him and he will get back to you right away! Happy decorating!"

Katie_Bedroom set

"We bought a pair of matching Lane dressers from Hot Coffee! and the restoration is absolutely beautiful. The care and attention to detail Kevin puts into every square inch of each piece is just amazing. He also excels at squeezing large furniture into small cars, up narrow stairs, and around tight corners. He went above and beyond in helping us move the dressers from his studio and into our home. He also gave us a tutorial on maintenance, and even called after he left to make sure we didn't have any trouble putting the drawers back in. Plus, the dressers were in antique store condition for a craigslist price. We will definitely be coming back to Kevin again when we are ready for another piece."

Melissa_Lane dresser set

Thanks Kevin!"

Tom and Aneta_Danish Magazine table

"We'd been looking for the right dressers for awhile - when we found Kevin's we were interested but wary from past experiences with things not being what they seemed on the web.
