Between empty-nesters and millennials, furniture resellers see opportunity

When Amy Keyser’s mom suggested that she check out consignment shops to furnish a 1951 house Keyser bought last year, her response was “What’s that?”

Keyser, 39, of Minneapolis, shopped at Pottery Barn and Ikea but decided their furniture “didn’t look quite right in my house.” Taking her mom’s suggestion, she checked out Covet Consign & Design in south Minneapolis.

“It was love at first sight,” Keyser said. “They had furniture that fit my house and my style.”
