What is vintage?
The term vintage relates primarily to wine and is an altered form of the French word vendage, meaning “the grapes picked during a season.” One of its secondary definitions is “a period of origin or manufacture. An item described as ‘vintage’ should speak of the era in which it was produced and can also mean (and probably always should) that the item exhibits the best of a certain quality, or qualities, associated with or belonging to that specific era.
About GUFF Vintage and Custom Furniture:
Guff has built up a loyal following of customers who love both vintage design and a good bargain. Owner John Jakeman believes in ” getting cool stuff to the masses. If you come in and want to spend $300, we have something for $300 – it doesn’t have to be $3000.” Jakemen recently opened up GUFF’s brand-new home in Riverside, and is finally able to do the massive, ever-changing selection of vintage furniture justice.

The larger pieces give GUFF and its bargain pricing a real opportunity to shine. Many of the older items are lovingly refinished (a feat now made easier thanks to their brand-new on-site workshop). Of course, by the time you read this, they might be gone – so it pays to keep checking back. “The one thing that a lot of people say about our store is that they come every week, because they know it looks different every week,” Jakeman says. “It’ll never look the same two weeks in a row. That is definitely our business model – is to get it in here, move it, price it better than anyone else, sell it, and on to the next thing.”
