The store was previously located at 14th and T St, NW (now occupied by Taylor Gourmet). It’s the second vintage furniture store once located on bustling 14th to move to a new area and then close up. Hunted House went through a similar evolution. On the up side, Ruff & Ready plans to maintain on online business with well priced vintage, antique and used furniture.

A reader reports around 7am:

“Three hours before opening, the line is already around the building. Slightly embarrassed to say I am one of them… The good news is there is free food and drink for everyone!

Also, just found out the people next to me in line came all the way from Ohio just for this. They left late last night, arrived at 3 a.m., and slept in the car in a parking garage. Didn’t know it was such a thing, but I guess they have been to numerous openings around the country.”

Peek inside here and check out the planned festivities here.

Update from a reader – A Marching band has arrived:
