As manager of Rico, I feel compelled to respond to BrooklynForever's scathing comment, if not just to say dude, what's your problem?
Did we do something to personally offend you? Lay off the hate man. Your comment is absurdly uninformed. If you had any idea of the amount of work and love that goes into running this store you would be ashamed of your comment. Rico Espinet, the owner, DOES in fact design his own lights at this store which Robert Abbey manufactures. If you had done one ounce of research or perhaps bothered to ask one of the sales assistants we could have educated you before you posted your ignorant comment.
We do not carry any lacquered credenzas from the West Coast, so you made that up too.
Finally, we have never claimed to sell vintage modern furniture, but this look-a-like "junk" you seem to be referring to is made by Thayer Coggin, one of the most esteemed brands in the industry that has been making modern style furniture since 1953.
The positive comments on this site were made by satisfied customers who have actually worked with the employees of this store and made informed purchases.
I'm also curious as to which vintage modern stores you shop where you find product at a fraction of the price we offer our goods for. I've been to every store on our block (that we are somehow ruining) and these store are comparable if not more expensive than us.
I'm once again appalled by the negative energy put out on the internet. BrooklynForever, was it really necessary to slander a local, family owned and operated store whose owner cares more about pleasing customers than the bottom line? At least do a lick of research before subjecting the Apartment Therapy community to your ingenuous comments. shoprico on Aug 22, 2008
What a JOKE !
Are all these glowing reviews paid for by RICO?
Atlantic Ave. Is changing we all know this.....less and less antique stores by the year, but come on!!!! Have any of you ever been in this snobby over priced pseudo "modern" store?
Over priced crap lacquered credenzas from the west coast, a shit Robert Abbey lighting line that everybody in the neighborhood seems to think RICO designs himself !?!?!?!?
Over priced look-a-like junk that is supposed to pass for vintage modern.
Skip it and go to a real vintage modern store and buy something with some character.....maybe even some history for a fraction of the cost.
It's stores like this that will eventually put an end to what made Atlantic Ave. a destination for people from all boroughs to come furniture shopping. BrooklynForever on Jul 19, 2008
