Assuming you have the consignment agreement you then draft a letter to the furniture consignment store demanding payment of the items sold for you by a certain date. Keep a copy of the letter for future use and need.

If the due date for payment comes and goes without you being paid, go down to your county court house (civil department) and ask the court clerk for a small claims complaint form. Fill it out, date, sign it, pay your fee, get copies and have the defendant store served with the summons and complaint by a process server.
