Where do you shop for furniture?!

[surferguy]

I am partial to F2 Furnishings on 11th. I find Revolve looks nice but isn't the best quality.

Re: Kijiji - I have a rule that anything with a soft surface should not be sourced from Kijiji.

Wait for a few more weeks and you can ho-ho-hold the payments until 2018 or so.....

+1 on Bracko. Pretty much my whole house is furnished from there. The nice thing about buying high quality is you only have to do it once. The Brick's stuff is garbage and poor value.

IKEA is awesome if you are on a budget and for some stuff even if you're not. Our bedroom suite is from there and is about 9 years old and I still love it. We looked everywhere and were willing to invest quite a bit to have a set that would last our whole lives. Turns out we found it at IKEA for 1/5 the price of the other stores we were looking at and we liked it better.

For pure comfort, La-Z-Boy is my favourite, but the quality isn't awesome and they start to look worn before they should imo. Still, for how comfortable their stuff is I can live with replacing it five years before I think I should have to.

Ikea is good, but depends what it is. Their office furnishings are good. For other items just make sure it's pine - their pine furniture is really nice and affordable.

The Brick really isn't a furniture company. It's more of a financing company that gives you furniture when you sign up.

There are quite a few decent stores in inglewood that have some surprising pieces that have some design to them at good prices.

That's only because you sell your stuff there! J/K - I bought my dining room table and chairs there (F2) as well as a bench and some bar stools. Pretty happy with the purchases and the pricing for quality, although one of the stools is a little defective, but that's my problem, I never bothered to take it back.

My wife and I like a very contemporary, almost European aesthetic so most of our stuff is EQ3, the better IKEA stuff thicker stuff like Malm bed frames and the high gloss finish desks and cabinets for office, and F2. I could theoretically spend a bit more, but I'm too cheap. If you're not and you like the really modern stuff you can check out Limitless in Inglewood, or Bmoderne down near Sojourn, Trail, etc. In Deerfoot Meadows.

Also agree that revolve is a little cheaper quality for similar price.

That has nothing to do with it...

That said I do like the quality of the gear they have and they really promote Canadian made products

I like the Consignment Gallery. High end used stuff.

+1 for Bracko Brothers, although I'd put them in the "good quality, reasonable price" category rather than the "inexpensive" one. If you're trying to furnish a home on the cheap, hit up Ikea. Yes, it's mass-produced and unimaginative, but some of it actually looks OK and lasts a surprisingly long time for what it costs. I still have more Ikea furniture in my home than I would care to admit - we have young kids and it simply isn't worth spending a ton of money on high-end furniture until they get a little older or it will just get destroyed. The Ikea stuff has held up remarkably well, and it's cheap enough that nobody cries when it finally gives up the ghost.

Another vote for Ashley or leon's. Biggest selection with comfortable furniture. None of that weird modern stuff that nobody will use.

Cricklewood near Chinook Center.

[Regorium]

Just furnished out my place that was completely empty and I found that sears and leons were the two stores that surprised me the most with some of the choices and styles.

Eq3 and some of the other boutiques are pretty standard - nicer stuff for higher price.

Second the brick being brutal. Had a terrible customer service experience with them. I'm also not that high on ikea anymore, it feels like their prices have risen, but the quality and design haven't improved.
