Default Canadian made furniture
Hi All,

I’m looking for a Canadian made twin bed, but it seems like covid has taken out some of my usual places in Calgary. Anyone have any recommendations for some quality made wood furniture?

I have a bunch of this company's stuff and it's fantastic. Takes a while to get shipped to you though. Not sure if it comes in twin sizes but I would think they could do it.

What's the price like on their stuff? It looks fantastic, but any site that doesn't list prices always seems like a bad sign

I think they shut down last summer. I remember seeing something about a clearance sale there.

It's not cheap. Somewhat comparable to what you might pay at Crate & Barrel (maybe a bit more, but the quality is better).

Metro Element (Kensington Rd) sells their stuff locally. I just purchased a dining table from them, just waiting on manufacturing/shipping. You can work with them to customize options like colours, finish, etc and get a quote.

Check out Faveris. The one in Winnipeg is the only one left and is next to no one! I am completely biased since my family owns it

I assume the prices are set by their local retailers. I think I ordered it through Home Evolution. Not cheap, obviously, but if you're trying to get Canadian made furniture I'm assuming you're not looking to cheap out.
