The reason for my review, however, is not about customer service - or maybe it is. I purchased a painting from this group. I like the painting a great deal but when it was sold to me it was stated (as well as on the selling tag) that it was an unsigned work of a specific artist. I took their word for it but am also not naive. I liked the painting and paid a fair price for it. After purchasing the art I was curious if they were being honest so I emailed the artist and asked if it was indeed his work. He said no it was not. I believe that this was a selling tactic of the group and did not appreciate it.

It's all right. Some pieces priced appropriately and others were (imo) a bit overpriced. Well…read moreorganized and clean.

I've noticed a few stores like this in the area and wish that the Bay Area could do this because BC is too far. CON but not really?: they charge a 13% service fee for credit card transaction fees (no cash only credit card store), tissue paper, shopping bags, as well as fees associated with payouts to their vendors so they can keep 100% of their sales

I like to support locals by buying local products if I can. This shop curates items from different…read morelocal artisans and producers. It makes for an eclectic shopping experience. There are jewelry, posters, cards, knitwear, candles, cosmetics, fragrances and more to browse from. What I don't like is they do not give you any receipt at all. It has to be emailed to you. That's data collection which I don't need, especially if it is going to be a one-time purchase. Then at the check out counter, you will see the sign saying they don't charge gst but will impose a 13% service fee. What? Why? That is to cover their operating cost of credit card transaction fee (because they don't accept cash), tissue paper, bags, etc. I find this is not a good business model. I rather they included all these cost into the product price. I rather go direct to the local artisan or their vendor and purchase from them instead of through this middleman. I won't be coming here to make any further purchase even though I like the candles I bought.

But I soon noticed that some of their furniture is really nice, even if the prices are a bit out of my range. I then ventured downstairs and came across a large, solid wood dining room table for only $800. I was thrilled! This was on sale, I think because it had a scratch or two, but I didn't notice anything wrong with it. There were some okay looking lamps and a lot of furniture downstairs. I would definitely get a few pieces of the furniture if I could bring myself to spend a few grand.

Update as of March 30/19:…read more A after posting this review on Facebook, Google and Yelp I was contacted by management at at CF interiors, who promised me they were going to investigate what happened with my sectional. Two days later I was contacted by Kenner, the new warranty manager, who actually came to my home to check out the situation I had been dealing with. He was very empathetic and promised to go back to the owners of both CF and Van Goh to seek a resolution, I have to say I was very skeptical. Within a week I was given an offer from Kenner; Van Gogh would reupholster my sectional in the same grade fabric, at no cost to me and the work would be done in my home! After selecting the fabric we waited about 6 weeks as it was on route from the US, once Van Gogh received it it was cut to the specifications and a date was arranged to have it "installed". Van Gogh was able to reupholster my sectional in one day, in my home, as promised, using a crew of 5 people! Although the new fabric still stretches and wrinkles slightly it has not as noticeable as the previous fabric, it also has a slight pattern in the weave. I am very thankful to Kenner and CF Interiors for reopening this issue after I had basically decided to accept the sectional I originally received, I'm sure it was a lot of conversations with the owners and manufacturer to get this done. I am now happily enjoying my sectional and can say I would recommend CF as they clearly have stood behind their reputation.

The original lady finally told the guy of the same ethnicity as I was (assuming I'm an immigrant) and he promptly spoke in that language. He then asked the odd looks lady and she was scowling and annoyed at me as I explained now for the 3rd time. I did the same thing at WF, HD, and SC (Stores) and none of them behaved that way. All took a normal request and behaved normally as I did. I am not a thief, crazy or requesting something that does not exist. I even found a sample - they could not be BOTHERED to check like Sport Chek and others kindly did for and gave :) Furnishing stores have insane behaviours - they treat customers and employees like thieves or just plain oddly. At least this place and one I worked at Pier 1 do that! ugggghhhh If you are someone who needs help of any kind and a store is unwilling or treats you badly, then why be their future customer? Or, if you are not their customer, but you ask for help why should they not help or treat you right? Favoritism does no one favors.
