We enlisted Provide for their design and home decorating services and we have not looked back since. After they were done, I can honestly say that our home looks fanEFFingtastic! Our home is now stylish and comfy, warm and inviting. They did the most spectacular job and I would refer them to anyone I know. Their rates are fair and reasonable too and they go above and beyond the call to make sure you are happy. They still have beautiful home stuff in their store too. I LOVE THIS PLACE!

And that's why I was surprised to find a quasi-furnishings store I actually liked. Granted, Provide in Crosstown carries more than just fixtures and accessories for your abode. Among the designer espresso makers are some pretty fashionable clothing items, which, for me, broke up the monotony of the selection of housewares (lamps, vases, tables, cushions, etc.). Someone must have had people like me in mind when they came up with the concept for this store. On to the fashion! I found some beautiful (although pretty high-end) tees by designer James Perse as well as some local style, like Vancouver's own Shereen De Rousseau's gorgeous cross-platform jewellery.

Nothing too wow. But its interesting to look at. I mean its modern to go inside. But unless you…read morereally need to redesign your house then yeah maybe it would make sense to shop here.

This is perhaps the most jumbled and frenzied of all the Kitchen Corners I've visited (those being…read morethe other location on 4th, and two on Commercial). It also has the biggest kitsch factor. Most recently I found my favorite discovery yet: Styrofoam heads. But I've also bought a tray, plant soil, fabric dye, a random vase and a cutting board here. The glue in the latter unstuck after a year, yet the damage is mendable. The staff is always helpful and candle selection here is fragrant and varied. In addition to the street level madness (and the sidewalk boxes), there is also a basement level filled with plant pots and soil. Kitchen Corner was the only spot I could find soil in February in order to re-pot one of my ailing houseplants. The prices aren't really bargains, but the selection is quirky and gives that garage-sale feel without that coating of yard-sale crud.

There are a ton of food options, small shops, drinks, and random entertainment. While walking through, we saw a magician and an acoustic guitar performer. A lot of the shops we stopped at had quick and efficient service, they must be used to the crowds. My only regret was not being able to fit all of the different foods I wanted to try! If you're visiting with a small party or have a small appetite, definitely look up the different options prior to selecting something. (:

I'm trying to be nice here, and these two stars are me being generous…read more My boyfriend purchased a $10 lamp at a thrift store and came home very pleased with his find. I was pleased too, you see, because our apartment lacks overhead light fixtures so it's the more lamps the better as far as I'm concerned. But we soon discovered that the lamp required a strange four-point bulb not easily available. We tried a couple of shops, drew diagrams of what we needed, etc. but each time failed to find the right bulb. Meandering on Broadway one day I stopped into Kits Lighting thinking this specialty lighting shop could solve my problems. I'd finally figured out that I needed a 55W 2D bulb and thought, since I knew the specific name of what I was looking for and wouldn't be drawing more pictures on napkins, I'd be picking one up here in no time. I walked into the store and after a long moment the clerk acknowledged me. I stated that I was looking for a 55W 2D light bulb and he proceeded to carelessly look on a shelf or two and then hold up sample products. None were the bulb I'd asked for. Finally he said he couldn't help me. "Can't you special order it?" I say. "No, try Home Hardware," he replies. Seriously? I went home and Googled the bulb: I can order it online for $16. Shopping local is great, but the big bad Internet wins this one.

The owner tested them in the store to make sure they worked and gave me a deal for two, but when we went home they didn't work - worse, my partner smashed one trying to get it back out of the track (lol not our day). I went back to the store, told him the story and he offered to come over to our place after he closed. The ones we had purchased hadn't worked as we had thought, but he also had brought another model and it worked!!! The best part - he gave us two free of charge/exchange even though we smashed one! Exceptional service and he's retiring in a year, so hurry down ;-)

I've shopped at Briers for years. I have admittedly never loved the in-store staff (too much fake…read moreenthusiasm & hovering, minus great product knowledge) but keep returning since the products are great & the furniture is definitely my style. But all of that aside, the delivery & customer service reps (Dave & Frank) make up for that & then some!! I had recently purchased a dining table that arrived damaged. I contacted the store right away but expected a hassle & long wait for a replacement. Not only did Dave immediately order the replacement, but he kept me updated along the way & did everything he could to make sure it arrived quickly. The guys delivered to me late on a Friday (I was otherwise at work) & they did it with smiles on their faces, genuine enthusiasm for their work, & made it their mission to ensure I was satisfied before they left. They even offered to help me put together furniture that had just arrived from a different store! I can't say enough good things about their service...if you ever have any problems at Briers just give Dave a call and I'm confident he will sort you out :)

I had a mixed experience. I purchased a fairly expensive couch on layaway. I really appreciated…read morehaving that payment option. Through this experience though, I learned that it would have been a good idea for me to ask them not to cover the couch with fabric until closer to the final payment. I realized that the original colour chosen would not work as well as I originally thought. I asked if I could change it and pay for the added cost. They were a firm no. So now I have a couch that I paid a lot of money for and it is alright in the space but not great. The quality is very good and I am happy with that. I wasn't happy that the sales staff did not inform me of added costs at the time of purchase such as delivery and unpacking the item. So, that wasn't appreciated. However, the delivery guys were AMAZING! "David the Great" and "Guy the Beautiful" who does charming poses were so helpful, funny, friendly and went the extra mile. They provided great customer service and redeemed my experience with this retailer. After all this, I'm not sure that I will buy from Brier's again. I feel somewhat disappointed with the couch and wish I had waited on choosing the fabric, though I'm not sure if that would've been an option.
