Yesterday, I was driving northbound along Woodbine Avenue and stopped at a red light at Highway 7…read more I saw a man holding up a sign that was first facing northbound. He finally shifted his stance over to where I was. I was sad to learn that this La-Z-Boy Furniture Galleries store was closing. This store has been a staple at the southeast corner of Woodbine and Highway 7 for at least two decades. It's in a plaza, surrounded by an LCBO and a Longo's. I realize that you pronounce the name as Lazy Boy. However, being Canadian, I have grown up calling it Lay-zed Boy. I still say it to this day. I love La-Z-Boy recliners. When I had enough money to get one, I bought one on sale when I lived in Winnipeg. I worked rotating shift work. Sometimes, I would drift off to sleep watching television in that recliner, with my feet raised. It was so comfortable. It was the perfect place to take a nap and stretch out. It moved with me. It wasn't the lightest piece of furniture, but it was worth getting moving folks to move it for me. It lasted a good decade. It was a good recliner. I haven't had a recliner since. I really should. Now that this store is closing, perhaps it's time to rekindle my love for one. There is plenty of parking at this place. I've never had any issues parking here. I don't know whether all La-Z-Boy locations are closing or if it's just this one in Markham. My next closest location is in Scarborough. I am hoping that it is still kicking around. (219)

I have been on the phone trying to contact anyone who can help me. I finally reached a customer service representative who told me that all of the phones in their Ontario office were down and that she would have someone call me back when they were back up. I have not heard a thing and that was a week ago. Stay away from this company. The products are lovely, but the customer service is awful.

I also purchased two chrome faucets from them but the chrome finish has prematurely peeled off on both of them after normal use. I was very satisfied with the product immediately after the purchase, but the longevity of the product is mediocre. I tried contacting the company via their contact page to inquire on the possibility of purchasing replacement parts from them but I haven't heard back from the company. Since the quality of the products sold from Art Bathe is substandard and their customer service is absent, I recommend staying away from this company and their products.

After interviewing a couple of other designers we chose Stylishomes for our project. We were thrilled with their work from start to finish. They took the time to really get to know our vision, and our aesthetic, before suggesting any designs. The virtual interaction process (remember, this was in the midst of Covid-19 pandemic lockdowns) was thorough and seamless. Our designer - Sanaz - provided us with a range of mood and concept boards to consider. Once we chose the concept we liked, Stylishomes facilitated the ordering of furniture and deliveries. And, when we encountered some issues with one supplier's quality the Stylishome team managed the entire return/refund process on our behalf. It was seamless and stress-free. Very impressive. The icing on the cake was their recommendation of a general contractor who could help us with some kitchen and major lighting renovations. It was clear that Sanaz and Michelle understood our "vibe" and they recommended the perfect contractor for us. The Stylishome team were much more than just a design partner. They were an enc-to-end solutions provider and supporter throughout the process. We can't recommend them highly enough.

We were shocked at the level of detail included. The design was more than we could have wished for. The Company made some great suggestions such as removing the bulkhead to extend the height of the cabinetry, adding more glass door pantry space, an extended countertop for a seating area, a 7' island with under cabinets for more storage and a stunning granite top. They were so professional and prepared all the appropriate paperwork required for the permits required, handled and organized the contractors, electricians, plumbers etc. Every detail was handled taking the stress out of it for us.
