I'm new to home dec, as an adult. Seriously, I was fine for the longest time using my bookcase as a dresser.
I never had to spend extra pennies to 'pull a room together'.
Finally, I'm letting myself go the mainstream route and spend crazy bucks on a look.
They have all sorts of nice and modern furniture. Some looks are rustic, some would fit an ocean, animal, cottage, wine-friendly theme. One piece of art that I liked had the following message: I'm sorry for what I said when I was hungry. Something like that.
Things don't look cheap here. Though I think there are things that look more high-end, like at Rusteak or perhaps CB2, both located nearby.
I'm thrilled that I found a chest-dresser that looked to be strong, but was also on sale. It was still in the hundreds, but at least it wasn't in the thousands.
I like their sales. I like saving, and getting pretty (artistic) or quality items.
Sales staff were nice, although sometimes they weren't sure about details from an online promo, and didn't ask a fellow sales person. Probably, the question didn't come up too often. If it did, I think they would have asked on my behalf.
The advice tended to be good. I learned that normally, to set the finishing touch on a bed, you could place an accent pillow in the middle, and then couple it with a kidney pillow (small, rectangular, good for placing on your neck and bottom of your head).
I liked hearing about the characteristics of the collections - whether an item was solid. For this kind of money, I am banking on using the bedroom set for years to come. Decades, perhaps.
The store is clean. It is a showroom, and normally the items would have to be picked up from their warehouse in Missisauga (45 min. away from the store, depending on traffic), or white-gloved delivered to your home for $99. $99 is the flat rate for any amount of goods - like a bed frame, oversized chair, etc... I don't think this would include small details like pillows, kitchenware, but larger items can be ordered.
White-glove service, means that they deliver it to your home, and bring it to exactly where you'd like it to be placed - including a floor up or down.
I read another trusted Yelper's comments. My eyebrows are unofficially raised - I'm hoping delivery will be straightforward, and not dramatic.
Anyway, in the end, I am looking forward to getting the goods! read more
