This is my absolute favourite furniture place in TO. It's just the right mix of contemporary, well made stuff at middle-of-the road pricing. It's for those that are right in between Ikea and UpCountry.
We have bought our living room furniture (couch and chairs), bedroom set (bed, nightstands, dressers) and kids' rooms furniture there over the years. Everything is perfect and ages well. For a small fee ($75 I think) they will drop off and assemble everything you order. This is totally worth it!
Also, the selection is great and I have had repeated complements on various pieces.
Just recently, we bought our daughter a 'big girl bed' for about $700 and saw it a week later at Bunkhouse on Avenue Road for $1200! They are also willing to negotiate on some pieces. Plus, the basement (recently renovated) has 'as is' and significantly reduced clearance items that are actually decent and not just crap.
The location, as Kat says, is a bit awkward but totally worth the trip to check out this furniture mecca. -

I purchased a chest of drawers. It was a special order due to colour selection.
The saleswoman was extremely helpful, the item was completed well within the estimated time, delivery was prompt and efficient, and I am very pleased with item.
They have a nice selection of furniture in different styles, mostly Canadian made. Prices are in the mid-range.
They are currently renovating their store. As Kat mentioned, they have no sign - I hope they'll put one up when they finish. -

I've bought a junkload of furniture at G.H. Johnson's in the past but today I tried to limit myself to only browsing, and man, it was tough. The store is a massive showroom on Dupont that's easily missable as it has no signage (each time I go at least one person getting out of their parked car asks me if I know where it is).
The showroom is loaded up with gorgeous furniture that would best be suited to a large, roomy space as most of it's pretty big. The kitchen tables are so big they can probably easily seat 12-15 people and they're very rustic looking. Tons of dark brown wood and leather-backed dining chairs. Huge dressers, ornate chaises and bedroom sets - including an ornate goldleaf canopy bed that I've been lemming for months (minus the $2200 price tag). They also have really, really nice mirrors - HUGE ones as well as smaller ones that are unique and beautifully crafted.
You can often find prices drastically reduced by up to 50%, and on this visit I noticed that they were renovating to include a second floor. As a result, all of the bedding was on sale and I must have spent 30 minutes eyeing a velvet tulip duvet cover from the Nygard collection before deciding it'd be easily findable at a better price.
It's a family business that's been around for 60 years and features products from its own designers as well as imports from the U.S., Italy, Malaysia, Indonesia and China. There is no pressure to buy and no salesperson breathing down your neck - you can easily stop in and stroll through the showroom without encountering a single employee. Take your time and sit on the sofas, beds and touch things as you please. It's great for getting home decor ideas, too! -

what you'll find here in it's massive spacious airy warehouse is vast selection of well made fairly priced furniture.
hhhmmmm, but they aren't perfect. you can expect a couple of phone calls to sort out delivery and you may need to follow up as well. but in the end they are very nice, helpful and have an honest approach.
if you have any issues, they will take care of it immediately, with a get it done right attitude. it's almost and old world charm you don't see at most shops.
some how this attitude makes up for some of the other hiccups! we are super happy with our sofa.
