A fun store to browse in and they had no problem with me bringing my dog in.  I purchased my patio set and my coffee table here.  I had to assemble the coffee table, which I don't like at this price range.  Lots of interesting stuff.  If I had any…More »

A couple of years ago I replaced all my furniture and bought two chaises, two stools, a table, and a display shelf from De Boers.  The salesperson was excellent and I left the store very satisfied.  All the pieces had to be ordered (even the floor…More »

Very helpful in explaining what type of paint is needed in what room.  Also the difference between the different qualities of paint.  They even gave me a discount because I was using a painter.  They store your colour on file so you can get more…More »

A tiny little furniture store.  I frequently walk by and will pop in to take a quick look.  The only purchase I have ever made is a rug for my front hallway.  Very expensive at $85 but looks great and fits my irregular space.

A huge selection of lights and fantastic customer service.  No pushy sales tactics here.  I asked a bunch of questions and boy did they know what they were talking about (in fact I even learned a few things about ceiling fans).  Saw the lamp I bought…More »

This store is an interesting place to check out trendy stuff for your house.  Mostly for the bathroom and kitchen as another reviewer noted.  I think it is a fun store but kind of pricey for what they sell.  Also, I bought one of their soap…More »
