anybody recommend a furniture store

[calgary350z]

looking to buy a bunch of stuff and wondering if somebody on here knows of a decent quality store that i could negotiate a fair price. not paying 15k for a leather sectional from restoration hardware or crate and barrel.

I need a leather sectional, love seat, armchair, new bedroom set and bunch of lamps.

doing a refresh at home on a bunch of things including this furniture.

Depends what sort of style you want, price you'll pay, and quality you expect. Just head to the Heritage/Deerfoot Meadows area and bounce around all the furniture spots, such as:

Urban Barn, Nordesign, Revolve, Ashley, EQ3, Ikea, Lazyboy, Sears, Leons, The Brick, etc.

We're doing the same and was looking around this weekend and found some really nice stuff at Perfect Home and The Other Room

Sorry I guess I should have been more clear to what I was looking for. Usually when you post on Beyond someone has a guy or favourite place that hooks them up. I usually have a guy or gal for most things but not for furniture.

I work retail and can't stomach paying tag price on anything. Margins are quite high on furniture from what a few of my previous hookups told me. They just don't work in the industry anymore.

Eq3 has been decent for us in the past so looks i might be heading back there.

REVOLVE....no...just no....never buy from that over priced importer of Chinese shit.

I'm a big fan of west elm, but you're right about the markup - never buy full price there, ever. 30% off should be easy to find.

Showhome Furniture in Deerfoot Mall is moving so they may have some good deals.

I really like Nordesign too.

Metro Element in Kensington. Family run with ability to get package deals. Baldwin the owner knows his stuff. Google it they have a website.

Just went through this process.

West Elm, nice stuff - Absolutely Garbage service.

In the end, Pottery Barn was the best

I've said it before but if you see a sofa you like see who the manufacturer is. GO online and see who all the reps are for the area. There are a couple things you can do from there.

Sometimes you can buy direct from the manufacturer. You save a shit load. Other times if there are multiple companies in the city carrying the same product, you can use that against them in getting a reduced price.

I just bought a bedroom set from Prestige Solid Wood.

Looks and feels amazing, but you pay for it. Also, lead time is about 8 weeks.

Got an incredible bedroom suite and sectional sofa from Perfect Home Furnishings. Very pleased with the prices too. I plan to stick with them for a new dining room set. If you're lucky enough to get Maurice you'll really enjoy his help, he's a funny old dude.
