Thought it was European but…read morea few of the pieces I was inquiring about actually came from North Carolina and Cali, and she did mention Toronto too as one of their suppliers. You won't find deals nor are they looking for that clientele. those L shaped sofas for $3,500; or a dining room glass set, with white leather booth style seating, also for another $3,500; you get the idea. Very stylish, and there's a reason why they won some type of golden awards for best independent fashion store for past 2 years. Makes Mobler affordable haha! think Yaletown...

Near the back they have a small but stylish furniture section where you can find lots of currently in style stuff to fill your home with. My favourite part of this store has got to be the quite large plant section they have in the back. There is always some new and interesting plants to choose from and the pots/arrangements are stylish and very well done. The price point is pretty good considering the quality of the pottery and plants. Though the store has a slightly higher price point I don't think it's unreasonable considering the uniqueness of some of the items and the quality of the pieces. I would suggest popping in when you are in the neighborhood to give them a little look. I'm sure you will find something you're going to love and will look great in your home :)

Excited about shopping for sectionals I entered Bombast's amazing, sleek and modern looking…read moreshowroom. At first, I was ecstatic, I liked so much of what I was looking and running my hands over. The pieces: stunning. The styles? Well let's just say that I contemplated blowing my perfect credit score over them. I was there for 5-10 minutes. Two people sat at the desk in the back. Neither glanced my way, not even a head nod. I guess I don't look like the sectional buying type, or perhaps it was because I was with a friend and we were chatting... I would have continued to hang around to ask a question or two, but once I realized that the cigarette smoke was circulating because of the two of them, a wave of disgust engulfed me. Outside of the fact that there's a bylaw that prohibits smoking inside businesses in Vancouver, the idea that my furniture would reek when I got it home disgusted me enough to shudder and leave.

Bombast Furniture, located in Vancouver's historic Chinatown district, has a beautiful showroom…read moreakin to your dream living room, should minimalist chic and interesting details fit your description of a perfect living space. Modern living room furniture, from luxuriously upholstered couches and chaise lounges, uniquely built desks, tables and chairs, to new-shag carpets (don't be scared of shag, it can look pretty interesting and this newer version is far less um, dirty looking than its 70's cousin...), Bombast pieces have a vibe all their own. Lighting options include ornately carved floor lamps and Dutch wall light fixtures. I am especially interested in a simply designed bed frame with attached bedside table and optional upholstered back splash on the headboard. I find the pieces here to be very zen in nature with a spark of modern chic. Prices to match!

Do you like baskets? Do you like wicker? Then you will love Cathay Importers!…read more The Cathay store in Chinatown is a labyrinth of wicker baskets in every size and shape imaginable. Just when you think no one could carry this many baskets in one shop, you turn the corner and find a massive back room with, you guessed it, more wicker baskets! Amongst the wicker you will find various home and garden accents from signs and decorations to vases and the like. Plus, everything is totally affordable. Cathay Importers show up at trade and arts and crafts show around the city, so you are bound to find them somewhere close to you. If not, take a trip to Chinatown and peruse. If you can't find the basket you want here, it doesn't exist!

On a whim walking by this store…read moremyself and a couple of friends stopped in for a peek and fell in love with some of their beautiful unique furnishings. Well made items on the higher end in price and finishing, these pieces will last. Unfortunately while downstairs an over the dining room table light that was basically a lit circle with a long skinny lit rod going through it was about to slip off and luckily my gf was there to help try to put it back but had a hell of a time balancing the darn thing! A very rude salesman came running over and raised his voice at her saying "why would you touch that?!" My poor gf tried in disbelief to explain what was happening but the man was so rude he didn't even apologize! We left in disbelief that an employee would react so unprofessionally! I believe that employees are just as important as the brand or company they represent and this was in no way reflective of the beautiful furnishings inside the store. This is why I'm giving them one star. An apology would have been nice.

Every time I walk by I fantasize that I live in this store, and many times I have heard "Sir! ....sir!....

A little hidden gem about this establishment is in the summer they feature their summer collection in an outdoor setting located on the roof. Just take the elevator up to the roof and you will discover a little oasis filled with molded plastic loungers, sun shades, and little gnome stools. Enjoy!

From the start of the ordering process to receiving the products, the customer service was…read moreexcellent. There was a wide variety of products from which to choose, but not overwhelming. I was able to order the custom products exactly as I envisioned, with a choice of wood, finish and size to fit my rooms. Having never ordered custom furniture before, I had no idea about the price, but when comparing with other companies, none of the items seemed overpriced. The items were meticulously wrapped for transportation and arrived on time. The quality of the furniture is evident. Blair even followed up to make sure everything was good. Overall, a great experience.

My lovely solid maple Tangent storage bed was delivered last Thursday afternoon. The delivery…read moreservice was great, no fuss, no muss and the bed was assembled in no time flat. My daughter and I had visited the Vancouver showroom on W 10th at the end of October. Maria took so much time with us explaining how the frame could be customized: I wanted the headboard a little lower, with some of it open to the wall behind it, rather than solid wood right to the top. Nothing was too much trouble. Then she showed us the different wood stains I could choose. Personalized service throughout. Several times later, I emailed questions to her; her answers were prompt and detailed. As promised, the bed was delivered a week ago, early February, as promised. The Coquitlam store also kept me informed on a regular basis of the ETA. I was provided with the contact for the delivery men and they in turn also gave me a window of time for next day's delivery, then called just prior to arrival. Several days after delivery I heard by phone again, to find out if I was happy with everything. I am so happy with the design of the bed, the professional finish on the wood. It suits my bedroom perfectly. The four drawers operate smoothly and provide good storage. After seeing the mattress in the showroom, I had decided to order it, too. It is amazingly comfortable and the total height when on the frame is very manageable for my 5 ft. 2 in. size. Such professional service from beginning to end. N.V.C.
