We were selling our place near Commercial Drive and I contacted Home Reworks (and another business)…read morefor a quote. Kim and Jane dropped by, took a look at what we had, suggested what to get rid of (declutter) and prepared a competitive quote that involved renting some of their things and using our things to best advantage. Gosh I wish we'd hired them when we BOUGHT this place. I love how they arranged our furniture and filled it in with their pieces. The place looked amazing and worked so well from a traffic flow point of view. What we didn't anticipate was just how beautiful everything would look in photos. That is where their true genius lies. They know how to accessorize in a way that looked amazing in the real estate photos. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! Wish I could hire them in the next city we will be moving into. Has caused me to have a LOT of respect for what interior decorators can do! YAY HOME REWORKS! (Oh, and our house sold at almost 10% over asking).

We originally stumbled upon its sister store in Seattle to learn that there is one in Vancouver…read more We had been looking for an "arc" floor lamp with a large swing span and yet a simple / compact design. Many places offer similar type lamps but are either clunky, unoriginal or will make your wallet over $1,000 lighter. We found the one we've looking for at BoConcept. It's a furniture franchise originated in Denmark. The store in Vancouver is on the 2nd level of the building shared by Inspirations on the ground level of the building. It was slight confusing on our first visit because they are 2 separate businesses which share a common centre in-store stairwell. Service was good. Since the only one available was a floor model, we were offered a reasonable 10% discount. A good alternative to sleeker and more stylish Scandinavian furniture in town than the mothership from Sweden.

We have been buying furniture from BoConcept for about 5 years now and we continue to be happy with…read moreit. The thing that makes BoConcept different from just anywhere else is the service that we get (from Paul) and we also like that everything just works together. The look is clean and refined and the quality is quite good as well. We have had a few issues here and there but Paul and BoConcept (and Rick) have been there to help us take care of anything that needed fixing. It's also nice to have an actual designer come to your house to help you see if things will work etc. They will even come during the installation to ensure that things are aligned correctly etc. I would definitely recommend them (and Paul) to friends, and I have.

I have my four closets installed by DCG based on the 5star ratings on yelp. During installation, I…read moreasked Cory the owner why two of my closets have edge moldings while three edge mouldings were missing in the other two closets.. Cory told me something like the wall is not straight and that is the best he could do. And also adding the rest of the mouldings would costs me more money. Now, after giving some thoughts about the matter, I think Cory did not bring enough edge mouldings to my house and he is too lazy to come back to complete the job. He figure that he can get away with these lies. Also, the manufacturing process is sloppy. The second picture shows that the particle board edge is exposed . In the email, Cory said that there will be 5 year warranty on the closet. I asked him about it, he said the invoice is the warranty. There is no warranty in the invoice. Now I look back at all the 5 star ratings on this company. It turns out that all of them are from before 2018 when the previous owners were in charge. This company under the new owner does not deserve a five star rating. It does sloppy manufacturing and installation job, try to finish the job as quickly as possible and does not treat it's customer correctly. I will not use this company and does not recommend it to anybody. I give it a 1star or 0 star rating. If you want a

And, we only have 2 closets, so I have been determined to maximize space. But I've honestly been failing there. There's only so much you can do with labeled shoe boxes. Enter, the Designer Closet Guys. Yes, I was drawn into their google ads because of their name and the sleekness of their site. Even though I've been told that the price for these guys is far less expensive than the California Closets etc, it's still pretty steep, and I will admit, I was a little sticker shocked. I had my reasoning though. Consultation took an hour to measure, design and show what the closets would look like on some cool, 3D software where they could manipulate the materials used and provide a quote right on the spot. We knew exactly what we were getting. After taking my deposit, the turnaround time was only 2 weeks. To save on costs, we stripped the old closet out and painted beforehand. Arriving at 1030 on a Monday morning, they were in and out by 1. Judging by the time it took just to strip and paint, (and the fact that once it took 2 hours for two of us just to put up 3 little bathroom shelves), I was happy to pay for my lightening fast closets! And now, looking at my new closets, I'm over the moon! Everything that once lived inside, now has an actual home... and there's so many empty shelves that I don't even know what to put on them... guess it's time for more shoe shopping ;p

After a recent downsize, consultant Les helped us choose many living room and bedroom items ensuring everything was coordinated (but not too "matchy") and complimentary to our existing furniture.

Everything arrived on schedule and was delivered and set up by a team of exceptional staff. They were meticulous about everything from shoes off at the door to pads applied to the feet of the sofa, chairs and table so they wouldn't scratch the hardwood floor to placing every piece exactly where I wanted it. I am extremely happy with the finished products and the look that Daphne helped me create. I would definitely recommend Once a Tree.

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 :)

For asking my son : he can sit on the chair if he has money to buy and checked his shoes to let him on the bed: no he was not joking, David checked the sole of my son's shoes and clapped to ask him to get down the stool; my son felt angry after he left the store. I felt humiliated. The owner is shallow and miserable, I pity his childhood. Think before entering the place with kids. The products are bought from Italy, they don not own the manufacturing unit, it means you are paying double profit , first to the manufacturing unit and second to resource, that's the reason for hike in prices (double compared to other places).

We love it because we can use the room as an office, guest bedroom, or yoga room. Perfect for our small apartment. Their colour options worked perfectly with the rest of our furniture too (white with a green desk). It's really easy and smooth to open the bed or lift it back up even though we have a really heavy mattress on it. Keep in mind that since it's custom made in Italy, it takes a very long time for delivery (months. plural), but it's worth the wait if you want something this innovative and high quality. Also, make sure the mattress you buy isn't too thick to fit.

Urban Presentations did the staging on a 1-BR condo I had listed in Kitsilano in November 2020, transforming it from a dark and dated space to a stunning modern and chic apartment that buyers fell in love with. Cindy gives the best advice about colors, furniture placement, and the latest design trends that fit the type of home she is working with. She and her very efficient team brought in all the furniture and decor items and had it camera-ready in 4 hours. My seller was thrilled, and we sold it the first week.
