We heard about Elan through a friend and ended up buying all of our furniture (couch, chair and storage ottoman) from there. Not only is everything made in Winnipeg, it's made with high quality materials and a hardwood frame. You also get to pick out your fabrics so you can custom design your furniture. The staff is extremely friendly and knowledgeable. They care as much about how good something will look in your home as you do. For the price (which is extremely comparable to every major store), you get 5x the quality and style. We love Elan!

The staff was kind and welcoming, and I felt truly cared for during my visit. However, my experience took a dramatic turn after I had already paid for my dress and alterations, and I feel compelled to share my story to help others. When I purchased my wedding dress, I made it clear that I was dealing with significant health issues that caused weight fluctuations. This was mentioned not just to the sales associate but in front of the seamstress and my maid of honor as well. I requested that the dress be altered from a zipper back to a corset back to accommodate these fluctuations. I was assured that this request would be fulfilled, and I even paid for both the dress and the alterations upfront. Unfortunately, that was not what happened. When I received the dress, everything seemed fine at first. I stepped into the dress and pulled it up without issue. My maid of honor tied the corset back, and it appeared that the alterations had been done correctly. I didn't think too much of it at the time because I was simply overjoyed to have the dress and was focused on other things, including arranging our move to another province so I can be caring for my mom who was very ill at the time. Fast forward a few years later, after the heartbreaking loss of my mother, I finally returned to the dress. It was incredibly emotional, as this was the one moment she had been so eager to see me in. When I went to put the dress on with my aunt's help, I discovered that the zipper would not fully close. To my shock, there was still a zipper in the back, when I had explicitly requested that it be replaced with a corset. I reached out to The Perfect Gown to explain what had happened, and while they initially seemed receptive, I was deeply disheartened by the response I received from the in-house seamstress. She confirmed that she was the original seamstress and acknowledged that she chose to leave the zipper in place, despite knowing about my health issues and the need for a corset back. She explained that I "fit the dress at the time," but did not provide the alterations I paid for, even though I had clearly requested and paid for them upfront. When I explained my situation--living out of province and dealing with the added costs of travel--she offered to help, but the additional cost of having the dress altered properly would be $200-$400. This was after the initial alterations were not done correctly, and the original work had already been paid for. The stress this situation caused, especially considering how important this dress was to me and my family, was absolutely heartbreaking. I feel devastated by the fact that this dress, the only one my mom would have seen me in, is now unwearable, all because of a mistake that should never have happened. It's not just a dress--it was the dress, and it holds more emotional value than I can express. I can't justify paying hundreds or even thousands more to fix an issue that should have been addressed correctly from the start. After much thought, I've made the difficult decision to no longer support The Perfect Gown. I hope that this review serves as a cautionary tale for future brides and that they are able to fully trust that the alterations they request and pay for will be done as promised. This experience has left me feeling incredibly disappointed and heartbroken. Please note the image is covered as the wedding has not taken place and I intent to find another seamstress who can assist in hopes that I can still salvage some of it.

When you live in Winnipeg, it's nice having a car starter when the temperature is -40°C in the winter before you factor in the windchill. I followed suit. I had no idea how to install a remote car starter. You can buy the kit and do it yourself if you are savvy. I had a knowledgeable male staffer lead me the way to the selection of car starters. Once I chose the one that suited my needs, he booked an appointment to have my car starter installed. It took a couple of hours to have it installed. I ended up dropping off my car and then waiting for it by having lunch at an eatery that is sadly gone. It had the best spaghetti pie that I have ever had. I was pleased with my car starter. The left button started my car. I could be a few blocks away and it would start without fail. It was cool and much needed when it was frigid outside. I had an outdoor parking spot where I lived, so starting my car remotely was nice. I was recently at a spa to get a manicure while on vacation. Advance Electronics was across the street, which brought back fond memories of owning my first car and having a remote car starter installed. Since I moved back to Markham, I have never had the need for a car starter. It would be a nice perk, but it's not as cold here to merit shelling out for one. (321)

They were able to deliver the couch when you want it delivered. I had mine delivered within a day or 2 upon payment. They delivered the couch at no extra cost and bring it right into your living room. The movers were your typical movers. Friendly and courteous. But one guy wanted to use my loo and didn't flush.

I went into sleep country on Kenaston with my wife last week at 8PM. The store was closing at 9, and it looked as it had been a very busy day in the store. The store and especially the bathrooms were a bit dirty, but this was black Friday so I imagine that there was not a lot of time to clean up. We were met by Louise Zhang. She walked us around the store gave us some time to ourselves. By 9:05, 5 minutes after the store closed we ended up with a brand new adjustable Tempur-pedic bed. These bed's are fully adjustable and can go over 8 Grand depending on mattress and size. We opted for a queen which with discount came to over four grand. Not a small price to pay for a bed, but hey if you are not going to spend good money on a bed then where are you going to spend it. Louise was just a joy to work with and is probably underemployed. Her attention to detail was incredible especially considering she was overtime on her shift. The bed was delivered a few short days later and the guys popped it into my existing bed surround. They were quite professional as well, however they did smell of smoke. They did a really good job and were in and out. Old bed and all packaging was taken away. Thus far the Tempur-pedic adjustable bed was worth every penny. The bed just oozes quality, and I am looking forward to sleeping on it for a very long time. I was very pleased with sleep country, Louise, the delivery guys. All and all 5 star experience!

We have dealt in Winnipeg at the Unicity Store and have always enjoyed excellent service. Our latest experience however, was less than exemplary. The salespeople were OK but less accommodating than our prior experiences, but the big issue was delivery. They sent a third party (moving company) who had no idea how to set up the bed (lifestyle) or to properly attach the headboard. They eventually got it useable but left a few parts behind, not knowing where they went and being in a big rush to get to the next delivery having spent nearly 3 hours with us. We called for assistance and got a second appointment to complete the installation, specifically requesting Sleep Country personnel who knew what they were doing but the same moving company showed up. We were hesitant to let them in. They were better than the first pair but still not expert with the bed and took a while to figure it out. All in all unprofessional, not the "white glove" service we were promised, no "booties" to protect your floors and so on. Product is good but we'll shop around next time.
