I'm not sure is its changed much over the years but I remember the one in Kitchener. The furniture is too big and expensive.
One lesson I learned quickly when I moved to Toronto is that you need small furniture. Living spaces are just too damn small. I had a great Queen sized bed that was only 3 years old. It ended up in a dumpster. Some of these furniture places like bad boy and sleep country seem to be catering to people living in full houses.
The reality, for me at least, is that despite a high income I am living in a 8'x10' room that need to also be my office. Also I need to move frequently as rent controll is gone. places here have weird layouts so sonthing that fit nicely in your last place may not longer fit in the next place. If I can somthing that suites my needs and is a few inches smaller, I'll probably take that over other options. Even if cheaper it may last longer. Multifunctional, or collapsible is also a huge selling point for me.
Places like Ikea and Muji are the only places selling furniture I can fit. Though I really belive there can be even better options if somone is willing to make space efficient furniture that's also good quality. We see is stuff online all the time. Murphy beds that are also an office space when folded? Awesome! No one sells it here.
