Where to find fine quality solid wood furniture?
I am looking for a bedroom set. But the stuff I am seeing at the places like Leon's and The Brick are really not very good quality. I would like solid wood furniture, not all veneers.
Does anyone know a great furniture store that sells quality solid wood furniture?
In Southern Ontario only please !!!
Stoney Creek Furniture used to have a nice selection. Your best bet, though, would be to go through the Yellow Pages and ask questions.
If I still lived in southern Ontario, I'd go to Mennonite country or Niagara on the Lake and shop there. As it is, I live North, so our solid oak bedroom furniture was custom built to our specifications by a local carpenter. Not expensive ... doesn't show the dust ... and looks very nice.
Good luck in your search.
