IKEA Canada has Great Options in
Contemporary Furniture
There’s nothing like being able to design your
home your way. Sometimes that is difficult, however, when you visit
a ton of furniture stores that offer more of the same (also known
as, if you’ve seen it in one store, you’ve seen it in them all).
There is one company, however, that takes the initiative to not only
give you tons of great options in contemporary furniture, but also
provide it at an astoundingly inexpensive price. Now that I’ve
raised your senses some and have you asking who I could be talking
about, I will take this opportunity to introduce you to IKEA Canada.
About IKEA Canada
IKEA Canada is the Canadian affiliate to the
IKEA brand and is a home furnishing store that seeks to sell high
quality furniture and reasonable prices. The first store opened in
Vancouver in 1976 and since then 10 more stores have opened, with
the most recent grand openings occurring in 2003 with their Montreal
and Toronto stores. Other cities you can find the Canadian stores
are Calgary, Edmonton and Ottawa. Each store is larger than 12,000
square meters, with the largest store sitting at an astounding
31,000 square meters – this means there is plenty of furniture
available for those interested in finding great deals.
Like their other affiliate stores, IKEA Canada
has an extensive catalog of furniture, both online and at their
retail stores. Some of this furniture includes items for dining
rooms, kitchens, living rooms, bedrooms, workspaces, laundry rooms,
and children’s bedrooms. For these rooms you might find sofas of all
kinds (leather included), built-in kitchens, sinks, dining tables,
computer workstations, side tables and so much more. Their objective
at all of the stores is to make sure that you pay the least
expensive rate possible for the quality furniture you receive; and
at the Canadian affiliate, they seem to want to go the extra mile to
please their customers.
What You Will Find at Their Stores
Some people say that you can get lost in IKEA
Canada and have to have a team of people come find you hours later.
This is because, much like their affiliates, they have such a large
variety of options when it comes to furniture that you will spend
hours looking only to find more options. This isn’t a bad thing
though – it just means if you visit one of their 11 stores, you can
rest assured that you will find something that you will love to
place in your home.
Actually, the word “something” should be
replaced with “anything” – which is pretty much what you can find in
one of the Canadian stores. They have tons of options including
bookcases, shelves, storage systems, fabric and leather sofas and
armchairs, bathroom and kitchen organizers, coffee tables, stools
and benches, ceiling fixtures, mirrors, rugs, tiles for floors, pet
products, and cooking items to name a few. Their options are
endless. And with gift-giving time upon us, you can find great
holiday solutions, including ornaments, candles, wrapping paper, and
even collectables!
IKEA Canada Online
Their online site is just as plentiful in
options as their retail stores. Whether you’re looking for a new bed
with mattresses, a new dining room table, or a new armchair, you are
sure to find exactly what you need and more with their selection.
The uniqueness of their website, however, is that you have the
option of either ordering items online and having them shipped to
your home, or you can order than, have the shipped “flat” and then
pick them up at one of their warehouses at a reduced rate – then
assemble yourself.
The functionality of the website is one to be
rivaled with only by the best website developers out there – and
this means a great deal when wanting to purchase items in a hurry
while fully understanding the process. They make it easy for you to
find your way to all of the great items they offer online. So, let’s
say you’re looking to find some bedroom furniture for your children.
You simply click on “children’s room” and you will be opened up to a
wide variety of furniture options for your child, including baby
nursing stations and changing tables, as well as play area items and
bedding options for when they grow older.
Once you’ve decided what you want to purchase
through their online store, then you add each item to your virtual
shopping trolley and maneuver through the check out process as you
would on many retail websites. But unlike many sites, if they item
is not available (like that great baby gym you’ve been dying for)
then you can simply select the retail store in your area and they
will allow you to check their stock of inventory before you make a
trip to the store. This and other great functions of the website add
to the already impressive list of reasons to form a retail
partnership (they sell, you buy) with IKEA Canada.
Community Service
While IKEA Canada is known for its retail
action in North America, it is also highly respected as forerunner
in community service. They work with a number of charitable
organizations, including Unicef, to raise money for a variety of
important causes. With their ability to connect with the community
as a retailer and charitable contributor, it is no wonder they have
seen such success as a business.
IKEA Canada is more than a brand name that
functions as a subset of other brands around the country. It is
definitely an asset to the upper North American region, functioning
as a prominent retailer and steadfast supporter of community
enrichment. And of course, by purchasing their items, you are also
finding great furniture for your home. The sleek designs will
enhance your overall look without compromising your pocketbook – a
definite bonus. So the next time you choose to go out and purchase
some great furniture, get if from those who care about quality while
allowing you to stock up in quantity – IKEA Canada.
