| - My partner and I moved into a new house recently and we have been doing A LOT of furniture shopping over the past 3 months. We sold our condo fully furnished and moved into the new house with a mattress and two borrowed chairs. I feel like we've been to almost every furniture store in town!
Before I went to the store, I checked out Bo Concept online and I really liked what I saw in the catalogue. They have a huge selection of danish modern and contemporary furniture and accessories, and most furniture can be customized with different fabrics or finishes. Unfortunately they carry less than 1/3 of the catalogue in the store.
The store is very large (for a downtown shop). The furniture is grouped by room type so that you can see coordinating pieces together, probably encouraging us to buy more :) The sales people are generally friendly, but no one offered me a 3D rendering of my space, even though I mentioned to two different sales people that I had just moved in to a new house and had no furniture. It wasn't until I read Dinah G's review that I even knew they offered the service.
Seven weeks after placing the order, I finally received my coffee table today!! I guess I shouldn't be too critical of the delivery time, a lot of stores in town don't seem to carry any of their stock in Canada.
I WOULD NOT recommend buying any furniture from Bo Concept that requires assembly at home. The coffee table was 3x more expensive than IKEA, and 3x harder to assemble. There were over 50 predrilled holes in the bottom of the tabletop, but the holes in the base didn't line up with any of them?!? We called the store to ask for some assistance and they weren't any help, aside from offering to send someone to assemble it for $100! The instructions didn't say anything about using your own power drill to fasten the frame to the top, but that ended up being the only way we could do it.
Bo Concept, I want to love you, I really do. But after having to MacGruber the coffee table together, I won't be returning :(
