The Brick

2.5* Smaller Brick, stopped by while I was in the area.
Tip: There is NO entrance off Kennedy Rd., so don’t be tempted to make that turn! Only entrance is off Clarence St.
Oh, The Brick. A necessary-​evil for those of you who’ve been furniture shopping yet want to move beyond Ikea. In some ways though, shopping at Ikea is a better experience as you do not have to deal with any commission-​hungry staff.
Here, you hafta know what to expect and that is that you’re gonna be accosted as soon as you step foot inside the store. You’ll have a somewhat aggressive sales person ask if you’re looking for anything in particular, what you need, if you need help, etc. and that’s OK as long as you can see past that.
For the most part, I’ve just come into these stores to check out their prices/​quality first-​hand. Sure, the sales staff can be in-​your-​face, but you can also use their eagerness to your advantage by asking them questions like, «Do you have a measuring tape?»
Again, since I’ve never purchased anything, I can only go by feeling and I sense that the quality is OK. Not the best, but certainly not the worst either.
