EQ3 has some great designer items — a huge range of high end lighting — and best of all is their Canadian made furniture. The staff recognize me even though I am only in every couple months, but since the beginning they have been very helpful. I have ordered a custom upholstered leather lounge from them recently, and it exceeded my expectations. Large show room allows you to try out most of their furniture before you pull out your wallet.

After many months of admiring, I finally took the plunge and purchased a couch from EQ3. I found the staff to be very helpful. They really took the time to show me fabric options, provided samples and a detailed quote. So far I am very happy with the purchase, and was very happy with the delivery service as well. It was a quick and painless transaction. The delivery service was considerate — cleaned up, didn’t bang the walls, etc. I’m eyeing other items at EQ3, and I’m sure I’ll be back for more in the future!

LOVEEQ3! We had a great experience here, from the customer service, to great selection of furniture. Pricing is slightly higher but very fair, though you pay for great quality(actual wood, not veneer). Keep in mind you’re not shopping at a bulk furniture store like others in that area, you have plenty of materials and colors to choose from. We were building our house when we picked out our furniture, and all we had to work with was a picture of our color pallet from the design center. Carissah was great to work with, giving us advice on styles and colors based on our home colors. When we changed our mind on a dining table we had ordered, it was no problem to cancel it(even though it was delivered at the warehouse) and we looked over the many brochures together to find exactly what we are looking for in style, finish and color. Their delivery for most of our items was earlier than scheduled, though our bar stools were delayed 2 months. Carissah offered us loaners that would be dropped off at our house for free, and for us to keep until our actual stools came in. We even received weekly updates from with regards to delivery. This is a great stress-free environment to shop in, with very helpful sales people. We have now had our furniture for a few months and couldn’t be happier. We will definitely be back!

I originally spoke with sales assosiate, Tiffany in the store a few weeks back. She was assisting both myself and a good friend of mine, she was so super helpful this day but what has been amazing is her follow through with me. I am renovating and re-designing our house while my husband is out of country and so she offered to come take a look at my space, today she was able to come over and assist me with placing just the right piece of furniture in my main living space while also bringing to light an entire new floor plan I hadn’t even thought of, I’m so thankful for this because I was really struggling with the space on my own,(I have a slightly less creative mind then her) I feel so confident about the space now and I couldn’t be happier with my picks! I want to commend Tiffany personally because it has been a LONG time since I felt I’ve encountered a sales associate as passionate and as professional as her. I felt more like I was trusting in a personal friend for advise then I was interacting with a company. on that note, I have to mention how much I LOVE that EQ3 is a Canadian company and most of the furniture is made in Canada, what a concept, it feels good to support a local company with high quiality and decent costs. I am so excited and looking forward to my new couch and pillows, I feel like a 5 year old in candy shop! If your looking for a great furniture shopping expereince with knowledgable and passionate staff go to EQ3 and ask for Tiffany!

For years I’ve heard great things about EQ3 and even when I perused their isles, their furniture was a noticeable step above IKEA or Superstore furniture. I couldn’t wait till I got my own place and finally have my own set. So when the time came, I spent a considerable amount of money from my moving out budget on a couch and coffee table. Picking out my furniture was a great experience. The sales staff were great and helped me with samples. They answered my questions as they came and weren’t pushy about things. But as a small chain store competing with bigger stores like Leons, Ikea, or the Brick. There were things EQ3 lacked and had to outsource. LIke their delivery and repair. So this is where things take a turn for the worse, well more so a week-long delay and nuisance. First the packaging on my table was loose which meant that my table broke and scratched during transit. So I had to wait a week to have the table come in. I did appreciate the effort put on by Don, who used his own car to bring my coffee table. Next my couch posed several issues. First my loveseat didn’t come with legs which they had to reorder for me and I had to pick up on my own time at the store. Next the legs on the extension wouldn’t go in so they had to get a furniture repairman to come in and fix it. This may not seem like much but trust me, it took a lot of my time to take calls back and forth, cancel appointments to make time for them to drop by. I imagined everything would be set up the day my furniture arrived. I’m quite satisfied with my couch and coffee table(which I look forward to using with my collection of coffee table books about coffee tables re: Seinfeld) but for the high price I paid, the time spent in getting it set up was not worth it all. Hopefully things get better in the future, they do have great bedroom furniture, I’d imagine I’d keep EQ3 as an option.

I wonder what EQ3 stands for? Huh — who knows. I like EQ3 and have for years. Today, after going to my favorite furniture stores in the hunt for my first king size bed(umm, exciting) we ended up dropping in to EQ3 to have a look having thought we found our bed at the last store. Well, we changed our mind. Sure enough the exact bed I was looking for presented itself in its perfect upholstered, simplistic, and modern form. SUCCESS! We were quickly greeted, offered help and then after we perused we needed help with questions. A tall blonde girl(wish I knew her name) was quick to assist, suggest fabrics for the custom order and pointed out a few concerns we may not have thought of(ie: You’re both tall and this has a foot board, did you consider that you might hate kicking it in your sleep??). Well we hadn’t, but thanks for the point of view. Blonde girl humored us by grabbing the various fabrics for us to envision, laughed at our random attempts to rationalize«copper» over«silver» and then explained why our choice was perfect! Today they had a scratch and save sale which allowed us to save 10%(boo.I wanted 50%) which made us happy to save a couple bucks. I like the products here, I like that its Canadian and hand crafted in Winnipeg, I love the great service and knowledge and I appreciated being able to customize the order. I now have an EQ3 bed that matches my EQ3 couch.

I absolutely love EQ3, it is higher priced but there is something about the designs of their items that are parallel to none. This store is generous in space not like the IKEA just blocks away and definitely not the same pricing but … if I was going to spend more money on pimping my crib this is the place I would come no questions asked. This EQ3 location has a nice range of contemporary tables, chairs, sofas, bedroom sets and design accessories. Designs are sleek and functional, most units have storage areas and EQ3 keeps in mind that most urbanites are living in condo spaces and so they try to design around that. Minimal styling but the best use of space. I love EQ3 because the furniture is really well made, and last forever, I love the chrome touches and the great earthly colors. When you buy sets however here it takes approximately 4 weeks to get to you, this for me is the only drawback, if you are patient then go for it but the client usually needs that piece asap and will naturally venture to the big blue friend across the way.

When decorating my place I like to get unique pieces. EQ3 is a great place to get those kinds of things! The furniture is expensive, $ 1,200 for a sofa, $ 500 for a chair. When I was looking for a dining table I looked here but they were all around $ 500 and the sale items were beat up. I wanted to get a new duvet cover, I had seen ones here before, so I went to check it out. They do have some beautiful covers and sheet sets. the had a small sale area, so I found a bright blue cover for $ 70. When they are normally $ 100, that’s not bad! I also found a super soft chocolate brown sheet set for $ 40, regular $ 65. They have some great prints and colors, I love the sheets here! There are also some wicked home décor items. I found this clock that I had to have, it was $ 50, but it is timeless. They also carry some great glasses, they were at least $ 6 each though. The tableware was kinda drab. The staff here were nice enough, but the guy helping me took forever and a day to get my clock from the back. I really like EQ3, they don’t seem to have much change in their variety if stock though. It is for sure a unique place to check out for home décor and furnishings!
