purchased 7 upholstered chairs, 1 ottoman, 1 sofa, 4 custom pillows

We purchased the above furniture at the now-closed Pickering Store. The furniture we received was of such poor quality and workmanship that even the DeBoers upholsterer brought in to correct the furniture admitted he was shocked. Fabric was not stapled correctly, seats and back were under-stuffed with poor quality fill & rolled over when used, the sofa fabric started 'pilling' in under 4 weeks. Even the custom down pillows were so awful that we couldn't believe they used down, although that's what we paid for. Zippers were put halfway up the face of pillows rather than along the seams. We spoke to the sales staff at the retail store (now closed), the Ontario Regional Manager and finally a customer service representative who admitted he'd been assigned to us so the Ontario Manager didn't have to take our calls & emails. The pieces of furniture that we returned to the factory were adjusted but the problems were not resolved even to the satisfaction of other staff working in the factory. It is particularly disheartening when even the staff can't defend the poor quality of the product!
After almost two years of trying to get Deboer's to bring the furniture up to the standards and quality we saw in the showroom and from which we ordered, we finally sent everything to a "real" upholsterer.
At an additional cost of over $5500.00 for the restuffing and re-upholstering of the sofa and matching chairs, and an additional $1100.00 for the restuffing of the 2 chairs-and-a-half (although we've been told the fabric is so shoddy it may not last a year even though we are an adults only household), we finally have furniture that is usable. The only furniture that has lived up to its showroom personality has been the "demo" models we bought off the floor. Everything else has been truly appalling. Our experience with Deboer's was a nightmare and a mistake - one that we will never ever repeat. We bought at Deboer's because there was a time when the store had a reputation for quality and we thought the company would stand behind its product. Apparently this time has long passed.

What could this company do to improve their services?
Quality control, stand behind products and insure standards are the same as floor sample. also, educate sales staff - we found the level of knowledge of (very nice) sales staff lacking - ours for example was more interested in telling me about moving in with her boyfriend than talking about fabrics. a second staff member admitted she wasn't really sales but had been bumped down.
Any advice to offer fellow homeowners facing a similar project?
We were shocked to learn about things like "rubs" - which is how fabric is graded for wear & tear - we would suggest that you either do some reasearch or spend an hour with an interior design consultant. In the end it would have been far cheaper for us to custom build everything and we would have something that fit the space perfectly.

Furnitures

I visited Deboer's last weekend and I found their furnitures to be high quality and has lots of variety from contemporary to traditional. The sales staffs are very helpful and they even assist and help me with my design dilemma. Though they are considered high end store, there are also some products that are affordable and they have sale items as well and floor models. I haven't bought anything yet but definitely, will get our sofa from them.

dining table

Has unique round glass table with built in lazy susan. Very modern/comtemporary. Sales person was able to showed similar products with ingenious design to make a round table expand to seat more people. Highly recommend this store to find great quality items.

Living room and dining room furniture

It was our first visit to the store and had high expectations as we had an impression of the fine quality of furniture that was carried. We were surprised to find that most of the furniture was not very stylish and for the most part very uncomfortable to sit on. We had been to other furniture stores on our search to furnishing and were very disappointed at the selection we found at Deboer's.
