Most of the furniture is Canadian made and ordered from furniture depots near the stores. Secondly, it's not Leon's fault that your furniture was crap, it's whoever they ordered it from. Too often people are too quick to assume that furniture is made through the company, it's not, it's all ordered in from other furniture companies; Leons is just a depot.

They could get you any kind of furniture, and good quality, for about 60% of retail. All you had to do was describe it, and they would get it for you. Also appliances, carpet, you name it. One of the last of the great places to shop. When they closed their doors, I was heartbroken.CShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12136201152682543365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1767713885443036882.post-39698129209299043402008-01-12T16:43:00.000-05:002008-01-12T16:43:00.000-05:00Through doing a major renovation that is only 1/3 ...Through doing a major renovation that is only 1/3 done, I have come to know what you're saying and it is certainly Buyer Beware! I can't believe how many angles and details about a product you have to consider before purchasing something! I swear we bought our house in less time than it took us to find just the right gas fireplace! Mind you, at $4600 we wanted to be really precise. But there are always unforeseen problems as you found.<BR/><BR/>We had a horrible experience with Sleep Country and found that Christine Mcgee's claim that the dekivery guys were very polite and careful right down to the booties they wore, was anything but true! They were rude and gouged our wall in a few places after going against our warning that they wouldn't get it up our narrow stairs! They had to pay for a plasterer to come for a few hours to fix damage and then Christine gace us a gift cert for $50...but it shouldn't have happened.<BR/><BR/>On that note...enjoy your new pieces!!!Mother of Inventionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03797365678860039018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1767713885443036882.post-75162867366775242062008-01-12T15:51:00.000-05:002008-01-12T15:51:00.000-05:00I like the choice!

Shopping for couches sure is an ordeal. I remember checking out countless ones before I finally decided and now, 4 years later, I still adore them and they are sooo comfortable for sleeping on (which in my current state of unrest has been a blessing cuz I move to the couch almost every night) Hooray for good customer service!Becky Wolfehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13328240336833495892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1767713885443036882.post-19431040413098043252008-01-12T14:32:00.000-05:002008-01-12T14:32:00.000-05:00Wow.
