How often do you just pop by the furniture store to see what鈥檚 new?

At most of the big box stores, styles and colours stay fairly consistent and sales staff are on the hunt for commission, making your browsing experience less than ideal.

But there鈥檚 one furniture store in Courtenay that turns all that on its head.

鈥淚t鈥檚 always changing in here,鈥� says Denis Lacasse from . 鈥淭he owner Mark Tardif has built great relationships with unique manufacturers over the years, and keeps up with furniture shows to see what鈥檚 new and up-and-coming. He鈥檚 got a good touch for finding interesting pieces.鈥�

Anmarcos works hard to be the 鈥榗oolest store鈥� with an ever-changing line-up of interesting items to browse in the store, and a team of staff committed to top-notch customer service.

鈥淲e always look to go the extra mile 鈥� the way it used to be back in the day,鈥� Denis says. 鈥淲e offer free, full service local delivery, and we鈥檒l always do what we can to help.鈥�

Stylish and sensible

One of most popular manufacturers is , which has been making retro dining sets right here in Canada for over 70 years.

鈥淭hese are the real deal. Many companies try to replicate that 50s style, but Acme has been in business since 1946 and the furniture is the same authentic design and quality,鈥� owner Mark Tardif says.

You can select in sparkly vinyl and funky laminate, or choose a dinette set off the 础苍尘补谤肠辞鈥檚 floor to take it home right away. And you don鈥檛 have to sacrifice comfort for that vintage style 鈥� Acme uses modern reinforced vinyl that鈥檚 less prone to cracking, strong laminates tabletops that are more durable and scratch resistant, anodized aluminum that won鈥檛 leave residue on your clothing, and foam that鈥檚 much more comfortable than the 鈥�50s cotton padding. The style is authentic, with a few modern upgrades!

Another 础苍尘补谤肠辞鈥檚 favourite is the flippable mattress, which lasts longer and wears better than other mattresses.

鈥淲hy buy just half a mattress?鈥� Mark says. 鈥淒on鈥檛 believe the story that a one-sided mattress is somehow better.鈥�

础苍尘补谤肠辞鈥檚 stocks trusted brands like Spring Air, Kingsdown and Restonic, who know manufacture a flippable mattress right. Stop by the store to learn more about why flippable mattresses went out of style, and what makes them a great choice today!
