GUFF on Postcard

"This vintage furniture shop came from humble beginnings in a small Queen East storefront. They have an eye for picking out gorgeous mid-century pieces, have a bustling in-house reupholstery operation, and have even graduated to making their own pieces. They specialize in mid-century Scandinavian design, with a mix of industrial and contemporary influence. Less trinkets, more typewriters, old projectors, and vintage film equipment. They also post the majority of their inventory online, which is super helpful. The real beauties are snapped up, so hovering on the website is key." - Medina Abdelkader

Great vintage furniture + homeware, not crazy expensive. Lots of #MCM if you are into that!!!! Also easy to shop online.

I sold my dining set to Guff and they were fantastic. Excellent customer service, pick up when they said they would be here, friendly delivery men, careful and respectful handling. I would highly recommend them.

Disappointing Customer Experience with GUFF. I recently visited GUFF and felt compelled to share my experience, which unfortunately left much to be desired. My visit was met with an unwelcoming atmosphere, courtesy of an individual who appeared to be in a sour mood and showed no interest in assisting me. From the moment I entered the establishment, it was evident that customer service was not a priority. The individual I encountered seemed disinterested in hearing my concerns or assisting me with. Their demeanor was unprofessional, and it left a lasting impression of indifference towards customers. In today's competitive market, exceptional customer service is pivotal to a business's success. Regrettably, my experience at GUFF fell short of this standard. I believe that a respectful and attentive attitude towards customers is fundamental to any business, regardless of the circumstances. I hope that GUFF will consider this feedback and take measures to improve the overall customer experience. Politeness, patience, and a willingness to listen are qualities that can make all the difference in fostering customer loyalty and ensuring the success of your business.

Very cool stuff here. Fairly good turnover of merchandise , so visit this place regularly. See their web site for an idea of what they currently have in. Accurate description and price offered for most of the inventory. The pricing always seems a bit on the high side, but that probably reflects my budget rather than the valuation of the unique objects featured here. Its location is great for a whole lot of the city, being right off the DVP and public transit. They offer limited parking. I'm sure you might book a time to use their bay doors for large pick ups. Always fun just to pop in and browse.. Like a museum you can shop from

Staff and owner were very informative. It's a nice, large showroom with well restored pieces and their prices are very competitive. Free parking is a plus.

honestly, great place, online and in-store everything makes sense. they let you browse without bugging you, and conversely when you ask questions you get straightforward quick service. they don’t engage in sales tricks and they are upfront about any damages or faults in the piece you’re buying. their only sales trick is their great curation; they let the pieces sell themselves, and it seems to be working because the turnover is pretty fast, i browse their website often and always see new stuff. in 2014 we bought a vintage sofa set from them that is still comfy and good looking. and in 2022 we’re buying another three teak pieces. You’re not being frugal if you buy teak from Guff but it seems to me their prices are lower than other similar showrooms in Toronto and the product you’re buying has a resale value.

Bought some artwork from here during lockdown and was so pleased with how easy it was. The team was friendly in their communication from beginning to end and the I’m obsessed with my new pieces. I always enjoy checking out what this shop has. Definitely a city gem!

Purchased some kitchen chairs for my parents and delivered them on Sunday - they were just perfect with their existing table! Thanks to the incredibly helpful GUFF staff who helped bring the vision to life! GUFF will be my go to for my furniture needs and I will be watching for chairs for my own table now too!

I went in to browse for some mid-century furnishings and they had a great selection. The prices are a bit steep but it's to be expected when looking at niche furnishings, considering their age and quality. The staff member on hand wasn't pushy or or in my face and gave me the freedom to browse around at my own pace. They had a good selection of quality mid-century items.
