      You could buy from Costco or Amazon, why would you ever go to these thinly veiled mafia launderers?

      “Deceptive marketing…” like pretending they are competitors?

      Walked into The Brick once and they were like piranhas following me around. Even said I was fine and I’d ask for them if I needed help. Kept following me, talking in my ear the whole time, so I just stopped, 180, walked out and never set foot in there again.

      “Deceptive marketing”

      What about their predatory lease to own policies?

      Are there any good furniture stores in Canada?

      Anytime we’re looking for any piece of furniture, it’s an absolute disaster. Everything seems cheap and flimsy.

      Wife is looking for a dresser and we’re pretty close to seeking out a custom furniture store because all the dressers we’ve seen will likely fall apart in a few years.

      Finally.

      “The No Money Miracle” and “Christmas in July” are clearly fake marketing!

      *clutches pearls* say it ain’t so! /s

      I’m not surprised. At all.

      Ooooooohhhh, you see we don’t have the chair for that set in the back, cause you know that’s why it’s on sale, and you specifically came here for it, because it’s discontinued! No I can’t sell the floor model until the sale is over, that’s a few weeks at least..

      BUT, I can sell you THIS couch set 3 rows over and another $1500 without checking the stock on that one, and your almost at the limit for getting 0% interest! Only another $400, how’s your bed/washer/dryer/stove/fridge???

      And if you get a pair of either of those I can throw in this big screen TV!

      How much?? Well it’s ONLY $118 dollars a month!

      The total, oooohhhh, I’m not sure but it’s ONLY $118 a month MINIMUM payment, right up until the time lapses and it’s 800 a month to barely cover the accrued interest!!

      Good! Me and my wife purchased a couch about a year ago from the Leon’s in Guelph, when the couch arrived to our house before even cutting the plastic protection we knew it was the wrong couch we ordered. So we call the store immediately and the women we spoke to on the phone said that there was nothing that she could do because the couch was already inside our house and for them to take it back it must be “defective”

      She told us they could not take the couch back to the store because they only sell their items “new” to customers, if they were to take the couch back and sell it to another customer it wouldn’t be considered new even though it was still in its packaging. We won’t be buying any products from Leon’s or The Brick for the foreseeable future.

      I worked for the Brick back in the early 00’s, never setting foot in that place or letting anyone I know ever shop there if I can help it. Crooked then, crooked now.

      Yeah. Check out their sofa display. Pic has every colour of the rainbow saying pick the color you want and make your sofa!

      The actual selection is maybe 10-15 shades of grey verging on blue with some half assed designs.

      Can I get in on a class action lawsuit potentially? I literally bought a mattress last week. 50% off sticker price and wasn’t even on sale. Prices seemed the same for the same mattress across most outlets but ended up going to The Brck.

    13. MaxRD on

      You mean the stores that have a special VIP sale every week are only pretending to discount things? And here I thought I was getting the deal of a lifetime. I’m shocked!

      Definitely one of the more scumbag companies I interviewed at. Like another user said they have a purely commission based wage. If you’re having a slow month of sales they’ll top you up to minimum wage *but* they keep track of how much minimum wage they’ve paid you so they can garnish it from any future sales commission you do get.

      *”inflating regular prices while making savings claims”*

      Looking at you Canadian Tire pots and pans that are always 40% to 80%+ on sale…LOL.

      Overpriced, ugly, outdated, tacky paperweight furniture. I can’t stand them and the Brick.

      I bought my couch at Leon’s and payed extra for warranty the protection spray cause my wife thought it would be a good idea The guy that came to do the spray broke the frame under the couch and didn’t say shit when I sat on it that night I sagged almost to the floor and realized what happened it was a week old at that point, so I called and asked for a new couch and after being interrogated like I did it they agreed to “fix” it not replace so the guys that fixed it screwed a new piece next to the broken cross member of the frame. Needless to say thier warranty can get fucked I’ll never pay extra for that shit again when I coulda have done a better fix myself
