The words " furniture shopping" and "fun" rearly appear in the same sentence, but at Island Furniture, it's our mission to provide customers with a unique shopping experience that is unequalled in the province.

Staff members take their job to heart but like to have a little fun and the relaxed atmosphere is sometimes more akin to that of a typical home setting

For instance, when some employess in the bedroom section took to calling themselves sleep specialists, they decided to make a statement by wearing surgical "greens" and calling themselves sleep doctors!

The smell of freshly-baked cookies or the steady drone of a dishwasher is also common in the appliance gallery. Here, staff routinely test the fully-functional appliances for curious customers.

Manager David Martin says the unique atmosphere is only part of what sets Island Furniture apart from the competition. Located on 428 Empire Avenue in St. John's Newfoundland, the business offers an unbeatable selection from some of the world's best brand names in a well-organized, gallery-style setting that is designed to make the shopping experience pleasant and hassle-free.

At Island Furniture, customers won't find themselves searching out a specific product or sifting through a clutter of items amassed in a warehouse-like maze. That's just not the way it is at one of the largest and most successful furniture stores in Atlantic Canada.

We are trying to put fun back in furniture shopping by recreating the experience. The most valuable thing a customer has is time, and we respect that by offering the selection, quality, price and service in the most appropriate environment possible.

To the average person, furniture shopping is like a trip to the dentist: we know it's inevitable, but we disdain it nonetheless. When the time does come, we want to make sure the experience is as painless and efficient as possible. The furniture galleries at Island Furniture are designed to do just that.

The coffee pot is always on at Island Furniture and customers are encouraged to browse with no pressure. Stay as long as you want and come back as often as you want! See you soon
