Why Central Designs

Buying furniture online — especially at $1,000+ — takes trust. Here's why hundreds of Canadian homes have trusted Central Designs since we opened.

We're a real Toronto business, not a dropshipping site

Central Designs is based at 252 Adelaide Street East in downtown Toronto. We've been curating furniture for Canadian homes for years. You can call us at (416) 477-1186 and a real person will answer. Try that with most furniture websites.

We carry brands you won't find at Article or West Elm

Our curated brand list includes SunPan (Toronto-designed modern furniture), LH Home (custom upholstery Canadian-made), Mercana (genuine leather, artisan lighting), D-Bodhi (reclaimed teak from Indonesia), and Moe's Home Collection. These are premium design houses available at a small selection of curated retailers in Canada.

Custom upholstery — your sofa, your way

Through LH Home, you can choose from hundreds of fabric and leather swatches and have a sofa or chair built to your exact specification. Production takes 10-14 weeks, but you get the exact piece you want. Most online furniture retailers don't offer this at all. We do.

30-day satisfaction guarantee

If something arrives and doesn't work in your space, you have 30 days to return it. The same as Article, EQ3, and West Elm. We made this change because we believe in our curation — if a piece doesn't fit your home, we'll take it back.

White-glove delivery, not curbside drop-off

For furniture orders, we offer scheduled white-glove delivery: our team brings the piece into your room, places it where you want it, assembles it if needed, and removes all packaging. Add this at checkout from $99 (GTA) or $149 (rest of Canada).

Free shipping that actually means something

Free shipping on accessory orders over $149, small furniture over $999, and full white-glove delivery on large furniture orders over $2,999. No hidden fees, no surprise charges at checkout. View full rates.

Real damage protection

If anything arrives damaged or defective, we make it right at no cost to you — free replacement or full refund, including original shipping. Photograph the damage within 48 hours of delivery and email us. We've never made this difficult, and we never will.

Questions before you buy?

Furniture is a big decision. We'd rather you ask first than return later. Call us at (416) 477-1186 or email contact@centraldesigns.ca. We'll send you fabric swatches, check dimensions, recommend pieces for your space — whatever helps you make a confident decision.
