Shaina Sala’s family has spent decades creating and decorating Calgary homes. Her grandfather built homes in Midnapore, and her mother is an interior designer, so starting a business related to beautifying hearth and home was a natural choice. Sala and her husband Alexander own Showhome Furniture, an expansive store in Deerfoot Mall that carries unique imported furniture and home accessories. Passionate bargain hunters and lovers of vintage finds, they began selling furniture at community sales in 2005. The success of those sales led them to seek a permanent storefront in 2013, and since then, the business has exploded mostly thanks to word of mouth, Sala says. “We hardly do any advertising. We think if people like us, they’ll tell their friends. We rely on that, and having good customer service.”

My family went to Showhome furniture this afternoon. What an amazing furniture shop! The kids were entertained with a fairy scavenger hunt so my husband & I had over 30 minutes of uninterrupted time to shop for dining room chairs. We were assisted by Emily. She is very knowledgeable, helpful, friendly, & has a no pressure approach that was very appreciated. We ended up buying 8 dining room chairs and a beautiful large rustic coffee table. Great family run local business!
Customer service these days can be an oxymoron unless you’re shopping in Showhome Furniture’s showroom at North Hill Mall. Selection and quality are beyond belief and the staff let you wander at your leisure, but close if you need questions asked. Sales associate and designer Lease was a gem and I encourage anyone needing furniture for their home or business to give them a visit first.
I am very impressed with what Showhome Furniture has shown, both in terms of service and furniture items offered, so I feel comfortable and do not hesitate to buy my furniture needs.
I ordered a three seats sofa from the Showhome furniture on July 6. They told me the sofa will be ready for pick up in 8 to 10 weeks. I called on Sept. 13 and they told me the sofa still hasn’t been shipped from the manufacturer yet. It might need three more weeks to arrive ….. so disappointed!!!!
I am excited to tell you that we found everything we were looking for at Showhome Furniture! Jill was our salesperson and met all our expectations! Family owned business and Canadian made furniture meant a lot to us! Will never look anywhere else! Very pleasant and surprised shopping experience!
