Guff TorontoGUFF is one vintage furniture store where you can count on finding some steals, not the least of which might include an antique solid oak dresser for $345, or a pair of Leif Jacobsen walnut cabinets for $165 each. The people at GUFF are awesome at updating their blog regularly, saving couch-dwellers like me a trip to Queen and Jones in order to browse the new arrivals.

Great finds at GUFF! Bought a gorgeous teak bookcase with smoked glass for 195, and a teak&glass sidetable/coffee table for $95. Total steal!

Poor customer service and argumentative staff. Drove there today, an employee or owner parked their "bike" in front of the store on the street, as I pulled in behind and refused to move the bike from where the coin meter is. Could not believe how rude they were and refused to move their bike that had no business on the street parking. I use to like this store, but not any longer. GUFF became a little successful and it's gone to their head. And I'm taking my money elsewhere. Any mediocre finds now has a high ticket tag. You often get what you pay for and their stuff is cheap. Few treasures just junk. No way to justify high prices. Most cheap recycled/refurbished junk. The dealers are smart to pick the good stuff because these guys no little about what they do. Rude and dumb....a holes.

Surprised to read Jay's comment. I've only ever encountered great customer service at GUFF, and their pieces are always in decent shape and fairly priced. Definitely one of the best -- if not THE best -- vintage furniture stores in the city.

Here's their blog: http://guffonline.blogspot.com.

GUFF is fantastic and I have no clue where jay get's his story from...I've purchased multiple items on multiple occasions from GUFF and have been very happy with my experiences there. Everyone I know that's been will say the same thing, GUFF is great.

NOTHING but praise for this place--great prices, great customer service, NO ATTITUDE!

Found the place by chance while venturing further east on Queen (after my nasty experiences with those pompous pricks at Phil'z)and have never looked back. The proprietor / clerk who tends to be at the desk a lot when I am there (mostly weekends) is knowledgeable, helpful, sweet, and sincere.

Not sure about Jay's issue but perhaps someone else was there when he had his run in.

Fingers crossed they stay the same and NEVER let their deserved success get to their heads.

I have to agree with everyone EXCEPT Jay. There really is no attitude at this place. I've bought numerous items here for very fair prices. The delivery service has also been no fuss and prompt. And the blog is fantastic. More shops in the city would see way more business if they followed suit.

Top marks all the way GUFF. Don't ever change.
