"Just to put in writing what I told you on the phone this morning - your two delivery guys (one of whom was Cesar) who brought my screens this morning were just super. They set up the screens, humoured me by moving them around, and did everything they could to make sure that I was happy with the results - which I certainly am. Being in the customer service side of this office, I appreciate good service when I get it."

See what the "Shoestring Shopping Guide" says about us:

"This is a Canadian company that has been in business for more than 42 years renting and selling mid- to high-end residential and office furniture both new and rental returns, primarily to Movie Production Companies, Model Suites, and Executive Offices. We found desks from $50, steno chairs from $25 and swivel tilters from $50. They also have household furniture that is displayed in their 15,000 square foot showroom. You can find sofas for as little as $200, beds from $125 and table lamps for as low as $10."

Bruce M. Forster, Designer, Executive Furnishings of the Toronto Economic Summit, writes:

"Every once in a while there comes a project that is very special. Such a project has been the Toronto Economic Summit.

The requirements were stringent, with tight deadlines and no room for error. For those reasons, the demand was great for people that understood the ramifications and would be able to meet the expectations.

You and your associates have risen to the challenge, met it, and come through with flying colours.

This letter is only a small way to express my appreciation with your contribution to the success of the Summit. I can assure you that everyone involved, from the Prime Minister on down, is delighted with the results.

Once again, thank you very much."

Monica Hunter, Materials & Services Coordinator for Imperial Oil Limited, writes:

"We would like to acknowledge and express our appreciation of your firm's supply and installation of rented office furniture.

This is the first time our department has rented such large quantities - approximately 180 offices on 2 floors. The fact that we required delivery in four weeks and only had available two weekends for installation was also a major challenge.

Your firm's positive response 'CAN DO' and your personal attention ensured the offices were set up for business on schedule. We would consider using your firm in future for any rental office furniture requirements."

Lily Murty, in Corporate Facilities of Crown Life, writes:

"I would like to express my gratitude to your men who delivered and installed rental furniture on Friday, July 10, 1992. Namely, Barry, Cesar, Oscar and Al. We had a few set backs due to a problem with trucks not fitting into the loading dock which meant off-loading in the street. Also the moving crew, which were here at the same time, had the same problem which meant their staff and yours criss-crossing to gain access to the elevators.

Throughout this whole evening, your staff were very helpful, polite and extremely patient, even though they were here into the wee hours of the morning.

I would also like to thank you for the quick response to our request for rental furniture on virtually no advance notice.

It has been a pleasure dealing with your company."

Dr. Gregg Van Volkenburgh, Chief-Operations, The Blueprint Initiative, The Samuel Lunenfeld Research Institute, Mount Sinai Hospital,writes:

"Just a note to say "Thanks!" I verified that the furniture was picked up today. The count should be OK, but if it is not, let me know.

We really appreciated Dominion Furniture Rental's fast and courteous service. As we grew we knew we could call up and ask for another 5 desks, or a meeting table, or chairs, and have them almost instantly. And the chairs were even comfortable!

I am asking our Finance Department to tell the buyers at SHSS about Dominion, so that if they have short term rental furniture needs, they will consider the company. Thanks again."
