Modern Furniture In Canada

DeBoer's Furniture has been established in Canada since 1950 however its roots go back to the early 1900s. Jan de Boer and his sons operated a store on a ship in Holland, traveling from town to town selling housewares and small home furnishings. In the 1930s they decided to open their first on-land store in the town of Hoogeveen. This first Jan de Boer store still operates in the same building today.


In the late 1940s, Jans son Anne decided he would leave Holland and immigrate to Canada. The threat of another war and painful memories of being in a concentration camp during WW II left Anne longing for a land of new opportunities.

Once in Canada, Anne tried his hand in a wholesale business before establishing his first retail store DeBoer's Furniture in 1950. Anne would travel to Holland and Scandinavia and bring a unique blend of quality modern home furnishings to Toronto. Torontonians loved this new look and over the years DeBoer's grew to include four showrooms in Toronto and one in Ottawa.

Annes values and vision for the business continue today tasteful, quality home furnishings at reasonable prices and excellent customer service. DeBoer's has always offered complimentary design services to help clients plan the room of their dreams and make the shopping experience a pleasure.

Annes son John and granddaughter Suanne still travel the world in search of a unique blend of furnishings for their clients.
