DeBoer's Furniture has been established in Canada since 1950 however it’s roots go back to the early 1900’s. 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 1930’s 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 1940’s, Jan’s 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.

Anne’s 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.

Anne’s son John and granddaughter Suanne still travel the world in search of a unique blend of furnishings for their clients. The countries DeBoer's imports from today have expanded to include all of Europe, North America and the Far East. By watching trends emerge and purchasing directly from manufacturers, DeBoer's is able to offer the latest designs at the best price. Visit one DeBoer's today.
