Very few stores offer layaway these days. I didn't even know what it was until I went into Surplus Furniture & Mattress Warehouse, located in Winnipeg at St. James Street. One of the sales representatives explained to me what layaway is and what it does for me. This was suited for my needs because I was to be a new homeowner in 3 months! Surplus has very simple bi-weekly payments, and sometimes I skipped days because of circumstances. During my layaway plan, I was browsing for a new sofa set on Surplus Furniture's website and noticed that my set went up in price! I immediately phoned the store and they told me that I didn't need to worry. I will still have the price that was before since it's on layaway. So with that said, it freezes the price of all that I purchased and still gave me the best deal possible! I got the furniture already and got it for less than the original purchase since they gave me a deal to have it delivered a little bit earlier than my layaway plan was supposed to be. I had a very positive experience with Surplus Furniture that I am highly recommending it to my friends and family. No doubt that they've got the best price around, yet still offers you the style and quality of the most expensive furniture store. One thing I would like to emphasize when purchasing furniture is to get the extended coverage. They offered me coverage for rips, tears, cuts, burns, and stains. I thought I wouldn't need that so I declined that offer. That’s the only mistake I made after purchasing mine. Since I live on my own, I didn't think anything would happen to it, until I invited my friends over. One of my buddies accidentally poked a hole into the cushions! - Surplus Customer
