Article is a Canadian direct-to-consumer furniture and decor brand that has become a favorite among Apartment Therapy editors. Based in Vancouver, the company was founded by technology professionals turned design enthusiasts and has spent more than a decade selling furniture online, particularly pieces influenced by mid-century modern and Scandinavian design.
The brand’s range also covers Scandinavian, boho and coastal aesthetics. Article positions its products as high-quality, high-end pieces at more accessible prices than luxury competitors. Prices vary by product, with full-price sofas ranging from $699 to $4,799.
Article operates primarily online, a model that helps it keep prices more reasonable. It currently has stores in Vancouver and Toronto, Canada, as well as a location in San Francisco’s Design District. The company also provides extensive product photography and video to support online purchasing.
Assembly times depend on the product, although Article says most items can be assembled in less than an hour. Customers who prefer not to assemble their furniture can choose the company’s White Glove delivery service, which includes assembly.
Standard delivery costs $59 within Article’s service area and brings orders to the front door on a scheduled date and time. Small items and orders under $200 are shipped by courier for a $19 fee. An in-room delivery option costs $119 and places the order in the room selected by the customer; because the delivery takes place inside the home, a signature is required.
Article also offers White Glove delivery and assembly for $199. The service includes unpacking, assembling the order and removing the boxes and packing materials. Customers should measure doorways and available space beforehand to ensure furniture will fit both in its packaging and once assembled.
Apartment Therapy editors, including the writer of the original review, report owning and recommending several Article pieces. The brand’s combination of modern design, relatively accessible pricing and online shopping is presented as its main appeal, with products ranging from storage-focused side tables to mid-century modern sofas.
