About Us

We are a Friendly, Non-Commissioned Team

Knock on Wood has proudly been servicing Peterborough and surrounding area since 1989. Our business has grown to serve and deliver quality products that include sofas, chairs, dining furniture, accent furniture, bedding and more from the GTA to Kingston and cottage country on a weekly basis.

 

Our focus is to provide our customers with unique and high-quality Canadian made furniture. This effort combined with our excellent customer service has resulted in a customer base that reaches far outside our local market.

 

With a non-commissioned sales team we offer a relaxed “no pressure” shopping environment for our customers. Our team provides experienced free design service, expert advice, and knowledge on product quality features / benefits and furniture brands to provide you the best value while helping you achieve your vision.

Stop In and Take Your Time

Furniture feels different in person than it looks online. A sofa can seem perfect in a photo, then sit too low or too firm once you're in it. If you're hunting for a furniture store Peterborough locals can walk into and just look around, come by 440 George St N. Sit on things. Run your hand over the fabric. See the colour in daylight. Take a few laps if you want to.


What to Bring With You

A little prep goes a long way. If you can, bring:

  • Room measurements, including doorways and stairwells
  • A few phone photos of the space
  • A paint chip, curtain scrap or flooring sample
  • A rough budget you're comfortable with

Don't have any of that? Come anyway. We can sort it out together.


Think About How You Live

High end furniture Peterborough buyers choose should earn its place in your home, so think about who'll actually use it. Kids climbing on the sofa? A dog who claims the corner? Do you host big dinners, or eat at the counter most nights? Those answers matter as much as the style. They narrow down the choices fast, so you end up with something that suits your home and your routine, not just the store.
