Our Story

Vybe is built on four core principles: exceptional craftsmanship, outstanding customer service, fast & free shipping, and a commitment to designing and handcrafting modern, affordable solid wood furniture.

What began as a personal need for a coffee table quickly grew into something more. When Barry O’Sullivan immigrated from Ireland in 2017, he was struck by how much of the furniture available in big-box stores was both overpriced and poorly made.

That experience sparked a mission, to create high-quality, handmade, ethically sourced solid wood furniture that’s built to last.

 

       

 

The Vybe Difference?

  • We handcraft everything you see in our store - from raw wood to the finished product, shipped direct to you from Québec
  • The majority of the furniture sold in stores or online today is mass produced, imported and highly processed. They are built from chemically produced materials like particle board - wood chips bonded together with resin and hidden beneath a paper-thin veneer of wood.
  • Our pieces are built with real, solid woods - Pine, Oak & Maple, from sustainable FSC certified forests in Québec & Ontario. Every piece is individually crafted, creating its own unique beauty
  • By selling direct to you we cut out logistics, warehousing, transport, showrooms, salespeople. These savings are passed directly on to you
  • We offer customization in all the sizes and styles and sometimes take on unique projects
  • Our furniture lasts for life and can be re-finished multiple times, an advantage of using solid wood
  • Moving house? It's as easy as screwing the legs off, boxing it and re attaching them in your new place
  • Along with the quality of our product customer service is our main priority, we aren't happy if you're not

 

Our Commitment to the Environment

  • We use wood from local, sustainable FSC certified forests.
  • With us, you are buying a product hand crafted in Canada and not imported from overseas - our carbon footprint is significantly lower than most furniture retailers.
  • Our packaging is 99% recyclable, and we recycle 70% of our production waste.
  • Our shop is powered by 100% renewable hydro electricity.

 

Thanks for shopping with us!
