A lovely little Ottawa shop

I have always been happy with the purchases I've made at the Modern Shop. Because of covid we are not able to shop in person, but I purchased some lights, by Muuto, that I originally saw on a Finnish website, I wanted to support local, and Canadian. Email communication has always been speedy. Shipment has been slow but that is because of Covid, everything is a little slower, especially international. One of the lights was broken when I went to pick it up, but they are re-ordering, and I'm looking forward to having the 2 lights installed once it arrives.

Very satisfied with my purchase and here's a real, no BS review : I ordered kaleido trays by Hay. The products were marked as in-stock when I ordered but, after not receiving a shipment notification for a few days, I sent an email to inquire what was going on. They quickly replied to tell me the color I had ordered wasn't in stock. They apologized and gave me the option to either wait a couple of weeks for it to arrive or replace it with a different color they had in stock. With that many products to manage, I understand that the online inventory can't always be a 100% accurate. I was in no rush so I chose to wait. I received the shipment notification with a tracking number last week, and my order arrived yesterday. I was neatly packaged and I'm very happy with the product. I would buy again without any hesitation. Thanks!

I would not recommend ordering through the Modern Shop. I ordered multiple items online. After having no news for a few weeks when I got an email stating that my order was shipped, I finally got an email stating my order was lost by the shipping company (after I inquired). The shipping number was incorrect and the shipping company lost my furniture. I called, and left a few messages. They did not return my calls and only wanted to communicated via email. Modern Shop seemed to assume no fault on the shipping company’s lost. After 4 months, the only response I keep getting is that the shipping company does not want to open a claim and that I have to wait. (weeks, months) The Modern Shop should assume the shipping company’s fault and propose solutions. (what steps are being taken, what is a normal time frame, what is the claims process, why was not a second order placed, compensation, …)

Purchased 4 beautiful Hay chairs. Delivery took more than 3 months but I expected that. One chair had a cracked leg and I received a replacement for that part within a week. I was pleased with their service. They offer cool design products. I would buy there again.

I have dealt with a number of staff in the store for purchases online and always feel welcome and helpful with great efforts. Fast, efficient and to the point communication with reasonably prompt shipping (depends on orders and manufacturers) and I am happy with their business and would like to give a Five star recommendation to potential buyers.

The Modern Shop stocks the most well known brands in industrial design. If you're in the market for new furniture or even small souvenirs, The Modern Shop has a wide selection of beautifully curated selections. They have sales a few times a year: once on Boxing Day, another at the beginning of summer, and an unannounced flash sale at some point in between. Even at full price, you can't go wrong purchasing a beautifully designed table, chair, or coaster that you'll use every day and feel joy using it. Try it :)
