Most people’s first apartments had floors lined with raw oatmeal, a re-purposed Twister mat for a bed, and a showerhead that intermittently drizzled viscous, jet-black fluid and liquid police sirens. Now that you have the pad of your dreams, pick up some pad padding with today's deal: for $50, you get $200 worth of furniture at The Table & Chair Co. on Meg Drive.

The Table & Chair Co. outfits London's human habitats with a wide array of brand-name furniture, focusing its inventory on Canadian manufacturers and custom orders. Capture the elusive feng-shui dragon with wares from Ashley, Sealy, Decor-Rest, Canadel, Lane, and others, stocking the living room, bedroom, dining room, and fainting parlour with stacks of armoires or a herd of sofa-tables. Cast aside the lumpy, hay-stuffed futons of youth and commandeer a queen mattress set ($499+) and sofa ($699+), for separation of sleeping and sitting surfaces. The a la carte menu boasts bar stools ($59.95+), task chairs ($69), faux leather Parson chairs ($99), and Dimplex electric fireplaces ($199). The Table & Chair Co. also showcases home-theatre furnishings, patio accessories, bookcases, and a number of homey elements easily perusable from their spacious showroom off Exeter Road, just minutes from White Oaks Mall.
