If you have your heart set on a specific US sofa or table, get a freight-forwarding quote before you buy — once crating, oversized freight, and import charges are added, the all-in cost often doubles the sticker price. For everyday furniture, Canadian brands like EQ3, Article, and Structube deliver the same organic modern look without the cross-border headache. Save the forwarding route for smaller, hard-to-find decor where the math actually works.
