Around since 2000, Golden Elite Deco Center is a distributor and manufacturer of wooden flooring and vanities. They have opened their doors to the public. The showroom features flooring, doors, vanities, kitchens, tiles (mosaic tiles, marble tiles and decking tiles) and adhesives selling at warehouse prices.

Floors start at $.79 and vanities at $399, doors start at $95 and mosaic tiles at $7.49. Kitchen cupboards for a 10 ft by 10 ft  kitchen can be bought for only $3,999.

On 2 weekends in Sept, they are inviting you to a free barbeque, some renovation classes and a chance to win a BBQ. While munching, you have an opportunity to peruse their showroom.

Here are the types of flooring they sell: hardwood flooring 3/4?, engineered flooring 1/2?, laminate flooring 12.3mm and 8mm, engineered floating floor and vinyl floors. The floors have 10-14 layers of varnish, 1 layer of aluminum oxide anti-scratch and are precision milled (installers love installing their wood because of the milling).

Since they are the manufacturer, you skip the expense of a middle-man so expect savings between 25%-40% which is quite good. Their sales staff is quite knowledgeable as they know the manufacturing process from A to Z, as well as details concerning maintenance, sanding, refinishing and installation.

The mattresses can even be pulled up into a TV headrest.

You can also order made-to-measure couches, sectionals, chairs and upholstered beds. Beds can be made to fit in any doorway, since they can come apart if needed. It only takes 4-6 weeks from the time you order it to the time you can enjoy sitting on it at home.
