FAQ's

  • Is STiL open and operating?
    Yes, absolutely! And we are so thankful to be busy during this unprecidented time. Thank you to all of our wonderful customers who keep us afloat! We are located at TradeSpace in Calgary, 4030 8th St. SE. Please email info@stil.store to arrange a visit.
  • Is STiL pricing affected?
    At the moment, our Canadian Supplier of our True Wood Collection has had to close thier doors due to Covid. Thankefully we are able to get the same materials, but have to order from the US so our pricing has been affected and our per sheet price has increased by $70.00/sheet. Delivery surcharges for materials may be a factor, but so far we have not had to deal with this.
  • Has Ikea been affected?
    Yes! One of the largest companies in the world is also facing challenges due to Covid-19. Although things change daily, here is what we've experienced: -Deliveres are difficult to arrange or are scheduled 2ish months away. -Click & Collect is often at capacity. -Some items are out of stock and have to be placed on backorder. -Although there is a line-up, in-store shopping is the best option at this time.

  • STiL Reveal - It’s all in the details and STiL pays attention to them!
    STiL Reveal is a detail that provides a polished look between your cabinets and counters. It is a product we’ve designed to allow your counters to float off of the cabinet fronts with a ½” finished edge reveal. This is a great option if you’re wanting your counters to be flush with the front of your cabinet fronts. STiL Reveal replaces the metal support brackets for the installation of solid surfaces. Countertop companies love them because it provides a much more solid substrate for the counters to sit on.
