MacKenzie Furniture & Appliances storefront in Prince Rupert

Prince Rupert, BC · Proudly Canadian

Serving the Community Since 1923

MacKenzie Furniture has been part of this community for over a hundred years — through boom and quiet, through generations of families building their lives on the coast of British Columbia.

Our Story

Born Where the Rainforest Meets the Sea

Prince Rupert isn't an easy place to live — the weather is formidable, the winters are long, and the nearest city is a ferry ride and a drive away. That's exactly why what happens inside a home matters so much here. A well-made sofa, a dining table that fits the whole family, a bed frame that lasts decades — these aren't luxuries on the North Coast. They're how people make a life.

MacKenzie Furniture opened in 1923, when Prince Rupert was still finding its footing as a port city. Over the decades we've stayed independent, stayed local, and stayed committed to the simple belief that good furniture — and the people who help you choose it — makes a real difference.

"Furnishing Prince Rupert and area for 102 years and counting."

A Century in Brief

How We Got Here

1923

MacKenzie Furniture opens in Prince Rupert, serving a growing port city hungry to furnish its homes.

Mid-Century

We grow alongside the community, expanding our range as Prince Rupert's fishing and forestry industries bring new families to the coast.

1980s – 2000s

As the retail landscape changes, we double down on what big-box stores can't offer: local knowledge, honest advice, and long-term relationships.

Today

Still locally owned, still on the same coast. Carrying top brands — Ashley Furniture, Samsung, KitchenAid — alongside the personal service that's defined us for a century.

What We Believe

Four Things That Haven't Changed in a Hundred Years

Home Is Everything

On the North Coast, home isn't just where you sleep — it's where you weather the storms. We take that seriously.

Community First

We've watched generations grow up, move out, and come back to furnish their own homes. That continuity means something to us.

Quality Over Volume

We carry brands we trust, from manufacturers we believe in. We'd rather stock less and stand behind every piece.

Honest Advice

We're not here to upsell. We're here to help you find what works — for your space, your family, your budget.

Haida Gwaii & Beyond
