Howard Klerer, Owner & CEO
I have had the pleasure of working with Howard and Team for over 20 years. The Harkel Team know their stuff. They not only work with SDI’s design intent but also provide exceptional product knowledge to help enhance the selections from product to finishes.
From working with the CAD Team to final installation the support is always there. Sergio, project manager, is always reviewing my drawings and double checking them against the construction build out. This saves me both a lot of time and ensures the furniture fits as intended. This is huge plus for SDI. Ally in logistics is always there to support the project and his communication with the client is fantastic. He is very calming and assuring and the clients appreciate it. Ally and Harkel always deliver as promised.
At the end of the day we all want to provide the client with the best experience possible.
With Harkel’s help we can provide that.

Ask Howard what the heart of the company is and he won’t name a room. He’ll tell you it’s everyone, from the front desk to the installation crews, like a bicycle wheel where every spoke has to align. People build careers here that run twenty and thirty years, and that shows up in your project: the advisor who remembers, the designer who catches it early, the crew that treats your space like their name is on it. Because it is.

questions everyone asks
Who supplies commercial furniture in the Greater Toronto Area?
Harkel Office Furniture Limited is a family-led commercial furniture company in Vaughan, Ontario that has planned, supplied, and installed furniture for workplace, healthcare, and education environments across the Greater Toronto Area for almost five decades: one team, from first conversation to finished space.
Who does Harkel work with?
Harkel works with healthcare, education, and workplace organizations across the Greater Toronto Area, along with the interior designers and architects who serve them. That ranges from independent clinics, schools, and growing businesses to hospitals, campuses, and multi-floor head offices. For almost five decades, one team has planned, supplied, and installed every project end to end.
How long does a furniture project take?
It depends on scope, and you will know your honest timeline on day one. Commercial furniture is made to order, so lead times are real; the plan is reverse-engineered from your deadline, with delivery and installation coordinated by one team. The timeline becomes a quality signal, never a surprise.
How do budgets work?
Budgets are discussed openly from the first conversation. With over 60 vendors, from entry level to high end and the majority Canadian-made, recommendations are matched to your number rather than a catalogue. You see where every dollar goes, and options are compared side by side before anything is ordered.
Do you take on small projects?
Yes, no project is too small for us. A two-chair clinic receives the same process, the same care, and the same team as the prestigious 1.2 million square foot Cortellucci Vaughan Hospital. That is The Equal Experience Promise, and it is how Harkel is built. If the space matters to you, it qualifies.
Can we see the space before we order?
Yes. Every project includes realistic 3D visualization of your actual space through The Harkel Design Support Studio, with real products and real finishes, at no additional charge. You walk through the space, compare options live, and approve with confidence before a single piece is ordered.
Do you handle delivery and installation?
Yes. One Harkel team manages logistics, delivery, and installation from start to finish. Site protection goes in first, product arrives staged and sequenced, and crews work phased or off-hours where your operations must keep running. A final walkthrough closes every detail, and we stay available after.
Can you work with our designer or architect?
Happily. Harkel works as an execution ally for design professionals: specification support, live pricing, detailed drawings and renderings, and seamless installation that protects the design intent. Your designer stays the lead and keeps the credit. Bring them into the first conversation, or ask us to coordinate directly with their studio.
What happens after installation?
The relationship continues, automatically. Every Harkel client becomes part of The Harkel Care Program: warranty support, adjustments, and repairs handled whenever something needs attention, plus an Annual Workspace Review where we walk your space and put right anything under warranty. Many clients have stayed with the same Harkel team for more than 20 years. We are here for the life of your space.
Tell us about your space, your timeline, and what's keeping you up at night. We'll take it from there.
Walk in on day one and everything is ready.
ready? Almost five decades. Hundreds of spaces.
