As long as there's no metal, it should be ok. With the harsh winters we have here and only 3-4 months you'll use your balcony, I personally would not spend a lot on patio furniture. Go to the cheaper stores, or even wait until the end of the season to get a good deal.

Good news, economy is doing well!

Frances, can you post the price lists? Thanks

Pre construction King West is around $600-700 psf and then $900-1000 for the higher end buildings like Festival Tower. That's with no parking. Add another $35k for parking. I think $370,700 minus 3% is fair given the large balcony. It's not an amazing deal, but you're not getting ripped off...
