We have purchased a 80K lounge suite from Bakos which had to be exchanged and took many months. also bought leather dining chairs, beginning of year crazy sale- down 50% 3 years back we paid R3000 per chair on sale, the chairs arrived I was disappointed as the wood on the legs was such poor quality but after the drama with the lounge suite I just didn't have the energy . after treating it with their leather treatment for leather that the seating area is cracking.... im told that our leather chairs are in fact imported VINYL chairs and not leather at all- why was I then sold "leather "chairs as well as the "leather" treatment .Candice then proceeded to tell me that the price R3K should tell me its not leather, I told her that it was the sale price ….and I for one don't like being sold and item under false pretenses they should advertise their items as Vinyl chairs not Leather chairs and sell their client leather treatment for years...…. Bakos items meant to last only 3 years?

The Bakos Brothers Legacy was established in 1971. The Brothers dynamic vision and entrepreneurial flair lead them to their first retail furniture store in Rissik Street Johannesburg.

Having an unmatched passion for elegant living and service finesse etched in their souls, each brother divided their time and expertise between themselves in the Company. This saw the growth of the business into a second Bakos Brothers store in Johannesburg.

Together with the launch of television in South Africa this was marked as a monumental occasion. The Brothers wasted no time in grabbing hold of the gap that blatantly presented itself in the South African market, as a number one television retailer.

At this stage the Company had grown, diversifying into property development. In 1977 the Brothers set out to revitalize the Nelspruit nest with a shopping centre with the eldest of the five, Dennis Bakos, pioneering the troop. This shopping centre was to be a first time innovation in the Mpumalanga Province.
