Be clear that this is not a paid post. The company didn’t ask me to blog about them; it’s the other way around. I was simply smitten by this company.

Several years ago, almost daily, a certain company was placing small black and white 3”x4” ads in the Philippine Daily Inquirer. I was impressed by their offerings and, one day, I decided to visit their showroom along Sgt. Rivera, Quezon City.

It was an awful experience! I was shown black and white “pictures” of the items I wanted to look at; they were inserted in very thick clear books. Can you imagine my disappointment? I felt like a kid who went to a toy store. But instead of real toys, I was shown pictures of toys, in black and white: (

The company, Dexterton Corporation, started its humble beginnings in 1962 as a hardware store along Rizal Avenue in Caloocan. It is now among the top 2,000 corporations in the Philippines with more than 200 employees.

Last October, I decided to drop by again at their eight-story showroom in Sgt. Rivera. This time, I was taken away by the experience. Their DIY section alone made me excited. I’m handy around the house and I have a decent-sized workshop in my garage filled with so many tools

The DIY section wasn’t as well-stocked during the shoot; they were replacing old inventories for the coming New Year.

This blog, by the way, is long overdue; I did the photo shoot at Dexterton as early as December 21 last year. I apologize to Ms. Jennifer Sy, Dexterton’s Marketing Executive, for the delay.

I took several pictures, but instead of posting them all here, I will post just one or two for each part of the house. The images in Dexterton’s website are much better than mine. I will just provide links to those images.

Before spending in other home fashion boutiques, I suggest you try Dexterton first. Their 8-story showroom plus another one beside it gives you an idea on the quantity and variety of their offerings. Their products come mostly from Europe, though; they also source from Hong Kong and other Asian countries, but none from mainland China, as far as I know.

Prices may not be cheap, but if you consider their quality and that many items can only be found at Dexterton, you’ll say they are reasonable.

Below is an item I found so interesting; it’s an executive chair by Inno.

This chair is so ergonomic that you can actually use it as a bed to sleep on. There are two footrests that extend out when you recline the backrest. The one on top is for, well… resting your feet on while lying down. The one underneath is used for anchoring your feet with while you do “sit-ups.” The backrest can be loosened and becomes spring-loaded to support your back while you’re doing sit-ups. There’s a set of rollers attached to the backrest that massage sweet spots on your back while you’re exercising.

I’m not so sure now where this chair belongs: in the office, bedroom or in the gym? : )

So, if you want home fashion items and accessories fit for kings and queens, visit Dexterton Corporation.

Thank you so much.
