A bit of a odd shop here — it has the style and presentation of a swanky home store but the prices don’t match so your immediate thought is that it is actually cheap and nasty. Any fears will go when you talk to the lovely owners — a couple of guys who I’m guessing have worked their way up from a pokey little shop in out of town high streets to get this high-profile spot opposite the train station. They know their stuff, have a down to earth attitude and don’t try and push sales onto you. I bought my bed frame from here, which they delivered promptly and carried up my stairs. I chose to put it together myself and the instructions were clear as a bell. It was really well made and has survived being taken apart and back again when we had to get it out of the way to put carpets in. They also sell mirrors, bedside tables and dining tables. They have a choice of woods ranging from pine to oak so you can find what will suit your budget. If you’re stuck just ask as they know their stock inside out and what they have coming in soon as well.

Person from Bristol in buying furniture from somewhere other than IKEA scandal! We went here after we bought our house and I’ve aways thought of their products as being a bit cheap and nasty. However, I’ve since noticed that the stuff that has since broken was either: a) put together by me, or b) broken by me when I fell over. Everything else is still fine five years later. It sits opposite Temple Meads and they sell complete sets of wooden bedroom furniture, beds, tables, mirrors and the like. They have friendly staff who will help you carry your goods to their handy off street car park around the back. Once you get it back, make sure you: a) apply the requisite amount of glue, and b) dry your feet when you get out of the shower. Do this and you can get a bargain!

Though Ikea is good for some furnature(like bookcases), I prefer solid wood items if possible. I saw their ad in the newspaper and we decided to have a look in person for a check on the quality of the furniture. The shop is opposite Temple Meads Train Station, and they have limited free parking behind the shop as well as across the street. There is also a parking garage located nearby behind the Holiday Inn to park in. The shop has a large selection of solid wood furniture, mostly made from oak, ash and pine. They have complete sets for your bedroom, dining room, living room or office and there is a range of styles to choose from. Most of it is well made, though a few pieces look to be off less quality. We purchased an oak chair and plan on returning for more pieces in the near future. The prices are quite good, especially for solid wood furniture! The staff are very knowledgable about the specs of the pieces. They are very helpful and, if you purchase something to take with you, have staff available to help put it in your car.
