The Range

Sweet holy moly of reasonably priced furniture heaven! I jadour this place big time. Furniture, household accessories, art and craft gear, art, garden and garden furniture, pets, lighting oh my gosh I could go on and on and on. They also have a half decent café at the back of the place. This isn’t John Lewis granted but there are good quality products for your home at a good price. Who can argue!?! That’s right no you can’t!
For all those crafty guys out there I really like the huge selection they dedicate to art and crafts. The paint and wallpaper section isn’t amazing but it depends on what you’re looking for. I’m here all the time so holla at me if you see a stressed out woman wheeling two kids about in a trolley ;)

I am in here constantly that I now recognise the managers face and he has begun to follow me because I’m in so much it’s starting to look suspicious but honestly I am not a thief I just love the stuff you can buy. I wouldn’t recommend the puppy shampoo though as it makes my puppy itch but apart from that I have covered my flat with things from the range; rugs, curtains, cushions, everything and all great quality and a good price. I love that after all that shopping there is a relaxing café to rest my weary legs and grab a cuppa and cake. I mean seriously who needs ikea when you have The Range!

The Range is, for us golden oldies, is the Woolworths of the modern age. You youngsters won’t remember good olé Woolies, since replaced by gaudy B&M stores and such like. I bought the best mugs and garlic presses out of Woolies, they are still with me now, having outlived more expensive kitchen fancies bought in finer stores.
Anyhoo, The Range satisfies my love for roaming around massive warehouses packed full of things you never thought you would need but Must Have Now. For me, it was a vegetable scrubber in the shape of a potato (other vegetable options are available). It defines Cheap and Cheerful in a big way.
The pet section was decent, and prices definitely undermine others in the area, so it will be a definite stop on the way home for us when we need new supplies. However, if you need paint, fabric, kitchen utensils, or a board game for the kids, The Range has it covered. The perfect shop for students and the budget minded alike.

First time I’ve been in The Range and was kind of expecting a half baked version of Homebase but I was very impressed with the size of the store, the product range was awesome and I expect if you can’t find it here then you wont find it anywhere.
I found their unbranded products to be of high quality and snapped up their semi-​synthetic engine oil for only £4.99 for a 1 litre bottle. I also tried their own brand duck tape to secure a repair to my car aerial and this has worked a treat proving to be water proof as described.
The out of town location meant parking was cheap and easy. The store was well heated so shopping is pleasant whereas some B&Q stores are on the chilly side. Overall with such a wide product range, pleasant environment and friendly staff I would have no hesitation in recommending this store.

This place is awesome. I think it might actually LITERALLY have everything!
It is basically a huge warehouse full of everything and broken up into sections; Christmas, storage, crafts, bedding, kitchen, sofas, etc.
It is fairly cheap and cheerful so I would go there expecting to find something that will last you for years but if you’re moving house or need a few bits and bobs then this is definitely somewhere you should consider for your first port of call.
They even sell fake stuffed reindeer heads and cuddle chairs!

Wow the store has loads of departments! Atrs and crafts, wall décor, storage, cake decorating, home decorating, home decors, kids toys, cushions and and the list goes on.
I went on it’s opening day so the car parked was hysterically busy but managed to find a space and it didn’t take me over 5 mins. The wholes that appear whilst Big W was there have been filled in thankfully.
This sore is huge but manage to get around fine although it was insanely busy but not problem at all. I seemed to answer two questions to fellow customers that I could answer — bizarre but hey! One was about pens that i had used before and they were for rendering (fashion, interiors, exteriors etc) and the other one answer was a stool i found in ikea and me and this women needed one because we are too small to reach the top shelves in our kitchen ha ha.
I found a cake decorating aile, oh man perfecto! As some of you know I own a cake business so hence I lile these things so so just had a looooong look at the products that were on offer.
Service was very quick, friendly and efficient and the queues eased off because of this.
Happy days!
