I like this shop, not only because they are cheap but they really help you out here…read more My mum needed some new furniture, and as you do you go everywhere. The first ones being mainly IKEA or something obvious. Then one day, whilst in Hyde we stumbled across this shop and went in and was amazed with the offers they had in here. The place is large and has lots of choice for customers. They are there to help you and not take your money. My mum explained to them what she wanted and they helped her with measurements etc. They really are nice people. So if you are looking for a new piece of furniture or something, then don't follow the rest. Find this shop and all your problems (furniture ones) will be solved. FACT

Unfortunately I bought the IKEA poang chair and footstool only to find that upon unwrapping there was an incredibly pungent fishy smell!! Half a can of febreeze and two days later its still here!! Not happy. Apart from that I had a nice couple of hours there and picked up some bargains as well as having the Swedish meatballs in the cafe. Top tip: try the apple cider in the restaurant, it's beautiful! Or pick it up in the shop at the end if you're driving you won't regret it.

Moda Furnishings Sub-Standard Product Quality With Worthless 7 Year Guarantee…read more We spent a considerable amount of money on a supposedly UV resistant Moda Furnishings rattan style 8 seat table & chairs in November 2021. Last Summer we noticed a couple of rattan strips had broken, this Summer (2025) there are multiple strips broken on both the table and the Lazy Suzan. My guess is that the glass tabletop proves too much for the rattan in hot weather (when it would be in use). I approached Moda Furnishings in early August only to find that they had gone into administration in July 2023 and that they would not honour the 7 year guarantee. As they were bought out of liquidation by Giomani Designs Ltd, I then wrote to the Giomani. CEO. I received a phone call the following day to say that they would not honour the guarantee. They reluctantly agreed to put this in writing, but have failed to do so. Whilst I accept that they have no legal responsibility, I believe that they have an ethical and moral duty to honour the guarantee - especially as they are still marketing under the Moda Furnishings name. So, they benefit from the name but shirk the responsibility for, what in our case, turned out to be a sub-standard product. For us their guarantee has proved to be totally worthless. My advice is to steer well clear of Moda Furnishing products and their parent Giomani Designs Ltd.

I'm so disappointed. Filthy, damaged and no resolution still 2 weeks later…read more I'm so disappointed! With the good reviews I was excited to receive the 'quality' furniture to use for my husbands and sons birthday in May whilst the weather was nice during lockdown. If you want to see more true, unfiltered reviews you should check other review sites. they have many terrible reviews. Take a look at reviews.io When i unpackaged the furniture it was in a terrible state. I it was broken in various places, nicked, scratched and the table had nails going through screw holes so we couldn't assemble it if we wanted to. The packaging was FILTHY and the cushions inside were ALL stained. There was what seems like bird feaces over a lot of the rattan. I called up and told Moda right away. I was very understanding and told them that perhaps they had an issue with storage. I then sent through pictures of all the damage. It took them days to respond and that was just to ask for pictures which I had already sent. Then another few days passed so I chased up and had to go through the same thing again. I said that we may be able to retain it if they were to refund us a decent amount to reflect the 'second hand' condition of the set (but only if the stains came out in the wash). After quite some chasing they said that they would replace the set or give 150 back. Given the set cost nearly 2k this was not sufficient so we accepted the replacement and was told the delivery company would get in touch soon. I heard nothing until Sunday (2 WEEKS after the initial delivery and AFTER the birthdays and nice weather had passed) they emailed back stating that management need pictures. This was now the 4th time they asked for the pictures and the 4th time they had received them. So, we still have no furniture which we paid a lot of money for and I have to say I am very concerned about what state the replacement will be in because i really don't want to have to go through it all again.
