Unicorn Home Furniture is the kind of furniture shop that hates Ikea, as it sells similar items at…read moreslightly higher prices, because not everyone can be huge multinational company and offer furniture at ridiculously low prices. They have a huge range of beds, wardrobes, dining tables and chests of drawers here, all at reasonable prices. The furniture isn't stunning, but then it won't break the bank and it will do what it's meant to do. The staff are friendly and the vibe is quiet. You could wander around here and have a good luck at everything here without people hassling you to make a sale. Oh and they sell carpets too. A bit of everything really and much closer than Ikea.

My parents bought a wardrobe set with matching bed side table and also a dressing table from here. Everything looked fine and dandy when they came to fit it, however, afterwards when they had left and we were putting things in we noticed there were a LOT of scratches all over the wood inside the door and there was also what seemed like ROT on the corner of the shelf inside. We also discovered a loose knut that hadn't been drilled in properly so we had to use our own screwdriver to do it, even though we had to PAY for the guys to fit it for us. What took the mick even further was when I opened up a drawer on the bedside table, there were some CRISPS and LEAVES inside. What the hell? It makes me think whether the set was new or whether it was a show room one. We rang up to complain and they said to send in photos of the evidence we found in email to them, which we duly did but have never gotten a reply off them which is very unprofessional and sly. I could never recommend this place based on my experience and will warn everyone NOT to consider it. The quality is no better than what you get in Ikea anyway, but at least when things go wrong in Ikea, you can take it back.

If you've ever rented a furnished flat in the centre of Manchester then you'll know the kind of…read morestuff that I'm about to describe. You know those leathery, squeaky, not-quite-as-big-as-you-would-like two-seater couches? Glass TV and coffee tables that are slightly rickety and look a bit naff? Those dining tables that have a glass top and don't look very nice? Basically, Land of Furniture sells all of those things. They have so many three piece sweets. Not one would I personally buy, being of the yucky, squeaky, leathery variety. They all cost about a grand too. The shop is full of the things, so much that it's a almost bursting at the seams with them. They're on the walls even. Maybe I'm just a bit too young and student-y to appreciate a nice leatherish sofa.

As my friends will tell you, I love a bargain. I have been known to buy things I don't need or even…read morelike, because they've been cheap. I always get a good feeling when I grab a bargain, more so when it's something I actually want. And when it's for charity, well that makes it even better! The Wes, as it is affectionately known by locals, runs entirely on donations and voluntary work and aims to help those who might not be able to afford to furnish their homes by offering everything they sell at incredibly low prices. A fridge will set you back £25, a washing machine £35 and you can pick up a double bed for £20. It's a great place to go if you're just setting up house; me and the boyf got a dining table with four chairs, and a bedside table, for £60. The dining set is incredible quality, and the chairs are very similar to ones sold in M&S for £150 a pair. Needless to say, I was pretty chuffed with that particular bargain. As well as a fantastic furniture section, the Wes has a great section of bric a brac, where we picked up two camping chairs for festival season for £10. This section sells clothes, shoes and household bits and bobs, and there is a great book section, with books from as little as 20p. The Wesley prides itself on supplying low price furniture "to those in greatest need from all over the City of Manchester". As if its low prices weren't enough, they also offer 'starter' packs for £50-80, for those who have very low incomes and who can get a referral letter from the council, or social services. These starter packs are a great resource for those who are really in need. The Wes is a fantastic hidden gem with a real heart of gold. All of the money spent on furniture here goes to the running of the centre, and it's such a good cause that it makes me feel even better about grabbing a bargain.

A treasure trove of second hand & vintage items!…read more This is a charity shop which funds the work of the Mustard Tree. They support vulnerable people across Greater Manchester in a variety of ways. This shop is a couple of minutes walk down Oldham Road, just out of the end of the Northern Quarter. They have a huge range of second hand items including furniture, white goods (but not cookers), clothing, bric a brac, electricals and entertainment items like vinyl. Everything is very reasonably priced as you would expect and they get some amazing vintage items in. They offer delivery for either £5 or £10 depending on the distance which is much cheaper than most other local charities. They also accept donations of items and can collect furniture for free on their vans. Call their office to book in a collection of you want to donate or you drop things like clothing off at their site. Check the website for opening times. It's well worth the extra small walk out of the main city centre to have a rummage in this hidden gem!

I left with: 1 double bed (frame) 1 single bed (frame) 1 double wardrobe 1 single wardrobe 1 chest of drawers 1 bookcase 4 kitchen chairs 1 hallway unit All look very nice, all very functional. Combined cost: £253. Add on a tenner and they delivered the whole lot, carried each piece into the correct room etc. NB: CASH ONLY. They know where the nearest ATM is, but don't get caught out.

It is darkly lit and almost like walking into a trendy wine bar as you enter its sophisticated doorway. This is not a place for antiques or vintage finds, Dwell is exclusively for contemporary living- it does not sell furniture, it sells "pieces" darling and it is a place where furniture lovers will find the focal point they have been searching for, for their designer pads. Every room in the house is catered for in a sleek and stylish fashion; sofas are angular and impressive, dining chairs are futuristic and the beds look straight out of MTV Cribs. The lighting section is second to none, and I am in awe of the pendant wine glass chandelier which costs £199 and is a real talking point. Dwell is simply good taste and prices vary from the affordable to the expensive- another light fixture which has caught my eye is £600. Dwell is a supermodel of a furniture shop, traditionalists will hate it, but post modernists will adore it. The staff are friendly and its customer base favour city centre thirty-somethings with a bit of cash. If you fancy splashing out for your urban dwelling then Dwell is right up your busy, congested, city street.
