I may be wrong, but I think this is the only independent furniture retailer left in Nottingham…read moreafter the sad demise of Nash Interiors. I have bought bed/sofa/chairs over the years from here, and like to have a wander and window shop occasionally. It has some wonderful, quirky items and soon has me redecorating (mentally that is!). It has a huge range of carpets/rugs and flooring and an even bigger selection of fabrics. The slaes staff all know what they are talking about too!! A rarity in these days of sell it and sell it cheap! It has a coffee shop, but last time I was there it didn't even do a cappacino! So no points there, but then that isn't why you go. I thoroughly reccommend a visit. We will all be the poorer if Hopewells goes too, and it is not that much more expensive, particularly at sale time.

The quality of service is also excellent - we recently had hard floors fitted by Hopewells throughout the ground floor of our house and are very happy with the quality. The showroom is great for a browse, with ranges of smaller items including crockery and cutlery as well as furniture.

I was unsure about how to use eBay and didn't really want to advertise it in the papers as I work long hours. I contacted Bridge Street Furniture after noticing that they buy furniture. The gentleman who visited me offered a very good price for my items and was very careful when he came to collect them.

Masseys has been in the Swadlincote area for as long as I can remember, with a shop in the town…read morecentre, selling just about anything you can think of and a larger store selling big pieces of machinery like mowers, strimmers just out of town. They have now both been amalgamated into a larger superstore just north of Swadlincote Ski Centre. An impressive looking building with a large glass fronted façade, and a sizeable gated car park, this place is a DIY enthusiast and small business person's dream location! I wouldn't class myself as falling into either of those categories, but you can pretty much get anything for the home and garden from here, and the staff actually know what they're talking about, offering salient advice on request. On entry, there are the largest ride-on mowers I have ever seen, costing nearly as much as my car! The lower floor is packed with a fantastic range of paint, wallpaper, bathroom and kitchen fittings, as well as workwear, and a sizeable cookware area in the corner, that would outdo many stand-alone kitchenware shops. To the back of the ground floor is an area for fencing and other outdoor products for your garden. Up the sweeping stairs to the second floor is largely dedicated to the garden too, with a fantastic range of mowers, strimmers, garden tools, barbecues etc. This is also the location of the Massey's café, which has a good range of hot and cold food, made to order, as well as home-made cakes and scones, the cheese scones being particularly fine. A good range of hot and cold drinks too, but be warned, the coffee is exceptionally strong! I like my coffee, but this is like rocket fuel! All in all a great store, but it is a bit of walk from the town centre, if you don't drive.

There are two of these shops in the East Midlands, this one in Shepshed near Loughborough and the…read moreother in Ilkeston (Derbyshire). Both are fairly close to the M1 and have good parking. The Shepshed one is well sized and offers a good range of ladies and mens clothing. You want find cutting edge fashion in here and most of the lines are aimed at middle age upwards. However if you are after a suit/outfit for a wedding or other occasion it's well worth a visit as you can pick up some real bargains. On my last visit I saw a pretty tasty, well cut dark pin stripe suit for £30! If you are a bloke who's usually seen in jeans and t-shirt and need a budget suit for that one off occasion you can't go wrong! For the more adventurous there are an entertaining amount of almost psychedelic patterned and coloured casual jackets - great for your inner dandy'! Its also very handy for outdoor clothing, fleeces, waterproofs etc. Womenswear is not quite as exciting but my partner managed to pick up a very nice evening dress last year for £20 possibly a Klass There is also a small furniture department with some nice pieces, though the prices are not as good as the clothing. Upstairs boasts an adequate range of house and kitchen wear prices range from budget to reasonable. There is also a nicely sized cafe that serves hot meals and drinks. However like a lot of backwoods places in small towns they stop serving meals at 2pm hot sandwhiches and chips are avalible up until 4pm though. The car park is on the other side of the street to the mill so be careful when crossing!

What lets Armstrong Mill down is there cafe. False advertising on the menu that has a scone with clotted cream and jam on the picture but when ordered, told by staff they don't do clotted cream but I can having whipped cream or butter. Chocolate tiffin was pure cheap cooking chocolate hardly had and cherry a or biscuit in also found hard pieces with in the tiffin. Also the drinks are very over priced along with the little biscuits.

Fairly priced and a pleasure to do busines with. Unfortunately soon after delivery a friend split red wine on the valance of one sofa.
