Sauchiehall Street, City Centre

Sorry Bo-Concept - but I really was not impressed…read more Yes, you have a lot of attractive furniture. Yes, some of your smaller homeware pieces aren't too overpriced (especially in the sale). But that's where my positives stop. First up, for a so-called upmarket furniture store, I thought this place was actually really grubby. A bit of floor mopping wouldn't have gone amiss, and you'd have been wise to have removed the used coffee cups from your £400 dining tables. Secondly, your staff were not welcoming. We were given some really dirty looks by a certain member of your staff, and that was even before I'd (quite loudly) complained about the aforementioned coffee cups. And thirdly - a piece of your pretentious £350 "artwork" (you know the type, where someone has typed out a lot of cliched so-called life advice on a canvas in different fonts) had a pretty serious spelling mistake in it. And don't try telling me that was intentional. Next time I want to spend a large chunk of my hard earned cash on some furniture - I won't be doing it here.

Ah, The Bo Concept. I've always gazed in those hallowed windows wishing for the day to come where I…read morecould spent 50 quid on a trendy cushion. Went in for the first time today because after reading those last wonderful reviews, I was overcome with morbid curiosity! Poe-faced Concept doesn't fail to disappoint on the arrogance front - although I wasn't given the cold, hard stare I expected from staff, I was largely ignored by them, which suited me fine since I could act like a fly on the wall and be left in peace. I obviously look poor - that's fine guys, it's entirely true! But you can't condemn a girl for dreaming! Since I've been subtly branded a poor working class girl, my cankered fingers had to surrepticiously reach for the price tag...I had to stop my jaw from dropping when I saw it was 150 quid for an EX DISPLAY lamp. Yes, that's right - Ex Display. Bugger off. Even if there ever comes a day when i have money to burn frivolously on items such as these, I doubt I would ever bother. Sure, they looked pretty but seriously, get real. If you were loaded, some trendy items in here may appeal - some of the stock is undeniably beautiful. Unfortunately, this place lacks the innovation and laid back vibe of Habitat, nor does it possess the charm and imaginative quirk of its West End rivals. It announces new arrivals in the window like we should roll out the red carpet for their overpriced (but, got to admit, nice) sofas - there's just something a bit off about this place. By all means go for a browse as they have some lovely stock but interior design competition has sprung up all over the place. So although Bo Concept may have been top dog a few years back, it's going to have to change its stand offish aura before it can attract a wider audience. And as Eleanor said, the richest people are quite often the least likely to flaunt it, so never judge a book by its deceptively dog-eared cover. You'll lose business if you do.

This is a great place if you've got kids! Although I have to say perhaps more for a rainy day than…read morethe sunny one I went in on. With a kiln on site the place is about 10 degrees hotter than outside! They have a mum and baby morning between 10 and 12 on Tuesdays and another I believe on a Thursday but I would check that beforehand. For £5 you can get a cup of coffee and a small coaster to paint. You can always pay more for any of the other items. As well as just being able to paint the pottery you can have casts made of your wee ones hands and feet. There is also a soft play area for older toddlers if they get bored of painting! The reasons why I couldn't give this place a five was firstly the heat and secondly the price of anything else you should wish to paint....it was quite expensive! The staff are absolutely lovely in here and so helpful. The next rainy day I reckon we'll be in again. The place is also quite buggy friendly too.

The Cermaic Experience is a franchise which has branches throughout Scotland, including one in…read moreStirling, close to where I live. This one in Marchmont is like the others and allows, children, mothers' groups and even hen parties to come in and decorate their own mugs, plates and bowls. It's actually quite a good idea and seems to appeal to schools for days out and parents can relax in the cafe whislt their children paint ceramic stuff or enjoy themselves in the soft play area. I'm not sure how the hen parties work, but inside they advertise it as a raucous BYO wine affair, the perfect beginning to a girls' night out apparantly.
