I've been popping in and out of this shop for many years. From memory it wasn't always a St Mary's…read moreoutlet, but it's always been a second hand furniture shop. As this is a charity outlet and depends on the donations of the local community for its stock, what is available tends to change. That said, what they do have is always of a fairly high standard for 2nd hand goods. You can get bed frames, sofas, armchairs and various other bits of household furniture. St Marys is a hospice on Raddlebarn Road in Selly Park and this one of several outlets they have in the area (there is also a 'standard' charity shop just around the corner from this one) so if you find something you are looking for here you will be supporting a very local charity cause, which is an extra incentive.

I first contacted Steve at Sofafix just after the first lockdown and I was very impressed with his…read moreprofessionalism, honesty and quality of workmanship. Jump ahead to right now, I finally managed to get my own affairs in order so that Sofafix could do what they do best and fix my sofa! From the very start, Steve was punctual and precise in his dealings with me. My sofas were taken in a state that could be best described as "ready for the tip". Steve and his colleague Jane moved everything for me and even helped with advice on what would work best when giving our sofas a new lease of life. Our entire suite (which seats up to 10 people) was recovered and rejuvenated in no time at all. The quality of Steve and Jane's work is simply the best. Our suite was returned to us looking as good as new. When I considered what they looked like before going to Steve, the finished result was nothing short of a miracle. It isn't just ourselves who have been impressed with Sofafix, we have had visitors who have complimented on our "new" sofas such is the quality of the work which has been done. I am very, very pleased with Sofafix, Steve and Jane. Together, they changed our sofa suite from an embarrassment into something we can once again be proud of. I would strongly recommend Sofafix for any as well as all of your upholstery needs.

Thank you Alan and Amanda…read more Wanting cushions made to suit a 3/4 circular wrought ironseat we struggled to find a supplier. We gave up a couple of times but then lighted upon A H Furnishings. Cannot say just how pleased we are to have found Alan and Amanda. From the start they were helpful and eager to help us arrive at a good looking and workable solution. Today I collected the finished seat and back cushions and they look superb.

Kays Furniture is a family run business that has been running since 2000. Kays provide furniture…read morefor all rooms of the home including bedroom furniture, living room furniture as well as dining room furniture. I have to say the items on sale are very impressive. The sofas on sale were very comfortable and the designs on the kitchen and dining tables were very intricate but clever. They were however very expensive and that is one thing that would put me off coming to Kays Furniture again. But then again Furniture stores are always going to have expensive items on display are they not? Kays Furniture specialises in Italian furniture and as well as visiting the store, you can also go online to see the products being sold at Kays. I have to say the beds were pretty comfortable as well. Not that I actually slept in them. But sitting on them felt comfy. Staff know their furniture inside out at Kays so do fire away with your questions if you do have any. It is a pretty expensive store but there are some impressive items on sale at Kays.

My wife and I have bought a few different items from Theocus since it opened a couple of years ago…read moreand made use of the upholstery service on occasion and are trully impressed by both the quality of the products and the level of service. Our last purchase was a hand-crafted lamp which we bought this Christmas. It is quite unlike anything we have seen anywhere else and feels like something that might get passed on to future generations. The owner of the shop is part of a dying breed of shop owners who actually cares about his customers and is willing to go the extra mile for them and it is this that makes it stand out for us. There is also the shop itself which is like entering an aladin's cave - definitely worth visiting even if just to look around.
