Dennetts is a family owned shop that specialise in high seat, fireside chairs and riser recliner…read morechairs. They also sell living room furniture such as tables, sofas and table chairs. It's pretty rare that I come across a furniture store that specialises in furniture for the elderly so Dennets made a nice change. Nothing cost more than £200.00 which I thought was very decently priced and is probably more of a relief to their usual customer. Even though the styles didn't appeal to me in anyway their chairs and sofas are so comfy it was a struggle to get up! I'd recommend Dennetts for elderly and for people who just want some comfortable furniture (no matter what the look.)

Wharton's are a family business. They have been around since 1970. Back then, the business revolved…read morepredominantly around buying and selling antiques, and a little later, pine furniture. From the earliest days of trading, operations revolved around maintaining the careful balance between cost and quality, providing exceptional value for money and combining ease of delivery to the customer. It worked for Wharton's. Pine furniture is getting bigger and bigger, and with the influx of cheaper pine goods (both in build quality and price) from abroad, the market became oversupplied and we were are seeing the same type furniture on every high street. Wharton's of Shirley have recognised this and as a result have moved away from just pine and use a wider array of materials. This reflects the quality of their furniture. Next time you want a new table, bypass the chain stores and come to Wharton's.

The bright colours, modern designs and unique sculptures are what persuaded me to come here. They…read morereally have some interesting and modern designs here. The room sets are great and are made from good quality material. That said, some of the designs aren't to my liking but they probably are to somebody else's. As nice as the designs are they are very pricey- a simple centre table piece of a man painted red cost one hundred pounds! As well as that some of the furniture isn't much different to those at larger places like Ikea and you could probably purchase something similar for a lower price elsewhere The staff were friendly enough to ask how I was doing but not helpful as they didn't seem to know much about the products. As for my first experience at dwell I thought it was a good place to admire some exclusive and contemporary pieces of furniture and various other pieces for decor. Unfortunately the prices are too much for someone like me to consider buying anything.

That said, some of the accessories are simply nasty £200 dor a diamante encrusted skull? Glossing over that, the room sets are great and the quality good. Staff aren't too helpful, we were told there was a collection point and there wasn't, so we had a nightmare transporting our purchases to the car, but we're extremely pleased with them.

This is one of the most diverse garden centres I've come across. There's a great outside area that…read moreis literally cluttered with plants, from fruit growing to small indoor varieties. I bought a Chinese lantern plant from here, which kept me great company in my first year at University (until I forgot to water it and it died). As well as plants, Ambleside sells aquatic pets at great prices. I have a tropical tank at home, and many of the fish I've bought originated from here. They also sell little terrapins in store, which I'm always tempted to purchase. Ambleside is the home of Earlswood cheese, which can be found at Moseley Farmers Market. They have a much wider selection here, and sell my favourite the Warwickshire Truckle. Other delicatessen-type food can be bought from the garden centre too. It is a little pricey, but tastes delicious. At the back of Ambleside, you'll find a cafe/restaurant serving a wide range of herbal teas, coffees, cakes and snacks. Again, the cafe is a little costly, but you'll definitely be tempted to try something different, because the menu is very unusual. I bought a cup of Buddha's Eyebrow tea from here once. It was quite peculiar! Of a night, the cafe opens out into a restaurant. I am yet to sample the evening menu here, but I do intend to very soon. On your way out, you'll pass the counter, and you might end up missing the friendly dog that lives here if he's sleeping. He is great with kids and gets very excited to greet new people, which adds an extra memorable touch to this garden centre.
