SLATE (South Leeds Alternative Trading Enterprise) is a second hand furniture shop, opposite The…read moreRange in Hunslet, which is 'a social enterprise providing work opportunities for people with learning difficulties'. I got that bit off the website so I wasn't un-pc about it. Mostly I like SLATE because of the bargainous second hand furniture, but you have to go on a Thursday or Friday because that's when they get their new stuff in. On a Wednesday it's a bit empty. Also they 'sell' second hand Dysons for a five pound donation (ahem), which they put together from parts from broken ones. There's some legal thing though which is why it's a 'donation', I don't know, someone explained it to me and I got confused. One time we went here when the minibuses were being loaded up and some man shouted either 'SAUSAGE! SAUSAGE! SAUSAGE!' at us or it might have been 'TOSSERS! TOSSERS! TOSSERS!', we couldn't tell. It was a bit unnerving.

What a house of wonder! Chase really isn't kidding when he says it sells everything, it really does…read moresell pretty much everything you might need for your home. From cleaning products, kitchen items, DIY bits and bobs, cheap snacks, cards and so much more - they've got it covered. If you're a keen shopper/browser it's a veritable treasure chest to explore. My particular favourite is the upstairs section. Here's where the items get slightly less bargainous and become a little higher end... They've beds, lamps and all other kinds of home furnishings in a range of styles. Faux-antique right through to the more modern sleek look. I bought an awesome 'telephone box' lamp for my room at home, which is so kitsch and delightful and only set me back £15. (I can imagine it costing a ton more in a vintage shop!) My Mum was particularly overjoyed with a red painted vase that she picked up as well, of which they had many different shades! So, there's plenty to get excited about, and not too pricey as well. However, all that glitters is not gold. I did come away having purchased a few oil reed scent dispensers (the pots of oils with the wooden reeds) and they simply don't work at all. They were only a pound each, but I can see why they were so cheap as they give off no scent at all! Even so, I'm pleased as punch with my lamp so that more than makes up for it!

It was the first time I'd been in a shop which I cannot categorize by what it sells, IT SELLS EVERYTHING !! From bleach to crisps, rugs to xbox games, they have almost everything under one roof. The only thing I can say lets it down is a lack of electrical goods like TV's but if you're looking for a pack of brass tacks and a birthday card for auntie Mabel this is a good place to start........ and if you're feeling tired you can nip upstairs and pretend you're testing a bed out :)

They pride themselves on some of the North's leading contemporary designers and their furniture is sheer class.
