I'm not a fan of Super A-mart whose showroom is chook full of cheap-looking, student -style…read morefurniture without the student prices. The warping chipboards on their book shelves and flimsy mattresses on the bed frames make me suspect their durability. On the plus side, the Macgregor showrooms are huge. There's one big shed dedicated to outdoor furnishings, another shed for office and a third shed for indoor lounge/ dining. The first time I came here, I didn't appreciate the distance between the showrooms. By the time I walked to the third shed (in the midday sun), I was dehydrated. Points go to their excellent vending machine facilities in the third shed. Perhaps they've had too many customers faint while walking the length of their showroom. For future reference, it's much better to drive you car around to park at the specific shed you are after. Super A-mart is worth checking out during the sales if you are looking at furnishing student accommodation at relatively cheaper prices.

I understand this is considered cheap furniture here, but at this price level at an equivalent…read morestore in Canada (where I come from ), the quality would be about 50% of what it is here. Wood items are mostly solid wood, there's lots of leather and mostly leather furniture, fabric quality is good, and now that we have the furniture in our home, I can tell you everything is perfectly comfortable. They have three separate showrooms, one for living room, one for bedroom, and one for outdoors. Prices are pretty good, at a little more than half of what you might find at just about any furniture store. Delivery was quick and painless and customer service was not bad, either. One of our items arrived damaged, but they replaced it right away with no questions asked.

This seems pretty permanent for a pop up shop, but considering I couldn't find a phone number…read moreonline it may be. I wandered in while walking past, and aside from some cheap (vinyl) bar stools at the front there wasn't much more to attract. There was a wooden bed for $299 which I thought looked OK, but all of their couches were either leather or outdoor, and nothing was much cheaper than $800. Probably not where I'll visit when I'm refurnishing.

I have never met anyone who doesn't love to sleep. It's bliss! So when it comes to buying a…read moremattress it's like going on a date. You have to make sure you are the right fit for each other, and that there won't be any problems down the line. Sleep City were very helpful in all departments! The lady who helped me out, Maree, was lovely and definitely wanted me to save as much money as possible. Mattresses are expensive bloody things, so you want to make sure you're getting a good product for the amount you pay. After many horizontal tests and rolling around in display beds, a mattress was finally chosen! Hoorah! Couch surfing can cease! They also organised some pain-free delivery! Sleep City have a great range of mattresses at much more reasonable prices than the big chain bedding stores. The service was delightful and if I need a new one in 10 years time (when the warranty runs out) then I hope Sleep City are still around.

When we got to the store we were met by Greg who helped us throughout. We got to try the robot bed…read morethat prints out a report on the mattresses best suited. We then tried six mattresses in a range of prices for five minutes each. Greg would leave us to have some privacy when trying before directing us to the next sample. We found him knowledgeable and unobtrusive. He even switched test pillows he felt were suited to our neck profile. There was no pressure to buy. However he told us there is a discount for RACQ members which we would not otherwise have found out. You can pay by a variety of cards including Amex, cash or they can give you their back account details. Three thumbs up.

If you wanted to be treated with customer DIS-Service, then Harvey Norman Oxley in Qld is for you!…read moreI went in to purchase a whitegood and was told to wait for the manager at the back of the store to organise this special order. I watched the manager continue to serve other customers who came in after me, waiting over 20 minutes. He was told by another staff member I was waiting, but that didn't seem to matter to him. Was told the reason was that I was not served was that the store was experiencing higher than normal foot traffic- as I was in store, when the store opened, I actually saw this was not the case. A great excuse to justify poor treatment of customers! The next day, went to a competitor, negotiated $400 off the same product and free delivery. I will never purchase from this store again, nor do I recommend it to others! If I could give 0 stars I would.

They have 2 huge stores next to each other here, one which sells the appliances and computer stuff (toasters, TV, Vacuums, washing machines, computer games, electronic stuff and freezers in general) and the other which sells your bedding and furniture and flooring. It's all you really need. I first thought prices here would be expensive, but after going literally across the road to another huge superstore, we ended up buying most of our furniture and bedding and appliances from Harvey Norman. They will match prices, they will give you discounts here and there and tthey are always pretty damn competitive without being desperate. They also have a huge range of flooring and it seems they're trying to if not already are monopolizing the market so all the other smaller flooring and carpetting shops can't compete. They have an extensive range of wood and lino flooring and well, let's say they were our one stop shop for our new home and new home renovation and fitting out. We were really happy with the service and price we got here, and we sure did shop around as you do on a budget with a massive new mortgage on your hands. I wouldn't hesitate actually I have already recommended them to many of my friends looking to furnish their new house or rental property with stuff. It's a great place to start.
