Big names include sleepeasy, memory foam and so on. Best service I have had is actually from the manager Co*in so you need to ask for him by name as he doesnt generally do sales. This store often has good sales so watch out for them. Bought most of our recent stuff from here

I had a fairly complicated problem with projector/speaker connections and he didnt try to sell me the most expensive solution and worked out what i had been figuring out for days in a couple of minutes. Very impressed with the approach to customer service! Highly recommended chain of shops! Have had good experiences in London shops too. Will be returning frequently!

They have massive stock and an even bigger stock of components that I would have usually ordered from the internet, in this case, a laser diode, and they could give me the advice that I needed without anyone having to water things down too much. The staff are also very friendly, and its a pleasant shop to just stroll around and do some window shopping!

The first time I went to Eldon Square, I thought that this was the anchor tenant because of how sheer the size was from outside. I was proven wrong however by the huge branches of John Lewis, Fenwick and Marks & Sparks later in the centre. The mens department is large and they have the best selection out of any New Look store I've visited. Most city centre stores are messy, claustrophobic and dark but this new shop is bright, fabulous and modern. It is on 3 floors and there is easy access between them with a staircase, escalators and even a lift providing access to the upper floors. (Unlike the old store) The accessories bit is great as well and I always end up making some last minute purchases when I'm queuing! Not a great layout. I read an article that shops put the essentials at the back/on a high floor so that you go through the whole shop. Well it certainly works alright!

Love Wilko's!! My personal 'go to' place for any home essentials at a bargain price!…read more There's always an offer to be had on cleaning products which understandably no one likes to pay a hefty price for, and there is a pretty sizeable interior decoration section upstairs with all the basics you might need to decorate your bathroom, living room, kitchen, bedroom or garden! Yes it's cheap but actually a lot of it is pretty decent quality too. If your home is in need of a refurb without breaking the bank balance then Wilko's is your store! If you're a sucker for pick n mix at the cinema I'd recommend getting yourself here as they sell Candy King sweets at much cheaper prices. Sometimes a flashback to childhood is just medicine! The only downsides to Wilko's are that the staff always seem irritated if you ask them anything and you will normally have to queue for a fair bit at the tills even when it's quiet.

Hands down I am a huge Wilkinsons fan! After four years of depriving myself from Wilko goodies, I…read moream happy to say that Wilkinsons is still the cheap, reliable place I remember it to be. This is the type of store great for bargain hunters wanting to add some flourish and essentials to their house. This store is huge so I haven't explored it much beyond the pet and stationery sections (the most important bits!) YET, but I can say that these departments are well stocked with a wide selection. As you enter, there's escalators going upstairs to the home department and a cafe, to the right are back-to-school deals and food with 5 till points beyond that. Deeper into the store on the right is the stationery section (which has a good range off DIY and card making goodies) and the pet section is further in with another entrance/exit at the back of the store. The pet aisle is quite big with a good range of own brand treats and branded treats that don't come with the supermarket price tags. The only reason why I'm giving a four-star rating is that there are definitely not enough staff on the tills so the queue was quite long. Also I noticed a lot of dust around and on products... a few more staff members wouldn't go amiss.

They stock everything from Cushion Covers & Duvet Covers to Candles, bath mats, bedroom furniture, pictures, craft making sets and much, much more. I go to this shop at least twice a month to see what new offers and reductions have been made. They have outlets all over the UK and whenever you want some space or some alone time, its the perfect place as the outlets are usually really big and spaced out and very rarely get really busy. This has to be my favourite shop ever.
