Harveys Furniture is my favourite furniture store in the Peel Centre, it had much better service…read moreand selection than DFS nearby, it is a rather large store although slightly smaller than nearby DFS, with Bensons for Beds occupying the upper level of this store with a lift between the two making it fully accessible. I came here with a new sofa in mind, I had a very specific idea of what I wanted in a new sofa which was: - A two-seater yet not too large as it had to fit in my small living room - Comfortable yet I didn't care for more premium features such as reclining - Armrests which were spacious yet not too high (to act as a mini table if you will to rest my laptop) I'm pleased to say I was able to find a sofa to match my specifications, unlike at DFS nearby and the staff member seemed really helpful, one thing I liked was she didn't care about her commission, she cared about getting me the right sofa and delivering good service: she had no problem taking me to the clearance range first and helped explained about the product and how it was firm due to only coming in a few days ago where it was returned by a customer who changed her mind. I did have to wait a little while for her to confirm everything and communicate with the delivery driver as I did live over 15 miles away, I only came to this store as it is the easiest for me to get to via public transport, with it only being around 3/4 of a mile from Stockport Railway Station which is around 7-18 minutes on the train from Manchester, with the quicker services being with Avanti West Coast and CrossCountry. I was told that as it was a clearance item I couldn't pay on finance but that was fine as I had no intention of doing that anyway, the only slightly frustrating thing for me was the high delivery charge compared to other sofa places, but I was willing to pay it as £69 is only a little bit more than the £30-£40 average charge and considering I do live a little further out, and this was a bespoke product (there was only one) I liked which already had a good reduction in price at £479 and they could even deliver it the same day within a couple of hours, I was pleased with that. Harvey's also had genuinely lovely people as the staff, as my original server had too many customers at once, someone else who was free took over and they actually tried to persuade each other to take the commission on my order, I've never seen staff fight over why the other worker should get the bonus before, it wasn't an aggressive fight, it was just a friendly chat between friends more than anything, and if Harvey's are listening they both deserved it for excellent service! I would have liked to see a better selection of other items such as tables, however, and more of a variety of colours on their clearance range would have also been more exciting, but still, a rather good furniture shop where I finally found my sofa! 4*

I like this shop, not only because they are cheap but they really help you out here…read more My mum needed some new furniture, and as you do you go everywhere. The first ones being mainly IKEA or something obvious. Then one day, whilst in Hyde we stumbled across this shop and went in and was amazed with the offers they had in here. The place is large and has lots of choice for customers. They are there to help you and not take your money. My mum explained to them what she wanted and they helped her with measurements etc. They really are nice people. So if you are looking for a new piece of furniture or something, then don't follow the rest. Find this shop and all your problems (furniture ones) will be solved. FACT

This store is quite…read morelarge ad stock all sorts of furniture like nests of tables and chairs and stools, ornaments and mirrors and photo frames as well as soft furnishings: curtains cushions, throws and of course masses of material for the haberdashers amongst us. The prices are reasonable, although "bankrupt" implies something on par with poundland, its not quite that cheap, but you'll find a bargain. I'm not sure whether a delivery servce is available as lots of the items are quite large and bulky I should think there would be.

I always get a good feeling when I grab a bargain, more so when it's something I actually want. And when it's for charity, well that makes it even better! The Wes, as it is affectionately known by locals, runs entirely on donations and voluntary work and aims to help those who might not be able to afford to furnish their homes by offering everything they sell at incredibly low prices. A fridge will set you back £25, a washing machine £35 and you can pick up a double bed for £20. It's a great place to go if you're just setting up house; me and the boyf got a dining table with four chairs, and a bedside table, for £60. The dining set is incredible quality, and the chairs are very similar to ones sold in M&S for £150 a pair. Needless to say, I was pretty chuffed with that particular bargain. As well as a fantastic furniture section, the Wes has a great section of bric a brac, where we picked up two camping chairs for festival season for £10. This section sells clothes, shoes and household bits and bobs, and there is a great book section, with books from as little as 20p. The Wesley prides itself on supplying low price furniture "to those in greatest need from all over the City of Manchester". As if its low prices weren't enough, they also offer 'starter' packs for £50-80, for those who have very low incomes and who can get a referral letter from the council, or social services. These starter packs are a great resource for those who are really in need. The Wes is a fantastic hidden gem with a real heart of gold. All of the money spent on furniture here goes to the running of the centre, and it's such a good cause that it makes me feel even better about grabbing a bargain.

Pleased with the standard of quality of this furniture, which is all at competitive prices.read more

I'm guessing the first one is plain stupid (well stupid is as stupid does) so I got y sorry looking butt down to Red Brick Mill. What a pleasant find it is too. They pride themselves on some of the North's leading contemporary designers and their furniture is sheer class. They are home to 35 cutting-edge designers and there is enough inspiration to keep even my motor mouth quiet for an hour or so. If you want to jazz up your lounge, no problem. Slick and chic sofas sit along side funky tables. You'll even find plush flooring, cookware and gifts. It's quite pricey but sometimes money does buy taste and it shows here. Add to that four cafes to refresh those flagging shopping legs and it's worth a punt. A definite reason to venture into Batley and spruce up the house in your life.

There are three floors of pre-war furniture, household objects, chandeliers, toys, medals, vintage jewellery and other collectibles. Over the years I've noticed the prices going up a little but it's still great value for money. The last time I went I came away with a beautiful vintage sewing box that I found amongst various ornaments and bric-á-brac. In the basement you'll find a café which does a mean weekend breakfast and serves good food throughout the day. The building itself is also noteworthy. Built in 1898, it was originally the Town Hall. The original mouldings and green tiles are still existence. The Antiques Village is a five minute walk from Levenshulme Station and a ten minute drive from Manchester City Centre.

Welcome to the Vintage Village! I've been to a lot of vintage markets and shops in my time. Once, I even travelled all the way up to Edinburgh for a coat, I brought back over £40 worth of vinyl and a 56 year old fur from Glasgow and I've been known to scour our little Manchester boutiques for hours at a time. But what Stockport offered last month just blew me away, knocked me sideways and had me gazing around open-mouthed like I did when I was taken to Disney World at six years old. This was epic. The quality was remarkable, the prices were insanely affordable and the sheer variety on offer was stunning. I defy you not to walk from stall to stall and see at least three things per section you covet. If you were to slap something not only like this, but of this calibre (exceptional quality, eclectic variety) bang in the middle of Manchester City Centre it would be completely overrun with fifteen-year-old Noel Fielding stalkers in knee socks and oversized Urban Outfitters jumpers (not that there's anything wrong with them - I've been known to rock a woolly from UO regularly and have frequent NSFW dreams about Mr Vince Noir myself), but as it's tucked away in a sleepy town centre in the South Manc 'burbs, it attracts a much calmer, quieter, more discerning clientele. Families bring along their children and have soup and bacon butties at Zip's Grill. Couples with dogs mooch around for gifts. It's incredibly relaxed and wonderfully friendly. I lost count of the amount of conversations I struck up with stall purveyors. This is worth getting out of bed on the day of rest for. Seriously, do it! You won't regret it. And if you do, come and have a go at me. I'll probably whup you upside the head. (P.S. Zip's Grill serves some of the finest coffee I've ever had the good fortune to taste, and the food looks all kinds of fabulous. I'll definitely have a soup this Sunday.)

If the truth be known, It was more my wife and sister in law who were the instigators in us going but I wanted to stretch my legs and go out for the afternoon so thought I would give it a shot! Gotta say, it was really really good and there were all sorts of stalls selling vintage clothes, records, antiques, furniture - pretty much anything from yesteryear. Nice touches were a skiffle band playing live, with a DJ playing hits from the likes of Elvis throughout and a load of vintage cars and motorbikes on display outside. Great street food was provided from the (both) excellent Lord of the Pies and Honest Crust Pizza. I'll definitely be heading there again in the coming months as it's a great day out and only a £1 entry - bargain!
