If you want to ooooh and ahhh at furniture then this is definitely the place for you...
So for years Dwell have sent me their dreamy catalogue and for years I have happily sat ripping out items adding them to my home makeover mood board (it's a rather large board, their furniture is just gorgeous!). Then, when I decided that after 12 years I needed to grow up and have a table and chairs like a proper adult this was my obvious starting place.
Sadly the fab table I wanted was too big for my space, sob, so I reluctantly chose one from elsewhere but I did settle on some gorgeous walnut and white padded dining chairs.
The great thing about this shop is that they carry a large stock selection, much more than the Princes Square store, so I was able to go in and sit on said chairs to try them out for comfort. While doing so the staff were only too happy to assist, asking if I wanted the chair moved to a table so I could see what that would be like too.
Decision made, these were definitely the chairs I wanted. Delivery to home incurred a hefty charge (the usual...) so I ordered for free store delivery instead as I live just a couple of miles away. The store phoned when they arrived in and even took them out to the car for me, such brilliant service!
I may have also purchased an awesome (but completely unnecessary!) floor lamp in their sale on one of my visits and again, I didn't have to lift a finger as it was taken to my car too.
All in, a great store located just off London Road with plenty parking, vast selection of furniture and home accessories, and great, friendly service. Not the cheapest of furniture but they tend to have 15 or 20% off full price items fairly regularly so keep an eye out for that :-D read more
