Sorry Bo-Concept - but I really was not impressed…read more Yes, you have a lot of attractive furniture. Yes, some of your smaller homeware pieces aren't too overpriced (especially in the sale). But that's where my positives stop. First up, for a so-called upmarket furniture store, I thought this place was actually really grubby. A bit of floor mopping wouldn't have gone amiss, and you'd have been wise to have removed the used coffee cups from your £400 dining tables. Secondly, your staff were not welcoming. We were given some really dirty looks by a certain member of your staff, and that was even before I'd (quite loudly) complained about the aforementioned coffee cups. And thirdly - a piece of your pretentious £350 "artwork" (you know the type, where someone has typed out a lot of cliched so-called life advice on a canvas in different fonts) had a pretty serious spelling mistake in it. And don't try telling me that was intentional. Next time I want to spend a large chunk of my hard earned cash on some furniture - I won't be doing it here.

Ah, The Bo Concept. I've always gazed in those hallowed windows wishing for the day to come where I…read morecould spent 50 quid on a trendy cushion. Went in for the first time today because after reading those last wonderful reviews, I was overcome with morbid curiosity! Poe-faced Concept doesn't fail to disappoint on the arrogance front - although I wasn't given the cold, hard stare I expected from staff, I was largely ignored by them, which suited me fine since I could act like a fly on the wall and be left in peace. I obviously look poor - that's fine guys, it's entirely true! But you can't condemn a girl for dreaming! Since I've been subtly branded a poor working class girl, my cankered fingers had to surrepticiously reach for the price tag...I had to stop my jaw from dropping when I saw it was 150 quid for an EX DISPLAY lamp. Yes, that's right - Ex Display. Bugger off. Even if there ever comes a day when i have money to burn frivolously on items such as these, I doubt I would ever bother. Sure, they looked pretty but seriously, get real. If you were loaded, some trendy items in here may appeal - some of the stock is undeniably beautiful. Unfortunately, this place lacks the innovation and laid back vibe of Habitat, nor does it possess the charm and imaginative quirk of its West End rivals. It announces new arrivals in the window like we should roll out the red carpet for their overpriced (but, got to admit, nice) sofas - there's just something a bit off about this place. By all means go for a browse as they have some lovely stock but interior design competition has sprung up all over the place. So although Bo Concept may have been top dog a few years back, it's going to have to change its stand offish aura before it can attract a wider audience. And as Eleanor said, the richest people are quite often the least likely to flaunt it, so never judge a book by its deceptively dog-eared cover. You'll lose business if you do.

When I walked in (woman over 50) there were three men inside the desk who completely ignored me. I…read moreasked about laminated worktops and the boy threw his thumb over his shoulder and said 'they are over there'. That was it. No one came to help me in the five minutes or so I stood looking trying to work out what was what in terms of makes and pricing. During this time a man came into the shop, clearly a friend of one of the men inside the counter. They started speaking in very animated voices, swearing and chatting in a manner I did not think was very good for other customers. When I asked for help, one of the men came over and seemed very bored by my queries. When he said that he couldn't get a certain worktop for two weeks I said I would need it sooner and he looked at me like I was completely daft. He did not offer further help or make any suggestions. It would appear that Rearo do not read their reviews as the user in 2010 was treated in the same way. B & Q are really much nicer, more respectful to their customers and although a big store I am definitely choosing it in the future. I would also say to women that PLEASE do not use this store. Two men came in in the time I was there and were helped straight away.
