Roman Furniture 'In Leeds Market' is a small furniture shop with many cheap prices and special…read moreoffers. Most of the furniture has a modern, stainless steel look. There are a few chairs with brightly-coloured seats or heart-shaped backs that you could imagine in a teenagers bedroom and quite a few lamps in many different styles, some with unusual glass beaded lamp shades and others with more traditional lamp shades with tassels. Smaller items include glass vases and a range of shaving mirrors. They also sell one or two cots, fish tanks and small shelving units. If you're in the market and you happen to be on the lookout for one or two pieces of cheap furniture it's worth having a look in Roman Furniture but it has a limited range and only really caters for those who like their furniture with a shiny modern look.

Basically, the chances of me randomly wandering about Mabgate (or there abouts) and stumbling upon it are zero, truth be told. Don't let that put you off finding it too though, it's dead easy to get to. Go through the car park behind the West Yorkshire Playhouse, and cross over the bridge. Turn right up the road and it's there in a minute. As you walk in you'll be confronted by a sea of knick-knacks, furniture, bric a brac. It's not tidy, it's not overly organised, but it's full and it's a proper treasure hunt. In some ways, it's similar to Poverty Aid -a huge space filled with a range of things, tons of antique cheap furniture, from wardrobes to chests to beds. There was even a piano and an old school writing desk, cheaper than you'd expect to pay as well. After all, it's still a charity shop, which means bargains are abound. The clothing section was a jumble, pretty messy, but that's where your inner explorer comes in. Seek and ye shall find, etc. I did come across a mental pair of home made harim pants, in the most bodacious blue ever, but even at a single English pound I wasn't sure I was cool enough to pull them off. There's a wee cafe too, if you need a caffeine break, and tons of literature on other local charities, events, and what Emmaus get up to to keep you clued in. Bonza. Basically, it'll always depend on what you're after as to whether you'll succeed in a shopping mission. But, it's well worth a right rummage for all you bargain hunters, treasure seekers, vintage magpies and so on. Take a wee wander, and have a look. Who knows what wonders you might find!

Emmaus is a total gem, if you manage to come across it. It is tucked away on the edge of town near…read morethe West Yorkshire Playhouse and Quarry Hill, in the kind of place that you wouldn't really go wandering around for fun unless you had a reason. Make that reason Emmaus. It is a charity shop with a difference because it is also a community that helps homeless people out of homelessness. I fist heard about it on Radio 4 a couple of years ago and decided to see if there was one in Leeds. It was set up in France in the 1940s and is now a worldwide organisation. People in the community renovate and resell furniture to develop theirs skills and help them out of homelessness. The shop part of the community in Leeds is pretty large. Most of this is dedicated to second hand furniture but there are also clothes, brick a brack and a book area around a cafe where you can get cakes and very cheap meals. It is possible to donate to Emmaus and it is definitely a worthy cause or you can support the cause by visiting the shop. I believe there is also a small branch in Leeds City Market.

SLATE (South Leeds Alternative Trading Enterprise) is a second hand furniture shop, opposite The…read moreRange in Hunslet, which is 'a social enterprise providing work opportunities for people with learning difficulties'. I got that bit off the website so I wasn't un-pc about it. Mostly I like SLATE because of the bargainous second hand furniture, but you have to go on a Thursday or Friday because that's when they get their new stuff in. On a Wednesday it's a bit empty. Also they 'sell' second hand Dysons for a five pound donation (ahem), which they put together from parts from broken ones. There's some legal thing though which is why it's a 'donation', I don't know, someone explained it to me and I got confused. One time we went here when the minibuses were being loaded up and some man shouted either 'SAUSAGE! SAUSAGE! SAUSAGE!' at us or it might have been 'TOSSERS! TOSSERS! TOSSERS!', we couldn't tell. It was a bit unnerving.

Thank you for the absurdly unprofessional service--truly an experience I won't forget…read more We ordered a wardrobe in February, waited two months, and were supposed to have it installed tomorrow. But now, you've just told me that the door is broken with no replacement available! Your proposed "solutions" are insulting: 1. Pay full price for a new wardrobe and wait another 2-3 months. 2. Buy a damaged display unit at half price--knowing it's in terrible condition and in fact you just wanted me to help with the clearance of old display! What a good idea for your company! Don't treat me like an idiot! No apology. No compensation. Just inconvenience and extra costs dumped on me. And keeping to take more advantage of me! Put yourself in my shoes: How would you feel? What would you do? I expect a proper resolution.

He clearly had no intention in finding fault with the sofa, why would he as he is working for you. Its is my intention to have my own assessment of the sofa carried out by a furniture specialist. Off course this is going too cost; however I am prepared to except their findings. If they say the sofa is ok I will accept their diction. However if they confirm there are faults would Pratts accept the findings. Your upholsterer commented, "We are looking after the sofa". Correct this was a huge investment for us. The sofa we received is not wearing well the cushions are of poor quality even after fluffing they still look misshaped. This sofa is not even two years old & it looks like its 10 years old. My wife & I are very disappointed with the product. We came to Prats expecting high quality furniture & feel that we did not get the quality we paid for. We feel we should have gone to DFS etc.

There are rumours that Jared, owner of OK Comics, hatched from an egg from atop a volcano. I cannot…read moreconfirm this, but I can say that a world without OK Comics would be a a world without joy. Everything a comic book lover needs is nestled in this cosy little store. Downstairs you have the latest releases (as I like to call it, the Wednesday Wall) plus back issues from some of the bigger publishers. You also have graphic novels, trades, and manga - often some of it at a discounted price. - perfect for people just getting into comics. Upstairs is like a comic museum. 50p back issues in classic cardboard boxes and even more trades to whet your whistle. This is a great place if you're looking for that one issue to complete a story arc. Back to Jared and co. The staff are some of the friendliest and most knowledgeable that you could ever come across. I've been in other comic book stores around the country (and world) and very few can compare to the awesomess of the OK staff. If you're a comic book fan, get your fleshy behind to OK Comics. If your interest in comics has been piqued by recent box office smashes, then let your legs escort you to OK. Is that enough gushing? You want something negative? Ok, well, I heard that at the stroke of midnight the comics in the store come alive and contribute to 60% of the grafitti in the city centre.
