I've always been a bit of an Ikea man when it comes to furniture. I don't really care all that much, as long as the place looks presentable. Some of the furniture in this place really is wonderful though. Firstly let me say I'm not a fan of leather, so I stayed right away from that. I don't like the feel of it all that much and in summer you stick to it. Their fabric lounges are the ones I made a beeline for and they were extremely comfortable. You can just sink into them and they ooze quality. There are a lot of practical storage options as well, and they are very pleasing to the eye. the book cases in particular, while they may look simple are actually quite elegant. The prices are noticeably higher than you would find at Ikea, but you're paying for quality here. With that being said, they're nowhere near as expensive as some places I've seen.

Due to its Gepps Cross location, I am lucky enough to be the first to review. Today my best friend and I were cruising around, you know, just shopping for some cool stuff...and this massive store happened to be right next to JB Hi-Fi, where we bought a new PS3 game to play together. Yes, we young guys love our computer games. I admit it - we were going to go home straight after, but I couldn't resist it. We stepped in, and all I could mutter was, "Whoa!....This is massive! And it's so well laid out!" I ... just ... can't....get...enough! The male owner smiled and said hello to me straight away! He's hidden, located right in the middle of the store, so you have to walk a few metres forward before you see him. He introduced me to his range of products, and I was impressed with his efficient furniture education. The latest colours are black and white modern, and the prices were shocking - $600 for a black desk! And he told me I can mix and match colours such and dark and light browns stylishly with other colours. He then showed me what rustic (country) furniture looked like...now I have a better idea of how I'm going to lay out my new house in the future. But hopefully my bank account doesn't go bankrupt if I'm going to make my interior look as snazzy as this store.

I went to a few tile places but settled on Life's Tiles. They were able to provide me with guidance on what type of tiles would suit my house and advise me accordingly, as well as let me know roughly how many tiles I would need. Admittedly they were a bit off and some boxes had to go back, but they refunded them with no problems. Better to have too many than not enough!! The price was great and the service was fantastic. What more can you ask? They even offer installation, though I had my own tiler do that for me, so I can't really comment on that part of it unfortunately.

Recently had a bathroom renovated and went looking for tiles. Life's Tiles at Salisbury Plain had…read morean excellent range and were very helpful with the tile selection. We took our house plans with us and had Life's Tiles estimate how many of each floor and wall tile we would need and also allow a standard 10% for cutting and breakage which sounded fair. When the job was completed we had 3 boxes of wall and 1 box of floor tiles remaining as well as a number of loose tiles. I then rang to organise the return of the full boxes and was informed that they could not be returned even though they were 1st grade and in current production. Looking at a previous review over estimating beyond the 10% seems to be something that happens regularly but he was lucky enough to be able to return his excess tiles. Trap for young players! I now wonder how much extra goes into the till now that they are refusing to take the excess back.

Located in the new homemaker centre in Gepps Cross I honestly don't even bother looking in the others because I know I'll find what I like here for my budget. Being young and ready to move out of home soon, I've been gathering bits and pieces. I got a full solid wooden queen bed here with a beautiful mattress (I like quality so it was a nice soft one), for only $1500 with 2 bed side tables with draws which I thought was great. They deliver to your house as well which is handy, seeing as my car won't fit a queen mattress in the boot obviously. The staff are a little busy almost all the time so be prepared to wait around a bit or go hunting for someone, and they aren't too knowledgeable so I always go there with a certain thing in mind and research myself.

They delivered me some Fiji furniture which is gorgeous all turned up wrapped perfectly however one chair was definitely dropped prior to delivery as turned up with a chunk out of it and warped ...,called and spoke to faith who sorted this immediately and assured delivery the next morning which surprised me ..... Had a phone call later that night confirming delivery for next morning .... Didn't come in the morning hubby called store and they assured me afternoon which yey happened in the end , not faiths fault think just communication problems with drivers and logistics but overall great product great price not unwrapping til I get to my final destination next week but store said any problems to let her know ASAP and they would sort , so overall a great store to do business with , helpful , friendly , just tweak deliveries more and yr there !!!

I think this is the end of the road in my search in finding a mattress, in more ways than one, if…read morewe were travelling via Taxi it would've been a huge fare! It was an epic distance to travel for us but after doing my research online for a latex mattress this seemed like a good place to visit....Pooraka here we come! Town and Country make and sell either 100% pure Dunlop Australian and New Zealand Latex or a combination of Latex and Viscoflex Memory Foam top mattresses. They also have a range of flexible slat base beds to suit. Available in various sizes and can also customise the mattress to suit needs. Slat beds only as they are the best for latex to breathe. And they suggested flexi slats because you can increase or decrease the firmness of the mattress by adjusting the plastic tension system on the slats. Yes this sounds like a good place to go. We were the only customers in the store and we had the salesman's absolute attention. He was really quite good as he discussed with us the benefits of memory foam and pure latex and advised not all latex was created equal. An interesting point he mentioned was the fact that when the latex mattress layers are bound together as two separate layers stuck together, you don't get as hot as because the two negate each other when you're sleeping on it. Short of buying one, I don't know if I can believe this as it's contrary to what every other bedding place says, but then again none of the others' sold pure latex mattress, there's other 'ingredients' in the mix of the layer composition. Grrr. We found the prices to be on par with another bedding place we visited, so it was no great saving but on the other hand Town and Country deal with Dunlop an Australian Latex registered as Latex Gold, compared to the imported Latex from Thailand alot of the other stores deal with. We could also have a bottom layer of firm latex and the top layer as memory foam, whereas at the other stores we have to select from their named range only...and it's much more expensive, in fact double at some places. And again it's really tricky as each store has their own range manufactured to their specifications, so there is no way to compare apples to apples!! To be sure we went back to Forty Winks Mile End, as it was my first port of call on my bed adventure and wanted to compare the memory foam Tempur mattress, which was the one I got steered towards in the first place, but it's mega expensive - despite the current sale. My hubby doesn't like latex or memory foam as it was for my benefit he persisted in coming and he loves me (awww) so the option is clear...two separate mattresses on the one base which will give us a King size bed, or two long singles on individual bases, which equates to a King size - plus we can push them apart when we have a tiff, he, he,he!! So in short, what we've learnt from this experience and to suit our needs, it's the above option. Sure it would be cheaper to buy the one mattress as a whole, but it won't meet individual needs, so it's the next best thing despite costing more (but not a great deal), for a bed that should last over 10 - 15 years...a small price to pay for spending half your lifetime in bed, may aswell be comfortable.

Hi, For anyone…read morelooking at purchasing a natural latex mattress, all I can say is 'buyer beware' Unless you like the smell of latex these mattresses never give up gassing off the horrible odour of chemical rubber, even worst when it's hot. (smell a latex glove, then times it by a million and try to sleep on it) I have a $2400 100% natural latex mattress that occupies our spare room and we cannot get a refund for it even though it is still brand new, because the only fault with it is that it smells like latex. Yep, that's what we bought !! It's been 18 months now and it still stinks really bad. Very sad, and a waste of money. If I can warn others of this major fault and stop them from going down the latex jargon path like I did my job is done. Buyer Beware
