Whilst we bought our king sized bed frame from Harvey Norman, we wanted our son to transition from…read morehis cot to big boy bed in style too. But we were on a budget. So we went here and ended up buying him a really awesome cushioned on all sides double bed frame and might I say, he loves it. It cost us under $200 and a similar bed frame everywhere else was at least $400, the quality was pretty much the same. We also went back when they had their Easter sale and bought our 2 leather recliners for my husband's 'man-room' there for $200 off the price listed which we were pretty damned happy about. We did do our research and the thing is, A-Mart have previously never been known for their quality, people usually went there to get the cheaper furniture because they couldn't afford to get the quality stuff. Having said that, this A-Mart now stocks more than a handful of awesome dining tables (which we bought a set of) and leather chairs as well as outdoor furnitre which I'm sure we will check out as well when we have the budget for it. So A-Mart is coming good and trying to shed the previous image, good on them! Definetely check out their cute little leather chairs for kids too, at $99 they are so worth it. Plus, how cool would they look.

For hardware shops, you can't get better than this…read more My favourite is the children's playground, just shove the little suckers in there and close the gate, where can they go? That's right, nowhere. While you have a little coffee to de-insane your mind. My second favourite spot in this massive warehouse is the garden centre. They have cool terracotta pots and statues for your garden, they even have chicken coups and guinea pig cages. Pretty sure they have bird aviaries as well. They sell trees, flowers, plants, plastic plants, marbles, stones, aquarium rocks, moss... everything for your gardening needs. And the prices won't break your bank either. My third favourite section is the section right inside of the garden area, where they sell kids chairs and playhouses, and slides and swings and how cute is that kiddy lounge chair? They're pretty cheap too from $10. Not sure how long they'll last, but I bought some anyway. My fourth favourite section is the art supplies section. They sell little wooden bread boxes you can paint, they sell paint brushes and a really cool range of acryllic and oil based paints and they sell rollers as well for painting walls. In a different section you can get your perfect paint colour made up and shaken too. My fifth and last favourite section is the lighting section near the back of the shop. Here we bought our exhaust fan/normal lights/heating lights for our bathroom and they look spectacular, even though we had no idea, someone was always around to give us one, or what they thought, sometimes they didn't even work there. That's the kind of person that shops at Bunnings. Definetely worth going there, if not for the cheap insect catchers and mini garden pots and number plate signs for your house or business. It's also got a playground!

Who doesn't love Bunnings?…read more I know next to nothing about DIY, but upon entering a Bunnings I'm suddenly filled with the confidence to renovate, feng shui my life or simply change all the knobs and doorhandles around the house. Absolutely anything seems possible. Fortunately I tend to snap to before I attempt to jam the entire warehouse into my car. Instead I'll usually just wander up to one of the many friendly and knowledgable staff and ask about this that and the other. Tools, colours, key cutting - These guys know it all.

I'm not a fan of Super A-mart whose showroom is chook full of cheap-looking, student -style…read morefurniture without the student prices. The warping chipboards on their book shelves and flimsy mattresses on the bed frames make me suspect their durability. On the plus side, the Macgregor showrooms are huge. There's one big shed dedicated to outdoor furnishings, another shed for office and a third shed for indoor lounge/ dining. The first time I came here, I didn't appreciate the distance between the showrooms. By the time I walked to the third shed (in the midday sun), I was dehydrated. Points go to their excellent vending machine facilities in the third shed. Perhaps they've had too many customers faint while walking the length of their showroom. For future reference, it's much better to drive you car around to park at the specific shed you are after. Super A-mart is worth checking out during the sales if you are looking at furnishing student accommodation at relatively cheaper prices.

I understand this is considered cheap furniture here, but at this price level at an equivalent…read morestore in Canada (where I come from ), the quality would be about 50% of what it is here. Wood items are mostly solid wood, there's lots of leather and mostly leather furniture, fabric quality is good, and now that we have the furniture in our home, I can tell you everything is perfectly comfortable. They have three separate showrooms, one for living room, one for bedroom, and one for outdoors. Prices are pretty good, at a little more than half of what you might find at just about any furniture store. Delivery was quick and painless and customer service was not bad, either. One of our items arrived damaged, but they replaced it right away with no questions asked.
