They had a few, the 'small' sizes were 68 x 105 and cost $59.00 each. Ornate beauties. They shop is obscurely tucked close by to New Lynn Mall on Clark Street,number 18.

The furniture is all wood, often what would be referred to as possessing rustic charm, while some is oriental in style, brightly coloured in blues and yellows. These are stand out pieces and in particular the draws and cabinets are amazing. They also offer some interesting storage options, shelves that look like ladders, ladders made from wood that serve no purpose but to hang from a wall and large boxes and baskets made from white washed cane. The Beach offers something really different, if you want you home to look Vogue Living worthy then this would be the place to come.
